Those ship designs are absolutely beautiful. I can't even imagine the creativity it would take to come up with something like that shipyard port thing, or the ships that look like they have disconnected hulls.

It took me nearly 15 minutes to realize that the squadron of little ships was actually one big ship.

Really cool map. I love all the work and detail put into it. My biggest fight was in the bottom left, for some reason. I snuck omnis in to take out cannons and I was able to steamroll the rest with my full fleet. All the custom ships were so cool.

Thank you all for your kind words :)

This is in fact my first try at mapping, meant to showcase the custom ships mostly.

Didn't give the level design much thought as a whole, just stuffed the empty space with things I thought would be cool. Seems it actually worked.

Now come to think of it, it might be a little too easy, since enemy fleet is much weaker than yours in full strength, and do not actively attack you.

I'm making my second map now, this time you'll play as the enemy (the Ecclesiarchy) and face HCF. Hopefully I can make it a bit more interesting this time.

 Very interesting map and Fantastic design!

In bottom left it was hard till I tried used rock burner and then amp gem to increase distance of attack.
Long range artillery platform was also tough but I used some ships as a bomb.

For me it was not so easy understanding of function and ability of so many beautiful custom ships.

Thank You for great work!  :)
