Sharing Designs Thread - OreSome

Since with a little effort, it's simple to put people's creations into the main game, to be used by enemy corporations, I thought it would be nice to have a place to share Shipyard Mode saves. It you guys put up anything particularly cool, I'll put them into the full game, with an easter egg somewhere that gives credit to all contributors.

Bases, small and large ships could all be possibilities and also, every ship you guys make is another I don't have to, leaving me more time to create missions and improve bugs and performance. I'll post instructions here on how to mod them into your own games, even without updates if anyone asks.

Have at it!

The Lawn Mower (TLM)

I had no technical problems with this one.
It's a bit smaller but more compact this time and i think it is a bad idea to use it against explosive enemys
That said, I hope it's worth one of those keys.

Edit: Ul.to

I fixed the team killing properties of TLM when activated.

Looks pretty cool. I'm gonna make a couple of minor mods to it, then stick it in at some point soon - I'll send a key over when I do!

Ahoy, we be space pirates when shooting down defenceless merchant ships!

Looks kinda unprofessional, but that's because when powering up the siphon (to load up ore into storage faster) the boost bots decided to use themselves as flamethrowers so yeah..., wasn't so enthusiastic about repairing it. Either way I think it would be fun if loaded up cargoships, small and large, could be disabled allowing you to tow the hoppers off to somewhere safe for storage/salvage.

They can, if you blow up the command frame. Nice looking design for a little cargo ship!

It does? Looks kinda ugly to me, the frames weren't aligned properly.

I also just found a big base full of hoppers alongside a weaponless bot base, a nice surprise if not for the 5 suns that had already destroyed half of them

I made another one and gave it some lore... for lack of something better to do.
Introducing the Poseidon Class Carrier:

Although weaponless and centuries old, this capital ship is far from powerless. While fragile, this long range combat carrier boasts massive thrusters, 12 drone launchers, and enough fuel to sustain itself for extensive durations of time. Deployed in swarms, when powered up the anchors stop the ship dead in space and its payload of drones are launched into the fray. However, few of these ships remain today. The Poseidon met its downfall after a breakthrough in drone technology was created, a multilaunching, compact bot carrier superframe. Due to this superframe's rapid molecular compression technology, ships of equal power to the Poseidon were created with twice the durability and with half the price, not even mentioning how much space was saved. After these prototypes were successful, the Poseidon was swiftly decommissioned. The ships themselves have either been stripped of components, destroyed, lost in space, or pirated. In fact, the few vessels remaining have been passed down through pirate families for generations...

Class: Poseidon
Role: Long Range Combat Carrier
Manufacturer: OreSome
Tonnage: 32,000 Tons
Status: Decommissioned
Weapons: 12 drone launchers
Drone Loadouts:
-x8 Blaster Drone
-x2 Buffer Drone
-x2 Blower Drone

This probably couldn't be put in-game as an enemy, unless the AI can correctly launch the drones by turning the power on at the right time.

Here is another design which has a similar idea as the lawn mower but bigger and with much more engine power! (just imagine the engines being above and below in 3D and not being stacked behind each other in 2D ).

P.S sssuperguy's designs do look amazing, good to see that some cares about this game aswell.

O_O that must go amazingly fast, reminds me of the rock crusher from Starfox! Thanks for checking out my stuff, I honestly can't wait until this game is completed. I can only imagine the features that aren't put in yet. It would be nice if the game's "fanbase" was a little bigger, but all things come in time I guess.

I imagine it does have some kick to it!

If you want the fanbase to be larger, the best thing you can do is post about the game in other places - forums, youtube, twitter, whatever.

To be honest, for Desura Alpha stage, it's more active than most
