The Shipyard

[R4V3-0N]

Just made a template for bomb launchers. as I was going to make a bomb I realised they are not very workable as vanilla so I just made one that has nothing in it. I am sure some others did this as well but I do not think anyone uploaded it.

Anyway this is the basic bomb launcher template, enjoy!

I've played way too much Sid Meier's Starships...

I took a picture of a basic Purity starship...



And then tried to recreate it using FTL parts... (mostly the Fed A)



It's... I dunno where I was going with this... but if anyone has a better idea on what to make of it, you're welcome. I can't recolour things for the life on me on GIMP. Or work with shading.

I might try and work with that, styles. Do you have any more screenshots of your reference starship?

Any other angles you need?

I ended up making something completely different. Oooooops!



I'm probably gonna rip the cockpit section from your ship, but aside from that, I accidentally a completely different ship. The shape is sort of similar though (???)

[stylesrj]

There's a cockpit section? To me, I think the front is some sort of fighter bay (actually it's armour and it expands as you put more levels into it. The fighter bay is actually that little red thing behind the sideways vent things...)

But yeah while that looks completely different, it looks like it might turn out awesome.

By "cockpit section" I mean the Stealth B cockpit, which you flipped and merged with the original. I think for the Purity, it represents a gun turret. But I'm just gonna use it as a cockpit/command module.


I guess I'll use it like this or something. (Ignore the grey on the rest of the ship; that's just for me to figure out which sections are on top of which sections/shading stuff.)

[stylesrj]

Yeah that thing at the top is the plasma cannon. I tried to recreate that using two Stealth B cockpits... I thought that was much better than using a Stealth B cockpit and one of the thruster gibs, rotated to be a bit straighter.

Someone more talented (and less lazy) than I am could probably use those orbs in the upper left as the charging animation of some weapon.
