An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilizations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop. The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, ferti...

Alternately, you could also set the weapon's alpha to 0 in the Edit menu.

Disturbingly phallic.

I really don't get the angles on your thrusters.

Names are important, especially if you have a ship with two engines and prominently rounded bridge dubbed "The Pentrator".

I'm thinking of lightening the intensity of the Aegis glow throughout. Anyways, more details about the weaponry: I haven't been able to precisely balance them because BSF plays too slowly on my computer. There are four modified scatter beams on the sides. The weapons have been alphaed, but they're l...

Beam weapons dominate Freespace 2 for a reason you know. But in Freespace, ships have dozens of secondary projectile weapons in addition to the big powerful beam weapons that slice capitals apart or rock fighters about like silly flies.

Complete make-over of the ship, included backstory. Please note that the central sections are really just buffed hp sections with fake aegis effect.

I know, but I'm simply saying that beams are inherently better weapons.

Beams hit instantly and cannot be intercepted.

Projectiles on the other hand, take their time, and can easily be intercepted.

So maybe stock weapons can be rebalanced. But the primary characteristics of the weapons will mean that with equal stats, beams will always overshadow projectile weapons.

they are negative to almost everyone thats new. WHY??? Because not a lot of people are capable of making a decent ship, especially on their first run. When people submit pieces of crap like this, we tell them what's wrong, look at this one, and start over. Shipmaking requires a certain amount of ar...

I find a good bit of irony in that this is the "Venusian" federation and all the ships look like eggs.

Your ships are gradually becoming worse and worse.

The best piece of advice I can offer you is not to stick on shape after shape, never to overstretch your sections, and to start everything in one colour before you actually go on to colour them.

Your BC neck and head section seem disproportioned to the main body for some reason I cannot quite fathom. Also as for laser battery placement, in the original they were placed in the head and in the new one they are on the neck. But I suppose canonically, they are mounted all over the ship. You mig...

Its called creating your own fleet/Alien Race. Begging your sincere pardon, captain obvious? It may be too flimsy for combat, but it's also nigh invulnerable because of all the aegis. Scrap a few, replace them with faux aegis if you have to, but don't make an aegis shell around your ship. That's ha...
