Just Some Random Ships

[Artasid]

I got bored and made some random Light Carriers. I didn't know where else to put them and I have a feeling I might be making some more random vessels for IO so hence this thread. Feel free to add your own creations if you wish.


BLUE: 1Kd6 Frame Catapult, Point Defense Turret, Freight Engines
WHITE: 1Kd6 Frame Catapult, Point Defense Turret, Freight Engines

Hope you all enjoyed and I eagerly await any and all comments you wish to share.
And if you wish to add your own random ship builds here, please feel free to do so.

Those look very good! Simple, clean and to the point!

Kinda like a more angular counterpart to Hyve's Nimbuses, might build something along these lines!

[Artasid]

Based off HyveMynd's ORT Noctilucent HVA, and inspired by VitorFarias Delegator Cruiser, I decided to try my hand at this ship design, which I call Checkers (For obvious reasons)


Checkers Heavy Cruiser: Dual Assault Range Torpedo Tubes, Comms Antenna, Range Finder Array

This design was a bit of a challenge as I tried to get the dimensions right, plus I had limited parts in the right color, but I am well pleased how it turned out.
I'd like to thank HyveMynd for sharing the design, and I'd like to thank VitorFaria for the inspiration to try this build. I know it seems like I'm copying someone elses work, but I try to add my own little details to make it slightly different. I hope this is not a problem, and if it is, then I wish to know and I will correct it.

Hope you enjoyed and as always, I eagerly await any and all comments you wish to share.

That looks excellent, Artasid!

Love the color scheme and your engines assembly, might make it full circle and incorporate some ideas from it!

[Artasid]

[Vitoria]

Really solid looking, Artasid! Gotta love all of that coherent armor!

My random IO ship building spree continues with another ship design from FreeSpace2, this time, a pair of Fenris Frigates


Fenris': Dual Assault Range Torpedo Tubes, Rotating Radar Array, Frigate Engines

These are perhaps one of my simplest builds to date, but at the same time, very characteristic. I'm currently working on alternate loadouts for these, so I will keep you posted.
I hope you enjoyed and as always, I eagerly await any and all comments you wish to share.

Sorry for all the random IO vessels lately, I've been out of ideas for Frames and I figured that instead of stagnating at my computer, I should try to refine my building skills for ships. I find myself using parts that I did not think to use and I think I'm imporving in building level, but I'll let you all be the judges.

The Apex Carrier is essentially a flying pair of frame hangers. Some have givien it the nickname 'The Box" because it usually has a surprise inside, two frame companies. Unlike most other carriers, however, this one can also fill in a minor support role as it has two Support Range Beam Cannons, one over each hanger, to help discourage attackers from getting too close. Of course this also limits the Apex's capabilities, so it should never be without other supportive vessels.


Apex: Dual Support Beam Cannons, 3Kd6 Dual Frame Catapults.

Hope you enjoyed and as always, I eagerly await any and all comments, questions, insults, threats, or suggestions you wish to share.

That carrier is deliciously beefy!

Also, kind of a random note, seeing colored bases is very refreshing! Blue and purple look very distinct and yet still fit the space theme!

That minibuild SSC is surprisingly effective, it really does look like a nice battleship!
Those Fenris frigates appeal to me a lot in gray, it helps to add some of that variation with the two grays.

Woah, that's super smooth, nice work!

On one of the many Ijad inhabited worlds, there is an aquatic lifeform that humans have named "The Bladdercheek shark". The Ijadhi name for this creature can not be pronounced correctly in any human language. It is similar to terran sharks with the exception of two sac like bladders on either side of the creatures mouth. These bladders produce a sonar that allows the Bladdercheek to hunt food or to guide itself by means of echolocation, similar to that of bats and dolphins. This has made it an effective hunter. The Ijad, had constructed a capital ship in the likeness of this creature. Under its forward bow are two distinctive sonar domes to mimic the bladders, and it has been given long range torpedo tubes to take advantage of the range this targeting system can provide.


Bladdercheek: Dual Surport Range Torpedo Tubes, Dual Sonar Tracking Domes




As a side note, with the exception of the base and the stand, the entire build is an SSC from Lego Creator set 31073 Mystical Creatures.
Hope you enjoyed and as always I eagerly await any and all comments you wish to share.

Great build, Artasid! Interesting to know it's basically a SSC!

You got the marine creature theme spot on!

[SamSam]

What dose the diemos look like inside?
I think Fenris shios go grate with deimos

[Artasid]

[SamSam]

Much thax

[Artasid]

As a response to the rather successful Deimos class corvette, the Ijad had attempted to recreate similar tactics with their own design, based off a type of armored shellfish (In all honesty I am NOT happy with the name as it stands, but I had to call it something for the time being)


Shellfish: Multiple Point Defense Turrets, Lots of Armored Spines

In addition, I've also have a few new randoms to add as well


LEFT: Support Range Cannons, Dual Side Armor Plating, Frigate Engines
RIGHT: Dual Assault Range Torpedos, Targeting Scope, Frigate Engines


Haven't done many HVA's so I hope this one is acceptable.

Hope you enjoyed and as always, I eagerly await any and all comments you may wish to share.

That's a killer HVA, looks a lot like a Star Wars support vehicle!
