make the nose more bulbous. right now its like a flat shoe.

Damn. I just forgot all the details that would make the ship look less like ass. The true hull should have a mass of about 50k. Anything else is just decoration. Probably end up being 50 to 60k in mass range.

Missile turrets are planned for this thing because thats what the game favors. A half dozen or so point defense too. They're going to resemble either a ZSU 37 4 (6?) or those turrets in the colony in Galactica.

[Mr. Hurricane]

hey heeeeey



definitely going to change the flat plate part. The nose now house a beak/tumor akin to that of maritime patrol aircraft or helicopters or AWACS. Rear is going to have some Schurzen looking stuff, plates that extend from the hull. Same as those on the underside of the bow.

engine nacelles may or may not come before the skin is put over the skellington

Also, I'm debating whether to have a large bridge akin to that of things in SBY, or have a sleeker one and a detailed CIC.

Curious question, what's the most efficient way to make money for you guys? Speaking in singleplayer terms, without cheating.

agh

I don't know what color scheme to use. The ship is currently red, which I thought would look a lot darker. Now, I don't know whether to change it to Grey with Black and Red secondary or keep it as is. I'm leaning towards grey.

good idea

grey with red as a compliment would look good and would fit the usual theme comr4de and planr go with

my own scheme involves a blood red with dark grey. Unfortunately we can't have nice things.

I'm not sure of the best way to lay the skin over the skeleton either. Should the skin be on top or should it be at the level of the skeleton?

Edit: Red Advanced Armor is closer to the shade I'd like, but it's not really applicable in PvP, or at least by Premier Codmrod's doctrine. How's armor getting revamped anyway?

[Frequency]

well, armor's going to be less useless in the future

unless they already pushed that update

i'm confused

why isn't comr4de here to help me

i'm a caterpillar with no wings

[Mr. Hurricane]

Also I'm afraid even at ~160m long the ship isn't going to be in the 50k mass range.

Thid is true. The Sunrise is a heavy-set 264-meter long battleship and it weighs in at 41,000 mass

Your ship will most likely weigh between 8,000 to 25,000 mass.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Might have to build another ship. I'll see whether or not I can bear to finish this one though. Perhaps a specialty cruiser will come out of this current design.

50k mass is the end of practicality in Pvp if I understand correctly, right?

Basically.
