Replaces Engi Ship A

3 weapons slots
3 drone slots

starts with ion blast, beam drone and system repair drone

doors start at 3, engines at 2, shields at 2


Some notes:

Havnt done a lot of play testing with this, but i think its fairly balanced.
Was intended to have 4 drone slots but dont think they game really likes that many slots. So it got bumped down to 3 and added a weapon slot.
was actually suppose to be a bigger ship, and perhaps actually look more like shortbread, but i started with a ship i was working with before and didnt realize how small it was till it was done...
all the rooms open to the outside, this was done on purpose.
i also intended for it to be able to hold more systems, but being so tiny it was out of the question.


hope you enjoy it, let me know if anything is wrong or anything i could change.

Thanks!

Added a Ship B

Equipped with a dual shot laser, a system repair drone, and a beam drone.

Sweet hull image. Pretty advanced shading going on there, looks really professional. Very nicely done.

I agree with Sleeper, the hull is great like your others. One thing I notice from the screenshot though is that the Ion Blast appears to be backwards.

I asked for more pirate ships and I received more pirate ships.
I am so happy :D

This one is interesting though, unlike the previous two ships, this one removes 1 of the iconic things in engi ships, a hole.

Thank you for the compliments.

Diet Water:
As far as the gun being backwards, I don't think that it is, but I wouldn't put it past me to do something like that. I'm not at my computer but I will check it later and if that is the case I'll update the file.

Yes I got ur message and wasn't sure if you wanted pirate ships in general or like rockman ships. I can't send pm yet tho so I just finished this one real quick because i already had it started. And yes the original idea was going to have a hole, or holes, but it didn't go as planned. Think of it as the part that fits in the hole of a typical engi ship... Like a donut hole...

yea, No worries you're only 2 posts away from being able to send a PM back.

I was meaning general pirate ships and I love it how you're making 1 of each race.
I do not know what you will do for the slug one though because you made your Mantis thin mint look like a slug ship.

Anyway, good job on the ships, not exactly like from the race they fit in but still plenty resemblance...

It's really cute! I love the use of pure standard room sizes :D

Can i suggest a second beam drone? Right now its kinda a bit to hard. The drone is really the only thing doing damage, something small like a beam laser that does 1 damage would be nice, make it so it starts unpowered requiring an upgrade. That way your not left with luck to get something to survive. Let me know what you think. Also what program did you use to make the ship, i was going to try and make one myself.

You know, you could do the opposite for a Layout B, with a laser weapon and an ion drone.
