HON Acropolis Class Dreadnought [12-13 Slot]

In 1 collection by Haurbus
High Oriflamme Navy (HON) Ships
11 items
Description
Description : Part of my "Core Breaching Dreads" where I want something tanky enough to survive the first leap into the core without it being an end game ship. RIA had the Veracity, and though HON aren't that armour tanky, I thought of making them a physically tough ship. So the ship is slower/less maneuverable compared to the HON lineup, but shouldn't evaporate if the shields drop. Made from Titanium so you can early build it if you like. Its near the end of a 12 slot, and frameworks will push it up to 13 slot if filled in.

Lore: Though typical Doctrine for HON utilized speed and maneuverability, a new class of ship was deemed neccesary as a more solidified front or siege vessel to take the hits of other ships. A powerful dreadnought was designed to be the shield of a fleet. The Acropolis Class Dreadnought uniquely fills a slot so far not utilized with the HON only further giving honour and favour to those deemed worthy of these flying cities.

Best of luck to you Haurbus!

...sorry for the extremely late reply. Hope you're doing well!

I know it's a lot of work for me to update, been primarily focused on a varied Twitch Stream career lately taking up most of my time. Had started some 2.0 "starting" ships for each class, I can try to see if I can knock out some more 2.0 ships.

Going forward I may have to mark ALL my ships right now as Old though as I have no way of going back to update them in the workshop either. You basically need the original saved design game file which I don't have access to anymore.

Xexorian, I've been playing with many HON craft in my game, and I've found they seem to work in 2.0 with minimal editing. You just need to scale them down a level at first, to knock one or two system slots off and bring them within the limits.

But they are still plenty manoeuvrable and tough enough to survive even when scaled like that, then when you unlock the next tier you can refit them and scale them back up to full size again.

Only major problem I've had is that when scaled, a couple of the turret bases can end up being janky in their dimensions. But this too can be fixed pretty easily just by editing the base size then rebuilding the hull around them to fit smoothly next to them.

It you want to spend a little more time, go through the build highlighting all 'smart hull blocks' and use the replace block tool to turn them into normal hulls. That will further reduce the processing power without any penalty and allow you to use it with less scaling down.

I am NOT a fan of the 2.0 update drastically limiting not only the slot size per tier, but then also nerfing what each slot's old processing power was, this has broken 99% of the ships on the workshop for NO reason.

Any chance you could post a new collection of your v2.0 updated ships? you've got so much on there and not all of it has been marked old yet so it's really frustrating to go through and try to find such things.

Thank you Hermit, you're too kind :)

Kk no worries^^ I've managed to get a few shapes which don't look too out of place alongside your awesome vessels, so I can make do with those. Thanks for taking the time to respond tho, and also for the amazing ship designs :)

Hey Hermit, So Im in the process of remaking ships for the 2.0 release a little. Dinking around with some 5 slots right now.

I usually dont do fighters or turrets as all my time is consumed on big ships like this. It'd be nice to do that and stations but I'm likely to not ever get around to them.

Say Haurbus, is there any chance we might see some HON fighter designs at any point?

I've actually been experimenting with some builds of my own inspired by your design cues (purely for private use mind you, not gonna steal your thunder by uploading them to the WS or anything ;D ), however some 'official' fighters to match the full size ships would be sweet^^
