@foxes Main purpose of this thread is as per first post: By uploading your blueprint, you formally transfer the blueprint to Eleon Game Studios and grant us full permission to use the blueprint in Empyrion - Galactic Survival. We reserve the right to adapt the blueprint if necessary. This means you allow empyrion to use it at their discretion
I know what the first post says, and I don't think this is the main purpose of this thread, because it's the same in the other four threads... That's why he asked what's the purpose of this thread when there are four other dedicated threads, and I told him what I think is the purpose of this specific thread... I still think this one is for BPs that have not been uploaded to Workshop, and this doesn't inxalidate what the first post says...
Razor is equipped with constructor and 02 station whereas the mk2 does not (due to the cobalt requirement which I believe is now gone)
Argos Explorer Starter CV. Size class 1 it weighs less than a kiloton but manages to pack a lot of functionality into that space. It has most of the necessities(lacking a repair station or grow plots but there's room to add them). It's a pretty well put together ship. The design might be a little too close to the Eagle from Space 1999. It wasn't specifically designed to be a replica but it does have some similarities. You'll have to judge for yourselves whether you can use it or not.
This is another class 1 CV. Different design but same idea. Starter components with room to add a few things.
Created my first larger SV. Tried to see how much multi-player I could squeeze into a tramp freighter. I like to build cramped labor vessels over the kind bristling with guns. Please send your feedback if you have time to try it out. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1230820016
Few landing pads: This one have interior space for a base: This one is just a smaller colored version of the previous:
@Ramachandra - total insanity, and if you dream at night - that's some strange movies for sure Great designs as always, for them to be put in game we definitely need one totally new special race to be added
I find much harder to make small CVs. Probably polygon count render them useless, but who knows what the future brings.
Thought I might as well upload my "fleet" so far; although they are built with (solo) player use in mind, if any of them could qualify for official inclusion in the Empyrion universe, all the better! So here goes, with my three SVs first. CVs in the next post, since there's a 10 file upload limit. P8 "Cherub" fighter A short range dedicated fighter/recon craft, intended for use with carrier type CVs or for base defense. P3 "Plunderbus" assault shuttle One of my earliest designs, and still the most used by far. A very versatile and costumisable vessel that will stand up to any threat the Empyrion universe poses so far. P6 "Shriek" heavy gunship First envisioned as an upgrade to the Plunderbus, the Shriek quickly gained its own project number as a vessel in its own right. Sixteen weapon mounts and double layered or more armour. The Shriek is vastly overgunned for the current threat level of Empyrion, and expensive to boot. It essentially exists "just in case" so far, since the Plunderbus is more than adequate for any SV task and far easier to build. A size comparison/little teaser for the CVs:
Onwards to the CVs! P9-1 "Shrike" exploration/utility corvette More or less built around a warp drive, the Shrike is a small, fairly basic CV with basic facilities, a pair of utility turrets and laser weapons for self defense. P9-2 "Shrike-A" raider corvette A completely combat focused side grade to the -1 model. The only crew "comfort" installed is a few oxygen tanks; the rest is taken up by weapons and armour! P11 "Barracuda" frigate My latest design, and probably the last for a while. It's intended as an intermediate CV, has one spacious bay for an SV -or an HV if you want; you'll have to add a ramp, though!- and comes well equipped and decently armed, but is not "maxed out", like its older sibling, the Pike. A very new design, but essentially finished. Test flights have proven satisfactory so far. P4 "Pike" cruiser A fairly old design of mine, my first finished CV in fact. It actually began as a project to build a frigate size vessel with basic abilities, but somehow ran away from me and grew to the 50 kiloton monster posted here. Heavily armored, maxed out on guns, two bays for SVs/HVs, and equipped for any eventuality. P10 "Platypus" carrier Another CV that started as an attempt at a frigate sized craft. Built from a huge hangar bay upwards, it is equipped with every facility for long range operations. Huge and ugly, it is to be honest not my proudest creation, -I called it the Platypus because it kind of looks like that ungainly creature- but if anyone would like to make use of it, have a go!
Use the Capella if you think she fits in Built a new ship just for fun. A small capital. Everything I learned from my previous ship condened into this little cv. Check out the Capella here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1272300688
