High Ground 10 Feb, 2021 @ 1:46am

Marneus_FR 26 Mar, 2019 @ 10:06am 
So do you know anyone with a backup ?
Marneus_FR 25 Mar, 2019 @ 2:43pm 
It's pretty sad, your ship looked nice, it would have been a good start for a revamp. Thanks anyway
JD.Horx  [author] 25 Mar, 2019 @ 2:22pm 
when the files is corrupted, the file is lost. I only got this upload, sorry :(
Marneus_FR 25 Mar, 2019 @ 12:13pm 
I would like to revamp it.
Marneus_FR 25 Mar, 2019 @ 12:10pm

I have a heavily modified version of this in this World.

It was my attempt to turn the Pandora into a workable gravity cannon.
JD.Horx  [author] 9 Apr, 2018 @ 9:07am 
Err, the build is most obsolete. I don’t think I am going to reupload it.
slith 9 Apr, 2018 @ 6:35am 
World file is broken, is there any chance for a reupload?

its beutiful:steamhappy:

I ditched the piston system when I gutted the ship. Thanx for the info, Ive used whiplash's scripts alot. Ill take a look at it. Thanx for your help.
JD.Horx  [author] 5 May, 2016 @ 5:34am 
I don't recommend building any piston loaded large grid launcher on a server. In fact any PMW can be quite difficult to handle on a server. But if you want to build some, try a welder based system and use a script of Whiplash or Rdav, they have good tutorials how to set up such a system.
Mycroft Groks 4 May, 2016 @ 7:59pm 
@JD.Horx I have rebuilt this frigate into a battlecruiser for a server I'm working for. I'm having issues trying to get a MAC cannon working. I was wondering if you would mind giving me a hand on the build. I've used quite a few of your builds and I love the designs. I've posted the world in which I have placed three of your ships I've updated and modified. Any help would be very much appreciated.

As an orbital bomber, or even a base destroyer, the Pandora could be one hell of an addition to the IMDC fleet, I just don't know if you would have the time or the energy to refit this beast for a new purpose or leave her to the scrapyard
JD.Horx  [author] 22 Feb, 2016 @ 5:43pm 
Yes, this was my thought. Back then we had no blueprints, but now we have much more possibilities. You could use multiple barrels to build projectiles and release them onto a planets surface.
Epsilon 22 Feb, 2016 @ 1:48pm 
Something I was thinking is maybe not this exact system, but a similar one that used a projector system instead of a piston driven magazine style, and with a projector system you could design multiple warheads as blueprints so that the Pandora wasn't limited to the same five warheads in a magazine
JD.Horx  [author] 22 Feb, 2016 @ 9:23am 
Sadly this won't work reliably in any gravity well. But you could use it as an orbital bomber.
Maybe I can reuse this system in another ship.
Epsilon 21 Feb, 2016 @ 11:29pm 
honestly, if you modernized this vessel, she could be quite a handful in any situation
DevilPup1775 23 May, 2015 @ 9:31am 
The design of the ship reminds me of a charon class frigate in halo.
JD.Horx  [author] 13 Apr, 2015 @ 12:02am 
No, but it has the color scheme, I later used for the IMDC.
Di-Ferr 12 Apr, 2015 @ 2:05pm 
was this meant to be part of the IMDC fleet?
DonnieDiggs 10 Apr, 2015 @ 11:19am 
not only an awesome ship, but the best presentation i've ever seen well done budday
lonewolf 3 Feb, 2015 @ 1:07pm 
Sorry but new to workshops, loaded the world and took screenshot of the world and have the ship as blueprint :)
lonewolf 3 Feb, 2015 @ 11:48am 
Possible to get the blueprint for the ship and not the world?
Sickholic 9 Jan, 2015 @ 1:02pm 
Took this ship and modified it with heavy armour and stuck a small ship Gravity gun in it (The Gravity gun is a little over half the length of the ship)
Beef's Tew 3 Dec, 2014 @ 5:04pm 
Dear J.D, I would like to know where you have found the models for the other ships that you have stated before. Please if possible DM me ASAP I want to get these models and repurpose them for StarDrive if you are wondering. (with authors consent)
Evandir 29 Nov, 2014 @ 9:35am 
Me and my freind went head to head, he had this ship, I had my own overpowered creation that had a titanium hull, I used my laser cannons and phasers to obliterate him. It is an awesome ship though and mods are a bit OP
Braxion Starfall 13 Oct, 2014 @ 12:50pm 
Just a couple of vanilla ships that spawned in sequence though I had to plan my shots at a long distance so they wouldn't shoot me. The third one got me pretty good.
Mr Whiskers 13 Oct, 2014 @ 11:55am 
Nice one!
JD.Horx  [author] 13 Oct, 2014 @ 10:53am 
Hm, what? You took down cargo ships? Please explain further, what kind of aggressive cargo ships? On a server, on your private world? Or my favourite, killed griefers ??? I really want a know!
And no problem man, it was kinda fun building these beauties ;)
Braxion Starfall 13 Oct, 2014 @ 10:12am 
This build was well done. I have used it to take down aggresive cargo ships and it works quite well. Thank you for the build.
Antro 29 Aug, 2014 @ 3:21pm 
You did a great job on this build! Its awesome, and fits really well with the background :D
The_Silver_Nuke 29 Aug, 2014 @ 5:19am 
What is the skybox?
JD.Horx  [author] 29 Aug, 2014 @ 2:25am 
I thank you that you took the time to test this ship and write some suggestions, but I have to remind you: This is not your usual front grunt. This is a ship that you would protect well in a fleet, built for long distance combat. It has only gatling turrets to protect its valuable payload from enemy rockets or bombers. It should only be used for what it is really good at: Bombing the heck out of a base from far away. Well you are probably right about the bridge, but I always considered the lower deck as combat bridge and the upper one as flight bridge. There are entire new possibilities with the cameras now.
Alfador 28 Aug, 2014 @ 10:55am 
The main cannon on this ship is pure awesome. The design in itself and the quite good, effective way it works (and hurts other ships) are very good and inspiring.

-

However, as a proof of concept ship this frigate is very nice, but i do think it is very slow to steer. The two gyroscopes do not seem to be sufficient enough.

After getting that ship into some shootouts against small and cute defense satetlites, i would suggest to either reinforce the whole "upper part" of the ship, exspecially around the bridge. The armor there seems to be too thin.
Also, i would suggest to change the gatling turret placement, one or two missile hits disable the three turrets pleaced on each side completely.

@hmshark:
Well then post a link to a ship that you would classify as corvette please ^^
Hint: just turn the ship by 180° to stop faster.
Jetstream01 27 Aug, 2014 @ 7:17pm 
Bad ass man!!! LOVE the clip design. Very clever.
SomeRandomGuy 27 Aug, 2014 @ 5:28pm 
nice vid bro
Hmshark 27 Aug, 2014 @ 5:27pm 
i like the cannon ship, but a corvette is supposed to be fast and agile, this corvette is super slow and takes 10 min to stop.
El Racista 27 Aug, 2014 @ 12:45am 
Needs more rocket turrets
FentanylWallaby 26 Aug, 2014 @ 11:22pm 
what skybox is that?!
Kodokuna 26 Aug, 2014 @ 3:45pm 
I cant seem to load the map for some reason, is anyone else having this issue?
