Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Genjator's Ships! I've been wanting to put together a collection of ships that I have been making in a game called StarMade. If you haven't heard of it, it's a block-building construction game very similar to Minecraft, but set in space. It's still in alpha, but I've found it to be a rather fun game. If you haven't played either game, I recommend you check them both out. StarMade is still in alpha, so if you try it, don't expect a full working game, but a fun one nonetheless.


Anyway. So, I've always been a big fan of space-based stuffs, especially space combat and ship design. I've watched Star Trek since I was a little kid, and have become a Stargate fan in recent years. I'll spare you further details on my likes and interests, but to sum up, StarMade provides a fun way to build ships and then test them in combat. It also includes elements of mining and exploring, with more being developed. There is a growing community surrounding the game, with hundreds of designs of ships of all different types.


I wanted to share what I've been working on in a place where they could all be found with ease. So, I welcome you, and invite you to take a look and enjoy.If you see something you like, let me know, feel free to try it. I upload my ship blueprints to starmadeblueprints.com, so feel free to stop by there and take a look. I'll provide links in each ship description to the upload. Be sure to check out the other shipwrights who upload their stuffs there!

Highland Rail Refit


Following the consolidation of several Terra-based ship construction companies, the Highland design was turned over to the former Whitney Defense Corporation, now renamed the HomeCrew Defense Alliance. The HDA reviewed the schematics, and decided to incorporate new advancements in rail technology. This led to redesign of several major systems:
- Shuttle docking was updated and a logic system was implemented to raise and lower the shuttle.
- Hangar doors were added for both shuttle and repair drone bays
- Dual repair drones were replaced with a single, larger, and more powerful version
- Side beam cannons were replaced with additional missile launchers (old beams were drawing far too much power for minimal effect)
- Halyx-class cannon entirely removed
- Zealot-class anti-fighter turrets replaced with twin-barreled Apollo-class light machine-gun turrets
- Extendable sensor pods on top of ship
- Rotating sensor dish added to top of ship
- Removed extraneous systems
- Increased Overdrive to give small performance boost

The Highland Rail Refit now offers more of a system exploration ship, returning the original purpose behind the design. While capable of holding its own against light attackers, captains of this ship should note that combat is not its primary role. Any engagement with ships of corvette-class or higher should be withdrawn from as soon as possible.

Constructive feedback is welcome!
