This doesn't really resemble a Seraph-class... A Seraph class had smaller, quicker-firing guns,and two fixed-forward-firing fusion beams, while the Vindicta seems to be designed as a heavy bombardment vessel, with the engine/ reactor nancelles and the bridge being the only parts of an original Seraph. If anything, this class of dreadnought should be named along the lines of "Fallen Angel" or "Lucifer", given it's a complete overhaul of a Seraph-class, with an entirely new weapon pack to boot.
@Ephwurd Well, that depends on the setting and where the ships are deployed. A continuum freighter operating on the outskirts might need more firepower and armor than those in the core systems, and I'm not sure whether an atmospheric transport operating in, say, New Portum would need to be designed with combat in mind... Jetliners are also large targets, but since they mostly fly in safe places, there isn't much need to make them a smaller target, and bonus points for you're not going to get the cargo if you shoot anything down in atmosphere - the cargo will simply fall with the wrecked plane and become a splattered pile of trash - something you would not benefit from.
@Ephwurd A freighter is never meant to stay in combat... This a cargo hauler, not a fighter or bomber, they do not need to be designed with those aspects in mind (jetliners, for example, do have a larger silhouette than a bomber of a comparative size, but their comfort and stability is something the bomber won't achieve)
Quote from Galaxy on Fire 2: "It's also advisable to secure all cargo and avoid carrying livestock with this upgrde."... I have to say this cargo hauler is quite maneuverable for a non-ANGRAV ship of its size, and I'm now thinking about naming the missile launchers "Silver Weaver", thanks to the smoke trail of those quick-firing missile swarms.
"We are off to outer space / we are leaving mother earth / to save the human race / our star blazers // Searching for a distant star / heading off to Iscandar / leaving all we love behind / who knows what dangers we'll find // We must be strong and brave / for the home we're about to save // If we don't in just one year / mother earth will disappear // Fighting against the Gamilons / we won't stop until we won. // Then we'll return and when we arrive / the earth will survive with our star blazers//"
@KeemstarPlanes Lagging... My phone also had problems with that... Running on high physics will fry my phone if the part count exceeds 120 with everything else turned to "low" and "off", but low physics would allow me to turn everything on high and run a 400-part with minimal lag (That said, I need to make sure my builds would also work on high physics, soo... I don't really want to make detailed stuff).
By the way, have you seen my gun challenge entry? I need to know whether it needs further modifications or not.
Just saying, but I do have a feeling that those bomb-launchers on the sides ( Cataclysm X17 ) came from a builder named @spefyjerbf, and I think the original creator should be given credit for his designs...
@JakeTheDogg There is another one, GAMF-01 "Phoebe" unit, the predecessor (and presumably an elder sister) of the GAMF-02A "Camille", created by the very same Lumian300 and got almost deleted by those overly zealous control freaks.
@KingPanzerVIII I searched the internet, and didn't find anything matching the name of the character... Is it a fan project, or is the build misnamed? I want to get the name of the original anime/manga, it's just too cool to be ignored.
@realluochen9999 Better not, this post had gathered enough controversy already, and a print of this on the web? I'm afraid this site would be taken over by flamers, trolls, and overly religious people around the globe.
@Maxwell1 In the movies, not in real life (other than overhearing the radio communication, which might or might not be useful since GAMF units are supposed to be sentient AIs). But... having an overpowered character will usually break the plot (unless it's meant to be a comedy series), soo... having the main character getting her suit hacked and need to fight on foot with traditional guns would make a better plot.
@realluochen9999 Instead of a "Mad Cat" with only this certain catgirl, how about a KanColle/Azur Lane-esq game with all GAMF units, reaching back from the "Phoebe" experimental unit, and have the name along the lines of "Mecha Girls"? Anyways, I wish Lumian3000 could continue the GAMF series in the future, and I also wish someone make an anime/game out of those characters, they are just that awesome.
@Maxwell1 You mean "Information Warfare"? Well, I'd say "good luck hacking air-gapped units", since all methods of breaching those systems requires having the target system corrupted and send the signal through morse with their lights or through ultra/infrasound. If a unit is not corrupted/hacked to begin with, it's very hard to deactivate them with hacking only - unless you can put an undercover agent as the engineer of the enemy forces, and destroy them from within.
@Maxwell1 Well, no protection against the elements indeed... I think the Russians will stick to heavier mecha units anyways... These designs are mostly scout/patrol units that does not need to take heavy damage, while front line units should look closer to War Machine from Marvel Cinematics Universe...
I would just say the outfit on the two GAMF units are nothing more than the typical bodysuit / one-piece swimsuit hybrid commonly seen in Japanese anime series as the standard outfit for mecha pilots. Although I would consider this type of outfit on a jetpack suit impractical for their lack of protection against small arms fire and shrapnel, I didn't see anything wrong if this unit is designed with a strong energy shield (as in Infinite Stratos series), given energy shields are lighter and can be recharged in a shorter amount of time compared to replacing a piece of armor.
@Fluffysheep This is just typical anime mecha/exo-suit outfit, nothing strange. Check "Expelled from Paradise" for an anime movie with the female protagonist wearing similar outfit.
@Kangarog Sorry, I didn't know that much about cold war bombers and fighters... Although I will consider Tu-128 design itself as less than efficient, given its bomber-grade fuel consumption, and a weapon load less than a typical fighter...
I have to say that you should make this plane even better than it currently is via XML modeling: i.e. Extend the Cleaver using the same activation group that activates the missile, just to prevent accidents (I accidentally dropped bombs before opening my bomb bay once, so...)
I'm now testing remote-kill weapons (originally designed to take out bridges and naval ships without anyone noticing), heavy duty bombs that are designed be air dropped into the swarm, and detonated from a remote location outside any retaliatory fire. Although the background story in my builds have not featured any "war on worms" stuff yet, I do keep an eye on the multiverse, and know how to effectively counter them without even modifying my current arsenal.
@daygus11 Birds cannot eat through metal... I mean, given those worms seemed to infest steam boilers and aircraft fuselages, then turn those mechanical parts into their offsprings, it is safe to say such abominations are metallic. If those things are indeed metallic, the only "birds" that could fight the worms also needs to be metallic ones - i.e. fighters and bombers, each with AP bullets in their chamber and HE bombs on their racks. I think that's how we should deal with those worms.
The cockpit somehow resembles a B-29...
Steering wheel on the right hand side... Where are you from?
@Zharapparbyell Sorry for the confusion... It's just my way of describing this type of "floating" turret... Also, where are you from?
Well, technically speaking, spefyjerbf had built something similar eons ago, but that's the only other instance to see maglev turrets
Who's Joseph? Is he a long forgotten brother or a descendant of Keith, the ace fighter pilot?
Not bad, but I'd suggest not using the piston-based recoil mechanism on weapons with low firing rates. Other than this, nice build!
@KeemstarPlanes Ok, I'll start my lore-writing, plane/boat/weapon-uploading spree from now on.
@KeemstarPlanes Done what?
@Lumian300 Looking forward to more videos and builds from you. Good job!
+1Also, nice job on the energy claw!

How did you make the silhouette on the upper picture? It's just amazing...

+3Could anyone please tell me why does the propeller hubs look like this, or is this based on a real plane?

Found a stolen pair of Cataclysm Artillery pieces welded to a React Cannon Rc1, what should I do?
Could you please turn on the aircraft reflections the next time you upload? It feel weird to see a plane presented without all those reflections.

Flies extremely stable, nice handling, perfect build!
Not bad, but try to cram more bombs and missiles on the plane when building bombers
@KeemstarPlanes Ok thanks! My phone will fry if I get to 20 guns anyways
@KeemstarPlanes Am I allowed to house those weapons in turrets, or should we build gun pods?
Jet engines... Airwolf, anyone?
IS this supposed to be a light freighter? Looks like one anyways...
@mikoyanster I meant the default rocket pod when using the word "Vanilla", sorry for causing any confusion!
What's the difference between the two rocket pods, and between the vanilla rocket pod?
That hood ornament looks awesome!
All hail technology! (Can this rocket land like the real one?)
I have to say that you should make this plane even better than it currently is via XML modeling: i.e. Extend the Cleaver using the same activation group that activates the missile, just to prevent accidents (I accidentally dropped bombs before opening my bomb bay once, so...)
Is this meant to be an Oerlikon cannon?

+1No, Sponge! Sponge! SPONGE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I have to say your designs somehow reminded me of spefyjerbf 's... Good job!
The color of Terran Space Fleet in GOF2... Reminded me of the old Cormorant of yours... Great build!
Annular Wing... I thought it's an Alcubierre drive... Still, Perfect Build!
"a frigate fighting like a battleship..." last time, with advanced fire control computers and gun directors; this time, with long-range missiles?
