Even more impressive than the BC, David. Can't wait to see it completed!

The completed DN with attendant shuttles.

The current size of the Auroran fleet.

If anyone asks you what is so appealing about the Omega setting, this should be your first answer.

Outstanding work.

(Are you gonna show the DN off over on the BBS?)

Excellent work. That is one impressive force, both in size and in craftsmanship.

What Omega Oct race are you doing next?

semperatis · Post by **semperatis** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 4:26 am

Next???!!!!! I haven't finished the Aurorans yet,I've still to make another squadron of DD's and design/build some escort FF's,( to make them look different from the standard ones). I also need to build another CVS,as the implications are that there was more than just one of them.
Once the Aurorans are finished,I don't have any immediate plans to try building any other races. I don't want to get caught up in the build mania again as I did before,this is just for fun,making another Federation offshoot fleet,whose ship designs are really quite straightforward.
The only other race that I might possible contemplate building are some of the Iridani Questing ships,but at the moment,they're just a pipedream. The last thing that I want to do,is to put myself off building once more,or it might be yet another decade before I start building again.

I would love to see some Iridani scratch builds!

Inspired by Rick's Ship Card art for the Questors, eh semperatis?

Well Nerroth,they look as if at least the Galleons can be based around a Fed pod,but the engine exhaust bells may be quite a headache to get right. At the moment,all I want to do is to finish off the Aurorans,then I'll see if I'm going to do anything else.
I do need to know just what the other Auroran ships are that you mentioned in an earlier post,those that were built,and the conjectural ones. Which Omega product do they appear in,and do the FRA ever get around to building their own PF's,if so,what do they look like?

Nerroth · Post by **Nerroth** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 6:16 am

FRA gunboats are strictly conjectural; you can see them (as well as the also-conjectural Auroran SCS and PFT, and the actually-historical DDE, plus some more types of FRA fighters) in Module Omega 5.

Auroran PFs kind of look like mini CLs on the SSDs...

An Auroran DD alongside the DDE. The DDE has a completely different weapons loadout from the DD,with 7xPH-1's;6xPH-3's and 2xESG's.

The blue/grey hull colour that I use for the Aurorans is the Citadel Foundation paint colour,Astronomicom Grey,and the dark blue is Mordian Blue,for those of you that are interested.

David, did you use that colour on your grey Federation minis?
