You can only build and look at so many shiny ships before you think "What's the point?" Spending forever just trying to get doors, weapon sequences, and such to work for the sole purpose of... just showing them off in a gif doesn't help. Once you've moved on to working on other things, it ...

Does the 2nd metagame ruleset include any weapons besides the basic cannons+missiles+lasers? If I'm reading [url=http://bsf_meta2_calculator.byethost17.com/index.php]this calculator[/url] correctly, then it's going to need a lot of work to balance and include all the other weapons and modules.

Here's a bunch of Tyrian sprites formatted to be used as weapons. (And some thrown in as missiles for good measure.) I know some of them weren't originally weapons, but if it looked like it could work then I did it anyway. Includes 43 different weapons, not counting variations. Mostly medium-sized w...

Hmm... The previous upper-arms look better to me. Probably because of the contrast between the simple cylinder appearance of the new upper arm and the more complicated forarm. But then maybe that'll change if you rework the forarms.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread.

Definitely one of the better 3D->sprite conversions I've seen too. You even put weapons on them. Or... at least I think those are weapons.

Yeah, I'm not very satisfied with how the Plasma Funnel came out. It's just sorta there. Not sure about making a pack, since I'm probably not going to finish any definitive set. This is more just an assortment of whatever weapons I happen to whip up. Anyhow, added the Maw and some more bullets to th...

...I should've figured it'd be buried in the wrong Photobucket folder. Thanks.

Thanks. I don't build ships anymore, but I still lurk around on occasion. And there'll definitely be more to come. I need an excuse to sprite things, and this works pretty well. Updated the first post with two weapons, one old one new. (Stasis Field and Impeller) I must've deleted the Bombardment Ta...

BSF is sorely lacking in new alien weapons with all the new weapons being variations of Terran weapons. I can't code new weapons, but I can at least give you some sprites, beginning with revisions of my originals: Disruptor: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/IxraninEL/Battleships/CustomSprites/...

Go for it. The sprites I submitted to BSF are completely separate from the sprites I use for my own projects.

Incidentally I happened to check these forums for the first time in two months, 1 day after you PMed me.

A "logical" mech would have 4+ legs, since its main purpose would likely be all-terrain movement. And don't expect it to look like an ATAT. Mechwarrior mechs edge more on "utilitarian" in appearance, but that doesn't make them any more realistic then a gundam or super robot. Just...

I remember working on this for a couple days to no avail. If there were two or more enemies, destroying one would cause the player ship's weapons to lose target and the ship to revert, then get caught with its triggers backwards. Since I stopped building BSF ships, I never got around to testing the ...

I actually like how you're using the WF-ish sprites on these ships. They still stick out a bit, but they work well in creating the illusion of heavy armor plates. The last ship's pretty good too. It looks a little generic and blocky at first, but then it flips out all those sections and turns into s...

Just to clarify some of peoples' hinting about the OS->SB link, let's play I spy a ___.

Beam weapons are finicky at close ranges (such as wonky hit detection). Use an AoE projectile weapon like Plasma Charge instead. Though AoE weapons are finicky as well, just in a different way. Probably whatever you use won't fit perfectly, just gotta keep fiddling with the range and placements unt...
