It looks nice. Just two things I noticed, is that the main body is low compared to the bridge. With the bridge being so high I'd probably take the main body to 10,000. The second thing I noticed is that the FTL seems a little slow compared to top of the line. According the Three Galaxies book there are FTL drives that go up too 7+ light years per hour. I think I'd take it up to that level.

It is in the Three galaxies books. As for ships built with it that official, there are none. Due to the fact that there aren't any new Palladium books out there about Phase World that have been produced. Although Braden's is coming out. Hopefully it'll have some official material for some ships that use it. And actually I can see small ships using it. The USN have some small warships (Littoral) which will be able to motor along at over 40 knots. And we're talking ships that follow a simliar designing. Just my thought on it.

Stylish...Custom paint jobs for different Armoria captains/crews? Or even private citizen-sponsors?

Definitely things like family crests and logos and what-not, but I'm not sure whether a paint job would defeat the laser-resistant coating. Anyone know?

Should just burn the paint off and then the laser-resistant coating would take effect.

Besides...the Altess can afford to have robots (or people) on 24/7 duty, buffing and waxing the hulls...
TONGUE-cleaning if they're using prisoners....

True, and Shawn Merrow is probably right. You'd just need to have it repainted after battle. Come to think of it, the Altess probably do that anyway!

There's a fighter and a "battle carrier" on the way as part of Altess Armories as well....and I'm going to drop that bridge MDC like Aramanthus suggested.

Though Altess probably keep a backup racing yacht as an escape pod....

That sounds like an interesting NPC. As kids we created this hysterical recordings which followed a Character named Rockbottom! He was supposed to be a multimillionaire. It was quite humorous.

I'm glad to be of help El Magico! I'll keep trying to help out when I can.

I have a bounty hunter in my game who has appeared now and then. He is a Jannissary who ended up rifted to Phase World. He is working with a Canine species who reminds him of the dog boys back home. He is quite well paid and travels around in a suped up Proctor fighter. He has quite a reputation in my game.

Rock n' roll...good idea and implementation...

I agree with that! Very nice!

I'm looking forward to new ships El Magico!

Your pics look fine to me on my computer!

Does it come in Ferrari Red?

...zarf-stallion leather seating...

..and the tinted canopy so people outside can't see you laughing maniacly as you strafe them...

Darkmax wrote:oh yes.. definitely! Also... slip-off coat all over the ship!

In-seat massager, extra-layback positioning, and padded arm rests for those inflight snoozes and 'training flights'...

el magico -- darklorddc wrote:Wait until I'm done with the Battlecarrier that takes them into battle....definitely going to be "nicely loaded."

Decorative nymph water-fountain in the airlock enterance annex? Complete with eye-cameras and plasma-breath in event of a boarding attempt?

"Nice crystal chandelier...on the bridge..."
"That's our communications array."

There's a fine line between 'functional opulence' and 'tacky'...

Very nice pic! I take it that is the ALtess Battlecarrier? Can't wait to see the stats for the big ship. Nice fighter from the Altess. I didn't see it on your art page. Hopefully you'll keep them coming!

Well the enemies are coming! The next "Minion War" book is coming soon! I suppose the enemy could be them.

I'm not sure how many fronts they'll be in this war. But I'm sure that the whole three galaxies will be on one side against the others!

As bad as this war promises to be. I'm looking forward to seeing as to how it's plays out!

Ah...but we bystanders win in either case because of the flow of new images and stats flowing into our files...

I totally agree with that Taalismn!

Aramanthus wrote:I totally agree with that Taalismn!

Of course, we'll also be dragooned to provide material...that is the way of wars, even economic ones...collateral damage and the draft...

Until the Crane starts fishing with hand grenades and the Clams respond with RPGs, at which point it's time for the Fisherman to get the hell out of the line of fire...

Waiting for new ships and other new material from El Magico!

oh booooyyyyy.....dueling shipyard graphics....

May get a Network Omni News story or two out of this...

Nice pic! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this contest. I want see some cool results. What about rules? Maybe three pics of different ships. And it's not a race to see who finishes first. It's about the best pic. Just my thoughts. You two will need to set up your rules.

AWESOME! Very cool! I like the subject! I downloaded her for a wallpaper for my computer! She ROCK!!!!!

Come on Darkmax your material grweat too. Don't fret so much! Just create! You both can agree to not have partially dressed women in your pics. Unless El Magico can show you how to do it. Then you both are equal.

HUH? Who said anything about selling them? I know I didn't!

Sounds great! I would like to offer my services as a judge!

Cruiser is what I'd suggest. It usable everywhere! By everyone!

I'd go with Military!

That sounds very reasonable! I'm looking forward to seeing results!

Please tell us how to kick it off officially? I'd love to hear this!

Send her my way. I'm in need of a girlfriend!

It wouldn't influence my decision! I've got the sea in my blood!

Personally I'd rather have a French woman! I'm not going to say what I was thinking about for a response with the mermaid!

ROFLMAO!!! I just about fell of my chair thank! :::Looking around..........guiltily::: Shhhhh! No fair working on my weakness!

So did I!

Nope, I haven't heard of that product!

Oh ok! Now I've got it! Thank you for the image! Too young!

My eyes! Any way I'll be back tomorrow afternoon. I need to get going! Have a great morning!

My friends here are looking forward to seeing both ships. And in later contest I have a friend who might want to join the next contest.

Darkmax you did a great job. Don't think of your material as anything other than awesome. Both you and El Magico created some unbelievably brilliant work. I'm looking forward to seeing those stats for the missile cruiser too.

Everything works in Phase World because it so vast in scope. That is one of the things I love about the setting!

gravity bubble using contragravity tech is one way. You basically fold space around you until your ship is in a little pocket.
Oh, wait, non-tech or low-tech.....hrmmm....slap two halves of a comet on your ship and vent enough ice and water vapor to cover your drive emission?

Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide...The Microwave Sail...

Don't forget just painting the ship a simple flat black. And making sure your ship has better sensors than the locals. That way you detect them and power down once you detect them. You could even disguise your ship sort modular movable panels. That way you could give your ship the looks of an asteroid. Just and idea.
