Thanks for the positive comments lads & ladies. The cool thing about the ship designer is that it doesn't really take all that long to physically put together a nice looking design. That ship there probably has about 20 or 30 components at most. Probably less. BTW a good tip for making streamlined ships is to hide ugly components inside the hull. I nearly always tuck the uglier engines, shields, etc away from sight. And remember to add detail, like command bridges, and antenae.

Does that interface stuff at the top also look a bot different?


Sorry yes, but only because of a bit of photochopping.

Actually, I was initially thinking it resembled something from the warhammer 40,000 universe

Hmm...

I will never dedicate too much time to ship designing (my beefed transport ship is just a frame with some engines and freezer modules stuck somewhere) , but I do love some of the designs that I've seen around.

Then - will be be able to have some "cool" predefined designs?
Will these ones be considered as mods or will there be some library within the shipyard?

Btw - we could have to pay extra cost to hire a designer - I have 6000 BC in my current game that I would love to spend to get a trendy space architect working for me!!!

Awesome ship. Looks like a continuation of the WWII Battleship designs.

Myself, I prefer ships that are a little less orthodox in that manner. I can't wait to own it myself...^_^
