Personalized Ship

[Tenebrous Pirate]

Ok, so I severely doubt that I will get this wish granted, but I totally want to wish for a ship like this...but it would totally kick ass! ;-)

Tenebrous Marauder
Hull: 12
Armor: 4
Engines: 48
Sails: 24
Crew: 50
Cargo: 50
Guns: 32
Torps: 4

Buyable only at high level stardocks, possibly only during booming stardock rumors
.
Unlocked by completing the "Hit and Run" achievement on Insane difficulty.

Hit and Run Achievement
Defeat 50+ AND escape from 50+ bounty hunters or pirates, who are higher level than you, in space combat, while you are a wanted criminal.

So, what do you think? :-D

Not bad - a ship designed for piracy in the extreme.

You know if it is a custom Cadar ship, you'd have the guns and torps numbers reversed

[Cory Trese]

post custom ships to this thread, i will add them to the hoper of seed designs. i use a mutator to create sets of ship designs and prices that are eventually selected down to the set used in game. I'm more than happy to take input

[boeu]

Is there any other ships with 180 or higher cargo other than the frontier freighter??

[Tenebrous Pirate]

The hyper freighter is the only one with 180+ cargo that I am aware of. The pirate transport follows with 125 cargo.

[boeu]

Ah well. Ill stick to my frontier freighters then

I'm all over it. I'll even try for some concept ships that aren't combat based!

Stubborn Mule
(for the trader that really just doesn't want to fight and doesn't care how slow he goes)
Hull: 44
Armor: 20
Engines: 36
Sails: 44
Crew: 200
Cargo: 200
Guns: 0
Torps: 0


Space Swallow
(this is a reference to some certain coconut-carrying swallows)
Hull: 6
Armor: 2
Engines: 18
Sails: 18
Crew: 20
Cargo: 80
Guns: 0
Torps: 0

Hornet Class
(small, fragile, but one heck of a sting!)
Hull: 8
Armor: 4
Engines: 16
Sails: 48
Crew: 30
Cargo: 30
Guns: 4
Torps: 24

Fallen Dreadnought
(hybrid of the concepts of the Fallen Cruiser and a Dreadnought)
Hull: 44
Armor: 20
Engines: 45
Sails: 45
Crew: 125
Cargo: 125
Guns: 30
Torps: 30

I'm doing well with a Pride of Rychart with a water tank. 65 tons of artifacts isn't a bad drop.
I'm up over 3 million spacebucks on Crazy with my Smuggler. He's level 40 and looking to make it to retirement without chapping any factions. So far, so good. It's amazing how profitable playing it totally safe is in this game.

How about:
Fallen Angel

A powerful ship that very few captains have the pleasure of using.

Hull: 100
Armor: 50
Engines: 200
Sails: 200
Crew: 245
Cargo: 250
Guns: 100
Torps: 45
Speed: Very Fast
Agility: Fast

Only available after getting the following award:
Fallen angel

Achieve the lowest level of rep with a faction in less than five years after being a star hero with them. (Crazy)

After that it does not appear in shops, instead it is randomly found flying about the quadrant and must be captured.

[Tenebrous Pirate]

Yeah, to get a fast speed and quick agility with 100 hull, you would need 200 engines and sails, lol!

[sgtcookie]

Would you? Ok, I will change that then.

[oldalchemist]

Maybe an expansion for ship improvements would be a better option.

Once I get a chassis I like and put 6 improvements on it, the ship building part of the game is pretty much over. In the early game, building your ship is awesome. In the late game, you just fix solar sails.

Maybe my Mechanical Officer should be suggesting that it's time for a new ship because this one is just too beat up to fly. Either that, or there should be somewhat expensive total overhauls available at better stardocks.
