Aeon Mothership Huge hull, 21h build time. 440 parts I wasnt planning on doing this one until last, but I had a good idea and had to do it. Im getting better at doing these builds, so they take less time, but this one was alot more complex than the Colossus. Also note, I wanted to deck out the flightdecks with fighters, but at the point of finishing the build the fps in the designer was so low I didnt even attempt it.
Exodus Class Battleship Large hull, ca 12h build time Full album Forgive the pictures taken in the designer. It is unfortunately the only way to show the turrets without them bugging out. A bug messes up the size of composite parts when you use mirroring, and I rather them fixing the bug than waste time and effort manually placing the guns one by one to avoid the bug. <img src="http://i.imgur.com/Zvshhrv.jp
[quote who="adamb1011" reply="1401" id="3587427"] I really like your terran style ships, but with the iconian stuff you've taken it to the next level in terms of craftsmanship, originality and style. So upload soon please [e digicons]:)[/e] Also, Altarian and Yor next plz! [/quote] Wow, high praise indeed! :) Ok I will try it this time then, both ships are now in the workshop. Have fun checking them out! And yes, I think Altarian will be nex
[quote who="adamb1011" reply="1399" id="3587369"] That is really amazing. When will you upload both designs? [/quote] Thanks! :) Well.. my plan was the same as with my human fleet and release it when Im done with the full set. Maybe I will upload the ships as I finish them, considering it will take a fair bit of time to finish them all, they are quite time consuming to build, and I have 7 ships to go I think. I just find it more fun if it's released as a full set.
Alright, my first ship in my new series. This time it's the Iconians getting a makeover. My idea for them is elegant, advanced ships with a mix of organic and mechanical.

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="1362" id="3572681"] Gizmo, I hope you upload your ships to Steam Workshop. I would love to have all of them in my design file. They are absolutely great! [/quote] Thanks! They are indeed on workshop now, just search for the ship names!
[quote who="Neilo" reply="1337" id="3570507"] This^ Is, without a doubt the most impressive display of shipbuilding i have seen in the 9 years i have been associated with the GC franchise. Well bloody done sir, well bloody done. Mind uploading the file for me to check out? +1 [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] Wow, high praise indeed! The hardest part was that I didnt want to make it symmetrical, so I couldnt use axis mirroring except for the front. Sure,
Colossus Class Super Carrier Finally done with this, 20+ hours and 700 parts later. My final ship for the humans I think, it's as complex and detailed as I can probably make for them. Full album <img src="http://i.imgur.com/qBJ4RQf.jpg" alt="" width="600" heig
Oracle Sensor Frigate I updated my design for the Oracle, like I did with the Europa destroyer. Full album <img src="http://i.imgur.com/Ct1cnpo.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="337
[quote who="Volundz" reply="1315" id="3568108"] I've made a bunch of arthropod ship designs, including ticks, dragonflys, wasps, mosquitos, assassin flys. But, my favorite by far is the scorpion ship. It still needs a couple of minor tweaks.[/quote] Ahahaha, that is glorious!
[quote who="Iorvar" reply="1312" id="3567347"] Are you making these Ships from Scratch or are you using some Referance Material ? Because thats quite some nice Detailwork and Imagination if made from Scratch. [/quote] Thanks! They are all made from scratch. I start out with a basic concept or idea of what I want the ship to look like, then build from there. Sometimes the parts dont allow me to do what I want, sometimes I improvise and it turns out different but great anyway.
Ajax Cruiser Album I went back to my first design, the Europa Destroyer, and gave it a cosmetic makeover based on all I had learned with the other ships. Changed it to a cruiser to better reflect its actual in-game size. Looks.. alot better I think
I made a "Making of" for my Victory carrier, if anyone is interested in seeing how I made it or want to make something similar. Album Total build time runs at about 12 hours each for the Hyperion, Kirov and Victory. I only use the race-specific parts, partly to keep the designs consistant and partly to not get overwhelmed by all different
