You can increase the life of a ship with ablative armoring, small HP changes, or TASTEFUL use of deflectors. Invincibility or near-invincibility is usually frowned upon because it takes very little skill to make, is uncreative, and generally does not result in enjoyable gameplay. There are other way...

I'm kinda iffy on the colors, first of all. Red and green don't mix well unless you seriously like the holiday season. You may be able to make them work together somehow, but the bright glow on the green isn't helping. Try a bit of variation in the shade of grey you use to indicate depth and make it...

Dark grey looks pretty flat so it does look a bit messy. Shape and colors are pretty decent but the connection between the stern and bow halves is kinda flimsy.

I would like to comment on the seeming lack of unity in structure style for a fleet. The frigate seems to be a large pod-shaped ship, while others seem to have outriggers/wings. I'm not getting a huge feel of cohesion here. That and the shapes aren't particularly interesting, although in my opinion ...

Thanks for the positive commentary! Yeah, the red/green lights are port and starboard indicators, respectively. I was looking at some of Lizzie's ships, noticed them, and thought, "Why not?" As to releasing the custom sections, once I get enough diversity, probably around 20+, I'll release...

I can haz armament?



Still sticking with the merchantman status, so weapons are all fairly vulnerable. Dual torpedo tubes are pretty powerful, but they take almost half a minute to reload. Flares for extra goodness.

Nice sprites. I like the detail that doesn't feel cluttered. They look nice and functional.

Thanks for the comments. @Elias_The_Crimson The centre hatch on the core opens and closes periodically, and the port/starboard lights slowly blink on and off. @Slayer0019 Yeah, I was thinking about releasing it, but there's only a measly 13 or 14 sections done so far. I'll release summa these once I...

http://xs138.xs.to/xs138/09162/smscreen08929.png Insert backstory and product information here. Fiddling around with custom sections. No weapons/modules yet. Radiators are only there because they're shiny, so if glow is in excess I'll tone it down. I can assure you that parenting is sound. C&C ...

I love you. Thanks for the update.

More flexibility for triggers, including the logic stuff Eri said above. Perhaps a more advanced scripting editor in addition to the current interface?

Is this fade, movement, or a combination of both? Looks like fade but I'm not sure. Very impressive either way.

Oh, just to clarify, that doesn't happen continuously. Only when the sabots fire.

By animation, do you mean the recoil action or the doodads?
The tip glows were a last-minute thought and I'll happily remove them. Recoloring coming soon.

Not very experienced at this so rip apart at will. Mostly looking for aesthetics criticism and parenting, but a download is provided for balance and gameplay testing. The theme I was going for was a long-ranged bombardment platform that was tough in terms of pure armoring but that was not very mobil...
