Shared Ship Repository

[Felime]

Love seeing more designs popping up to populate campaigns with. Never knowing exactly what is going to be thrown at me is a big draw.

I've updated my ship pack to 1.1.3Live, mostly just re-balancing and fixing the few ships that adjustments made overweight:

Maybe I should get my own thread so I'm not filling up this one with each update, but I've checked everything for 1.1.4, and added 100 new hand designed ships for a total of 722. Tried to get enough variety in design philosophy for the AI to surprise me in a strict shared designs campaign, and to fill in some of the hulls that were made available earlier as shared designs. Also learned some fun new layouts for a few ships and created a couple abominations that struck fear into my heart. (Somehow I managed to fit 18 8" and 30 5" barrels on a 1930s spanish cruiser while maintaining good firing arcs)

Hello,

I on the other hand would like to see some historical designs being used by the AI, so I started to recreate some of the IJN ships, You can download them from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1e3zjV1ASmHATWqF60_7jyff4fiHMSX-1

I will continue to add more IJN ships, but creating historical (or close enough :P) designs for all nations is too much work for one man

If there are people here with similar needs, maybe we could each take one nation and populate the game with real warships?

 

Cheers! 

UPDATE: I finished all the IJN designs I wanted/was able to make and packed them in one .rar file for easier download.

If some ships didn't make it to the list, that's most likely because I wasn't able to create them with the existing hulls or they would be identical to an other design.

Enjoy!

Added another hundred designs up to 822, for the 1.1.8 version of the pack. Thanks to Stealth17 for some inspiration on different ship layouts and design philosophies.

Aaand... here come's the US Navy: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16F7rCQkDMtmGoQVxgNFJ5FQzcFG87InN?usp=share_link 

A guy I met on steam (D4rkN1ghtm4r3) decided to make the american historical warships, so for those of you who use steam version, be sure to find his guide and give him a thumbs up  

It's a work in progress so new ships will appear on the list in the near future.

The delete button is now working, and I was able to jury rig a way to edit overweight designs, so the big ol' pack is updated to 1.2.2R. Please note that if you just copy this over a previous install, it won't remove all the overweight designs, as they have different names now. You can delete all the old ships (they should all have the same last modified date) and replace them with this pack.

Oh, and there's also 1000 designs now. I replaced a few of the worse AI designs left over from the original pack, and added a whole lot of new ones, as always trying to keep them widely varied. A number of these are capitol ships taking advantage of the more viable big guns.

very nice! thanks for all the work and effort

For the time being I am a freerider, but hopefully i will have time soon(tm) to make a proper set myself to share

It's good just to know people are enjoying and getting use out of it! When the shared designs first came out I really felt that what the game was missing was a big library of designs to just plonk down into the folder and play with mostly competent designs on the AI side.

 

In related news, an expanded version, up to 1100!

There's a few post 1930 designs in this one, but I got bored with the inflexibility of the hulls and went back to designing silly dreadnought era designs whenever I had a spare couple minutes to kill.

I had some free time recently and did another country's navy - France this time:

hey how do you get these imported into the game? i've never done this before and I have nowhere near the time needed to create a ton of shared designs

many thanks!

Aaaaand another UPDATE. For this one I mainly got the 1900, 1910, and 1920 start dates to the point where every hull has a ship for the AI to draw from. Random technology may or may not screw it all up for strict shared-design, but more ships is more gooder, right? Total up to 1342 designs.

@ozzy.88 could you reupload the US Navy bunch, it's not on the download page anymore. Thx for the work.

[ozzy.88]

I can't, but their author already did - go to his steam guide here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2932612404

The link there is updated and working.

[ozzy.88]

And finally Kaiserliche Marine and Deutsche Kriegsmarine:

(FYI I have no plans of making Royal Navy in foreseeable future - too many ships, too little free time 😕  ... so that's it from me for now)

Here is a complete collection of hand made 1929 ships, 1 BB, 1 BC, 1 CA, 1 CL and 1 DD design for every faction, 50 ships in total. I made them in hopes that I could make the computer opponents in the campaign use them, to no avail sadly. They are top notch opponents in custom battles at least, even though they are optimized for a campaign setting. All a tremendous bang for the buck, no ludicrous super ships, all built to be as compact, low, and fast as possible. Most capital ships manage at least 35 knots, some well in excess of that, have ~12 main guns of 15/16in, and 15 in belt/8in deck armor.

Each faction has a consistent and specific flavor, fleet wide they have as many parts and guns in common as possible.

I'll even throw in a photo gallery

Its certainly been a while since I've been on here

so I added and revamped a few of my designs.

Series 1: 1920-1940

is there any functional difference between .design and .bindesign files now? regular .design still works fine. is it just the impact on loading times or something?
