As you approach the beacon, you find yourself behind a parked mantis ship. You consider jumping away before they notice you, only to find weapons firing at you! The mantis reconfigured their ship to fly and shoot backwards!

Outside the protective nebula, this slug crew used damaged ship parts and a repainted hull to hide among the mantis as they seek revenge.

Its signature weapon was supposed to be a Freeze Ray, a beam that crystallized rooms that it hit. Unfortunately, those don't work. Double-unfortunately, I had already made the art before discovering this.

The lesson is to always test weapons before drawing them.

The other also happens to be the Osprey, which means the Federation (frigate?) will have to be longer than the Fed cruisers.

I do not quite buy it that 1 of the two fleetfed ships is the osprey. I mean if it is, you got a pair of these long range lasers that ignore shields that could probably destroy the rebel flagship in just a single blow combined.
On top of that it's description mentions how it is brand new, I doubt the last federation fleet the same one that lasted for awhile has more then a bakers dozen.


Osprey miniship art (resized a lil to match the length of the fed cruiser art length) compared to unknown federation cruiser...

Notice how none of the details carry over AT ALL.

I am not trying to put a damper on your pirade, but it isn't an exact match, not by a long shot. Even the estimated front looks different. as well as the bridge, the mid section, and vaguely the engines. (looks like a 4 exhaust engine to me on the fedcruiser)

However that isn't stopping me from going to replicate both =P

Here's also Xlander's reskin for me a long time ago



Would it be possible if someone could combine the colourscheme of the recoloured rebel ship with the Arcadian Fighter? Or similar to Xlander's reskin but more sleeker, something of a stealth fighter?

I'm interested in making a federation ship-pack (I know its been down many times), but in a more complete manner (i.e. enemy fighters as well as playable versions)
