The ship designer is out now in the the alpha 2.0 patch, so when have a that ship designed feel free to post it here and so others can see what kind of cool things you can build with it.
My latest ship, a missile toten, big gun patrol boat
Rand...loving what you are doing!! Those are great looking. Hopefully you will put these up for us non building types to use!!
Who me??? Of course I plan to share my ships. Its just the "trek" thing to do.
Thanks Rand!! Cant wait. Back with GC II I had my game modded with all the ST ships out there, plus the sounds for the different weapons! Was simply awesome!! Your ships are absolutely fantastic! If only the Chandley class frigate could be made, my nerd dreams would come true. Its a ship from the FASA game that was out a long time ago...prolly not any pics of it anymore anywhere. Great JOB!!
Is there any way to incorporate a shipbuilder outside of the game. I would love to design ships and then save them for incorporation into the game later on. Just love the idea of the ship builder but could spend a ton of time just designing ships.
Wanna see a battle?
Battle viewer is still in beta I understand and I know they're going to make big changes to it, but there is vast room for improvement. My ships don't seem to assume any particular formation and start on a flat 2D plane, in a disorganized rabble. I'd like to see 3D formations, instead of just individual starship duals and ganking. I can't assign specific ships behaviors anylonger, they just assume the behavior most appropriate to their class now. And the fighters don't behave anything like fighters, you can equip them with deathrays should you choose and they don't move much like a fighter nor do they seem to have any bonusses to evasion from what I've seen. Carriers don't currently deploy fighters in an impressive way, simply creating a screen of them when battle begins, and you can't currently customize the fighter design they use. Also the missile sprites aren't that good.
I am of course going to mod the game and make logisitcal caps much much higher because I love huge battles. But I'd like them to at least deploy in 3D space and work as a cohesive unit in the next beta, perhaps allow fine tuning of their behaviors so I can capitalize on my ship's superior battle speed. and range.
These might sound like harsh observations but I do understand this is beta and not the full version. I love watching the death rays, it's quite beautiful as you can see.
PM me your email addy, I got a ship pack ready to go.

Some highlights of my Terrans!
Surveryor/Utility Destroyer, notice the fighter floating with it, and one on a repair bay with mechanic arm and drone working on it.
Again, repair arms and repair drones moving around this mining cargo ship.
A medium hull designed as three flying ships together.
My covert-ops probe, disguised as/within a small asteroid cluster.
A nasty Battleship

Gauntlet03 nice ships, I really like the miner NICE!!
my newest ship, a medium sized cruiser.
So many new ships, so little time to check them out.
trumpeter87,
Like your dreadnought and corvette.
Edladner,
Impressive cruiser.
Gauntlet03,
Cool mining cargo ship.
Overgunned(Large kinetic ship)
Make sure you have a bigger gun than the other guy. And have lots and lots of them. Hearing protection not included!
The link.
The template design files.
Note: the design files are for a template with a short ship name!
The screenshots.
As can be seen in the screenshots i have implemented the ship as a ship class. This so that the auto designer automatically updates the installed active components when the required techs become available.
Thecw that is one cool ship
Nice ship the CW! I like the barrel placements on the middle/sides and the angling.
Here is my 2nd set of ships, used the Kryseth.

Medium Destroyer
Large Carrier with Fighters
Large Battleship

Group shot
Very nice, especially the gun boat and the destroyer. And your small defense station is cute.
Yes, that's me: working all the angles while staying in the middle and choosing no side over another .
Here's a constructor! Video of animation (which I don't do often, but it was fun):
Love the guy!
I would recommend making him "float" by animating his entire body to go up and down slowly, just a little bit. I find once I animate enough items, the whole thing just needs to move lol..
latest ship thks to Omnibus for the hull.
