Asgardian Armada - a Norse mythology themed fleet

Tobi-wan_Kenobi

I built a fleet named after figures in Norse mythology. I was pretty meticulous in keeping a unified style across all ships, ranging from the Viking starfighter all the way up to the titan, Odin.

If you want to face these ships as random spawns in bounty mode, check out my mod: https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/1510-asgardian-armada-new-challenging-enemies-in-bounty-mode

FULL FLEET

ODIN - titan
Odin

THOR - battleship
Thor

NIDHOGG - missile battleship
Nidhogg

LOKI - advanced battlecruiser (eventually a stealth ship if cloaking makes it into the game)
This one's my favorite. Very fast and long range, but with plenty of firepower. Given time, it can take down pretty much any ship in the game - no matter how large(unless you've got like 50+ missile launchers; point defenses can only do so much).
Loki

MJOLNIR - heavy cruiser
My second favorite, because it's a handsome sonofagun.
Mjolnir

GUNGNIR - missile cruiser
Okay, they're all my favorites.
Gungnir

FENRIR - destroyer
Fenrir

SLEIPNIR - missile destroyer

MUNINN - frigate
Muninn

HUGINN - frigate
Huginn

VALKYRIE - missile corvette

VIKING - fighter
Viking

Tobi-wan_Kenobi The shields on these ships look really cool. Well done!

Tobi-wan_Kenobi

Teg Thanks! I spent way too much time on them. Like 40 hours of testing and refits...

Teg

Tobi-wan_Kenobi Well the results speak for themselves. It's a shame Walt's got random paint jobs on bounty ships I think. But the Thor's Hammer aesthetic of the fleet will still shine through. I looked forward to facing them in battle!

Tobi-wan_Kenobi

Teg Yeah they look pretty ridiculous when they spawn as lime green or something. I wonder if there's a way to force them to spawn as bronze colored only.

Teg

Tobi-wan_Kenobi The guy that made the Reaver ships from Firefly said he couldn't. Hopefully we get an option soon, it a shame to lose great paint jobs on everyone's ships.

Tobi-wan_Kenobi

Teg No doubt we'll get an option to set spawn colors. Walt has given us ease-of-use for everything else, I'm sure he'll do this too. Maybe one of us should talk to him about it.

The color of the paint for all but Loki is pretty awesome, yet disgusting at the same time. Also, this goes to show how much of a nerd I am. Off the top of my head I remembered that Huginn and Muninn are Odin's Ravens/Crows, Sleipnir is Odin's eight legged horse, Gungnir was his spear, Nidhogg is the dragon that eats at Yggdrasil, so on and so forth. Just saying, you should make Ratatosk, the squirrel thing that hates everybody.

Tobi-wan_Kenobi

Solarwatch You seem to know your Norse lore. I just googled the mythology and selected fitting names.

Ratatosk... isn't he in Smite, that MOBA? He teleports and throws magic acorns and stuff. Very hard to kill, very annoying.

Solarwatch

Tobi-wan_Kenobi I wouldn't know, I don't play Smite. But he is in Norse mythos. He's the messenger that carries insults between Nidhogg and the unnamed eagle that sits atop Yggdrasil

What about Ragnarok (my favorite event)? Or Hel (she's nice)?

That is great and awesome fleet, and that shields.
Really god job done.

And i think my ship is incapable to beat the fleet completely, so I just tried few ships from Odins fleet.

My poor ship took lot of heavy damage, but AI managed to handle situation preaty well. To be honest, i helped manually Odins fllet to keep together in battle and not lost focus to my ship, hoope that this does not disqalify Odins fleet.

Result unexpected, but very pleasant. anyway, good leson, i will make some improvements.
