Re: my ships :-)

Please press the "home" key to set it to default zoom (before pressing F9 to take the screenshot). This will make the images not so huge and ship sizes can be assessed.

They're as opposite as i can get.

HG: Heavens Grace: sky blue watery colors, smooth ships, and peaceful law abiding faction personality.

HLB: Hells Last Battalion: fiery colors, mechanical industrial ships, and chaotic raider faction personality.

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

Getting back into the flow of working on my faction ships. HLB Defense platform (light) (They're based on demons, so a pentagram defense platform seemed fitting. Extremely difficult to line up the shapes since "fine rotation step" doesn't work with mass rotation) PainStar (beta, still need...

Pros
Section variation
Interesting shape
Symmetry is correct

Cons
Too many guns
Some supports appear frail for their loadout
Holes in the hull (probably intended)

Re: Elements of Discord

I'll revise their combat statistics when I can. Avarice: Supposed to do that, it's a mining freighter. Treachery: I'll check the values against another ship from the DGW (cruiser class). At least it's pretty. It may be the wrong version. Cruelty: Heavy dreadnought, usually appears alone against your...

Re: Random performance/fps drop.

I kill everything else with the task manager. I also have a graphics card with 2gb and functions as an extra processor (it was on sale). Without optimization, those same conditions have an FPS of 40 to 50. A single ship (the neomachia) will drop it to 25 or so. Two of them drops it to 15. When they ...

Any missing sprites not provided can probably be found in my ini files (linked in my signature).
Easy, just extract to the custom sprites folder.

Re: Ship Maker Repack (Last updated 05/02/2013)

It is strongly recommended that you put some programs onto a cd or flash drive. Then delete them from your computer to free up some space. I recommend that you download a program called ccleaner. It will clean up unnecessary internet history and other temporary files. Having so little free space (pe...

Re: Random performance/fps drop.

BSF is a processor heavy game. It doesn't use single sprites. Each section, weapon, projectile, and doodad is individually animated each frame. Even an empty field is demanding. A good way to increase performance is to free up processor activity by closing active programs. Setting the game to fast m...

Re: Leaping Waters WIP

They are simply the method that the scanners detect things. This list isn't complete and I left out technical descriptions to leave room for scifi details on part of the author. Author being anyone who wants to describe their scanner technology. It appears here because there seems to be a discussion...

Download winrar. It's a small program that can handle many file formats. Also, it's free.

Either your hard drive is small or you downloaded too much music. In either case, delete something. There is always something you can delete to clear the 50mb this game needs.

Re: Ristyo's Ships?

Looks better. Now it needs color.

Space station. Right click the core and change it to a space station core. Set spotted and acceleration to zero. It will rotate based on its turning stat. 1 = rotation every 10 seconds. I think that's the correct math.

Re: Leaping Waters WIP

The ships are good. I never said they weren't. If you are going to keep up this opened design, future ships could take inspiration from the lotus flower and it's many petals. It seems to be a good idea for designing the larger battleships of this faction.
