I see what you mean in all, but yours didnt quite scream star-destroyer, probably because theres holes you can see space through all over it, and the color change is a little dramatic.

Just a little friendly advice, though im sure to consider yours.

[Boksi]

I know it needs some prettifying, I did it in twenty minutes while tired. But I can't be bothered to make it look more proper now X3

I'm just going to... Say, maybe I'm going to do my homework for once!

EDIT: And I've done my homework! Woohoo!

Anyway, I tried a simple match: SSD versus a BS-009 Spider. At first the Spider got chewed up because someone gave the SSD a lot of deflectors and didn't change its maneuverability from the default settings, so it was always facing my ship head on. The only things that got through were the railguns. Anyway, the Spider lost a couple of sections, but it took it like a champ. It has a lot of sections after all. Lost a lot of its flak guns though. Eventually, while the SSD's shields were recharging, the Spider nailed it good with its remaining frontal Twin Beamer, right on the nose of the ship. The explosion apparently caused a chain reaction and wiped out the SSD's left side. Either that, or the SSD has some very bad parenting. After that, it was just a matter of mopping up the leftover bits. The Spider wins!

[RedWarrior0]

What's the loadout on my ship? Same as before?

[QuakeIV]

Actually i made the nose the weak point, you can blow the hell out of half of it if you kill one segment of nose.

EDIT: it seems you just slowed it down until it couldnt face you and you slaughtered it, although i agree it was too fast.

[Boksi]

Ah. So it was the parenting. So what happened was that my weapons slowly wore down the nose, which was almost always pointed toward the Spider, whenever the SSD's shields went down, and then boom!

I might've had a harder time if I hadn't taken out a bunch of the side blasters with my railguns weapons when I tried to flank that damn thing and blow out its shield generators.

[Diakron]

dang i always kind of thought that while i was gone from the crew i was hanging out at Ed's, but then everyone had to show up and i'm not there

To make the test fair you really need to have both ships on autopilot...

...and that denies a ship that is difficult to use to its full potency. Ah, balance!
Richthofen's apprentice is a stark contrast to the master of the trade. The first thing you notice is his unkempt, oily black hair- you're pretty sure that the oil in question is the variety used to ensure lubrication of a motor, and on further inspection, that it may actually be brown. Indeed it is noticeable from quite a distance. His facial hair is in a similar state of affairs, a bushy mustache and scraggly, half-shaven beard covering his red, squat face. He wears a faux-denim vest and a tee shirt, oil stained, and he arms are scarred and possible chemical burned, as well as being burly in the least attractive possible way. Below that he is covered in ripped denim jeans, and closed-toe sandals. The smell is repugnant- predominately of blood, sweat, and ferrous chloride (you took high school chemistry, didn't you?)

He turns off his radio, which is playing music. Indeed, he shares the professor's taste for the German language. "Arright, now listin' co's imma gonna say this once- I've upgraded most a' yer ships, fixed yer damage, and whatnot. If yeh like it, remember yer tip."


"Naw, I was gonna put in the Von's machine guns- y' know, get some dakka goin'? But, yeh see, I'm also trying to make it faster, an'... 'zee weight of zee veapons iss not conduceev to zee increase is maximum velocity'." he quipped. "If yer tryn'a make it any faster, yer gonna have ter switch over ter an interceptor model- still workin' on 'at."


"Hoo-ee! Now this, it's my kinda ship! Yer new gazzillion-cals oughta chew 'em up! Ther range arn't good as blasters, but boy, they do a lot more damage! And lookit that thing! Y'all could pick up chicks wittat! Oh, and I put a flak bit on der too, little extra protection."


"Hah, more guns! Not as good range as them blasters, but, more damage. Now, 'at got meh thinkin'- why do them bullits stop movin' in space anyway? In a near ab-so-loot vac-yoom, shiddin't they, like, continue ter be potent e'en after der intender terjectery is... nar, I lost me thar..."
Sorry, no fight tonight, on account of me not saving those and having to do them all twice. The rest of you will get more upgrades after more gameplay. Oh, and that little star destroyer is still a lot of pew pew, comparative to these ships- but we'll see. If it's ostensibly a pew pew ship, maybe it could pass...

WHY YES I AM AN IDIOT. PICTURES FIXED.

[Spartan 117]

Take some guns off, I don't care, I just want a Star Destroyer/Acclamator.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Woah... those guns are bigger than I expected.

Looks good.

[Boksi]

Oh hell, put me on the waiting list. I follow this thread so closely I might as well actually join in on the action.

Also, on the test: I usually have both ships on AI, but that would actually massively favor the SSD, since they would just stay there and shoot each other and the SSD was better built for that; the Spider was designed to have no blind spots, but it can't concentrate its firepower either so it's better against multiple ships.

There we go.

I kept one gat blaster because it isnt too terribly powerful.

[Boksi]

Now it looks like it's supposed to take damage more than deal it. I hope you didn't put in that nose weak spot like on the SSD.

[CJ1145]

Well, after re-reading that update a dozen times, because that accent is mysteriously mesmerizing when put to paper, I've decided I like my ship--BUT--I'd like to be in the market for a new one.

I'd build one myself to show you, but the difficulty with that is that McAfee does not like Firefox bringing in new programs. It's kind of a xenophobe like that; but regardless, the bottom line is that I simply cannot re-download anything, because the first time was painful enough. The ship-builder, which was accidentally deleted, is included in this list. I was wondering if I could give some basic ideas on what I wanted, and someone could build it for me.
