I vote for it being the Union Aerospace Corporation, or UAC.

An awesome ship, but "almost stockbalanced"? I had no problems wiping out Nagaship V3 with just the destroyer, no sections destroyed.

I have been toying around with an idea for a system for creating balanced fleets. I like doing custom ship tournaments, but don't like the typical point system, and especially don't like segregation of various classes - I like a more flexible scale. The particular system I came up with is a blend of...

It's just that having a beauty pageant and a tournament together doesn't make a lot of sense, for a couple of reasons. The biggest is balancing the needs of looks versus function, they tend to be inversely correlated. The only balancing mechanism you have, that the ship must be destroyed by these tw...

This is an interesting idea, but I can't really say its a good one. The level of freedom you want isn't really compatible with a tournament; its much more suited to a beauty pageant. Also, your 'balancing' method is more than slightly absurd. Capable of defeating one ship while being thrashed soundl...

I actually had an idea like this myself, glad to know I'm not the only one. My idea was a little less complicated in terms of math, largely to avoid a difficulties in calculations and make optimizing easier. The basic idea was that you purchased a core for a non-trivial amount of points, and that co...

My initial testing, and some basic knowledge leads me to believe this "pulse spam" problem isn't a problem at all with adequate planning, especially after the pulse point change yesterday. Here's a bit of reasoning: Given: Corvettes have low HP Given: Corvettes (and to a lesser degree, fr...

Is anyone else getting this one: It was working for me, then suddenly it stopped. I even reinstalled BSF once, got the same error again.

I didn't say it was unbeatable - it was a first draft for me. What I was trying to get at was that the corvette class was overpowered - that without significant tweaking to specifically counter a pulser, it would have a very easy time of it. What class were the ships you were using?

It's just that the classes really are not balanced at all - in particular, the corvette seems so overpowered. This ship Zealot Corvette: Sections: 8 - 24 Points Speed: 3.3 - 30 Points Turning: 3.3 - 30 Points Accel: .48 - 12 Points Pulse Guns: 28 - 28 Points Deflectors: 2 - 20 Points Point Beams: 12...

I've been playtesting, and so far I can't find a way to beat a corvette with pulse spam. Anyone figured out a better way, or is this going to be a close in pulse-fest?

Extra note: It also seems silly to have to pay more for section HP add ons than for extra sections. No point in adding extra HP at all, if one can just as easily add another layer of armor.

I think you have defenses way too cheap (in particular the point beam), and it seems ridiculous to have defenses the same for all ship classes.

As an example, rail guns are utterly useless against someone who has paid less than half of the rail's point value in point beams.

Seemed weird to me too.
