singleplayer ship building game, no story yet, all you do is kill enemy ships and upgrade your ship/buy additional ships
damage to the ships is as you see it, wherever you get hit, that part of the ship stops functioning. they destroyed your shield generators? well you should have built hull in front of them
who's ready to make a klingon/cardassian fleet?

Here's my attempt at a klingon warbird
costs a bit too much for what it's worth, but the firepower is good
ships are actually saved as images, so you can just download it from here and put it in your game

>The use of the term "Warbird" in relation to the Klingons, as used in "Broken Bow", was a writer's error. Soon after the episode's production, Brannon Braga stated, "We made one mistake where in the pilot we called the Klingons' ships Warbirds, when in fact the Romulans use Warbirds and Klingons use the Bird-of-Prey. There was nothing we could do about it, and I'm sure we're going to get a lot of angry fans. But it was an honest mistake."
Not really no. It was a case of writers being retards and JewJew Trek called them Warbirds as well and we all know how much he cares for the lore.

Also want to add Brannon Braga is double retarded. Birds of Prey are often their raider line of ships. Klingons use Attack/Battlecruisers as well. He should be crucified for such an oversight.

updated model
works pretty well
but against elite tier ships, it gets outgunned
just ended up fighting an enterprise replica, the thing was constantly rotating to use shields that weren't downed yet. meanwhile i was left with a quarter of the ship and still shooting a few lasers at their shields/turrets
i probably could have taken out its engines, but i'd still get killed

latest design
as proof, the AI does a better job than me and beats the not-enterprise
i can't understand what the front of the ship is for though, it always gets blown up regardless of how much shields i throw on it. it would have been easier to just make the ship boomerang shaped

The episode with the Romulan captain trying to fuck Spock states that the Klingons and Romulans have some sort of tech-sharing treaty or similar. This is used to explain away the fact that they're reusing footage/the model for a Klingon warship.

>i can't understand what the front of the ship is for though,
Put the bridge in the back, the guns on the side, and load the front with tons of nothing.

>Put the bridge in the back, the guns on the side, and load the front with tons of nothing.
but then why do i even need the front
every battle it's gonna get destroyed, and then i waste money rebuilding it
there must be some purpose to it
d7d8d7 No.1704
>>1703
from memory alpha:
"The bulk of the ship's overall mass was incorporated in the aft section of the ship. The bridge module was located on a bulbous forward section, which was separated from the aft section by a relatively thin connective section that attached to and flared into the aft portion, which swept from the main body, forming wings. The wing-design was characterized by its multi-positioning for various flight modes."
so the front is where command is
but if shields fail, that piece can easily get blown off, and then shit gets fucked
so i have multiple bridges along the wings
in which case the front becomes useless

So I gave it a try. I played the mercenaries or whatever it's called mode. The 2D not allowing you to stack weapons and what-have-you was very limiting, and I quickly learned that targeting the power source killed every single ship I came up against. Not bad, but a little bare-bones. 6/10, because I think it has promise, but it needs a Z-axis of at least one more level.

tbh, it's the least limiting ship builder i've seen so far
istrolid is fairly similar, but you can't even rotate ship parts there
and as it is right now, if we had a z-axis the game would run horribly. put 2-3 big ships and you get framerate drops, add z-levels and you'll actually need a non-toaster

you can create the shape of the ship (just corridors) by loading a png
but i think pixels=real width and height, so you need to scale it down
once you do that, you might also want to fix any new symmetry issues

here's a working ship
extremely overpriced and inefficient, but it can beat the enterprise
realistically i should have made it half as big and just went with two ships instead, would have been cheaper
making video of example, will be done in about 20 minutes maybe

no wait, i was wrong, the galor class actually is bigger than the constellation
guess i just made it poorly, probably didn't need all that armor in the tail

This game is comfy. I just wish I wasn't horrible at designing ships. I took a stab at the Romulan Bird-of-Prey since it's my favorite ship. I tried to keep it (relatively) inexpensive while still capable of putting up a decent fight.
Three of them can fairly reliably take on the built-in constellation while costing about the same.
Frame included because I'm sure someone can make a more efficient or tougher one.

i meant circular shields, instead of an arc
more importantly they got rid of that space that the arc shields needed in the front, so now you can put them anywhere without issues
and they come in different sizes

Idea;
What if you just made your ship a spiral shape, with weapons and shields all along the outward-facing curvature of the spiral? As sections get destroyed, they expose fresh weapons and shields of the inner portions of the spiral.
