Thanks Thelos! ;)

Amazig!
I did remake the interior with some mods to get some living space, but the hull is perfect for a small large ship!

Thank you Crypto! And don't worry, it took a lot of time and practice until I finally built some ships I was really happy with. ;)

Love the design! I wish I was that good at building!

Nice ships! And yeah, they do look pretty similar. The Aquila wasn't influenced by your designs though, if you're hinting at that ;)

In fact, Panurga did a spotlight on it over a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXCOgXJ8qPk

I made a lot of them, in fact: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=356687571

Man, this sure looks familiar: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=356648042

Thats what he says of my original design :P

Thanks, guys ;) @gunsaremagic Yes, we're aware of that. It's because of the landing gears' placement, so we can't do anything about that except moving them 1 block to the back, but that would look pretty shit ;) Thanks for bringing it to our attention nontheless!

Simple and elegant. I like it. Keep up the good work!

And welcome to the Phoenix Universe

there is a hole in your ship if u didnt notice ship looks awsome btw

worlds bes exploreation ship!!!!!!

Thanks XXGrind ;)

absolutely beautiful

Oh don't worry, I definetely get why the landing gear is there, I just hate how bulky and obtrusive they are in this game. You certainly wouldn't want any Sabiroids popping up inside of this ship when it's landed on an alien world without landing gear! XD I'll be waiting earnestly for that battle carrier.

@zakiducky Thank you very much , I also really appreciate the tips ;) I'm not a huge fan of the landing gear either and usually use mag locks on my other ships, but Skeeter and I wanted to keep this one clean of mods :P Removing the landing gear altogether would certainly look better, but because of the Aquila's light armor you have to be really careful when landing and given that it's supposed to be used mainly for reconnaisance missions on hostile planets you really don't want that ;) Also it allows it to land on stations and larger ships without needing to dock. As for the carrier idea: Another member of ASY, Stonley, is currently working on a "light" Battlecarrier with space for only a few fighters, but we will definitely build a larger all out Carrier in the future instead of that Carrier/Battleship hybrid, and installing a few larger hangars for 2 or 4 Aquilas would be an awesome idea, so thanks for that ;)

@Atheris Hehe, thanks, can't say your name is too bad either :P

haha.. I like the naming scheme you got there.

(2/2)

It's very nice, and I love the bright and bold color pattern. My only other problem is I as a matter of personal opinion find protruding landing gears unsightly. I know there's not much one can do about that, since they don't retract on their own (and adding rotors or pistons converts them into volatile WMDs). But maybe you can try a version w/o those landing gears and some sort of landing skids instead? Or just better integrate the landing gear into the design. I know its hard given the ship's size and how landing gear work, so I'm not actually expecting there to be some easy or obvious solution- I'm just throwing ideas and opinions out there. I just hate how landing gear are so big, take up so much space and protrude so much- it can really interfere with the design of a ship in general, unless that ship is huge in comparison to the landing gear.

Beautiful ship! I'd love to see a version that uses atmospheric and ion thrusters, too. I also wish you gave a shot looking into the interior. The small size has me imagining a larger carrier ship that holds a bunch of these inside from the underbelly and releases them down towards a planet. Almost like how the UNSC Infinity from Halo carries 10 frigates in the underbelly frigate bay. Maybe you could make such a (super) carrier ship that holds these underneath, along with other fighter craft in other hangar bays? And by that, I mean I want to see you make a carrier for transporting a bunch of these scouts and other craft around long distance. XD LOL (1/2)

I'm sure there are better ones out there, but thanks colinist! ;)

Thanks Blazer ;)

Very cool and beautiful design, i will test later and maybe build it through the projector in my world. =D
