here is a concept for a really "serious" order dreadnought / station.
this is a space station and a dreadnought model. - i have given up the sunsail, as it was too controversial. - instead it features three massive impulse engines.
it is still located in the drydock; - a station build only to maintain and construct this ship. the station contains out of three larger sections - one pyramid section, a flat pyramid section and a large biodome.
additionally to the dreadnought itself - i have also attached a pair of detachable extra engines ( sort of engines that can be attached to the ship to move it without powering up the ships reactor itself )
the whole dreadnought is rediculously detailed ( for a ship ) - it might not look like it - but there are really many details attached to it. - there is also the order symbol replacing the liberty navy symbol ( or rather - its put in the place where the navy put its star ( well, whatever, you know what i mean ) )
the whole ship is roughly twice orsis length ( that is the length of a juggernaut ) - the whole station is around as long as the juggernaut and three times as wide, ( in other words - probably one of the largest stations around.
this thread is mainly meant for the order to discuss changes etc.
well - a pyramid structure is only sort of taking the station type of stations like "westpoint" a bit further. - ( massive mid section - and a spherical top / bottom section. - attaching a pyradmid like building on the massive bases is simple and can fit to FL, i think - but its no problem to simply use the default station parts.
the eye of ra. - yes.. it may not be best - but such little details / symbols CAN be quite exciting on a ship. - especially when its a unique ship NOT used by players but only as a station.
when every other ship had it - it would be a bit too much - but if only one NPC ship has it - i think its more beneficial than detrimental - but its mostly up to the order then. - takes a second to remove it.
edit: i should say there - the order has no own design.
their fighters and warships are liberty based. - the egyptian style is not really "order" but its as good as any other design for that matter.
polycount is not too high - i said its details are sometimes a bit much. - but that means that i won t exceed something like 14.000 ( which is good for that matter. - ships like a vanilla bretonian battleship have roughly 9000 )
some ships have a lot more ( zoner juggernaut, due to its tripple biodomes )
what "freezes" the game or makes it choppy is mostly the skin - as long as the skin is somthing like 1mb or lower - its never a real problem.
It's amazing Jinx,I love it. :D
About pyramid,I don't care will it stay or will it be replaced with something else.
The dread looks amazing,so if pyramid doesn't fit it or it will cause some problems replace it.
Allthough it loks cool,because it's not pure pyramid shape.
