These ships are very cool, any plans for a heat based faction at some point? Would be nice.

Yea that might be a problem.

I love this ship pack, only issue is that the warships have 0 cargo space which is especially bad for the early game

Uh sure.. yes be careful, it's pointy.

reddy so cute but can't pet them, so pointy, yet so cute

Currently, there are no plans for that, sorry.

Any chance of making this into a Faction rather than just a ship pack?

Wow, thank you very much, that's awesome. Yes it's been awhile, unfortunately some parts of the designs are outdated.

I started the game with your ships because the aesthetic was cool. I've got enough time in game now that I kinda want to start designing my own, so I'm going through oneye's (now dated) set of guides. I now realize exactly how phenomenal these ships really are. You nail almost every one of oneye's guidelines on cost efficiency.

There's some minor downtime on the beam with the spike v3, but I suspect that might be due to changes in power production since you last updated? But other than that very minor quibble, these ships are friggin perfect.

Last thing to people who come to this ship set later: these are the perfect starter ships. The game's AI currently handles kiters fantastically well and other ships not so much, so you don't need to manually control your ship or micromanage your fleet. Each step up in ship size correlates surprisingly well to the next difficulty tier, so upgrading is pleasantly straightforward.

Thanks

Love these ships.

Wow that's new, thank you. Glad you like it.

Just want to thank you for sharing these ships. Your designs were what originally inspired me to make a massive ship. I now have 600+ hours in game as a result <3

Sure go ahead.

Can I use your ships in some faction mods I'm making?

I will add links to your mods and your name so you get the credit.

sexy little ships

You can load them up in the ship builder for your own use. But they don't spawn in career, it is just a ship collection.

Career?

I see, thanks :) I did and it works well. however two of the guns were missing crew assignments in the stigma v1 I believe, but it was easy enough to fix. Thanks for all your hard work! The ships are so well made, and there are so many!

I think the game's recommendation is assuming not using crew roles or assignments. When using crew roles and crew room assignments you can really cut down crew requirements and maintain near 100% efficiency. In case you didn't know, while loading the ship you can also load the crew roles and crew assignments that I've included with the ships.

Hey, do you know how accurate the crew requirements are? for example the spike v4 is 260 people, yet the game recommends over 400 crew

reminds me of the drone builder enemies in NImbatus

my go-to ships atm! love it :)

Thanks. I do plan on making a new fleet but probably after they add some more ship parts in.

that being said man great job, are you working on a new fleet, i did a play through using both this and The company fleet.. i would love another one haha

Yeah, horizontal ships have better maneuvering with the same amount of engines compared to diagonal ships.

i liked this one but "The Company Fleet" feels like it plays better.. these wedge ships never seem to work right for me

The Crimson beam cleanses all corruption. Unfortunately no, nice idea though. If they added more paint styles, more layers, more decals or in-game custom decals, then maybe.

Will there be a corruption swarm lol.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Very good commander, fly forth and lay ruin to even more enemies.

Fantastic ships! Thank you for allowing us to take them into battle.
Many enemies of The Crimson Swarm now rest in the vacuum of space.

damn.. right on lol Thanks for the response!

It is just a ship pack that you can use by loading it from the build menu.

So are these just ships I can use? or a faction a can find in the game? because ive subscribed to the mod, but it doesn't show up in my mod list.

Once you subscribe, a folder will appear in your ships library in game. Workshop items will appear in the Steam Workshop folder. In case you don't know, in build mode, click the hamburger icon on the bottom left next to the Ship Editor text, and click Load Ships, it will bring up your ship library screen.

Maybe I am just dumb, but is there a way to use these guys myself?

the huge ship mod is already there without any downloading. and people who look for ships at the workshop are able to use mods i think.

Thanks! No, I haven't thought of flagships, the biggest ships are already near/touching the edges of the build grid. Making them bigger would make them look too blocky. Yes there are mods for that, but I would rather have the ship packs be playable without mods.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I really love this ship pack, as well as 'the company'.
Just wondered if you have thought about making flagships for each of these factions?
Really nice work, I look forward to whatever else you make!

I'm sooo jealous of people with the imagination and creativity to design stuff like this. I'm just too pragmatic in this regard, everything needs to be as efficient as possible, which almost invariably means it ends up looking like dogshit. Hope you know how fortunate you are for being this creative :-).

cool

Now that you mention it, it does look like a cultural merge thingy.

Thanks!

This mod looks so fucking sick, the crimson red and the spikey form (being diagonal), makes it look fire

If the Crimson Swarm was based off of a cultural merge thingy between the Imperium and the Cabal, that would be really cool as lore due to the ship similarities between them both.

Thanks a lot!

Top notch designs. Really enjoying the ships. Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much!

This is great! I was wondering when i'd bea ble to check these out. Your videos are awesome by the way!

Thank you! Glad you liked it.
