I'm excited to announce the ship viewer, which contains most of the ships we've developed so far. It allows you to zoom in, rotate, and examine the ship in full detail if you like. Resolutions over 2.5K, and high res textures. You can download it here, or click on the image below: I'd like the community here to take a screenshot of their favorite ship/angle with the program and post it here! There is also a lower res online version of the viewer, with just a few ships to look at here.
There's too many ships I like here. I can't pick them all but since I'd probably start with that Mendi ship (and I like the looks!) I took two shots of it.
when looking at the puritan (sol/class2), there seems to be something wrong with the engines and some lights. They hang somewhere above the spacecraft, but are not attached to it. But, all in all it is just beautiful looking at this
Going to have to download this tonight - if I can. Those pictures look amazing and I want to run a few sets up on my desktop as a screensaver.
The Interdictor TYPE II. Rotating it just right, you can get good reflections off the tentacle patterns on the wings.
I have a thing for this hive creature. From this angle it almost seems like its looking at you, and it just might be friendly lol
Indeed there are a few that have the engines misplaced somewhat. The ships are all 'modular', as in the varieties of weapons, engines and sensors are actually visibly distinct, so you can actually tell when a Type II ship for example, has a different engine than a Type I. In this viewer, the engines are mounted, but the weapons and sensors were not (it would make the downloadable program even larger in size, and I wanted to keep it at 500k).
I could post the bigger cruiser, but I think even this class 2 maalaketh ship is nice. I cropped/sharpened/brightened the image however.
I've taken a liking to the industrial-looking Gorshkov Frigate (Class IV). The type 2 or 3 (I forget) the one with the Russian Star and red lines is my personal favorite.
This would be my starter ship. In a way, it looks fast, especially from the rear. Reminds me of a drag racer (don't ask why)
Now that I can view/rotate the ships up close, I have a few favorites. I picked one sol and one genari: The kumano which would be my goal to get to for sol The guardian which is also a class 6 light cruiser which would be my genari goal
Destroyer: Leningrad (Specifically my favorite being the blue or red one type II & III) is my current favorite. It looks brutal and very paladin-like.
The greenskin StarFire Heavy Cruiser. I doubt I'll ever level up high enough for this ship but this is my pick right now.
I wish we could have a varied selection of starfields or planets in the background like I've seen in the game screenshots. My starter ship would definitely be the Agile Flyer.
