I'm not complaining. I'm noting errors in the design so that he has time to fix it, and thus not get a low accuracy score when it comes time to judge the ships.

Ayy ok I get it... jeez

My entry for the original ships: The Colossus. Its my biggest ship yet =D

The Colossus (the name given to it by its first observers) is a massive enigmatic vessel not affiliated with any known organization or group. Truly a one-ship fleet, this technological marvel soars through space, never needing to rest due to its enigmatic self-sustaining nature. A glance at the ship reveals that it is of Terran origin, yet when the Colossus first made itself known near Arcturus, the shock from the sight of such a huge vessel shook the star colony even more than Nagaya's third flagship. Thankfully, the Colossus had no intention of engaging the Hecates and Athenas hastily deployed, and continued its journey into deep space. No one knows where it came from, who its crew are (or if it even has any), or its motives. It appears that the aliens were just as perplexed. According to intelligence reports, the aliens apparently assumed that the Colossus was a new Terran superweapon. A brief clash between the Colossus and the aliens gives some insight into its abilities.

The first thing to be noticed about the Colossus, other than its size, is its speed. Two primary (central) and two secondary (wing-mounted) engines propel the Colossus to speeds comparable to a Terran destroyer. In addition, in battle the Colossus was observed to have incredible agility for its size by adjusting the output of its engines. The Colossus' weaponry is very similar to current Terran weaponry, but also includes some aspect of alien tech, such as the Aegis deflectors and pulsar guns. The Colossus is relatively vulnerable to rear attacks, but still has enough to fend off smaller ships. Large battleships will not be able to catch up to it, and engaging it from the front is a futile effort. Observers have also noticed the powerful self-regeneration systems onboard the Colossus, which combined with its extremely thick armour makes it nigh-invincible. All in all, not something you want to make an enemy of.

I'm liking our entries so far, but we need more, particularly in the Fan Ships and the Fleets Categories. There are eleven days remaining until entries close, so there's still plenty of time, and I encourage everyone to compete.

I look forward to seeing what else you guys come up with.

Hm? I'm not re-editing it yet. I entered it the way it is and I won't edit things afterwards, least to not cause confusion.
About the inaccuracy:
Firefly wasn't exactly consistent about things. For example in one Episode the engines are close enough to the entrance that they can kick a gangster into it. In other episodes it's like a hundred meters away.

Wow this tournament is spawning some pretty awesome ships... keep up the good work.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one week remaining for you to get your ship entries in. One week!

At this rate, I'm going to have to scrap the Fleet and the Fan Ships categories, since both of them only have a single entry.

Come on guys, step up to the competition. It's all fun and games, really. And no one is going to poke an eye out, I promise.

Eitherway, I'm fine with the Fan Category being scratched.

It's all fun and games 'til someone loses an eye.

Then it's a game of "Hunt the Eye".

That would be the likely assumption.

Come on, people! I've seen tons of GREAT ship designs posted in the last week or so, but nigh on none of them have been submited to the competition! If you think your stuff is good, you should submit it here, and let it be judged!

You could win... well... nothing, really, except the honour of saying "My ship came first/second/third place in the Annual BSF Beauty Pageant"... which is pretty cool, right?

Anyway, there's still a few days left to submit ships. If necessary, I'll extend the closing date a few more days, but I hope it won't need to come to that.

I am happy to scrap the Fleet and Fan Ships categories, if people would prefer that. Very few people seem interested in submiting ships to either of those categories anyway.

ALSO!

JUDGES sound off. Leave me a message here, letting me know that your still active, and willing to participate as a Judge. Judging will begin in a few days time.
