Thank you Pho3nix!

This can only be called brilliant. Its fast, agile, and GUNS.

Thank you K5WRO!

I love this boat friend. You did well

Kill Bricks are good!

I wish I had the talent to make such nice looking ships. I keep making giant kill bricks..

Thats perfect to hear. Im glad its flexible and works for you Harry!

What a great flexible ship for a newbie like me. I love it to bits!

Dorian squints his eyes as he looks at the first Limen Shadow in drydock. "Uh...that doesn't quite look the same as the original."

Patrick shakes his head. "Nah, you're wrong. It's exactly like the Limen mark two."

"I think you're cracked."

...it's the Black Market edition! The Limen Shadow: Darker, meaner, and throws down with the best of them. You'll be punching above your weight class so often you'll be making bigger enemies sooner than you should...but that's exactly what you wanted. Isn't it? You love it when your back is against the wall, no way out, shields down, hyperspace core jammed, fighters gone and it's just your armor, guns and wits. The Limen Shadow: The dinosaurs die like your enemies-out with the large and lumbering masses, in with the new blood packing more heat in a smaller target. - An excerpt from an extremely rare pamphlet stolen from a secretive inner circle within the Black Market.

In my headcannon, my up armored Limen is the "black market" edition with additions that go beyond the base design. If the modified nose (which is even more armored than before) doesn't give it away, the certainly the additional bulk behind the command bridge, underneath and side of the main engine definitely will. Oh, and the additional strips of armor on all the thrusters and other areas...

...and the fact that all the hull has been replaced with armor.

:D

So I've scaled it up a couple times more into a 10-slot ship and continue to modify the base design. Though when I noticed the Left/Right and Up/Down stat getting into the yellow I spent a couple hours playing with the design until I realized it's very simple: Additional directional thrusters on the back, more directional thrusters at the nose. Also removed a couple hangars when I noticed my small fighter capacity went over 120 and realized I'm not utilizing my 200+ extra crew capacity.

I had to redo the nose after I installed more thrusters. Tried to mimic the original, but my ship design skills aren't quite there yet. Also forgot to mention I changed up the color pallet of the ship from the titanium color to the dark grey color, kept the medium grey, changed the lights from blue to red. Engines are now bright red too. I downloaded your turrets and some others, recolored them too to fit my theme.

Thats awesome to hear you were able to make good use of the base design Stasis. Really glad to hear :)

Oh yeah, if the Limen didn't have that large cargo bay I would have gone for the more industrial design or just make another brick (I keep making bricks) to grow into my mothership.

I keep gravitating towards the mothership idea. One ship for everything.

I'm currently maining this ship. I just scale it up, added hangars, more crew quarters, installed shields and hyperspace, added acadamies, dock block and another thruster, and replaced all the hull with armor. It's quite maneuverable even in dense asteroid fields and if the nose wasn't slim I would be hitting so many asteroids. Heck, the entire ship is slim! I love it!

Thanks Omar!

bro... this is beautiful

<3

I made that screenshot of my modified Limen public on steam and someone commented saying it looked great and asked if it was on the workshop :)
I added a caption to it afterwards that says you designed the original.

I just like seeing what people end up doing or getting use out of them. Glad its working out for you.

Thanks! :) Most of the credit goes to you of course!

They look good Zyhark :)

Can confirm that my version of the Limen is able to handle Boss Swoks with no trouble :)
Just ran into him on accident and took him down.

Here it is :) The modifications on the outside are fairly small but I like it like this.You can kind of see in the screenshot that the hangar goes right through the ship.

Oh and here's the Breacher that I upgraded with twin hangars bays and a few other internal modules that brought it up to a 6 slot :)

Feel free to link if you like

I'd love to show you what it looks like, if you'd like to see it :)

That's awesome to hear Zyhark. Glad it's been a good ship for you to mod :)

Bit of fun lore, when I was designing the 'original' base to this(The Iconoclast before I put it on the workshop, then became Limen, then Limen MK II) it had a hanger on it. The entire idea it was called a light cruiser before was because it was meant to have a little hanger space on it. So I'm glad you ended up kind of carrying on that legacy as it were :)

Loving this ship! I made some alterations and added a small-ish hangar to it (hangar size is 41 but relative to the ship itself, it's pretty big). Fighters will be able to go out of either the port of starboard sides of the ship, and overall I think it looks really neat! Only sacrificed a little bit of the crew decks that made up the hull of the ship on either side (and a chuck of the framework inside, which I reorganised to work with the hangar added in).

Yeah Timmy the Tooth, that's the purpose of the frameworks. They're cheap/empty space thats easily converted into shields/utility blocks as needed. I put them on all my ships. I colour them so it's easier to see how many there are (earlier ships aren't updated with it).

Having frameworks allows me to make ships cheaper to build initially and allows a lot of upgrade potential in a ship, hope it works out for you Timmy!

OK, I think I got the idea. The multicolored, uhh scaffolds? (picture 2 above) those are there to turn into shields and other things that the player might need to add? I've been cannibalizing crew quarters in the past, but if that's the purpose of those scaffolds that's nifty.

Im super happy to hear that DOSorDIE, it's kind of my shining jewel and pearl of my fleet. A good starter ship, glad I made a MK II variant.

Best Beginner Ship on the market! Fast, agil, cheap and near unkillable. Was traped by 20+ pirats and a torpedo pirate ship, and with that ship i killed it all. The best is, after fight near no damage. I only changed the wings a little bit to get full torpedo defence with no blind spot. Absolut Brilliant Job on that ship.

Thanks Darth. Im happy they're working out, I always strived to be good looking and functional. It's nice to hear that it's been working out for you.

ok this ship has become a staple of my fleet I made 6 yesterday .. I have 3 of them set up as miners.. with the convergence of the scaffolding stuff I have increased the jump range by almost 8 sectors and I have 30k in shields.. then the other 3 are my military escorts to my fleet captain in the bigger 8 slot cruiser, they are also set up with 30k shields and the extra jump range. I just altered highlighting the colors on the mining vs. the combat ones... they are fast and very agile. I'm looking forward to being able to make your bigger ships in the future.. really can't say enough about how much I really love your ships. Really functional and they look incredible man.

ok so the pictures above with the colors is that the framework? Inside? These are "weak" in this area of space and I'd love to get some shields and I just build 2.. they are mining awesome.. not a single issue with direction or getting stuck.. great ships man thanks so much.

Really happy they're working out for you Darth :)

THIS is it bro !! my new mining ships I'm so excited !! I will literally have an entire fleet of your ships haha

And I just noticed that there aren't any hangars for anything lesser than Trinium... so there goes that idea

I'd like to make some sort of purpose built boarder ship around 6 system slots. It's a design in my mind but I got a few other projects Im working on for ships but I'll likely eventually get to it.

Would make a relatively easy to get entry carrier. Also want to make a Command ship to pair with it.

Nice. Can I suggest a new project for you? An early game carrier along the same line. Now that boarding and capturing ships has become a thing; having ships capable of doing so is gonna be needed, but there are hardly any early game carriers around

Thanks! Yeah my WFL ships are built to have a lot of cargo room. Either early trading/raiding/R-Mining stuff works well.

I do have purpose built freighters for R-mining as well : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1756525014

I really like this ship, it looks cool and is not only a decent war ship; it is also a good and affordable early R-Mining ship or freighter

Thanks for the comment Lumbatti.

I make my own ships in campaign as I like it a lot but this looks pretty cool!

Thank you Latte~

Looks pretty decent
