[quote who="Edladner" reply="600" id="3507666"] Thecw gotta love rock munchers [/quote] The bulk of the created ships are of the combat variety. Personally i like the non-combat kind, and they lend themselves far better to the application of animation. Also there are so few of them around, so their uniqueness makes them so much more memorable. If only the designer would have a set of basic geometric shapes, and the ability to distort parts, then i really co
With all these Terran combat ships gather here, the Terrans deserve another civilian ship: The Terran Rock Collector . (Medium mining vessel, waiting for the mining module). Medium size mining vessel. For maximum efficiency it is equipped with two cutting laser turrets and a laser armed arm. The grappling arm completes the collection system. Getting the hang of complex animations. Twenty in this design (count them). I know there is a

The scout that came too late (for the contest). The Altarian Scavenger . (Early small fast long range superior scout and survey ship) Always on the lookout for opportunities.

And here is The Drengin Shredder. A medium mining vessel. Cannon armed to pulverise asteroids and space debris. Also work quite well at taking other things apart for their resources. Of course it has sufficient defenses in case those things shoot back. When we are going to have asteroid mining capabilities this bad boy is the one to do it.

[quote who="Edladner" reply="13" id="3506563"] gotcha, gotta buy core ships at that point [/quote] Yep. If only ship templating would work properly. Might as well wish for design parameterisation or type placement*. Design parameterisation. The ability to specify the balance between the various (up-gradable) equipment classes. Example 10% engine, 20% shielding, 5% sensors, 5% life support, 50% beam weapons, 10% armour and the rest 0%. <p

[quote who="Edladner" reply="11" id="3506517"] Thecw ok, I would not design ships myself that require those kind of events to transpire to activate them. I know what I need to build to get my ships released as I need them. That would be too iffy to count on.

I was not going to waste time and effort to bring Drengi upto scratch in the end phase of the game, so i simply used what was there already to get any use out of it.

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="12" id="3506408"] from what i understood the ai will not change intelligence levels and will be playing its best at all times and the only change the levels will have is the amount of resources available at average level it will get the same resources as a human, below average will get 90% or something like that, and above average will get 110% [/quote] The bonuses the AI get are way more than this.

Edladner , as requested in the pm: I conquered Drengi and built the Hyperion improvements there, because they had some military buildings already there. The screenshot: Shrinker gives 10% plus 30% from adjacency bonuses.

While i am not opposed to the general (optional) idea, i would probably close to never use it. I can see the value for hard-core-role-playing would-be-emperors. If implemented i might even try it just for fun sake.

The Hyperion Shrinker does work. But it works on empire level not on planetary level. It raises the Mass Cap of your ships by 10%, and every military adjacent building increases this bonus by another 5%. In the following screenshots i will show the Terran Titan as buildable with a hyperion shrinker in the empire (with adjacent military buildings) and the same ship design after i destroyed the shrinker. To see the changes you have to actually enter into design mode of a
