Rover Class Cargo Transport
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/Rover-c.BMP
The Rover Class Cargo Transport is quite a versitile ship. Although plans are still in devolpement, some things about the Rover are confirmed. For one, the Rover will have an intergrated flying system and a level 3 AI. It will also have acommadations for a crew of 8, and will sport 2.5 bathrooms. One big feature about this ship is that it will include a Shaw-F engine, thus making it capible of slipspace travel.

Military Ships

Harpoon Class Light Attack Vessel
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/RamCrus.FSC.BMP
The Harpoon Class Light Attack Vessel is designed to be used en mass. They have only 2 armorments, both being energy weapons. Now, for armorment, this thing has less then a fighter, but it has another use. Did you ever want to just ram your enemies ship? Well, now you can. When the Harpoon is sold, it will have speical modifications to maximize the damage done to the defending craft.
Progress: 100%

Ryder Class Utility Ship
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/ShipOne.FSC.BMP
The Ryder Class Utility Ship is just what it says it is, a utility ship. Although armorment is in short supply, the pure mass of the rear-mounted cannon, and the energy weapon on the under-side, make up for the lost firepower. It also can house a full 3 squadrons of fighters, and has a cargo bay. Yet another feature is the intergrated command center. With a ship as usible as this one, you don't have to waste time on all those specialized ships.
Progress: 100%

Stingray Class Light Assault Carrier
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/Stingray.FSC.BMP
The Stingray Class Light Assault Carrier is a great foward attack ship. Its main role is a carrier, it can hold about 48 fighters, but it also has a fare amount of armorment. It doesn't sacrifice any speed either, and as such is an ideal ship for attacking.
Progress: 96%

Mars Class Battleship
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/Mars.FSC.BMP
The Mars Class Battleship is your tipical battleship. It has an assortment of weapons, including a MAC gun. It also has laser weapons, missile pods, and quite a few projectile weapons. The Mars can hold its own agains many ships, and it well suited for a heavy assault.

Progress: 87%

Behemoth Class Dreadernought Battleship
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/Behemoth.FSC.BMP
The Behemoth Class Dreadernought Battleship is fully loaded. It is just about as heavy as Battleships get. With over 50 weapons, and 2 MAC guns, this thing it packed. It also can take a hit with extreamly heavy armor.

Progress: 91%

War Hammer Class Supercarrier
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/Carrier.FSC.BMP
The War Hammer Class Supercarrier is a true supercarrier. Not only does it have the 2nd biggest missle salvo capibility in the fleet, it can carry up to 24 squadrons of fighters. It is also armed with 2 point-defense platforms and 1 MAC cannon.

Progress: 76%

Orbitial Defense Platforms

Flower Class Defense Pod
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/OrbitPod.FSC.BMP
The Flower Class Defense Pod is a great anti-crusier/battleship gun. With the massive plasma weapon in the middle, it will gut even the heaviest assault ships.
Progress: 98%

Halcyon Class Defense Station
http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/LasCan.FSC.BMP
The Halcyon Class Defense Station is not quite as powerful as the Flower Class, but it still packs a punch. One advantage to Halcyon is that it can target two different targets at the same time.

Project: Morpheus

http://home.att.net/~mlbr24/MORPH001.BMP
Project: Morpheus is a huge orbital shiping yard. Its vast proportions are unfathomable, to the extend that it is currently being built by over 500,000 men and robots, and it is projected to be finished within the next 2 months. Once fully operational, Morpheus will be able to churn out well over any other OSY.

ooc: If you save them as JPEG they can be a lot bigger.

OOC: Yeah, I know. The problem is that I need them small, in file size. My uploading site is getting real close to the max, but hopefully, I can get more room, we will see.

:tag/bump:

Not bad. You using DOGA?

Yes, not very well, but yes.

Oooh...Nice pics. Now they just need to be bigger, with fancy backgrounds and textures and colours and shields... :p
I really like the Ryder design.
If you save them as jpgs you can have larger pics yet smaller file sizes. Bitmaps are absolutely massive.
Another comment, they seem kinda underarmed. A single plasma cannon, even a heavy plasma cannon, isn't very effective against anything with shields.
Your light attack vessels seem to be a cross between a fighter and a missile. Personally I'd go for sepearate Ramships/Needleships and fighters, but it's really up to you.
As you said, your utility ship is underarmed, but I must say I don't think your fighter squadrons make up for it. My capital ships have large complements of both weapons and fighters, making them more versatile.
Carrier looks good.
How can you have 2.5 bathrooms? .5? Is that like, half a toilet or something :confused:

And that's my two cents...
[/Kent Brockman]

OOC: About the images.

Right now, I'm doing things quick like. I have over 30 designs on my comp, and I don't really need to fiddle with pics right now since I don't really care (right now). Once I start selling these, I will have a picture, and a VRML file (hopefully) for download.

TST,
The Harpoon Class is mainly different then a fighter for two reasons. A, it is quite a bit larger, but still small enough, if that makes any sense. 2, it has no missiles, which almost all fighters have.

On the orbital guns. When I say big, I mean BIG. And this is true plamsa, not what most 2200 nations use. If you ever read Halo books, it is what the Covenate (sp?) use on there cruisers, ect.

The Utility Ship's fighters aren't ment to make up for the underarmorment. What does is the missile pods that I forgot to mention. Ability to lauch somewhere from 360-520 missiles per salvo.

And 2.5 bathrooms means, like, 2 bathrooms with a shower, sink, and toliet. One with just a sink and toliet. It's an American thing ;)

OOC: nice work on the thread :)

I will be sending you more ships and I am working on the ground equipment right now. But it might take awhile ;)

OOC: Alright, be sure to include both files when you email them, oh, and I might be over on the 17th (that's a Friday).

OOC: Sounds good. Like the battleship, but what's a MAC gun? Project Morpheus is good too, except it's a big fat target for anyone attacking Pyromanicks.
Any chance of any stats for the ships, or are ya too lazy :p

OOC: Thanks again.
A MAC Gun is, a...Magnetically Accelerated Cannon. I don't have my text with me, so I can't elaberate, but when I get it, I'll tell you.

Yes, Morpheus is a huge target. Now, it is actually off the third moon of Kracken (Benbagza's, who is now not a puppet ;), planet). Also, the Ja'Raith Sector is quite large, and the only way(s) in are the following:

Now the Slipspace cordinates...(And Metus doesn't even know these.)

Or...

Jump from warphole to warphole until you warp into my sector. That could take some time, but not if you have good navigation. One thing that makes this tough is that we are in deep space. Roughy, we are 1.6 Billion LY's away from Sol. And yet, we are still eaiser to find then Kajal :).

Stats will be posted when these go on sale.

Pryo is dead, but I plan on rp'ing it's collapse. I had set up a rp on the old forums, called the JIDA (Joint Inter-Dimensional Allience). It was a collective allience spanning time. I want to RP it's demise, and how Barbarosea profited from it, I just don't have time right now. So for the mean-time, Barbarosea is a space/modern tech nation.

I'll also be posting sales and stats soon.
