Whitney MK1 Orbital Defense Platform

Hello all!!

I give you the Whitney MK1 Orbital Defense Platform. Mobile with both thrusters (2.3mps) and jump drive, it can be moved into position wherever it is needed. Intended for light to medium defense operation, it is capable of holding off most fighters and light corvettes. Set with 4M shields and 25M energy, it can hold out long enough for reinforcements to arrive to push back larger offenses, or to retreat to a safer position. Complete with a spartan, though comfortable interior, and two repair shuttle provided by the Whitney Defense Corporation, the Whitney MK1 ODP is a great addition to any station or planet claim.

You can find it at the below link. I hope you all enjoy!!

USF Telithra Refit

Okay, after a long way, I give you the USF Telithra Refit. I'm proud of how this one came out, and it went through several revisions until I finally got it to where I wanted it to be. To those familiar with the original version, there are some immediate differences in armament, but a quick overview: wing cannons were removed and replaced with lock-on missiles on the sides (not pictured here). The main cannons were powered up with piercing effect. Multiple beam emitters were added to the front to allow for a quick-firing weapon. The main cannons were overhauled and made stronger. All the Anti-Fighter Turrets were replaced with a new, more powerful design. A single beam turret replaced the captain shuttle docking area, and the original bridge area was replaced with a scanner array. The small cannons were replaced with lock-on missile turrets. All the fighters were removed and replaced with a smaller number of upgraded variants, including 4 Gallin MK2's, 2 Trelin MK3's, and 2 Trelin MK4's. A combat alert logic system was added which activates internal flashing red lights and forcefields.

I hope you enjoy this version! The link for it is just below. Additionally, the second link is for another version the COBALT version, in which I added blue forcefields to the entire outside of the ship that active when the logic combat alert system is activated. It can be major system hog, to activate all those shields, but it produces a really cool look for the ship. Catch them below. If you have any suggestions, post them here or on the resources at the Star Made Dock. Thanks for enjoying!

Upcoming Post!!

Okay, so as a taste from what will be up in the next few days, I'll give you these pictures. It's not quite finished, I need to tweak the power on it some. And yeah, it's a massive CPU/RAM hog, so I'll have two versions of the ship, one with and one without. But for pictures, I give you the USF Telithra Refit with the Cobalt Defense System.

Telithra Refit Update

So, I decided after a long while, it was time to update some of my older designs and make them relevant again. I really liked some of my earlier work, and want to see it back in the public use. With that being said, progress has been slow due to my having moved and started school again. I managed to get in some work this week, and wanted to put up a few images to keep everyone interested. If anyone has any suggestions, drop me a comment. Hope you enjoy!

Cimitar Heavy Fighter

The Cimitar Heavy Fighter was designed in conjunction with the Lance Fighter by the Terrig Corporation. Meant to function in a support role, it was built for quick in-and-out runs against light to medium capital ships. The Cimitar trades rapid-fire missiles for homing capability, requiring it to move in close before launching a powerful barrage. The twin AMC mounts also allow for limited anti-fighter defense or shield damage. Due to power limitations, it is strongly recommended that Cimitars before short runs rather than prolonged firing streaks, as this will rapidly deplete the power reserves and leave the ship vulnerable.

Lance Fighter

Developed by the Terrig Corporation to support ongoing Terran Naval efforts in the war, the Lance Fighter was designed as a light escort and interceptor. Effective in swarms against similar sized targets, its rapid-firing beam weapons are able to quickly wear down shields and disable ship systems.

Delays

Hey all, sorry for the long delay with no updates. Life has that nasty way of taking over and taking away time, and I was needing a break from StarMade, needing time to recharge the creative juices. Your patience will hopefully be rewarded, as in the near future I will be posting up several ships that I've worked on over the last while, and hopefully soon I'll have a refit of one of my favorite and oldest ships, ready to take to the front lines.

Meanwhile, I'm sure you've seen it already, but in case you missed it, or just want to see it again, here's the link for the official trailer!

Thanks for everyone who's stopped in to see what I've been working on, and I hope to have more for you soon!
