Yes, I'm a definite light weight. My wife constantly tells me I'm a cheap date, especially when it's almost midnight after a long day of work.

Glad I could entertain you for a bit.

Couldn't get this nice background to work:)

You are gonna export these so the rest of us can have them right? These are awesome!

Cool I like on the one ship is half launched!

I am actually planning to put together a full ship pack of all my signature warships for download. I want to wait though until I know the next update wont break them. As it stands fright now with testing my ships on the game map they are the most powerful ships. I have two Large Carriers, one super large battleship, one large battleship, large destroyer, one medium cruiser and a medium frigate. I plan to include small fighters and some bombers to round it all out. No tiny ships at all. 

Will post pictures of my frigate and cruiser later. I affectionately call them Hammer and Anvil.

Excellent! I hope more people will do this! I'm going to make a few technology/improvement/ship component mod packs, I might have to tailor one to your ships!

My Heavy Cruiser Coven.  Armed with my latest turrets and what will be carrier pods.  I love the ship builder, so much better than GC2's , by the time they finish with it, I'd consider it alone worth my investment.

Awesome ED!!

Thank you

Here are a few of mine:

And this is a variation on a more conventional design:

Now let's go conquer something.

those are cool

Very nice.

All these ships are awesome!  Can ships only be painted blue and grey?  Are they going to add the ability to paint your ships whatever colors you want? 

As far as I know (and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong), the plan is to allow custom colors, different levels of specularity (matte/gloss), and many other aesthetic options. Those features are just not in yet--but they are much anticipated

I cheated on this, it is a transport modified to carry dropships

Just as we had in GC2, we will have feature to chose our own ship colors. The feature just hasn't been added yet.

At present you can use all parts from each faction and they will be textured depending on the faction you choose. I suspect that we will have more control of this ability at least through a modded environment where we may add our own textures, but I'm just speculating. I think that has been mentioned.

 I see you guys have been busy. Good Job on those Ships!

Here are some new custom ships I did over the last two weeks.

Cardassian Galor Class.

Star Fleet Excelsior Class.

USS Ares Luna Class Pre TOS, Inspired by Star Trek Axanar fan film.

USS Ahwahanee, Cheyene Class Superscout, TNG concept.

Nice stuff Rand Johnson.

I noticed that you don't have a thumbnail of the ship in your build menu. If you want to get that to show up I find that if you redesign the ships by saying use design then just save it a bunch of times it will eventually show up, then I delete the other copies.

No thumbs because I took screenshots while still in ship designer screen and ones that look missing are there, just very small. This will all be fixed.

That's good to know. Thanks, because its a little annoying, but only a little. BTW, I think in the stream they said the system would automatically upgrade your custom ships, but I haven't seen that happen. Is it supposed to or was that a misstatement?

They will upgrade automatically if you create a blue print for your ships. Your custom designs do not have a blue-print associated with them at the moment. Not sure if they are implementing this for the general user or if it to those that wish to play with the xml. I think they commented on Modders being able to do it.

Thanks, Parrottmath. I was a bit confused on that point.
