I'm thinking this should be a flyable ship - admin approved.

Dude. I want to bomber-swarm that thing soo bad..

[Irra]

I think everyone wants it expect BHG:Dand some nomads:D... yeah I WANT IT!

this is cool signature

[atlantis2112]

I don't want the ship, I want someone else to have a floating target of that size so I can shoot it...:)

I'd make a BHG bomber just for that..

I suggest that whatever shape it is, it should have many docking points and many defense "towers" because of constant nomad attacks and threat (in RP). I think some spider-ish shape would be great. With central building/command and around like spider legs with defense turrets on it:D

I've got a basic design idea that i will be developing that includes a large battlestation about 3 times the length of an Osiris. The overall appearence would be of a giant "X" with a big square section in the middle and four small sections on each wing. It has a (opening and closing) docking bay for capital ships in the center, and a LOT of bays underneath for fighters. it has a square center part (1x1 osiris lenght), and four wings going out at the four corners of the main part (each adding an additional osiris lenght to the center part). Each wing has a small square defense platform at the end. I was thinking mabey four small pyramids on the end of each wing as sort of memorials. Armament wise, it would also have large cannons on the middle part and a battery of small cannons at the end of each wing. Also featured on the center part, would be a large command tower. This design can be changed in a lot of ways and makes for a pretty solid and effective design. ie: We could make it more like a ship, or we could leave it as more of a battlestation.

Preliminary sketches will be posted soon.


P.S. "I'm thinking this should be a flyable ship - admin approved." Dude that ship is the bomb and should be made in game for like a limited time, just to see it in space.

Jinx, putting aside your sarcasm, you managed to do a thing that I am looking for, although a bit "bigger" than what I had in mind. Something in the size of a Barge works well. I don't have to give service to 12 Osiris at the same time, this is not the Hilton Order Resort.

But if you drop the size of that thing by... ermm... half or a bit less, it can be a great thing to place in a cloud.

Congratulations. Your friendly teasing actually made into something I would love lol:)

And no, not a flyable one. That thing is like bigger than the distance in between Leeds and Omega3 JH in Cambridge lol

but a great one, yes.


Mives -> I am hoping to see your sketches as well mate.

Stop being obsessed by spaceships, please.

There are other parts of your environment, that need developing into greater depths. I mean environment, not lengthy character biographies that no-one in the world can have the time to read. Not guns, not ships, either. There's more in space than that.

Thank you for the input, any design ideas yet?
