what are your favourite ship designs?
are there any games with a lot of variety of styles?
I like Rebel Galaxy
>>386270115
Homeworld 1-2 have a shit ton of cool designs
>>386271503
Cataclysm is best.
Sins of a Solar Empire had excellent design, especially the Titan units. Shame it's an RTS. I would pay good money for an X type game in the Sins universe.
>>386271703
which is the best X game?
I tried one once, but it started me just in the middle of space and I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing
>>386270115
Riftborn we're my favorite ship designs. United Empire was my favorite faction to play as though. Humanity first.
>>386271787
X3 and it's expansions are usually considered to be the pinnacle.
Rebirth had a rocky start and gets a bad rep, but Egosoft really fixed it up in the expansion.
>>386270115
The fact that there hasn't been a space game in this style is criminal.
>>386270115
>>386270115
Riftborn had the most lit designs
the glowy digital people look cool too
>>386270115
Starsector has some of my favorite ships, some of them are pure sex.
Its got such a good variety of ships too
>>386270115
T O W E R S H I P S
>>386272550
My favourite is the UE carrier.
What games have vertical ship designs?
>>386272921
Talking about carriers, did they implement fighters and bombers yet or are carriers still just bigger combat ships
>>386273030
Next patch.
>>386272983
H O M E W O R L D
>>386270115
The Event Horizon
>>386272983
Homeworld you nigger.
What are some games that take place on space ships? Preferably non-linear (not open world, but metroidvania like)
>>386272983
Killzone
>>386272983
literally homeworld is the only one I really ever think of.
Eve has some big ones, But they always feel "big" rather than "tall". I think Star Ctizen has one tall one.
Babylon 5 (TV show though) has some vertical ships.
>>386273347
System Shock(s), and Prey if you include space-stations.
>>386273347
it's small, but you can run around your ship in Mass Effect.
>>386270115
Galactic Civilizations III.
You can create any ship you want and if you're too lazy for that the steam work shop is filled with ships from Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Babylon 5, Animoo, and just cool looking custom stuff.
>>386270115
>Space ship has horizontal decks instead of vertical ones
Literal pleb tier
>>386273347
Dead Space, but it's divided up into chapters. You do revisit areas, though.
>>386272195
Outlaw star was for patricians. Too bad it doesnt go too far.
>>386273753
>spaceship has wings, but has ability to fly in an atmospheres
>>386273895
*hasn't
>>386270115
I love this thing
"[...]every surface infested with topography. Armor plating would hide most of it prior to deployment, of course. Ribbons of piping and conduit, ammunition reservoirs and shark-toothed rows of radiator fins— all to disappear beneath smooth reflective shielding. Only a few island landmarks would rise above that surface: comm ports, thrust nozzles, targeting arrays. And gun ports, of course. These things spat fire and brimstone from a half-dozen mouths apiece."
>spaceship flying grapple claw
>>386274540
>>386270115
the ark designs in ES2 are absolutely kino. destroying them feels so fucking satisfying and their wreckages stick around on the main map
>>386274916
This looks absolutely retarded. What even is that?
>>386274540
>Children of a dead Earth
Excellent taste.

Don't mind me, just posting the best space superiority fighter ever conceived. Aries faggots need not apply.
>>386275134

>>386275134
It's dune mister underage
I love the Federal Corvette. I wish FDev would really expand on multi-crew options so it could feel like captaining a real battleship.
>>386275704
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
>>386275604
The size of those ships are ridiculous. Imagine the size of that dock when it was still whole.
Besides that, does anyone have the homeworld fleet webms?
The attached image is classified level Rho.
>>386275728
can you actually get different types of ship in elite? literally every screenshot i see of that game it's the exact same cockpit everyone is using
>tfw like homeworld so far but it's getting hard
so i literally need to play the entire campaign using my scavengers to capture enemy ships? i'm on the mission where my ships can only move whilst inside a dust cloud and i'm finding it hard to handle
>>386275718
You're not gonna tell me there's people that think that looks good?
Granted, it's good artwork but the design itself is shit
>>386274916
I love Chris Foss's artstyle/design philosophy with his space craft. Amazing shit.
>>386275869
as far as I can work out, it's because they based it on the original game's ships... which were little more than slightly off-centre geometric shapes
>>386276012
>>386272756
I like a lot of Starsector designs overall, but some of the ships are too "busy." I think it was mentioned on the devblog that some ships were going to get redesigned art that cuts down on the bits and gubbins.
>>386275979
it looks spectacular.
>>386275979
I literally masturbate to it
>>386275704
Let's try that one again.
BEST SPACE SUPERIORITY
ARES AND ERINYES FAGGOTS ARE FAGGOTS
>>386276101
a e s t h e t i c
>>386275869
Each ship belongs to a manufacturer and most ships from the same manufacturer will have the same cockpit, most people use ships from one of the manufacturers so half the screenshots have identical cockpits. Theres a fairly wide selection but tbqh you probably won't use most of them because you'll only ever really use the best multirole for your price point or the best combat ship for your price point.
Elite Dangerous needs a lot of work dong,
I've always liked the teladi designs in X2. Shame they ruined it all with x3
>>386275604
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btXnl7AGFg0
>>386275728
I bet you like Blue Planet designs too, you sleek-fucking faggot.
>>386275869
Yeah, there's something like 30 different ships you can get that all have different pros and cons. The cockpits of each ship are pretty distinct, but the HUD stays the same so that's probably what has you confused. There's also fighters that you can deploy from some of the larger ships (unfortunately you can only deploy 2 at once right now and actually getting a ship that supports fighter bays takes a shit ton of grinding).
>guys, what if our ship is just one long gun barrell
How are the chances that x4 will be good again?
>>386276536
Not entirely unrealistic, considering we've done it with the a10
Is there such a thing as something like the X series that involves exploration, trading, and dogfighting combat, but takes place mostly or entirely within the atmosphere of one planet? Like with fantasy airships maybe. I like the concept of the games but I find deep space itself to be really boring as a setting.
>>386276852
there's one where you're in a Jupiter dome, but I forgot the name
>>386271787
X3AP, the Litcube Universe mod is the best for any X game for a number of objective reasons (performance improvements for one which make the game smooth as silk at any scale) but you'll probably want to screw around in vanilla for a bit before trying any mods.
>>386270115
My favorites are old frigates that CCP has made retarded since. CCP are dicks.
I always loved the Covenant ship designs, I'm not knowledgeable enough about space physics or whatever to interpret whether or not they're practical but they're just so big and sexy.

Sasuga.
for some reason my brain just thinks all the Destiny ships look the same.
> middle main-body, wing bits.
>>386276012
I love the Adder in E:D, such a comfy little ship.
I have shit taste and my favorite space ship designs are "dude what if we took the navy and put it in space"
I love playing this slow behemoth. The thing spits out dakka like there's no tomorrow.
I fucking loved the Riftborn designs, and the imposing designs on all the Vodyani ships.
Amplitude is bretty gud at art design
>>386276012
Elite is so fucking boring with its designs.
>no modernised NASA space shuttle aesthetic
>hell, no actual NASA space shuttle flights any more
>or Concorde
>or WW1 bi-planes
this is all disappointing
>>386279812
Because the ships in Destiny were made by making a handful of main body types, and a bunch of random tech parts. Throw all that into a blender to randomly kitbash together ships. Weapons and Armor were done the same way, but as the game progressed they added in more body models to keep things varied. I don't think they ever made more ship bodies though.
>>386280468
I'm surprised the NASA aesthetic isn't more popular.
>>386280231 is about the only thing that comes to mind, and that's only one faction
>>386280087
forgot my image
Anything with lots of rough sides and useless shit stuck on, very aesthetic
Starsector and its mods have a lot of nice ship designs
accept no substitutes
>>386273347
Can't you go onto space station in X: Rebirth? Did they improve it at all?
>>386280808
I like the Viper, some of the others are a bit too wide though
>>386281158
You can,can even go into ships.They didn't
>>386281061
I want to fuck that shipright in the middle
>shipping contains on the outside
this
especially in games where attacking a cargo ship makes them jettison all the cargo-containers so you can scoop it up
>>386281390
They did improve the overall game with Home of Light, just not that aspect.
>>386281545

>>386276536
Most of dreadnought's ships lack much identity but there are some good ones in there.
Now if only they fixed the FUCKING MATCHMAKING the game would be really bretty gud.

Homeworld collection includes the originals, sperg. Also, nothing wrong with HW2.
>>386270115
>>386282986
Deserts of Kharak was great. Just way too short and support for it died.
>>386282850
They fixed it mostly, they got formations working again in both HW1 and 2.
>>386283076
How well did it sell?
>>386283317
Not well
Gearbox will probably go bankrupt before we get Homeworld 3: the Badass Adventure

There was this weird browser-based mmo called Pardus I used to play years ago. It was a little tile-based space game with user-created economy and user-ran bases. It had an interesting community from what I remember but I never really got that into it.
I liked the ship design though
>>386284406

>>386284665

Any of these games (Endless Space, Elite Dangerous) have a first person mode in which you can walk inside your ship etc?
That's the main feature that I want in a space game.
>>386284949
im probably going to get downvoted to oblivion but Star Citizen has what you're looking for.
>>386284949

no,there's occasional free trials that last a few days which is enough to experience everything
>>386284057
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.
You only get like 3 missions with those low-tech ships though, after that you find an alien ship, get sucked into a wormhole and the actual game begins.
>>386285016
Yeah I know it's the only game of this genre that I have.
>>386285078
Any other aside from these two? I also have the X series but I was looking for something less dated.
Hell, even the shit ship interior in Star Trek Online was enough to satisfy me, why can't developers understand that this is soemthing necessary in space games?
>you'll never have your own cozy spaceship and deliver goods between space elevators to make a living

It got good contrast with the other two manufacturers; which uses practical Russian and sleek Japanese spaceship aesthetic.

Then how does it unload? It releases the magnets or whatever and the cargo just drifts away into space?

>>386293376
It's still the game re-released to work on current systems, there's probably some other kind of fuckery behind the scenes, otherwise they would've just released the "old" game in the homeworld remastered collection since they clearly have the means to do that.
And I say this because they gave away both the old and remastered games in it, no reasons not to include this one at the very least as it was back then if there weren't troubles with something else.
>>386292976
Yeah I played the Homeworld mod which is super fucking satisfying with the shows voices but man just thinking about a full on game that follows the enitirety of the Galatica storyline spanning from the first Cylon War all the way to the exodus with a rewritten ending and ship preservation throughout would be so fucking choice.

Only thing I don't like about the Halcyon design is the bridge is so fucking exposed, one well placed shot or a fighter rams it and the ship is disabled.
>>386293532
I'd still take the PoA over the other ships. She was upgraded so the MAC could fire 3 shots before needing to recharge fully, making CCS cruisers easy to deal with.
>>386294342
If it makes you feel any better, the covenant think the exact same thing about all human ships.
I think it's explained as a naval hold over. Humanity hasn't been cruising around in space for nearly as long as the covenant.

>>386294751
Star Trek has the same issue with every ship design, the bridge is exposed and can be easily targeted. In one episode of Enterprise the bridge is focus-fired and breached, venting the bridge crew into space and disabling the ship.
>>386295003

>>386297438
Thats just to research skills but not acquiring funds to buy them and their weapons and tanking them etc
Just not worth it, I'll just admire their designs

>shrugging off MAC rounds
depends on the MAC firing at it, the frigates and destroyers barely damage their shields but cruisers/heavy-cruisers can take out covvie ships easily. Then there's the Super MAC which takes out super-carriers with one shot.
Whale ship
Hel, Naglfar, Ragnarok. Minmatar's big ships have some kind of "architecture" charm

Minmatar ships are really hit or mess and moreso than Gallente, I really only like their large vessels, the bulkiest looking, and Hel and Nidhogger only from that list.

This may be a tad off-topic, but how "ship-like" does the recent Prey feel?
>>386298151
It feels like a space station

>If it makes you feel any better, the covenant think the exact same thing about all human ships.
The Humans thought that you're thinking. The Covenant thought they just had balls of steel and were jelly as fuck.

And keyes solo killing 4 fucking covie ships himself.
As bad as the writing is in the halo books, I still enjoy reading that segment
>>386293712
Yeah, no.
These are scary looking
>>386297710
Also humanity has space nukes that can fuck up an entire planet

Triple rep myrm was so much fun back in the day. It used to be awesome playing the bait.
This Lancaster looking ship is fun to fly
Also I fucking love Gallente station designs too
Did any of the early access space games end up being worthwhile?
>>386276536
It's been done

I still have hope forStar Citizen. I've just given up expecting anything to happen with it anytime soon.
>>386270115
Most of the caps in EVE are pretty well done, my favorite is the Nidgoggur
