Really glad to hear it did well for you Enlon. And yeah modify the crap out of it. Whatever works. I tried to allow some base customisation with internal frameworks.

Yeah, with some other stuff, this is a great bases for a heavy rift ship actually. Especially if you play on 200% rift weight increase, like my friends do so we can actually play together on rifts.
This ship at its normal size is great, but I really liked min maxing it for rifts with its feel.

So, I do some modifications to this ship.....like really min maxed space, and still kept it with its look 90% intact.....wow, was really nice, little touchy on scaling up, but managable if you dont look at two spots visually.
But I scaled this to a size 12 to 14 with rather interesting results (granted I was using a fair amount of computer cores with one sub dedicated to 200% power subsystem to achieve this with good results.
I only tried up scaling it for fun.....did not expect to see a light weight Dreadnaught that worked.
Some changes may of not been fully in theme, but dang this ship was really nice.

Thanks Luckspeare!

Both this and its predecessor design are great!

Thanks Rocket_Surgeon! Yeah Ive tried to make all my ships approachable and useful, feel free to check out my other fleets or ship types. Should offer a lot of what you'll need going forward.

Oh my god, this is perfect. I was looking for some ships that are cool looking easy to play around with in the build menu. Still grasping the basics so I'm looking for something mid-ish (I think) game ship that does everything so I can experience what the game has to offer. Very cheap too, I love it.

Thanks g_BonE! Glad the whole fleet is getting a bit of use. This is still one of my favorite designs.

Amazing build, handles really well. using two of those as escorts for your "spear of ardent". Really like Your style. Keep it up!

Thanks CMango!

Awesome,i love it.

Thank you very much Legionnaire!

Holy balls...this thing is gorgeous. Be proud.

i love you.....

I try to make most of them visible. I think there's a few 'hidden' ones in this, but otherwise all my WFL ones are aesthetically planned to show their thrusters.

Glad it works for you Falkenherz!

I totally love that you don´t hide the thrusters. Realism is not very developed in Avorion, but even then,on top hiding thrusters inside was way to cheesy for me.

Yeah most of these are meant to be 'converted' but built that you could like tech early with just Titanium.

My design philosophy was from my first playthrough where I found it easier to mass farm Titanium so I made 'large' ships out of it to kind of fill the gap for more dangerous space. Toyed around with more Trinium based ships with HON though. Glad it works out!

I built it and immediately changed it to trit. Also, that's a reason I love your ships. They're mostly iron/titanium, which lets you build them easily enough and then upgrade them as you go, rather than a lot of the other designs on the workshop that start out requiring ogonite and avorion or something.

That I feel like would make a good rule for general workshop ship design. Make it Iron/titanium, and replace stuff that can't be made from those with frameworks, so everyone at every game stage can access at least the spaceframe of the ship.

Yeah a lot of stuff hopefully to build what you like/want. It's less specifically tanky(for its size) to the Abyssal's but has a massive cargo.

'Bout to retire some Abyssal class ships now. This thing is gorgeous. I really like the launcher placement on this one as well.

Also, on the. . . Uh, wings? I hate to call them wings. Maneuvering outriggers? Yeah, that.

On those, there is a great framework there behind a single armor panel that is great for a long/thin hangar bay as well.
