Shipyard
It's horrible if I need a 50km long ship with 532 laser cannons. They just don't exist! So I took up modelling to fill in the gaps of missions I may one day make (maybe).
All of my ships are modelled and UV mapped in Wings3D, textured in Photoshop 7, and converted with LithUnwrap, trueSpace 3.2, and the POF Constructor Suite. One day I may have tutorials detailing some of this. There's a good chance you may also see pigs flying at that time.
The Fleet
GTA Charybdis
This design was originally made by Volition. I only created a more detailed version that takes advantage of the new
engine enhancements that the SCP has made possible.
Ships of the GTA Charybdis class have been packed with the latest tachyon-enabled AWACS equipment from GTVI labs.
Each GTVA battle group has a squadron of Charybdis-class ships assigned to it. These ships double the range of the
group's standard detection arrays. Charybdis ships' thin armor and weak defenses make them easy victims for enemy
bombers. They have proven indispensable, however, in forays into the nebula beyond the Knossos portal. Charybdis-class
ships are very vulnerable in this environment, as witnessed by the recent loss of the GTA Panopticon from the 3rd
Battle Group.

GTC Cretheus
The GTC Cretheus is a new light cruiser, designed primarily for escorting convoys and vunerable ships. With 8 dual flak cannons, it is capable of taking care of most fighter or bomber threats. Its two powerful engines allow it to keep up with any transport ship and almost match speeds with heavier fighters. When faced with a capital ship threat however, the Cretheus' only advantage is its small size and speed. Without any beam cannons and only light armor, the Cretheus must rely on heavier cruisers for survival. Cretheus Cruisers are typically in groups of two or three so that their spread of flak can cover more area.

GTCv Bellona
The GTCv Bellona is an experimental strike corvette. Instead of traditional beam cannons, it is armed with several missile ports capable of firing conventional and meson warheads. Special targetting systems allow the Bellona to fire on enemies from long range. However the reloading process is quite slow, so the Bellona must keep its distance from any potential targets to work effectively.
