Well thank you Chat GPT. Sadly I know some of these older ships don't have good 2.0 stats, but still have frameworks you can customize to make it work.

I got the game gifted and tried to make my own ship.. yeah, you guessed.. they all looked like crap. So I went to the Workshop, reading various comments - and learned, that there has been a game update, which rendered some of the ships unusable. So, I fired up Chat GPT and asked what this was about and where I could find good ships that work - and it went:
"Suggested Ship Designs for various game phases: WFL Collection of Harbus: Various Ships for early mid and late game. They perform well and let you adjust them easily."

Like Chat GPT suggested my spaceship designs on the workshop?

I've got a ChatGPT recommendation for your Workshop. So, here I am, looking at this amazing piece of art.

Thanks Tiger, an oldie at this point but glad you like it. I just got like 4 comments on a bunch of my old ships, was there a recent explosion or recommendation on Avorion or my ships?

This ship has been such a pleasure to fly. Thank you for you time.

I looove that ship, and yeah, the torpedos is a little fuckt, but easy fix :)
love your ships, plz make more, and update the ship :)

The Torpedos I think are messed up on this one, they were an echo of being broken on the Manifest, not sure if I can update this ship anymore either. Will see about that.

also, i cant get the torpedos to fire, is that a thinf with this ship?

yeh i replaced all hull with armor but once that is done its baller. added some more shields and made it 50% bigger and its sweet. handles well too

what is you most recent ship?

That's awesome to hear it sitll holds up Darkphaze. I know Armour's gotten a big buff since I made this though so it's hull HP is a bit low but should otherwise handle well :)

Currently using this a s my main ship. excellent work. it does everything very well, and looks dope as fuck :)

Ah dang, disappointed to not see an early game varient of this ship. Thank you however for taking the time of making it non-the less.

Yeah that's exactly what I've been using the IMC 7 slot ship for. Lots of mining with it, quite enjoy it! So far for the WFL ships I've only used the Limen mk2 but I will likely end up building the larger ones if the need to do so arises (still only at Trinium in terms of progress).

Still though this ship is my main one for sure. Love it's speed an manoeuvrability, and I found these fighters on the workshop that go great with it (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1261854425) . Made some minor modifications here and there, like making the hanger bay one block instead of four, and changed some of the turret bases a bit, nothing major. Next step is for me to figure out a way to upgrade it to a 9 or 10 slot without sacrificing speed, if it's even possible. Either way I plan on using this ship all the way to the core if I can, even if I have to have some escort ships to help.

I'm definitely looking forward to see what other designs you come up with!

Thanks Zyhark! Yeah the IMC are kind of "use these for mining or salvaging or trade" ones. WFL I've put the most work into but glad they're working out. Tried to make them all distinct role wise.

Oh that makes sense! Love this ship by the way, easily my favorite one on the workshop, but I'm also using some of the other ships in all three of your collections!

Hey Zyhark, The colour is just for visual identification. If they're all grey, it's hard to see how large a block is, or where it is if they're all grey frameworks, so I made them distinct contrasting colours.

There's no "order of what goes where", customize as you see fit.

So I have a question. The frameworks on the ship are colour coded, but what for? My guess is it's so you know what upgrades go on what framework, but I don't know which ones.

Hi Descardion, sometimes I stream Avorion on my twitch but I have no videos sadly. Im really glad the ships have been working well for you though, if you have any questions though feel free to ask.

I am new to the game but I have been living in your ships since I found them H. Great ships, both the HON line and the WFL lines. Thank you for your time and creativity, I would totally Patreon support you if you were to record ship making videos.

someone has a tip for the remaining free space

Thanks Six. That means a lot to hear. I'm glad you are enjoying it!

Without a doubt the best ship available on the workshop! It has everything, a superb design, it is very agile and fast, it has a good framework; Simply THE ship to have ! Congratulations to the creator for the HON series, they are all perfect.

Thank you BastardBoy :)

Awesome ship, love it!

Really happy its working out for you Darkphaze!

using this ship as my main right now. absolutely love it for both looks and handling.

That's actually a really great idea Dandere!

Switched out the hangars for turret base and it makes a completely perfect coaxial weapons platform.

@Wright1331 Should see it as a support vessel for bigger vessels, like Destroyers irl.

Armour weighs a lot, made a decision to make it's speed paramount over hull tanking.

Ship is very weak, why no use of armor anywhere??

Glad to hear both of them are working well together Jordan!

Been running this as well as the Command Ship, Both are really great. Thanks for adding the framework.

Thanks for finding out what the problem was Godbenten. It was an easy enough fix.

Thanks Haurbus for the quick reaction!

Thank you Godbenten for the help. I removed the Academy Block and it's now framework instead. Hopefully that issue gets resolved, but the ship SHOULD work for Russia now.

Understood in detail. The problem is in the academy block. If you remove it, then departures cease in Russian localization.

Excuse me. The problem was in Russian localization.

Good design, but crashes when you enter the staff menu. Created a new world - could not. The integrity of the game is all excellent. Correct please really liked your design.

@DedprideD, I'm not sure, it might be a beta branch thing? I've never had the game crash for me going into the crew of the ship. Making a new galaxy might fix it? Or verify integrity of game files.

I go into the crew of the ship and the game crashes what to do?

захожу в экипаж корабля и игра вылетает что делать?

i love the designs. cant wait to see a dreadnought and spacestations

Keep up the good work tho, the Hon ships gives accomodating needs what the player wants. I made another copy of it but modified it for only for Mining, Salvaging, Selling Goods, and Pure firepower (w/o Fighters). That's what I did tho so... yea. :D

Unfortunately I don't have fighters made up for HON. Could whip together something quick maybe.

I've tried to work towards things of importance typically which is why I held off making weapons for a long time as their smaller(like fighters) harder to see them. Been fleshing out the other stuff though, so maybe a fighter or two would help.

Ah, do you know what kind of fighters work with this ship? Right now I'm just using fighters and changing color to match the ship here. Doesn't have that nice sleek comparison. ;w;

Yeah the IMC Command ship was a placeholder for now as I dont have a HON command ship at the moment. Glad the ships working out for you!

Just used it, since I'm a bit at mid tier...I convert some of them to Trinium, Ogonite. I only convert three frameworks to assemblies and now it churns fighters well. This works wells especially against fast frigates and looting.

I would like a HON version of a command ship, due to it's design.

Thank you for the kind words!
