Title: What ship should I build next?
Post by: FlessenGreendart on September 08, 2014, 05:58:37 AM
I've got some ideas of what craft I would like to add into the game, I've already created the Millenium Falcon, I'm working on the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) at the moment, and I have ideas for things like the Normandy SR1, some ships from the Stargate series, as well as others.
I even have ideas for craft of my own, but what would you guys like to see next?

Oh there is so many great ships...

But for now why SR1? SR2 looks better, I think and it is more powerfull(best frigate in ME universe) ;)

Why not both?
I only say the SR1 as I plan to build that one first, and that'll make a good basis for the SR2

Serenity would actually be awesome and fill a niche slot I'd like, so I'd vote for that.  But I'm biased. :)

Y'know what, I really like its quirky shape, but that's gonna take some doing to get right!

How about Hyperion?

Oooooh, yes.

I second this notion, I'd love to see this thing added.

Looks big!

So far we have a tie between Hyperion and the Serenity

Wow, that's double the Enterprise!

There is some people extracting models from SC2, so, I think, it will be not so hard to make Hyperion, or other SC ships ;) But I may be wrong.

True, but I'd consider it cheating if I just re-applied an existing model... I like to give things my own twist :)

You can just add the Death Star and call it a day :)

If we're borrowing from established sci-fi or games... can I have a Bengal carrier from Wing Commander to use as my endgame carrier-style ship?

TCS Tiger's Claw for the win.

Ah, the space runway :) Definitely easier to build than the Serenity!

I'd love to have one of these:

Small, fast, but fragile and fixed weaponry.

Sorry for getting back to you so late..

I've already put a fair amount of thought into adding one man small fighters, and I think it would add an interesting element. Not just as a player vessel, but imagine coming across about 5 or so pirates in these, darting around you and giving you hell.

I'll definitely consider adding the Perseus, but first, I need to test the small fighter concept, and see how well it works.

Awesome!  Yeah, I agree the small fighters would be a blast to both fly and fly against.  Wonder if the fighters could get some kind of "afterburner" instead of the warp.

It seems unlikely, but I think warp works for fighters too. I think with fighters, warp should be shorter, but recharges faster.

Testing out you should be able to do on an existing model though, yeah?  Just drop the scale and hitbox a fair bit and give it more maneuverability traits.

Though for me, personally, playing them may not really ever be an issue until the alternate control scheme is put in and we see how it works.  As it is, frigates can get a little rough for me to control once you have some good skills.  I oversteer them like whoa. >.>

Post by: FlessenGreendart on September 18, 2014, 01:33:06 AM
Yeah, that's exactly what I've done. Currently have a micro-banshee whizzing around  ;D

As you said, high skill levels means you're turning like a madman! Might be worth having a few levels of fighter, where the higher levels are closer to the  frigates in terms of manoeuvrability... or something.

I'll play some more and see what I can get
