Show off your ship designs 2007!

Ship designs from around the world!

Last year, we had a thread in which people showed off some of the great ship designs they created with Galactic Civilizations II.

With the expansion pack adding so many new components and so much free form support, we'd love to see the cool things players create.

The cool thing in the expansion pack is now you can save your creations as templates and then assign the computer players to make use of those ships in various roles. Combined with the capability of creating your own custom opponents, now you can create your own sci-fi universe within GalCiv without modding.

Thingamabob, using imageshack (after the image has been uploaded) right click on the image and then left click share it. Left click the forums field and copy it (ctrl c) and then paste it (ctrl v) into the forums text field. At least that’s how I got it to work after many, many failed attempts. God it was embarrassing.

Pubmaster, are you going to be uploading those squid ships to the library? I hope you do because those would make a nice addition to the game.

Great job on the Brunai design. I was wondering if you used a RAW file for the texture, and if so, what program you used to generate it, or convert it. I've played around a little with the RAW converters I've found on the net, but they don't seem to like the weird size of the height map you need for CG2.

Is that your font, too? That looks very cool.

After seeing Kyro's addition of asteroids to the mix I had to try a rock-themed fleet.



City-style asteroid colony.



"Tower ship" miner. This one looks very cool hovering over asteroid fields, since the beam usually emanates straight down from the base of the tower.



Just a little orbital communications satellite with a defensive armament.



Base constructor platform. This was very fun to build.



Not entirely happy with this freighter. Has a nice look, but seems like a more traditional ship than the others, which have a more "built into the existing rock" feel to them.



A small ship frame strapped to a spaceborne rock. It probably give it all sorts of special surveying mineral harmonicisms and resonations. Or something.



I've always been bothered by the fact that these huge transports simply disappear after they land on an enemy planet. I suppose you could assume that they are immediately broken down into war-making equipment after landing, but I like this explanation better - the one-way trip Cataclysm Class troop transport. For when you want to make an entrance with a bang.

I like your asteroid colony. Very nice stuff. Yeah a troop transport like that would make a big impact.

haha...mod it so that can only do orbital bombardment.   

I need to get some shots of my ships up soon.

yea those asteroid ships do look pretty cool

also, how did you get those slits in some of the asteroids (they are visible on the colony ship and troop carrier)? is it just one of the textures on them?

That's just the way the asteroids are. You probably just don't notice it since they're so small in-game.

Love the Battlestar ship designs. Have you got them available for download? I didn't see anything in the metaverse like them and it would be great to have them.

I say the cyclon and colonial ships in the metaverse, but it looks like they need the collector's edition, which I don't have. Any BSG ships around that I can use without the collector's ed? Thanks.

The Battlestar ship that I have post here are my 2nd generation BSG fleet pack. The fleet is not available for download yet. I am working on the Cylon ship, when they’re completed I will send them to the library for download in about a week or two. The fleet pack will need DA, collectors and Omega Mod 2.0. Omega Mod 2.0 will have to be downloaded by a 3rd parity link because mod is about 49mb.

Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your ships--they're mazing. Unfortunately, I don't have the collector's edition, as it wasn't available here in Australia. Maybe I'll be able to find a copy somewhere--all the cool ships seem to need it.

This is the GSS Hevonacor Battle Cruiser I desinged for my AAR, For Gondacor. It will be showing up in the next installment, but I thought I would go ahead and post it here for all to see.
