Re: BSOD Shipyards 2.0

On those glows, you may want to tone down the alpha to 0.3 or 0.2 (play around and see what looks best) and set the scatter to 1.
The result with the way you're using will look like this

Re: spare unused sprites in custom sprites folder

There are several very simple ways to do this. The easiest is to just open the folder and drag and drop the section into shipmaker. Another way would be to open tools/group arrange in the shipmaker and proceed to move sections into the leftmost group (as that is the one that is displayed) at will. H...

Books

Recently, I finally got my hand on the Mistborn trilogy that Anna talked about a while back, and feel deeply in love with it. Couldn't put it down. But I wasn't satisfied there, I looked up more stuff by Brandon Sanderson (the author), and discovered his multitude of fantasy novels. I've read almost...

Re: Sovereign Aurelian Republic

Lore-wise, ECM arrays would be nullified by electronic warfare ships.
And flareguns are still sexy.

Eh, thought you were referring to the Mirror Universe for some reason. Ah well, that's what you get for browsing the internet just after you wake up.

It looks quite similar to the reboot's Constitution.

Re: Delta shipyards

The Arc one belongs there, for some reason. It's there for me too.
As for the other one, I have never seen it before and have no clue where it belongs.

Re: Kriken Civil War-Ashtic Commonwealth and Kriken Coalitio

Haven't touched these mofos yet, but I am thinking of changing Ashtic PD from particle guns to flak guns. Thoughts?

Re: Kriken Civil War-Ashtic Commonwealth and Kriken Coalitio

I think the Ashtic PD is actually overpowered. Kriken not so much.

Mind you, I always assumed that lasers (and such) would be the standard weapons and that kinetic guns would really only be used for extremely large, spammy zerg ships.

Re: Kriken Civil War-Ashtic Commonwealth and Kriken Coalitio

Doogie has many good points here Luke, I mean if a ship is really PD specialized then it excels at it's role but being specialized in something means there will be a huge load of weaknesses too like it can't retaliate plus you can just use energy based weaponry to fight PD hence the kriken's weapon...

Re: Kriken Civil War-Ashtic Commonwealth and Kriken Coalitio

First, ask yourself if the ship would be more effective if the point defense guns were offensive turrets instead. Then, ask yourself if it really is the PD being overpowered, or if it has something to do with the sheer number of PD turrets. Take the Sescherin. It is nothing more than a hunk of metal...

Re: Destiny's workshop

Eh, the destructive ability of a ship doesn't really...matter. Ever. At all.
It's all about aesthetics. I can make a single ship with a single gun that can annihilate any design, but there's no fun in that. So if you are going to make a death platform, make a pretty one.
