Description Some model updates: they're coming along nicely now.

The Valiant, Lancer, and Tora class ships, are all on patrol and respond to any distress call in range.

The Valiant (top) is the most common ship found in NSL space. Designed to be easily produced and modified; it remains one of the most balanced ships produced by the NSL. Average voyage is 4 months, these ships are commonly on border patrol and long haul shipping escort missions.

Armaments are varied, and differ from ship to ship, however they all have a large AntiProton cannon, that takes up the front of the ship and is integrated into the main engine assembly.

These ships are often commissioned by mid level influence families and clans, to secure there holdings in space. As a favored private and government vessel the Valiant is almost ubiquitous in NSL space.

The lancer (middle) is odd for most NSL ships. Originally a frame built around an experimental antiproton cannon now found in almost all NSL ships, the Lancer was surprisingly successful in the field during the EA war. proven its worth more were made, however the design was lacking in armor and such lacks protection.

It does bring a heavy forward payload to a fight, and in a surprisingly nimble package. power durations and rage however limit the lancer to a completely support role. alone a lancer would almost always be out matched in battle with a comparable sized ship, together with a valiant or tora however and it could turn the tide.

The Tora (bottom) is the patrol boat found in solar systems tending to stations and short range transports. these ships have a menacing punch but can not sustain a prolonged engagement due to limited ammunition reserves. The Tora does have thick armor and have been know to act as shields to fleeing transports in a losing battle with raiders

Tora class ships are often commissioned by holdership planets and independent stations to augment there satilite defense.

Looks good, would love to run some of the sketchup models people have done for the verse through my rendering pipeline.

Is it just me or do the Storm Crow and the Grackle look like the vipers from Battlestar Galatica? Also I have a bit of a conundrom and I'd like you to answer it (since your good at designing ships). If a spaceship that carries fighters is 600 meters long and 200 meters wide, and the fighters look like viper mark II's and are 8 meters long and 6 meters wide, how many fighters do you think it could carry? If it was a kilometer long?

Another great round of ships. I don't know how I missed them when they were first posted. Excellent job on these.

Would love to see these in a space picture.

Their very original and the only thing i would like to see more of, is more of them.
Give me a carrier a battle ship and the dreaded dreadnought!

Have you considered trying to do renders of these?

WOWandWAS In reply to Reactor-Axe-Man [2010-05-15 19:05:22 +0000 UTC]

eventually yes. I just need to find a good rendering tool, ive been using indigo free but the pro version is prohibitively expensive, and Kethry(cant remember how to spell it) likes to give me headaches....

Im going to try light wave next.

asaenvolk [2010-05-15 02:20:58 +0000 UTC]

Is that a launch pad on the back of the Valiant? Though I do like the look of the lancer it looks to be a one trick peony, but hey massive forward firepower can be a good trick to have around.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

WOWandWAS In reply to asaenvolk [2010-05-15 04:36:51 +0000 UTC]

yes, there is a small bay that can hold one mech and one fighter. it has a large deck and a few anchor points on it for mechs to act as fixed turrets if needed.

Unlimitedguy [2010-05-15 00:53:28 +0000 UTC]

exceptional.
one thing though, i think they would look a lot better with a color scheme fitting a spaceships hull. I love the designs, maybe if you put them on the warehouse i can show you what I mean? again, great work

WOWandWAS In reply to Unlimitedguy [2010-05-15 04:38:53 +0000 UTC]

thanks^^ the color theme is intentional for several reasons. as of now i don't plan on changing them. I will eventually be adding textures, right now its just flat colors because i haven't made the textures yet.

wow the Lancer must really pack a punch when it gets in range. Is two gold rods the main gun the 'antiproton cannon' or is it that longer rod with the black running down the middle? Also the two twin cannons on ether side must make this ship almost a one hit knock out if all the cannons where to fire at one point. Over all, based on what you said, I would always have at lest two Lancers in my fleet at all times.

WOWandWAS In reply to sumcoolguy [2010-05-14 22:57:47 +0000 UTC]

its the long one. and yeah it can usually puncha good hole through a line of corvette ships, problem is it cant do it alot, given how little ammo it has on board.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

sumcoolguy In reply to WOWandWAS [2010-05-15 00:09:00 +0000 UTC]

ya true with the small main structure and the antiproton cannon must take almost all of the space. That certainly leaves little space for ammo.

eh but with the few rounds it does have it seams that the Lancer could possibly, if in the right position, disable even a heavy courser or something in one to two shots from all the cannons.
