Wyvern (February Carrier Contest Entry)

Description
NOTE: SE update 18 introduced passage blocks, and all ladders were turned into gatling guns. i was unable to fix this particular file because i lost the original one. however, i have uploaded the original Wyvern design for you here http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=229738926 (note that the original version does not conform to contest standards)

this is the Wyvern from my military division file, with a few slight modifications and KSH fighters in the hangar for the contest requirements

The Wyvern was created to be the flagship of the Phoenix Fleet. It is created to serve a support role by providing large quanities of strike craft to the battlefield. The Wyvern is not lacking for firepower, but its armor is lighter than that of the Kestrel's and it does not carry as many turrets or as exhaustive an ammount of ammunition. For this reason, the two battleship sized craft are designed to work together - with the Kestrel as the tank and the Wyvern as the support

This design was inspired by the Amarr Ark from EVE Online

Game has sucked profoundly since version 1.192. I strongly urge you to go into your steam settings and revert to that version. Unfortunately this will lock out any DLC that came out since then, but then unless we can organize a riot at Keen world domination headquarters, that's the only way we can play this game. =((((((

I’m afraid thats been a death sentence for many old ships. Theres no way for me to resurrect it unless someone else out there happens to have a copy somewhere (as i have a new comp and dont play SE anymore.)

I did make a new version of the wyvern, though, which you can find under the main PFS collection

Hello, I used to use this ship, i loved it, but with new game version it does not work, it says file is corrupted, how to proceed ?

if you want to criticize a ship, then your opinion would be much more valuable for my latest stuff. every author puts out meh to begin with and gets better. if you criticize the beginning, that's like telling someone how a bi-plane is a terrible design because it doesn't have leading edges, swept wings, or jet engines. you're right, but your criticism is pointless. its authors have learned from their mistakes and moved on already. criticizing a F-22, however, is still very relevant.

check my account. I've already restored and re-published several examples older than this and have a queue flush with projects. I am aware that there were a limited selection of blocks at the time. Granted, even earning a meh is a an accomplishment because much of the stuff I come across is flat out BLEH. I don't even download it unless it seems to be at least meh and potentially a wow find...

check the release date.

conveyor tubes did not even exist. the original ship didn't even include the block versions because they didn't even work that far back. grav generator ranges could not be edited. power outputs, engine requirements, and thrust outputs were drastically different. furnaces did not exist.

also one of my very first ships, so my style was hardly as refined as it is at this current point in time.

go play any other ship released in the first few months of late 2013-early 2014. you're likely to get the same "meh" feeling because there was very little for any of us to do anything with.

if you study history, you'll start to notice this odd pattern where things change over time, and technology gets better. but you didn't have ipads in the 90s, either.

Exploring this ship filled me with an overpowerering feeling of MEH. The styling was competent but not brilliant. It had a conveyor network but it was wasteful and looped around in several places. There were too many reactors (I think the specs changed, so I'll give a pass on that) Some parts of the ship were being crushed with 5Gs of gravity. Anything bigger than the first spawn ship must be equipped with at least a furnace and an assembler for basic repairs. This ship had no production blocks at all... The crew quarters were also a major forward-aft hallway, not well designed at all. I'll keep my data-recovered copy of it for a few das in case u want it back.

This ship NEEDS Uncle Ste's block, it would look gorgeous with them.
