PandoraStar Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi all =) This was my first attempt at a proper build. Was just intending to build a mid sized ship but 1800 blocks latter I think i got carried away a bit and not all that happy with how it turned out, it still looks a bit too much like a flying brick but building it gave me a few ideas. Corsair here is another look at it just in gray XML: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p5a3kxsn7qhmav4/Gadamedes%20Corsair.xml?dl=0 Built new micro fighter... is smaller than I intended but has been fun jetting around. Its not that much bigger than the drone. Still might get some work done on back and will test to see how a larger version of this goes. There are some access points but seem much point adding them all due to its small size. Elver xml: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tosxsoo7pvbenfv/Elver.xml?dl=0 Gadamedes Prima Dona - titanium/naonite - Its good enough for now. Going to be polishing it up a bit when I do a higher tier version xml: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1yk92y3outoi363/ship0.xml?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19MT70 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Looks great! For myself I'd have to tone down the color a bit though lol. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandoraStar Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Current work in progress. it is going to be mostly titanium and naonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandoraStar Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 well. that was how it was starting to look. i changed my mind a bit. Almost got a bit of a feel of a terran battlecruiser from starcraft from the shape of it (hammerhead front) which was unintentional. That might be an interesting build at one point. I think I am just trying to do too much with it =( . I might cut down some bits and add some elements from the battlecruiser. Some suggestions for a name would be nice as im currently drawing a blank on that but let me know what you think so far =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19MT70 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Nothing wrong with how it looks now in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It's busy but I like it. I want to break myself of the habit of sticking angled blocks on everything and make things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeet Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 nice work those look great can't wait to give the elver a spin ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell_fen Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 i like the two smaller versions of your ship you have on each side, almost looks like docked strike craft or somthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandoraStar Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Pob: One advantage to just using angled blocks on everything is it seems you will have a more efficient designs and less weight. lol, so much extra cost and waste in this design just to look more interesting. After this one I might just finish off that one above with the black engine parts just so I have a more effective ship and not have 4 elver's attached to it. they do add some bonus but at 1800 blocks each it is a bit much =p this one is mostly just for fun rather than being efficient. Yeet: Thanks =) elver turned out better than I expected for just a small build. Since you dont need cargo pods for mining iv been using it to dart into more dangerous areas (being small its harder to hit) and mining/pillaging their resources. Not really all that effective really but haha, yeah. If you come up with a better variant of it let me know. I kind of just built it to be attached to one of my larger designs and not really a stand alone kind of thing. That was the idea at least. Ell_fen: The top side is going to be the same at the bottom. So 4 strike craft. mayby I should make something like that its name. strike craft carrier?? hmm... would be cool if you could detach and re-attach strike craft from a ship like this instead of just having fighters but that might be a asking a bit much.

Bishop22 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Could I get the xml for this guy? It is similarly build to how I generally put my stuff together, except that yours has aesthetics and mine just look like space fairing bricks lol I don't even care if the design is done, it looks good as is. well. that was how it was starting to look. i changed my mind a bit. Almost got a bit of a feel of a terran battlecruiser from starcraft from the shape of it (hammerhead front) which was unintentional. That might be an interesting build at one point. I think I am just trying to do too much with it =( . I might cut down some bits and add some elements from the battlecruiser.

PandoraStar Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 well.. I haven't had a chance to work on it in the last couple of days the top is meant to be the same as the bottom side and parts are missing. I haven't spent much time at all balancing the systems. its ment to be titanium/naonite but there might be some higher tier resource on there that i haven't got around to changing yet. still very much a work in progress. xml: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nho5scv1i1r6x7c/Gadamedes%20Prima%20Dona.xml?dl=0 As I said above it is far from done but yep. play around to your hearts content. Ill get to it eventually. Im happy enough with the front. The 4 strike craft all have thrusters in them. the crew quarters are all just underneath what is meant to be heat radiators at top/bottom. everything else should be fairly accessible so should be able to be changed easily enough. dont have many directional thrusters, have not fine tuned that part but it had good enough turn rate for now but if you want to play around with it yourself feel free =) let me know what you end up with. Im hoping to get a bit more done on the weekend so should something better by monday but will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandoraStar Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 going to be going back to doing something like this one next was not all that happy with how last one worked out so im going to try something more streamlined. it was way to fussy in some parts so im going to be skipping having the 4 extra small ships on it (they just take up mass and too many extra parts). will see how things go. ill carry the look/design elements of the engines on the sides throughout the ship. Paying more attention to detail, should be easier with simpler design. Yeah, kind of just ran out of patience with last one. burnt me out a bit.

Sable Phoenix Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I really love the visual complexity of your designs. The usage of specific, standout colors punctuating the large gray stretches, mixed with extensive greebling, makes them supremely interesting to look at.

PandoraStar Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Cheers Sable Phoenix =D. Im getting a better idea of what i am looking to do, just trying to piece everything together is the issue =p. Trying to simplify design elements in this one so I can get the basic style down right. Then it should be easier from then on. lol. hopefully. The more you add though the less efficient design is but oh well, if I wanted efficient I would just do a Borg style cube.
