I'm still working out the bugs. The interior ships are getting stuck, so I'm adjusting their design to make it easier for them to get out of the ship.
If you don't mind having a look I have 2 cruiser class ships that are abit more modest in size than some of the ships here and I would appreciate if someone had a look over them. The first being my battle cruiser which specializes in broadsiding and the 2nd being my missile cruiser to support from range.
I have changed this ship nearly a dozen times (this is the mk10) and have constantly been improving it in some way but I'm not too sure what else I could to it without reworking the entire design and making a new ship. I designed it to have good protection and plenty of firepower for its size in as reasonably small a space as possible and to take on the brunt of the firepower, it is no battleship though. The cons of the ship as is are that it is slow (which isn't a concern if backed up by smaller more maneuverable ships), it does suffer from fires but its more to do with the biggest issue I have and that is my door placement/crew efficiency is kinda poor rather than lack of extinguishers I think.
This is my first missile cruiser ship so it could definitely use some work, while I found it was very good at taking on large ships (especially with 2 of these things which is easy as its affordable) other than a good PD array it has no form of defense other than minimal Armour and shielding, it's enough to stop an occasional brash of fire when trying to kite at distance but I try to avoid getting within range as this is predominantly a support ship and struggles against craft that are faster than it.
I do have plenty of smaller craft that are better suited to taking on more mobile targets than both of these ships but right now these 2 are the largest I have in my fleet and the ships I spent the most time on so I'd greatly appreciate some input, many thanks.
Edit: I slightly updated the missile cruiser so now the design flows better, there was a small notch in the Armour of the mid section joining the rear of the ship that was really annoying me
Captain_Cranberry They look cool, I really like the missile cruiser body shape. I'll try to have a look later tonight or tomorrow.
Captain_Cranberry I think your missile cruiser has too much thrusters and too little missiles. Imo for that size you'd want at least twice the firepower.

The improved ship:
The result:
What I did:
Added extra missile launchers.
Each launcher now has a dedicated factory.
Protected reactors with armor to provide some protection.
I'll take a look at the broadsider tomorrow.
Hi TEG could you improve my scout ship? if you remember you named my faction and it's been doing great but this ship is just not making the cut its not agile and not really good at defense hope you have a look at it
Teg i can see some of the things you did and it looks good but when I downloaded it too have a good look at how things were changed internally I realised that the game doesn't seem to recognise it as a ship design so I couldn't load it
Captain_Cranberry Are you adding the .ship into the name when you download? Example: l0nIEow.png becomes l0nIEow.ship.png
Could you improve my ship "Finale"?
TheLastBeacon Do you mind posting it here? I'm a bit busy with IRL stuff atm, but hope to get back to ship building soon.
Sure!
TheLastBeacon Thought I'd give it a try so here you go:
You'll need to touch up the paint yourself. End result is something a lot more durable and about 10% cheaper at just under 1 mil with only a slight drop in missile fire rate, 1/3rd less ion beams and have much better FTL efficiency. Your ship used to blow up like a stick of dynamite but now it should be extremely hard to take out.
@Teg Would be interested to see what you do with his and see how it fairs against what I did :p
dieaready thank you for Improving my design!
looks amazing!
