Description
These are the finest ships to come out of Ember Orbit Ship Yards (and the only ones im not embarassed to post). The collection is organized with warships on top and modules on bottom, if you would like to see a ship please comments, I am always looking for new ideas and ways to spend my free time. Please notify me of any update gore on the ships, so I can take them down and repost a more modern version. These ships are probally mildly unrealistic (I literally name my nuclear reactors after nuclear disasters OK) but I try to hold to at least mild realism.

Feel free to tinker, copy, reuse, sell on the black market, post to the boards while claiming ownership, or do anything else with my designs, I actually dont care at all.
