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.

Woww

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^^

<3

Honestly it's still great once you hit Avorion levels, even if it's not the most functional ship.
It's still just a really nice ship when upscaled. Leaves other puny mortals in awe of your power. ;D

Starting to hear some stuff with the new Progression system making my ships obsolete which is unfortunate. Or.. not working as much as they used to. Good to know though, thanks for sharing.

The core-breaching dread has been turned into the core-killing dread in the newest update, which restricts the limit of subsystem slots (and thus how big you can make your ship) based on what tier of materials you're at. So now you can't build this until you get Ogonite knowledge (the ability to build with it), which kinda sucks but is understandable.
So with that in mind, I'm gonna get all 3 capital ships (RIA Veracity, HON Acropolis, WFL SotA), maybe some supporting ships, and reenact the first xsotan war because I need an end goal

Thanks Rickcarson! I forget if I tossed torpedo launchers on this one, but yeah plenty of turret slots on this bad boy.

So shiny I accidentally started a war with a computer faction while admiring it.

Though I admit to some noob confusion about why the game didn't want me to mount guns on what I thought were turrets but turned out to be torpedo launcher tubes. My bad. :D

Yeah I think the energy issue is something maybe somewhat persistent with my designs (Depending on what material you use for generator or how much you use for shield ect)

Gorgeous ship. I've built a few scaled-down versions with different glow colors for my alliance to use wolfpack-style. Though they need energy upgrades when I do that.

In that case, it worked out quite well. :)

Yeah the curved parts are made out of edge blocks, corner 1, and corner 2 blocks. Just with varying length/heights to give illusion of slope.

Not quite what I asked, but still thanks. :)

I guess I didn't look close enough - it at first didn't seem to be made out of the usual parts, but after a second look, I'm not so sure about that anymore... :puzzled:

Hey ShadowDragon. If you look at the shape of everything, it starts at a certain length and height. I keep changing the length smaller each step down and that gives it a sharply declining curve instead of an easy circle or anything. This gives a rounder front that ends up becoming long and sharp at the end.

Nice shipset.

How did you make the semi-rounded parts, though??

Thank you, sir! You are a legend.

Hey @Haurbus Can you post the 100% size building materials when you get a chance?

Do keep making ships cwj3589, you get getter over time. If you like doing it. I suggest playing with it more but thank you :)

i get to building, adding what i need as i go, making my ship look sleek and then i see ships like this and say oh, ok time to delete my ship and download this one LOL

Hey Rodel. Glad the ship is working out for you. Yeah I like to have a lot of upgrade potential in ships. Good to see it works well.

This is, by far, the best ship design I have come across in the game so far. Thank you for all the framework for easy upgrades not to mention for creating such a beautiful looking ship.

Thank you Hideo Kojima! I'm glad the colour scheme works :)

the purple neon light is hot, nice work there

That's awesome SkeL I'm glad it's working out. Spent a lot of time trying to make it a tough ship.

Currently using this ship right now, and its a beast! Awesome ship!

Glad I didn't sell you a dud then Jaap lol. Yeah the frameworks is meant to be upgrade potential. Shields ect.

Great ship. I was originally sorely disappointed until I figured out what the framework thing meant and now to use it.

Yeah the new building update shows you where the integrity fields go out to. I often would play with them till they covered the entire ship but I felt it would bleed over some areas. I try to have one single integrity block to fit all :)

It also allowed it to be veeery fast for it's size. :3
Also. That one perfect stick of integrity gen in the middle made me smile. Perfectly measured for the ship.

Yeah I don't find it worth sacrificing the look of the ship by putting armour on the outside. I try to place armouring on the inside to block rail shots going too deep. I tried to make Turret blocks larger to blow off less often but it's imperfect at best. Glad to hear this works scaled up though.

On a smaller scale, it is a bit vulnerable due to it's liberal use of hull blocks and decorational crew quarters, but on a big scale that doesn't matter when you have impenetrable shields and 50M of shield points, along with insta-recharge of shields when they go down. (Shield upgrades can be pretty OP in the right hands due to the silly 35% recharge when shields drop, PER CHIP, so 3 chips means 100% recharge when someone manages you knock your shields down. XD And this effect can happen every 5 mins.)

I liked this one even more though. I took this and transformed it to all trinium, then made it around 210% bigger. Awesome player flagship because of it's very good turn speeds. A good ship that you put a horde of frontal weapons and nothing else. I will probably use this ship to assert my dominance in a server I'm currently playing in. Expanded it so much it has 8M HP, and made it's insides pure shields, along with upgrades so it has over 50M shields. :D

Wow, that's really high praise. You're too kind :)

Im amazed by how you manage to improve ever more on your initial designs, but still keep true to the overall HON looks. Those curves are gorgeous and the overal balance of shapes, details and flowing lines is truly a masterwork!

Hey thanks Nogard!

Another Wonderfully shaped ship from a master artist ! love it!

Im really glad you like them, and hope they serve you well StarOfBlizzard!

soo... do u know that 100% of my ship will be from your workshop?
(dont missunderstand if it listen a bit weird) ^^"

Thanks Atlas!

very cool design, thumbs up :)

Thanks Kent!

wow that looks awesome
