the ships are not meant to be build by an AI ( that is .. in terms of designed ) - they are build by aliens. - so the way they look is not up to the AI ( which probably doesn t care much )
post #1 updated with a skinned cruiser. - the green lining is slightly ( well, actually pretty much ) low resolute ... but that will be hidden behind lightning effects - i simply had no higher resolute image of this part - and its not as bad as it looks. ( pixalation )
the cruiser is meant to maintain the green earie glow effect - especially from the inside, so i plan to attach a series of green strobes to the core reactor ( but then... ppl can change it to what they like.... bit of a bugger, but there you go )
edit: i brightened it up in photoshop - the actual skin is like 30% darker
edit2: for the laugh ... cause skinning is dead boring, i quickly made a "little drone helper" =)
thats just a joke ship though - its only a revision of a starflier with spiderarms and a fancy cockpit. - and come to that... no AI ship ( cause it has a cockpit - doh... realized that a little late )
The RP of the [SMA] is that the ships are the unit body. They then upload and connect to the unit processor. A lot of times they'll be carrying a couple of pieces of counterfeit software, to represent their operating systems and a couple of artifacts that represent the Da'am Kvash hardware and storage modules.
That's another reason why we made our deal with the Zoners to use some of their gunboats - they look a bit like what our ships already looked like.
The AI drone now looks like a ship with cockpit - which is how it should be. Same with the Cruiser. Some storage space would be nice.
Any thoughts on us getting a heavier cruiser? We now have access to civilian ships as well, of course. And as far as how our specific ships look - we're much more evolved and self aware, capable of holding discussions in the first person similar to Data did in Star Trek. We have a perception of our own self-awareness, so we can say "I" in conversation just as easily as "This unit".

It's... almost cute.
Could make a decent addition to the Utility line, too, along with the CSV and Repair Ship - this one for fine detail work. I know you said a joke, but I can see a use for it.
Even adds more variety in the cheap ships, for the people who are interested in that.
