Starmade: WSAD Server, Month 1 Roundup

Bobb (the guy building the Enterprise the first Starmade post) and I have been busy on the WSAD Starmade server. I finally transferred the server to him, and he started his second "overly-ambitious project". Bobb can't do anything small. It's big or go home. Can't deny the results though...

The Enterprise NC1701-D (Galaxy Class Enterprise) exterior is about 90% complete. It's 1:1 scale. and dominates everything around it in terms of size. Check the shop in the image showing the underside

(has more views of each ship)

1:1 Enterprise NC1701-D
I've finished the Armageddon/Bhaalgorn. At a rough guesstimate using my eyechrometer, I'd say it ended up about 1:2 scale. Custom paintjob because I felt the yellow hull didn't match the original Armageddon, and the white-blood paintscheme of the Bhaalgorn is a bit hard to pull off. The Armageddon is about 50% combat worthy at the moment. The main cannons do 600 damage and the secondaries do 400. The antimatter cannon blocks for the primaries run the full length of the ship. It also has two powerful power drain beams (because of the Bhaalgorn's neuting role in EVE), but because of mechanics and balancing issues these don't function that well at the moment.


Then I started a Tempest but got bored and made a Drake instead:

Bobb meanwhile made the Defiant...
 
... and fixed the server so that pirates now spawn properly. The problem is that you can enable the pirates to use any ship you have saved in the catalogue. Thus, the buggers would regularly interrupt building sessions in ships designed purely for combat (mostly guns, no aesthetics). This lead to some rebuilding/re-buying....
