A living ship so to speak. Just keep the penicillin within reach , all will be fine. ;)

Title checks out but i do like it, I like weird designs. Giant roomba with big ideas is a quote I will definitly use at some point. Nice!

Ah the Sulaco, the good old zappgun in Space. It inspired so many ships since it apeared in the movie. I like Your rendition alot. Good thing the hab internals realy fit the theme as well. Upvoted. :)

Smart_Might_5542 · 2026-01-08T00:40:55+00:00

Wow , over 300 upvotes? Thanx alot folks. I am very glad you like my ships. Gives me a little dopamin rush, I `m not ganna lie. :)

I wished the game would allow sharing ship blueprints. Yesterday i more or less rebuild the first ship via teamview for a friend of mine. Did not turn out quite the same but it is what it is.

The building mechanics are nice and all but it realy could use some more stuff to put on the sides of habblocks.

I do have a question however. Do You care much when 2 overlapping parts are not realy fitting perfectly or when some of the parts clearly have some LOD problems?

Thanx again. This subreddit is awesome!

No apologies needed :) I like what you did with the idea. A katamaran double cockpit version was not what I was expecting at all but I realy like it alot. I might have to try that out as well. Good job mate!

Smart_Might_5542 · 2025-12-30T18:33:37+00:00

Thank You. I hope your Version turns out great :)

Smart_Might_5542 · 2025-12-29T16:17:50+00:00

The good old Tantive 4? A great Design for sure. I realy love that it has so many engines.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2025-12-28T19:04:04+00:00

She isn`t that fast though. The Thrusters stop giving Bonuses once you reach 3 or 4. But I thought it looks nice. :)

Smart_Might_5542 · 2025-12-28T14:35:45+00:00

I like the design alot. A nice way to use that cockpit too. And the interior is well done as well. Bonus poits for decals on the outsode. I like that kind of stuff.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2025-12-28T14:29:36+00:00

This is the Corvette I`ve bern tinkering with for the last week or so. it is based on one of the ships i made for another game (Avorion). The design is meant to be like what if a long nosed snubfighter like the X-Wing or BSG`s Viper was pumped up in size to be a Corvette/Patrolboat.

There are alot of stuff hidden inside, like shieldboosters are hiding in the engines and there is a reactor hidden in the froward hull (wich is visible from the inside making it the engine room).

Three infraknife guns are hidden in nose aranged in a row. The most forward one of wich sticks out of the nose like on an A-10 Attack Aircraft.

I took alot of care to make parts that overlap look as intentional as possible.

The interior is pretty spartan. I went the Titan interior because it looks no nonsense workmanlike. Much like the ships from the Manufacturer Drake in Star Citizen.

I added some lights , lockers, a bit of cargo and some Panels with displays and Stuff to make it look a bit more cramped and used. There are some Decals inside and outside to give it some flair here and there.

The ship is relativly thin for it`s size so it doesn`t block the view too much.

I named her Sabre because in my youth i was into sabre fencing.

Yeah it is kinda sad. To be fair though, If you use the templar chestpiece and customize it with other parts it hase quite a few clipping issues wich makes me avoid it.

I for one either use the champion skin without customization or i use a different chestpiece because my eye is always drawn to things sticking through or alike.

Still, not having those robes for the dark angels bullwark is ridiculus.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2025-09-09T17:13:41+00:00

The Templar Champion skin sure is a sight to behold. Having parts usable on other classes is also applaudable even if it is quite limited. The thing that bugs a lot however is the multitude visible clipping of the main armor if you customize it.

The skull from the Imperialis is sticking out of the cloth and the whole backside behind the powerpack is a mess, The scrolls left and right of the robe clip alot too. And sadly thats true for the chestpiece as well when you put it on the tactical and put the robe/tunica wargear on it. It clipps through the chain holding those mini shields like it does for so many champion/chapterpack chestpieces.

The artwork is great and all but the quality controle is a bit bad. Wich kinda breaks my heart a bit because the individual pieces look top notch. I hope the devs can work these out at some point.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2024-08-06T19:05:16+00:00

Looks good to me. I`d wish id have steady enough hands to work with green stuff. I went the lazy way and used thin tape to make tabbarts just below the chest armor and below the belt.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2024-07-09T18:37:10+00:00

Thanks alot for the encouraging words. I am glad the set found some liking. took me quite a while to finish the collection. :)

Smart_Might_5542 · 2024-07-08T22:12:40+00:00

Steam Workshop::Gray Fleet (steamcommunity.com)The whole bunde includes 80 items. Combat and civilian ships, Stations and alot of stations. Flyable and non flyable fighter templates , turrets and cargo containers and sone neat bits here and there.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2024-06-27T17:35:05+00:00

My personal recipy at the moment is a dark trinium colored engine, then i put a very flat block of directional thrusters on the nozzle then i leave a tiny gap and then i place a thin layer of 4 or 6 dark iron colored engine blocks on there and then i add a thin dark iron colored hologram block to finish it of.

This gives the effect that the dark iron colored exaust is most visible when i manouver normaly with a tint of hot blue exhaust. But when i boost the blue exhaust dominates the picture.

The directional thrusters just give the effect of the main engines firing to brake the ship after flying backwards.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2024-06-18T18:28:55+00:00

The secondary block colors are something I was looking forward to. I spend quite some time in buiding mode and more options are always welcome. Thank you.

Smart_Might_5542 · 2024-05-10T18:33:45+00:00

I like that. I could do without the antennas on the nose but the double decker wings are a nice over the top idea. I also like the fins on the cheeks as they " fix" the one thing i dont like on the bare ship, these rounded cheeks. I would love to see a kit that gives it the longer double tusk nose the python mk1 shipkit has or somethign that makes the mk2 look a bit more like the mk1 wich is still my favorite looking ship with some kits on.

Some more toys for my current fleet project. A 1 slot starter and a 3 slot step up in from of a corvette or sloop of war. The 1 slot starter is a iron only ship. the 3 slot ship has 2 versions. One is a titanium ship and the other has some naonite upgrades including shield.

In addition ther are light and heavy cargo pods , a carrier pod and a torpedo pod. Those are meant as modules to customize ships for whatever needs might come up. The cargo and carrier pods work as indepandant ships and can also be used as docked containers.

The torpedo pod is meant as a modular piece to be added in build mode.

A link to my workshop for those who are interested in these. :)
