So much speculations...

Alright minor spoilers:

1. There will be 4 >3 000 m ship classes (largerst one- 3500 meters long) in the Tiigran Navy, all others will be 3 km or less (starting from 18-20 meter fighters, through 70.7 meter heavy bombers and gunships that will be flyable and 130 meter cutters, which will be the link between strike craft and capships. Anything bigger, and all the specs remain a mistery on HLP, at least for now ).

2. The Shivans will have far more EVIL ships (such as the Gorgon and subspace rift armed Lamia seen on screenshots) than those met in FS 2, and I have a good story to explain why they didn't appear earlier.

3. And the 80 juggs are only part of the Shivan fleet, as most people probably assume

4. Finally- the Tiigran-Merisst ship quality (not uber-bbqfullness or numbers- that's the Shivan school of fighting, but rather good and balanced design without going to any extremes), and something not known much in the FS Universe called tactics is their way to counter armies of juggs. (just in case anyone asks how they manage to fight a war with the Shivans without being owned in 48 hours)

This will be the 'Destroyer escort', or De class. It's called the T-MDe Iwakuni, and it'll be the eyes and ears of the heavier capships (*cough*huge sensors on nose*cough*). It is also armed almost like a cruiser, so it can escort convoys and perform lighter strikes. The hull is 230 meters long, just over 290 m including antennas...

Next update next week I guess

And for every 2-3 ships done, only 1 makes it into the thread

For anyone who didn't notice, we now have a forum on Freespacemods.net.

Woops.

That name's a bit of a mouthful. And did you really use the word 'Tiigran' to describe a feline race?

No. They look like squid.

[General Battuta]

Hey, sweet! That's awesome. My opinion is much improved.

There really aren't enough squid in science fiction.

I say that mostly because the intelligence of the octopus is commonly extolled by biologists, and it seems reasonable that some form of cephalopod might achieve starfaring capability somewhere.

There was a Stephen Baxter story about uplifted squid that was quite good.

Yeah, I'm sure...




The T-MB Cataphract is a light bomber based on the Hussar, I'll post another screen when it's finished (probably tomorrow)...
And the introduction chapter is slowly getting closer to being released.

[Titan]

can't wait for the iceni thing to be released.

[BengalTiger]

Hope you like it...

And now for the bigger ships...
update coming.

[blowfish]

And now for the bigger ships...

Well then maybe I'll get something to turret...

Yes, I am a lazy bum, just remind me to work on this every once in a while.

The title of this thread REALLY needs to be changed.

On another note, cool models.

It's coming your way at a high rate of speed, just allow Warp Shadow to finish texturing it.
PS- check our forum, team, the Cataphract will be available today.

Bombs that launch in groups of 3 (double firing mode here), they'll be used for killing subsystems, and they launch in a swarm to give a larger chance of hitting.



The small Tiigran General Purpose bomb. These launch in groups of 2, since they are intended to be used against capships that aren't fully disarmed. I'll need to work on the trail, because too many weapons use that one.



And a salvo of 3 flux guns.


How do you like it?

PS. If you don't like the glows, fine, I don't either- they're still worse than those of the Hussar and Sipahi, but I'm working on it.

You need a weapons effects maker. The flamethrower looks kind of not like a flamethrower. A few original effects will do their job nicely.
