If you use weapon links, it takes several shots before the links start working properly. Did you watch to see if it eventually corrected itself or not?

Yah, I know I could convert them to bitmaps in my sleep, but that doesn't change the fact that they've already been blurred by the jpeg format.

My guess is Arcalane uploaded them as bitmaps and Photobucket auto-converted them to jpegs.

I think the issue with the last ship is that you have the nice curving and rounded sections making up the outer body... then it's suddenly a mass of angular sections in the center.

A nice solid set of ships, I especially like the Corvette.

Though I'll have to agree the Malor seems cluttered. The section22s on Beast sorta throw me off too.

Are they supposed to be jpegs?

You could make the illusion of the core being on top though. Attach a section to the core, and set it to the depth that you want the core to appear at. Then go to the "Stock Misc" folder and drag the matching core sprite into shipmaker and set it as a doodad. You could shrink the section t...

Condensed the old ships in the first post, and put up the three Legion ships which I've redone. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/IxraninEL/Battleships/SymptomR4.png Nothing fancy on these three. The two sections neighboring each laser on the Symptom slide open, but that's about it. Might chang...

Not bad early ships; they have some pretty interesting forms.

I'd probably suggest that you try to avoid resizing sections too much. Or if you are, to resize all the sections about the same amount, else it starts to look funky with large blurred sections next to smaller finely lined ones.

Shrinking them or using black sprites basically achieves the same effect though. Anyhow, it turns out the key to figuring out the fin funnel system was to load it ingame and press END. You see something like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/IxraninEL/Battleships/finfunnelrange.gif Which ...

Problem solved!

Without needing arguments about making a drill wider then the ship, or maneuvering a huge cruiser like a stiletto.

I'm not exactly sure they are reverse-engineerable in the first place, since it has clusters of sections scaled down to 0, making them impossible to click on. At least, not clickable in a way that I know of.

Hmm, forgot about the PD priority list. I suppose judgment on the Torpedo probably has to wait until the PD Flares come out. If people do want tournaments though, they'll have to figure out and run them. Pretty much all the previous people who ran the old tournaments are long gone, and I'm not going...

A few ships from my game. The biggest one is the harvester, and the second-to-last one is obviously alien.
Are you making a shmup with those?

The PBC cost was cranked up at my recommendation due to shot immunity to interceptors, similar to the Particle Cannon. The only defenses are Flux Shields and Deflectors. PC spam could be utterly brutal - the gun is fairly small and the fast moving shots are hard to avoid. They may scatter a lot of ...
