The Olympian fleet - Hermes

Front.


Side.


Top.


Underside/hull.


I plan to make a fleet of ships based on the Gods in Greek mythology.

This one is only ten percent done, maybe less.
Some bit's are a wee bit wonky but I can fix those rather easily.
Anyway, back to building.

Name this class the Hermes; Zeus should be a dreadnuat given he's the ruler of the sky.

Nonetheless, lookin good. I like it.

good, unique shape (unless you're copying something)


although you profile picture looks really massive for me

@CoalMiningAlchemist
1. Thank you, and no I'm not. I usually screw up when I try to copy something.

2. I plan to fix that in a minute.

@Tiel
Will do.

nice work

better now, although the forum almost always scales it down...

weird

also welcome to the forums

And Athena should be a command ship linked to me. Because I totally wouldn't flood your ships with neurotoxin.

Athena would be a tactical strike ship, or a command ship.

Command ship. I didn't just say that.

You didn't? I could've sworn that - ooooohhhhhh! I see how it is.

Zeus: Capital Ship
Hera: Just a ship, support role.
Hermes: Done
Athena: Tactical
Hades: Cloaked infiltration vessel
Poseidon: Not quite sure, just a strong all purpose ship.
Dionysus: Not sure
Persephone: Not quite sure.
Apollo: Cleansing brilliance on a ship.
Aphrodite: Diplomatic vessel
Artemis: High DPS vessel.
Hephaestus: Mobile shipyard
Demeter: Agricultural ship.
Hestia: Not quite sure, maybe a defense platform.

Just to see if I could still name them all. I can.

Also Ares, god of war
and blasting-people-into-dust-bunnies--with-over-sized-plasma cannons.

Persephone could be a cargo ship and Dionysus, a ship around Hermes' size for carrying frigates, corvettes, gunships and whatnot.
By the way is Hermes big enough for a cruiser?

Yep, that's a cruiser.

Also, you forgot:

Aeolus, god of the winds
Eos, goddess of dawn
Asclepius, god of medicine
Eris, goddess of spite
Pan, god of the wild
Hebe, cup bearer of the gods

And the titans:

Cronus, titan of time
Gia, Titan-ess of nature
Oranos, Titan of the sky
Prometheus, Titan of fire
Hyperion, ?
Oceanus, ?
Cthulhu, not really
Atlas, Bearer of the world (actually, sky)

And the ones I don't know:

Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, Themis, Eos, Helios, Selene, Leto, Asteria, Epimetheus, Menoetius, Metis, Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses.

Oceanus is Titan of the Ocean, for some 'strange' reason.
The Greeks had a ridiculous amount of gods but nowhere near as many as the Romans. They had their own versions of all the Greek gods and a gazillion more.
Goddess of door hinges? Lolwut?

Anyways offtopic. Hermes is still unfinished on the inside but I'll leave it for now.
I've started on Hestia.

Exterior.


One of the rooms.

It's weapons will be powered by generators and solar panels however, the ship itself will run on nuclear energy. In case the generators run out of fuel there will be wood on board for burning in the furnaces at the top of the ship to get charcoal.

Don't build Phanes, please.

I want to see how Aphrodite looks

Hermes was a ship, I don't think you get what you want. Phanes, if he builds, will be the first of many ships of the same bad design.

Creep.

Anyway Hestia will only be a small ship and I plan to do Aphrodite next. I'm just wondering if you can put wool on the outside of ships. I have a pretty good idea in my head for the next ship, either way, I guess it's time to get back to the godess of the hearth.

Spare me. I just wanted to see how you'd translate her grace and slimness in blocks.

That will be hard. But I'll try.

@Keon If you mean Phanes as in Protogenus then no worries, I won't be doing any Minor gods or Titans (Hestia kind of falls into that category but only because she gave her throne on Olympus to Dionysus If I recall.)

Bad move...

Gang Garrison 2. It's a Team fortress 2 fan game.

Anyway, Hestia is the first spaceship I've built that is actually DESIGNED to be a spaceship. Hermes was originally going to be no more than a primitive fantasy airship which is why it doesn't look very battle-worthy (well, except for the cannons.)
Oh yeah I guess I should show you guys what it looks like now.


I know the box is ugly but I'll try to make it a little less...boxxy when I'm finished with Aphrodite.

Cool ship(s)! I've always had an interest in Greek gods.
