Function !!

 

Here's Argento, Audax and Algaard under construction.

 

Its standard for me now to check my elements before I put on the cladding (armour).

Yes, yes, I add the colours myself.

But for anyone starting out, you may also find this sort of thing helpful in your functional designs

In a recent post, i outlined the ships classification system that i will adopt and apply to my ship designs.  The system is linked to the number of upgrades the ship has.

One idea in this system, is that ships with less than 4 slot upgrades are referred to collectively as scouts.

 

My Classification System is thus:

My FORMER Classification System is thus:

[*]Scout I  (or Skow)

[*]Scout II  (or Shuttle)

[*]Scout III  (or Voyageur)

[*]Fighter

[*]Heavy Fighter

[*]Corvette

[*]Frigate

[*]Destroyer

[*]Cruiser

[*]Heavy Cruiser  (or Assault Cruiser)

[*]Battle Cruiser

[*]Battleship

[*]Dreadnought

[*]Titan

[*]Mobile Fortress

45 degree angles of very thin pieces (like wings in this case) are just incredibly hard to build...my advice: build them on 10x scale and then scale them down. They are going to have a HIGH block count though, no way around it. The further from 45 degrees you get, the fewer blocks you have to use for a given desired thin-ness and the easier it will be. Good luck!

Ah ... k, thanks Blonder ...

 

Here is my first attempt - yes, I realize it looks like space junk, but a first attempt, its not so bad, lol

 

Hmm, btw to see my pics, I think you need to be logged in.  Eventually I will start posting pics online, so its easier to see, and in better quality.

 

Cheers

You'll have issue with the down sloping wings, and the curved parts.

If you square out the curves and flatten out the wings then it's not so bad, but you will lose the feel those downward sloping wings give.

 

Nice work on the Aegoran :)

Thank you Pob.

 

Ok, and finally, I have posted my pics of the Aegoran online.  So you can see a little better.

These were my first screens ever.  Once I re-post the Aegoran in a more flattering light, I will drop the link -here-

And yes, I know this is an ugly dastard of a ship, but this was strictly for proof of concept.

 

Took a cuppla tries to figure out the raising arms, so now I will try this on a real fighting design.

Thanks for the advise by the way.  Appreciated !!

 

Enjoy, the very rough "Intrepid"

Intrepid%204_zpsikol6nqu.jpg

Intrepid%205_zpsvpomd8ep.jpg

Intrepid%206_zpszv6unvw0.jpg

 

 

Like I said, the Intrepid is rough ... but little did I know, that this turned out to be a learning experience (regarding angles and arcs).

 

...

Here again is the technique with clean angles put to another use.  Used in the construction of this major part for the Jackal.

Why did you copy my statue without asking huh?

 

Hi Zajc

 

I just got back from holidays and am resetting my posts ...

And I was about to give credit to your fantastic works.

 

As Zajc pointed out, the original statue is from his Emperor class ship

http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1527.0.html

 

I made a few changes in his design to fit the lit situ for my shaded spot on some of my ships

 

Cheers

For an early game Starter Ship, a Scout or a fast Late Game Miner Buddy ...

Part of my plan, was to "just" reach the 4th Slot.  ;)

 

 

Argento

 

I tried to keep the titanium down, and the iron up.  The intent here was for a relatively efficient starter.  The cash cost is more than I was hoping for, but the esthetics are what cost the most i think. 

 

As well, it is built for speed, as you will see.

(by the way ... how do I do the SPOILER thing?  Do most of you appreciate the spoiler option??)  (Yay, someone shared, see lower down in thread).

This was my first ever ship, of any intentional design.  At the time, I was really enjoying the game, was a total newb, but I wanted something big (yeah, i know - its small, but at the time it "seemed" big, lol  :-[).

 

Turns out, this design has a few esthetic flaws, is too expensive to be called a starter ship - and its kinda crappy cuz it has no shield.

But, if i was ever to restart, this ship is a nice stepping stone to something larger, and more expensive.  And yeah, that includes a dang shield.

 

But at less than 235,000 Units, its not a bad price, and only 35000 Titanium.

(All stats are listed in last photo - and you can see the prices were also captured in the screenshot)

 

 

Arrius (renamed from Exeter)

Ok, the Jackal ... the first attempt on the side pods was a -fail-,  :'( lol.

 

Hit the drawing board again, but ran outa time.  In the meantime, here is the side pods (Component Part Only).  I still gotta rig up the mount, and will try to get to it tomorrow after work, and post it with the full, completed ship.

 

(Again, the original concept drawing of the Jackal is from Ignus Dei).

 

Cheers

 

 

Jackal - under construction - component parts for now (Pods)

33 x 12, and thin.  Just 0.5 block width.

Please let me know if you have wing pods like this already ... maybe post your link to your page.

 

Cheers :)

The reason a lot of people put spoilers is because, without them, it makes finding something specific a lot more annoying because pictures make the posts much, much longer. You put them in like this:

 

[spoiler] stuff [/spoiler]

You can add info by doing this: [spoiler=info] stuff [/spoiler]

 

To post XMLs, you need to host them somewhere. Easiest option is probably dropbox. You can simply put them there, right click either the file or the folder and copy the link. Then insert it like this:

 

[url=link to your ship] link text [/url]

The wing pods for the Jackal are done ... was a bit of work - but in the end, the effort was worthwhile.

 

Jackal Wing Pods - mount-ready (for copy & paste & mirroring)

Among my ships, the deficiency I had was for a transport.  The Jackal was built for speed and for hauling.

 

This build (from 10.2 version) has over 4900 cargo ... but I may need to rethink that with the 0.11 Version update.

Stats are not posted today, sorry, as the re-work may take me a day or two.

 

In the meantime ...

The Jackal
