Here it is the final ship of the Lance Fleet. The big brother of the Lance of Longinus and Javelin. The Halberd A.K.A. Hydra (3-headed dragon)

Posted Image

I didn't bother with arming it because the glow effect takes up a lot of the VRAM cause theres so many pieces. So it's just there for looks for now, until I can see what I can do with it. Thinking about taking out the middle of the back end and making it curve inwards.

Tell me what you guys think. Thanks.

This time I tryed some new techniques, big kudos to the fleet of Aralonia that was a big source of inspiration. So far I got 2 ships, both I like very much so far.

I'm gonna try to keep this thread updated with the latest ships and updates. Suggestions are also welcome.

Fleet information and records

Posted Image

First up the ''Rogue'' class destroyer. This nifty little ship is gonna be the main workhorse of the United Alliance Navy. High command has ordered the production of 50 more rogues. These ships are armed with heavy laser batteries and missilepods, when used in rapid succession these weapons can diss out enormous amounts of damage.

Armament:

8x Heavy Laser Battery ''Helios''
10x Missile Pod ''Guardian
6x AAA Flak Platform ''Nimbus''
-------------------

Posted Image

Next is the ''Normandy'' class Dreadnought. These ships are the biggest, strongest and most advanced platforms the United Alliance Navy has to offer. Thick armor plating, heavy weaponry and deadly accurate point defense systems make this ship a force to be reckoned with. Capable of standing ground against incoming fleets is not a difficult job for this Juggernaut, capable of piercing even the thickest of armors.

Armament:

4x Laser Gattling ''Hellfire''
14x Super Heavy Laser Battery ''Phoenix''
2x Shield Projectors ''Quasar''
8x AAA Flak Platform ''Nimbus''
12x Fighter Hangar
2x Engineering Bays
14x Missile Pod ''Tomahawk''
-------------------

Posted Image

This is the ''Goblin'' class AF Boat. The AF stands for Anti Fighter, this ship is used as a support craft for destroyers and dreadnoughts to keep fighters away from vunerable areas of the ships. The ships has the most advanced anti fighter weaponry known to the UAN and is the most efficient ship in dealing with fighters.

Armament:

2x Guided Missile Pod ''Harpoon''
2x AA Laser Pod ''Eliminator''
2x AAA Flak Platform ''Nimbus''
-----------------

Posted Image

The ''Skyfire'' class interceptor is the main fighter/attacker/bomber of the United Alliance Navy. It has a long and good service record as it is used for several years now. This ship is used to combat vital areas on large ships. Its speed and manueverability make sure no weaponsfire hit it.

Armament:

2x Laser Battery ''Hailstorm''
1x Pulse Gun ''Sunshine''
2x AAA Cannon ''Shielder''

Nice Kenny, I like 'em.

Now to introduce the United Terran Federation. They are not done, but I'm working on them and they are turning out great.

When the United Terran Federation wants to make a warship, ever rarely do they fail. This is an example of that. For it's size, this destroyer packs great firepower. So much so that it needs special stabilizers to keep it from pushing itself away with every shot.
---
Posted Image

A newer model of the old scout, this small vessel is more combat capable then it's Geisepi counterpart, but is slightly more sluggish.
---
Posted Image

The J-12 is a formidable battleship that can bring to bear firepower that dwarves even the Geisepi Thor. There are feared ships and Admirals always make sure to have a few.
---
Posted Image

The UTF finds the Geisepi's lack of a purebred carrier stange, if not foolish. That is the sole porpose of existing for the K-21. it doesn't take many of them to start a swarm.

Neat ships mate:D

MORE!!!:

Here we have the Elizabeth class Cruiser. This ships main role is to pound enemy point-defenses so the other ships can do there work more efficiently. Though its role is support you shouldnt underestimate its offence capabilities. Projectile that do get trought the defense of the enemy ship deal do heavy damage, not enough to obliberate it, but enough to seriously weaken it. Like most other ship it cant survive swarms of fighters since it doesnt have a high-end targeting computer. Its usually seen escorting destroyers, dreadnoughts or a combination of those 2.

Armament:

10x MFP Cannon ''Penetrator''
2x Nuclear Torpedo Launcher ''Mark V''
12x Fighterbay
2x Turbolaser ''Obliberator''
8x AAA Flakplatform ''Nimbus''
-------------------

Posted Image

This here is the ''Argayon'' class Heavy Cruiser. Even though its still experimental, the hull is completed. Weapons still need to be decided upon although Point Defense Systems are already in place. The Argayon will mostly likely take the function as a mini-dreadnought. Its most likely to completely take over smaller tasks of the Normandy since its cheaper to produce, easier to maintain and faster manufactured. Although it cant outdo the Normandy in firepower it can outdo it in manueverability. Its hull has been based upon the Elizabeth Light-Cruiser.

Top notch ships Kenny, i envy your skill.
Posted Image
"Frank" as this ship is referred to by her crew is based off the basic hull design techniques of the Indy. It packs quite a punch if you let it unleash a broadside on you. It also makes use of experimental drone technology, using four deflector drones to supplement it's six on-ship ones, these drones however, are extremely heavy, and in order to keep up with the ship had to be stripped of nearly all armor, making them easily destroyed by even the smallest of weapons.

Also, here's a pic of a pair of indy's and 3 franke's surrounding an ion cannon.

The United Terran Federation built the L -13 as a corvette or light frigate, and they accomplished their mission. It throws considerable firepower to the fore and is fast enough to avoid encounters with stronger vessels such as the Geisepi Segetsia series.
---
Posted Image

Literally the big brother of the L- 13, the L- 17 "Manhunter" is a stalwart cruiser that provides fire support to UTF naval forces.
---
Posted Image

Sometimes call the "old man" because if it's modular design that was famous when humans first took to space out of Sol. This is an updated version of the old frigate. The modular construction makes it hard to disarm it easily and it is quite a nice broadsider.
---
Posted Image

The P- 14 patrol boat is also a destroyer for the UTF. For their miniscule size they are quite powerful, especially with their Gulon Bolters.

ahhh, people are making bigger and bigger ships.
It's insane.

and the way she named one of her ships after a weapon from GoW (awww)

I do believe I stand in good company when I say that Lizzie's newest ship is her best design yet. I know it's her nastiest (until SB 3.0 comes out).

The heart and pride of the United Terran Federation navy. The J-75 dwarfs most ships in any navy. It was built as a counter to the Geisepi Empire's Tempestia. So far, they have not engaged each other in combat.

WOw, this is a really fun game for a 11-12mb downloadable game that's 2D. Now if only I could get good at making my own ships.

Anyways.. what are your favorite weapons everybody?

The big one has Way too many Nano Matrixs tbh.

@ Eddy: Blasters and Partical guns mostly. Pulse guns are okay to, and so are beamers.

This is a completely uber flanker I made a while back.

It is too uber to use in serious combat, but I liked the empty hull.

No time for pictures.

Okay, I've noticed something, it's bugged me for a while but I've let it go, now that I'm in a bitter enough mood to not care, I'll post it.


I've noticed that practically every time I post like even seven ships that at least attempt to be balanced, I get completely ignored, while someone like Lizzy or Kenny puts ONE wankship up, they get a page or more. I think I've received, probably 3 comments so far. I probably won't bother with the rest as I'll get ignored, AGAIN. I might as well delete the game as one whole point I got it was to hear criticism on my ships.

I posted 2 ships that approach being uber, both times not a SINGLE comment. What do I need to do to get someone to notice I exist?

@Areze: I know how you feel. I made a whole FLEET in not much more than two days, posted several images and barely got any response, here and on the official forums. (True, they might be able to rip basically any canon ship to shreds, but I'm planning to give them their own balance against each other, when all three fleets are complete.)

I know the feeling. I won't even update the thread on the official forums. I posted an update and it was dead in two weeks. Bah.

Also, is it me, or do only the "in crowd" people get comments? That is what pisses the most. It's only the same 2-3 people that ever get anything.

No. It's basically Kenny and Lizzie, even on the official forums; Lizzie's War Clockworks are an impromptu standard of überships, people call their überships "the next WCW beater", and with all due respect to Kenny and Lizzie, for they are good shipmakers, it's getting on my nerves as well.

Ships are, apparently, either in the extremely popular "WCW beater" category, or the less popular but still stubbornly existing "balanced with canon" category, with a few "eyecandy" ships, and it seems like that's everything people are interested in.

In my thread over at the official forums, I have had ONE comment about ONE ship, possibly coming from someone who didn't even download it (or at least hadn't downloaded it before making his/her comment), ONE commend on the number of ships, and THREE comments about the download, and that's it. I posted a teaser pic, and a list of info, just to try and keep it alive, but nobody has responded so far, and it died in two DAYS.
