So I was gone for a long time, and now I'm back. Now with 100% more good designs. (Some of those old designs still give me nightmares.)

=======================================================================================================================================================================================
THIRD GEN SHIPS-More coming soon!
=======================================================================================================================================================================================

Project Duplicate
Spoiler:
This spacecraft is a nearly insurmountable achievement of technological prowess- (But still ugly) It is a mobile shipyard! This ship class can create light pinnaces, fighters, and miners in its small bay, or while in orbit of something, create modular parts to form frigates and corvettes. It begins its mission by lingering in the asteroid field/oort cloud of its home system, mining and collecting other misc. resources. It will eventually leave when it has a small fleet of 2 miners, 4 fighters, and 2 pinnaces. Then, it will jump from system to system, releasing small fleets to colonize worlds/create stations, which will build more Duplicate-Class ships. The process will then continue.

Thanks for checking out my ships! :)

ENDNOTES

All of my ships are for sale, if you want to purchase the world save of one, PM me and I will email you the world save it's on. However, if you wish to do so, you must give me one of your designs that is comparable to the one you wish to get from me.

Planned ships: Project Replicate (Project Duplicate's eventual sucessor), Salvation-Class Tanker, and, as always, a secret ship or three.

Welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay, no pets allowed.

I don't think drop-pods count towards your navy's ship-count. Or fighters.

Out of curiosity, how big to you plan to make these ships?

Hey, you could join the RP.
New members are always welcome.
Don´t forget to follow the rules tough, or you will be in trouble.
We don´t like it when people are too lazy to read the manual.

Uh... a fighter named PHALANX?!? AWESOME!! Anyways, thanks for all the things saying "hi" and all that. To answer your question, the fighters will be something like 35 blocks cubed, the bombers around 45, corvettes will be around 65, and the frigate will be something like 500 blocks cubed. Again, thanks. Also, in case you are wondering, the name "phalanx" comes from playing as the macedonians in rome total war (the best RTS ever) one too many times- who dosent love it when cataphracts impale themselves on 20 foot long spears- Death to the selucids!!!!

Also, The spaceships are gonna be bigger than expected- Umm, the frigate will be 100 blocks LONG, about, the corvettes will be around 30, bombers around 20, and I'm not sure how big the star bases will be. Anyways, I will keep posting on development status.

Okay, ya'll. Here's an update on the frigate. It is being fitted to carry 6 type A drones, 2 medevac escape pods, and 6 type A single seat escape pods. The escape pods and the standard fighter are completed, by the way.

Hello and welcome, one of the major problems i had with my ships, is that I could not get a good size system in place, it really comes down to how fast you can build a ship, and i know this is a little of topic but.

Are you a brony?

Also it would be great if you could join the RP in the roleplay forum, I think it's called something like Fenways's Super Official RP Thread or something like that, as of now you might want to wait until the titanic battle is over. ok i'm going to stop with the offtopicness, but welcome to the forum.

If you really have to use that (which I really hope you don't, but who knows), it is a contraction of 'you all', not 'ya will'. The correct (if such a word can be applied in this situation) form is y'all.
