Description
It's been a while since I released some of my Rangers Project artwork, so here's another piece
I'm also reviving my Patreon page, which helps me work on personal artwork such as this, along with making (currently glacial) progress on my art book.

This ship is a Heavy Assault Cruiser of the Protectorate navy.
Operating as a local flagship for naval fleet operations, it has formidable combat capabilities as well as considerable troop capacity. This makes it technically capable of a planetary invasion all on its own, but such a valuable ship is typically escorted by combat ships and additional troop carriers.
The long prow of the ship allows for large main guns that may out range even main line battleships. Meanwhile abundant secondary turrets and point defenses make closing distance with the ship a dangerous proposition.

Awesome design, also the stars and nebula around it give off a beautiful impression of sailing through a sea of blood.

That's a very interesting design for assault cruiser but it is one beautiful ship. I wouldn't mind having one of them for my own persona shipsΒ

Oooooo, I feel like I've heard of that. What kinda game is it? ouo

Similar to Space Engineers, build your own ship. I think its unique feature is you and your friends can walk around in the ship while it's flying without lag. It also has mining for resources and aliens to fight (or pvp).
Still in early access, but the payerbase is growing and the studio is staying funded.

From what I've seen from players like W4stedSpace, CaptainShack, and Morphologis, it seems that that issue is bein worked on, and is almost gone. They managed to not only walk around in the back of a vehicle while it was bein driven, but they were also able to modify it AND land a craft on it. But ye, I get what ya mean, and that sounds pretty neat. I'll definitely have to give it a looksee, cus it's soundin more and more like Dual Universe to me, and that sounds awesome ouo

It also has stuff designed by me, such as guns, character models, aliens, and a few other bits. But that's a minor point, wont be biased lol

Lol, I gave it a look, and already added it to my wishlist. It looks pretty neat, and I love a lot of the styles you went with. Especially with the player models, as those look VERY cool. ^u^
If I ever get the chance to buy it, I totally will. I just hope that it works on my computer. Cus, even though I have Space Engineers on my laptop, I can't run it for beans ;u;

Then i propose to either stay away or only come closer under friendly flag.
You mention troop capacity, what about starfighter squadrons? Those reddish thingies look like hangar entrances...?
And, is it just me or do i feel a bit of a Homeworld vibe?

It carries fighters and dropships, though the fighters largely stick to defending the dropships and controlling planetary airspace, as ship fleets array together their turreted weapons and ciws into a field of fire that small craft don't want to be near.

So no chance for a single fighter to take out a capital ship by crashing into the bridge like they did at Endor?
Guess that means the fighters go for those dropships instead.

Haha, yeah not to mention these ships often have extensive and multiple bridges, including a control room in the ships core.
The flip side is these ship main guns hit so hard, a single hit could possibly kill your ship from range, so everyone stays very far away from eachother.

Like an Emergency bridge, makes sense.
