So far I have seen very few swarm designs in multi-player games, and In these forums. This topic, is to share swarm designs/suggestions

this is my main swarm design. Each ship is as small as possible for the sake of packing as many ships in one grid as possible, each one is equipped with one ion beam a piece. I managed to cram in 100 ships. It costs a hefty $5,600,000

As you can see the design preys on design weaknesses and chaos, and exploits chinks in the enemy ships armor. Even a modified swarm of 4,000,000 easily dispatched the more expensive Terror with out any issues

Railgun Army:
not too effective because its using small railguns,but i like the slow moving railgun bullets

Some balls with 360 shield:
kind of a anti swarm with the 360 shield

ImNotLaffng Great swarm. I took the liberty of testing it, and it performed great! It seemed your swarm specialized in maneuverability, while mine focused on mass production, and durability.

    CATMASTER I don't think rail guns and swarms mix, Normally I use rail guns in big capital ships, where you have room to make as big as you want. Your other anti-swarm design worked great. I recommend that you outfit some of your ships with cannons for added weapon diversity, that way it could be far more destructive. Your anti-swarm Design would be something I would call a wolfpack. Still, both designs proved effective.

    Here's a cannon swarm I just finished. The fire the small cannons start end up doing more damage than the ships themselves.

      GarryGarret well again,i like the slow railgun bullets thats the big reson i built that and even tho its not too effective, its a swarm after all so its still good against 1v1 ship

      CATMASTER yeah I agree that the slow rail gun bullets do look cool. Kinda like a shooting star of death.

      14 days later

      My brother made a vanilla ship he called the pillbug and when he got multiple pillbugs together, they destroyed everything. Each one is an individual ship, not connected in any way

        GarryGarret I made a couple swarm designs not to long ago
        Ion Swarm:
