Sorry for the absence. Been busy with the school and its endless flinging of homework and college stuff. Will get these ships tested eventually.

Alright, I got a bit of a demo encounter for y'all. It involves two waves of smaller attackers, and a big boss to fight at the end, called Darkwing. http://www.mediafire.com/?2xymtzxeztl I'd wager that y'all will find it very simple to finish. I can't download it :(. What seems to be causing it? Ca...

The Plasma charges have a range of 20. Very small range. I'm pretty sure the aegis-toting sections can be slowly sniped down with the Dragon shot, though it could take some time, and I'm not sure, since the first time I tried this guy, I got killed crashing into drivers. ED: Did it with one try, tho...

I had a unique idea of how to implement a bubble shield; using the round section, place one on top of the ship core and enlarge it until it covers the whole ship. Send it to the back of the layers, and color it black. Add a deflector, and then whenever this black circle gets hit, the shield will tur...

Done. Was a very close battle, but it's very well possible. Great! I'll move onto my second design. Would it be okay if I made a station boss? Basically a ship with no acceleration so that it turns at a constant rate? Feel free to make any sort of ship a boss. Small, but powerful fighters, Mothersh...

I would like it if you lowered bullet speed. As is, it's possible to dodge those, but definitely not when closing in for the kill; I got blown up as I reached the very end of fighting the guy. I'd wager 95% speed would be good.

Did it. Pretty nice. On a scale of 1-10, I'd rank this 6 in difficulty. If you stand infront of the ship and try and beat it that way, it's VERY tough, as those beamers just vaporize the fox. However, if you strike its weakpoints, one by one, the sections fall and the main core is exposed and the sh...

I do need a hint. How do you download your ship? :wink:

As for the demo, don't worry about it being too easy; this is supposed to be a 1st stage in a boss rush, so it makes sense that it's quite easy.

That boss was nice. Was able to destroy it with one ship while taking moderate damage. For some bosses, yes, a short period with small and medium ships could work; I was designing the 1st boss fight and decided to do that. And feel free to make some empty maps for usage. Though, if they're made to b...

Thing is, in the actual encounter, you'll only have one ship to do this all with, as well as your repair station, which can get killed, so if a boss takes several tries to defeat, it's not going to be very suitable for this project.

Still tough, but at least I can damage it! :lol: I no longer doubt that it's beatable, but I personally haven't done it yet. It'll probably be a later fight. Anyway, I'll try your new design. EDIT: Tried it. It's also quite tough, but I'm sure it could be done. It took me about 3 ships to get about ...

Nope, no vids. This is going to be an encounter for everyone to play, but if I find that everyone seems to be having problems, I might release vids showing how to beat 'em.
