Lancer Frigate (Mk2)

Main armament: x14 i-beam lances.

Auxiliary craft: two light ion fighters (x2 i-beam lances each).

Designed for independent deep space operations and patrolling the outer rim planets. Has enough DV to get almost anywhere.

...w-what about my ship? It also carries two fighters...

your ship is pretty enough to come to the prom too

I uploaded a new version (same download link) that fixes the staging on the i-beam lances

You can now fire them in three groups of x4, x4, and x6 instead of them all firing at once.

new small fighter for carriers.

it is, i dare to say, one of the most beautiful carrier sized fighters.

I have reached 50 subscribers!

here is a craft I built for the occasion!

CH3a8FM.png

this is the K.S.S. N4ch0s in low LOW Ike orbit.

it is my heavily armored carrier, and it is decked out!

3: small Bee-II fighters, they have 2 I-beam torpedoes each!

2: large Space-Mu fighters that have a large SRB torpedoes and 4 small I-beam torpedoes each!

the carrier itself, while also being heavily armored, has 3 small I-beam torpedoes.

Fearing oncoming war with CMB industries, the New Dawn Cooperative has begun converting its vast cargo fleet into war-ready ships. Their first effort, the Helios was converted from a armored cargo ship to a light carrier, capable of transporting a single Skipjack fighter and six torpedo racks across interplanetary distances.

Next came the Corona, the Cooperative's first purpose-built warship, a dreadnought packing 4 reloadable RT-5 missiles, plus four anti-fighter missiles and two decoys. This one is heavily based off Macey's dreadnought design, but with a few twists of my own.

The decoys are a pretty cool design, as they have two pair opposing sepatrons, one with higher thrust than the other. This way, it shoots off about 700 meters before the first one runs out of fuel, then the reversed one cancels out the velocity. It's a really simple design that can be hilarious if your opponent doesn't know what's up.

My first foray into capital sized ships.  Introducing the all stock, unmoded Dynamo ore hauler.  It launches like a standard rocket and is not military.  However I knew once in space, solar panels were not going to cut it if I wanted the futuristic capital ship look so I took a great leap forward and went all PB-NUK.  With 30 ion drives, this generates the same thrust as a single NERV engine.  However it has so many PB-NUKs that it runs them all at full power without losing electricity.  It was able to generate the remaining 300 dV needed to stay in orbit from ion power alone.  This is the design that will surely spawn an ion tech arms race.

Comes equipped with surveying sensors.

I've been developing an o-10 based space missile, along will a light frigate to drag them around the system, a station for refueling, and a very unnecessary over sized crusier. The cruiser is based after @ShadowZone's Ozymandias I deep space exploration vehicle. Except instead of going to sarnus, it's demolishing enemies around the mun. So far it kinda sorta maybe ish not really works.

I posted this many versions ago. Just recently stumbled across the craft file in Dropbox and rebuilt it for current versions. Always was one of my favorite designs. I just need to work on some better armament.

The Piranha is a lightly armed and nimble fighter. It is armed with two 10rd separation cannons, making it ideal for smaller and unarmored vessels on its own. However, repetitive impacts to targeted areas of a heavier armored vessel can allow the small projectiles to slip through the armor and strike more delicate systems.
