WFL Spear of the Ardent Class Mothership [15+ Slot]

Description
Description : Stats are at 100% engineers. So this is it, this is my end game ship. Largest ship I've made, and a true center or mothership of the WFL. It's been a while since I made a new ship, and this came about with a recent playthrough realizing I needed something bigger than the Imperium. Thank you for all the support and love for the ships, it's meant a lot for all the hours I've put in.

In order for the cannon to work, there's 4 Coaxial emplacements near the nose. Changing them from back to front (Fazar's Wrath 4/4 furthest back, 3/4, 2/4, then 1/4 at the front). They should be saved already on the ship design, but it allows you to have 4 Coaxials fire from the spot of 1. Idea for the cannon came from SivCorp. Brilliant idea.

The ship is built cheap as well, lots of room for upgrades with Frameworks inside to convert to other subsystems. Hanger space is a bit light but should work.


Lore: With the war going strong with the Old Imperium, the WFL managed to reclaim an ancient flagship design; Fazar's old Megigas. With new improvements, and the resources to redesign it better than it was, the original Imperium capital was redesigned into Fazar's new seat of Power. The Spear of the Ardent was a ship to match or Rival Megigas of the Imperium, or the Spirit of Evermourne from the HON.

I think there's 4.0 size guns now but at the time 3.5 was the largest I ever saw gun sizes go to. Apologies Destova.

I think I discovered it was just the gun(s) I was trying to slot in were literally too big for the slots on the ship. I kinda gave up on it cause I'm not really sure if it was due to the ship size scale being off (I built at a full 15 slots out of pure Avorion and they just wouldn't fit) or what I was doing wrong. Didn't matter anyway cause the server died soon after, so it's whatever.

Thank ya as always for the help though!

I dont THINK it would break the coaxial gun as everything I know about it, I don't recall changes to coaxial guns like that. They mostly just changed progression, and warp jumping, and how ship size scales to system slot.

I had a blueprint not far from this one that was 4 pieces. It's been a while since I recall where it was, but I think I had 4 platforms lined up in a row, and you would put 4th at the back, and 1st at the front. They had off set turret places which meant all 4 guns would line up on the 1st's so they could fire together. Otherwise if you made your own custom ships you just make the barrel offset as far as you can for each one, and they should be able to fire in a line.

Hey, question. I know this ship is older at this point and things have changed in Avorion fairly majorly, but has the newer versions of the game broken the coaxial turret? I won't like this might be person behind the keyboard error as I've never gotten quite this far into the game, but I for the life of me cannot figure out how to get even one coaxial turret in place, much less 4 as you say is possible. Any help would be appreciated, though I understand completely if that's no longer possible due to the state of the ship compared to the modern updates to the game.

@ahbiker - don't use hollow insides of ships, it's hard to fill them with stuff. Most good builds use framework inside, but several smaller ones instead of just one large one. This way you can make the shell look good with bunch of frameworks inside - users can import your ship and select to view only frameworks then simply replace them with other things as they need, to mix-and-match.

Feel free to take any of my ships and hollow them out to practice if you like. Maybe some of the IMC freighters might work.
ahbiker 19 Jan, 2021 @ 9:01pm 
Please is it possible you do a shell build. Cosmetically epic as yours always are. But with a hollow centre maybe 10wide 5 deep. And however king u see fit. With the belly of the ship open for easy filling centre? I'm new to building but can full a ship to my needs realy well. And slowly learning to do my own designs too

why thank you ahbiker! I did grab a lot of inspiration from Eve Online. But yeah I've spent a lot of time trying to refine, and make them functional/aesthetic, and low block count for better performance. Hopefully they work well for you. People have kept liking the ships so I've kept making ships. So really everyone who likes, comment, downloads a ship has kept me making them.

yet to see ingame but damn dude u remind me of the finest looking eve online ships. to make these and as ppl say cheap and functional is insane. i don my invisible hat to you sir

Hey SkeL, thank you for the kind words. Yeah I try to make them look nice, have low block count, and perform well. I likely wont be working on stations as I keep thinking of ship designs to work on instead.
