I was looking forward to the game as much as anyone but after seeing what its become, not so much.

Nyx supercarrier. My favourite hull of all in EVE Online.
>>253937086
Nyx is sexy but i like the Caldari one more.

Welp, looks like we are dying.
Gonna post this and let it all sink to nothingness.
Going to post some EVE ships.
Naga battlecruiser, Caldari origin

I think it looks even better than Nyx
>>253939298
Ill give you the titan one but the carrier no way.

Last month CCP developed new model for Condor hull, but I like the previous one more.
I hate this thread because it stops proper space threads from existing. At least you stop making them every day in a week or so
>>253943042
The design being a more ugly version of the Guardian of Khadesh mothership is really bothering me.

It can be marginally better only because of price.

I too, prefer the original scorp design. Especially this one... pink scorp ftw.
Erebus titan, Gallente origin
We had this thread yesterday but I don't mind.

It works just as good practically.
Toggling the max firepower works to negate the first problem any how.

>>253931131
>>253947257
How big is the sulaco, anyway? It had a crew of, what was it, 10 people? No engineers, most of the crew were marines, there was one pilot (and she flew a dropship) and a synthetic. I assume the synthetic handled everything on the ship.
Montross' ship was always bad-ass, to me. Dat amphibious design.
>>253947449
I can't really say, I do admit the crew seemed stark in the movies. They're apparently pretty damn big in A:CM.
Is it too much to hope that the HW remakes will be decent?
>>253947449
385 metres long. Current day Nimitz class carrior of similar lenght has 3500 personell and 2400 serving the air wing, so for the Sulaco not being a carrier I'd say a good estimate is ~4000 if you count the atomation and the cold sleep realistically for a quarter mile ship I'd say 2000 at most. Makes you think really how much crew the 1.7 kilometer ships of Star Wars need...
>>253948049
To reduce crew workload, and increase efficiency and safety, operation of the ship is fully automated. The Conestoga is equipped with a 28 Terabyte, carbon-60 based core mainframe. In effect, the ship could pilot itself and fight a space battle even if the crew were all dead or in hypersleep. However, at any time, combat or navigational decisions made by the ship can be overridden by the Commanding Officer. Backup is provided by an 8 terabyte mainframe and local terminals dispersed throughout the ship. Most damage control is automated by the Conestoga's mainframe. If the reactor suffers severe damage, the entire assembly can be jettisoned before an explosion occurs. If the vehicle is damaged to the point it becomes untenable, emergency evac is prompted by the CO or automated systems. The Conestoga carries eight BD-409 EEV (Emergency Escape Vehicles). If the crew is in hypersleep, their capsules will be loaded by the automatic systems. The ship may also be scuttled by the CO. Self-destruct protocols are initiated manually, causing the reactor to go supercritical fifteen minutes after initiation.

>>253930745
how does that thing stop?
>>253948296
Actually I've spend some time talking to the devs on the forums. And I think they are doing a good job. Let me elaborate: first of all they are also packing the first two games, so if bad comes to worst and the remakes totally suck, you'd still have the original games as Relic made them made compatible with 64-bit systems like windows 7 and 8. Secondly they are in tight cooperation with Black Bird (preeeety much off the Homeworld team from Relic) and they are working with the source code of the original games, so it's not like making them from scratch, more like refining the existing ones. And lastly they are actually listening to fans who played the games 145109234810412 times about the bugs and imbalances in the gameplay.
>>253948489
Muh nigga. Dem 15 pulse-fire torpedo tubes.
>>253949009

>>253949065
You've given me hope anon.
>>253949191
seems practical
>>253949009
Star Wars uses non-Newtonian physics. But they actually explained it as the ship having a constant repulsor field working opposite of the engines and being powered by them to neglate the g-forces on the crew. When the engines idle the repulsor field stops the ship. A more reasonable explanation would be what today spacecraft do though, they simply turn in retrograde and burn the main engines. Fun fact before Mass Effect went gay space travel was explained exactly that way, the ship accelerating for half of the journey and then turning backwards and decelerating the other half.
>>253949009
Well and this is the reason why orb-shaped spaceships are the best.
This was from a PS1 Star Trek game. It's apparently a fighter shuttle carrier.

That game pissed me off so much trying to retreive the fucking shuttle with endless waves coming at me.. fucking hell i still have flashbacks.
>>253950429
It was actually only used in one episode of TNG to represent Lore's 'liberated' Borg. Ever since then it's been used to represent them in much media. Otherwise, I don't think they have a need for one.
>>253949929
This doesn't have supercarriers (about two times size of dreadnoughts, biggest visible ships on image) and titans (ten times larger than dreadnoughts).
>>253950846

>>253950470

That ship looks rad. But it doesn't look like a spaceship. I wish people who are good at designing airplanes would just do that instead of drawing a plane and calling it a spaceship.

>>253931131
You better fucking believe it's the BC-304 Daedalus.
The progression was the best in SG-1, starting out as children, eventually building armour against energy weapons, light space fighters, all the way up to intergalactic FTL cruisers equipped with some of the most beefy shit among any race.
>>253951496
Well I'm not disagreeing, maces in space can be useful.
>>253951303
Well they were designed to look as practical as possible, in stark contrast to the Covenant ships.
>>253942824
Everything is penis shaped.
>>253951417
To be fair, it is a Star Wars ship design.
>>253950398
I always liked how Human ships were essentially MAC guns with engines strapped to them.
Real bootstrap stuff.
>>253948907
>>253948771
Halo gets a whole lot of points for the MAC attached to everything, the big ships and stations are really just 1km+ cannons with an engine.
If you have a shitload of energy generation it's probably the best sort of firepower available, just throw a few tonnes of depleted uranium at 10% of the speed of light and you won't have many survivors.
Best warp/ftl effects?
>>253947449
>>253948049
Why exactly did they think it was a good idea to only bring one squad of marines, especially if they knew they might face combat?
>>253951637
And they did all by stealing tech from every other race all the while criticising the goa'uld as parasites who steal tech from other races.
I forgot what this game is about but I love the art.
>>253941529
me and a friend were LS roaming and jumped a dude using a rifter, RIP
>>253952591
Humanity will eventually advance, though. The Goa'uld had their shit for thousands of years and went nowhere because cultural and technological stagnation suited them just fine
>>253951209
Always loved their design philosophy.
However I had to pretend that the command bridge is actually in the center of the ship, protected by layers of hull.
Anyways, do you guys accept original ship constructs donut steel?
>>253952591
Hardly any of it was stolen, most of the important stuff was traded or gifted to humanity (hyperdrive, efficient sublight engines, trinium).
Even the stuff that was directly stolen (gliders) couldn't be used since Apophis wasn't a complete idiot.
>>253952292
Warping a huge fleet along with a Titan simultaneously in Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion is seriously cool to watch.

>>253952284
Someone crunched the numbers on how powerful the Super Mac Guns are, and apparently each shot puts out about 51.6 gigatons of TNT, which is a fairly ridiculous number.
>>253953549

The wiki says that both of those ships are way smaller than depicted on that chart, at about 3,000m or so instead of 28,000m, so I don't know what's really going on.
>>253955869

>You will never make cool looking ships in GalCiv II
>>253960652
Well one was self-destructed by the original captain, and the other was lying in a crater for ten thousand years and was barely worth the metal in its hull by the time anyone dug it up again.
Given how powerful the Orion was it would have been pretty bad storytelling to have it conveniently appear and beat the shit out of every Hive that dares touch a human ever again, I think it was just written in so they could show off what Ancient fleets would have looked like without actually having super powerful weaponry lying around.

I started to get into Universe, I persevered with being a fan of the first two series so I was a bit pissed off when they killed it.

Nope, it's flawed at the foundations.
The mission system, the prototyping system, the new research system and the new fleet system are all completely flawed.
They what we all thought was a good game covered in shit, but when they cleared all that shit away, it revealed a core of more shit.
>>253966503
Did they fix the AI? I haven't had the patience to check whether the AI can play Hivers or Loa without imploding.
Mostly I haven't had the patience. Turns take too long to cycle, and my computer tries to cook itself to death while playing.
