you are free to modify any of my ships and add them to your fleets if you want

and the other ship when you have time https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2454522516

alrighty

Post them and I'll take a look!

would you like me to post them so you can take a look at them

i decided to mess about and i ended up building 2 destroyers 1 being a twin VLS with 1 advanced cannon and a heavy destroyer with 1 VLS and 2 advanced cannons

I don't have time to look at it tonight, but I just posted a small ww2-cold war style torpedo ship, I'd recommend trying to restyle the ship with some of the decorations and features to make it fit in with the other faction ships. I'm excited to see the changes you've made!

ive changed up the ship to mostly 4,3 and 2 meter blocks and added in 2 advanced cannons as the main weapon systems

If you look at the Beluga, that is an example already out of the WW2 style for the faction (ignoring the weaponry), the gauss or stal are probably good examples of modern missile ships for the faction also in the collection.

alrighty ill get ti the conversion later

Looking over your ship, I'd suggest replacing them with small 1m loader APS guns because you have quite a bit of extra space beneath them. For factions, I'm trying to stay away from repair bots also. My other main suggestion would be swapping over the 1m blocks to 4m beams. I'd recommend looking over the next ship I post for an example of a ww2 inspired faction ship (I'll send the link when it's posted)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2451462789 here is the link to my recently built ship

My ideas for substitutes would be either mimic covered base game simple weapons, small torpedo launchers, or actual small turrets to replace them. None of these are too easy to implement, but likely one or two would work.

Ok, depending on how the ships are built, there are a few substitutes you could make, most take up more space, but some are still pretty compact, if you upload the ship (with the modded parts removed) I could take a look at it.

im intrested?

I can't use mods for the faction, but there may be ways to replace the weaponry if you're interested

yesterday i managed to get in slightly modernised missile cruiser that uses a weapon mod

Sounds great! Feel free to reuse any decorations I've used on any of my ships (although probably the WW2 ships would be best) if you do decide to make something for the faction

although i am slowly smoothing my way into the modern timeline and above but it is taking me so long just to get to this stage so once i have better time management and skills i will send them to you if i get the chance

the ships are styled slightly with a ww2 look mixed in but they are more advanced than the modern timeline due to the fact that they have lasers batterys repair bots and other things mixed in so they arent completely ww2 style

@Cllmsteele If you're interested in submitting them to the faction, the time period is from WW2 onwards. I've built several WW2 style ships and have to admit that they're probably quite a bit more difficult then smooth modern ships.

im getting close to building designs almost as good as this even though their slightly ww2 styled

It looks beautiful, good job.

Extra slopes would be a problem as the campaign we'll probably be vanilla. If you're only using primarily the offsets, I could easily work around that and recreate them with mimics, but some of the large transitions are hard to recreate if not impossible. With a lot of time you could probably alter them, if they're posted I could also look over them later to see if they could be converted to vanilla.

I've got some crafts that were inspired by your designs, made to counter them or expand on your ideas, but they use Extra Slopes mod. I am guessing it's a big no-no for submissions?

I'm glad you're excited, I'm going to try getting it out soon, I still need to get some people to do testing for it and I need to create a few more structures, but I'm hoping I can get it out relatively soon.

I want to play this campaign so badly! Supernice as allways

It has pretty substantial defenses, but none are too strong. Against ships it may be, but it's meant to be countered by air vehicles so probably not (although I didn't do much testing against airships).

Is this thing a godly design? The amount of defenses this has sounds rather impressive for something this size.
