Made a second large design that fits the new look better than my original large hull design. I uploaded it to the steam workshop.

"Nice stargate Gauntlet! (by the way, you used the translucent sphere from the Tywom set to create that distorsion effect, right?)"

No... it's one of the weird spheres in the generic bits or whathave you...

I really like that design, though I think the turrets could be a bit bigger... at least the main two. It is definitely a interesting profile and I love the engines.

Ok, this one was a tough customer. I had to bang my head on the desk for a couple days before finding a good design, then I spent half the week fighting with non-optimal proportions, but in the end I managed to complete the project.

So without further delays, I show you the Huge Hull for my new set. The design is a sort of evolution of the one used in the Medium tier, this time the separation between main and secondary decks is more visible.

Now I just need to make some final adjustments and everything will be ready.

My shipyard is working on a new shipset, but this time the story is a bit different.

This time the theme is "Retractable Equipment" (turrets and other stuff are normally kept inside the hull, ready to pop out when needed). However the peculiarity of this new set is the designing process itself: usually I choose a standard set and use mainly parts from it to create my designs from Tiny hull onward, but this time I chose the Arcean set and the process went a bit off tracks. Those parts are so weird shaped that it's hard to use them, so actually I used very few of them and mainly as decorations. Their weirdness also made difficult to me to figure out good designs for the Tiny hulls, so I decided to start directly with the Small hulls then go back when I'll find good idea.

So, without further delays, here comes the Small Balance unit (as you can see, it has 3 turrets in the upper deck and torpedo launcher in the front of the lower deck).

Let's keep going with the new set by introducing the Medium hull.

From this hull onward, you will notice I introduced another peculiarity of this set: the ships will be taller and narrower than my previous designs.

But it's not over yet. While the main shipyard was working on this, I locked up in a room with minimal food a bunch of engineers, ordering them to work 24/7 to create designs for the Tiny Hull. This plan worked, as they started by showing me this little fella I'm going to use as Balance unit.

You mean why people don't make ship designs with a basic spherical form (like the Slyne ships)? I think it's the current sci-fi paradigm, born when we shifted from the flying saucers and the rockets of the '50 to the more elongated and squared forms of the '80.

By the way, my squad of slav... ehm, engineers came up with a new Tiny, this time it's the Missile unit (ironically, so far the Tiny hull is the one that use lots of Arcean parts, both for structure and decoration).

My shipyard keeps working and now it's time for the Large Hull (the peculiar placement makes hard to spot the turrets in the pictures).

And now, for the Tiny Hull, let me introduce you the Beam unit.

Last batch of pictures for my new shipset. Of course, it's time for the Huge hull.

It may seem that this model is underpowered, since it has only 12 turrets like the Large hull (although they're all heavy type). However, its main strenght is a super weapon installed in the bow. For Balance and Beam units is a huge hyper beam cannon.

The Kinetic unit has a huge hyper railgun

The Missile unit doesn't have a special weapon, so it compensate quality with quantity by having more turrets placements than the other models

Finally, last but not least, we have the Tiny Kinetic unit.

So, let me know what you think of this set. See you next time!

This new design is something different.

Actually I'm not working on new shipsets, just tinkering around with some ideas. So, after studying several pictures of similar units from Steam Workshop (btw, a big "thanks" to Steam user Gato00 for providing me plenty of material), I've decided to try creating my own mecha-style units.

I've chose to go on a more "Mobile Armor" oriented approach (so thrusters in place of legs and generally weapons installed in the unit's structure rather than hand-carried) and came up with this very rough prototype (a Tiny unit). So I have a question for you: do you think I should push forward and improve my designing skill with this type of unit or should I remain on a more traditional type of ships?
