* Aegis shields may not completely cover one side of the ship from attack.

I'll ask Ix, but "may not completely cover one side is ambiguous. I took it to mean they may not be continuous.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforever/shipdatabase/uploads/ATM2_Alien_Mothership.zip This is the ship for mothership 2 (kindly provided by minja, from beta team). It should be the sort of thing we'd expect to see from the upcoming bosses. Try out your ships against it, and see how they do. (8 of...

thanks for the offer. I'll pass And generally it's considered polite (aka not completely rude) to post this in the main thread. So... If I post in the main thread, does that mean you'll give me a link to the mothership? too subtle perhaps? let me try again... don't post in our thread. kapeesh? good...

Does anyone have links to past boss-like ships, e.g. the juggernaught or motherships, that could be used for testing purposes?

Sticking my nose in. <clip> WE WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE ANTS! :twisted: thanks for the offer. I'll pass And generally it's considered polite (aka not completely rude) to post this in the main thread. So... If I post in the main thread, does that mean you'll give me a link to the mothership?

Hege, interesting ship. I'm not sure what to make of it, but hull looks nice (if a little under-compacted), and it's decently mobile. The weaponry is outlandish, but I can't say either way as to effectiveness. !NOTE: double-check HP values, cruiser has 400 default for core, not 500. Your sections ma...

You guys have access to the mothership for testing? That's neat. Since we're all friendly rivals here, could you please direct me to its location?

I think we've just beat team beta already, but they might have some tricks up their sleeve. Count on it. We shouldn't even kid ourselves that we've BEGUN to make our ships work. Let's get our submissions in (see bottom of this post for larva), test, and then test, and finally start to pat ourselves...

Lloyd, I think your ship might be a little too piecemeal - we have 8 ships, they don't need to be able to do everything each, just to do everything together. Better to make a specialist ship. A little bit of conversion, and your current model could be a good, durable gunboat (blasters, cannons, etc.)

Edit: Ninteen, I can't comment too much on your ships, as I don't use loadouts like those often. I will say that your deflectors will tend to target the sections out front, rather than the section 26's, which seems undesirable to me. http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/7574/bfscreen01in9.png This is ...

Two things: don't obsess over the aegis boss. It's worth considering, but 1 specialist anti-aegis ship is more than enough, I think. Personally, I'm more worried about Burst Out and maybe the triplet ships. A really fast boss like the Burst out will screw up intended fleet workings - flanking tanks,...

I would tolerate a later deadline if you could guarantee that you won't keep us waiting weeks for a result. Also, just to be super-clear, our same 8 ships compete against each boss, right? Thus demanding flexibility on the part of the team? Edit: Finally, are you willing to give us any sort of impre...

Might be a little low on firepower, but looks like it has a decent hull design and will work to distract PD well, in addition to dealing some damage. I think we should try to get our designs together as soon as we can before the deadline and put them through testing. That's really the only way to do...

Glad to have you guys on board! Yeah, upload to the database and PM. If that's frustrating for whatever reason, just upload to a file site like rapidshare or filefront. You can post them here too, but be aware that your competition might try to spy. I hope that the staggered nature of the tourney's ...

Great! I'm happy to hear that.

Frankly, I think everyone on the forums should take part in this. I mean, 500 points worth of ship might be hard to build, but you can do 80 or 150 for fun, no problem!
