1. Nice ships. Quite a variety, and you've got some cool asymmetric ones. I prefer symmetry, but you did a pretty nice job pulling off the asymmetric look. 2. PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy (or unholy, if that's your thing) crop, shrink, or text link your images. I'm on highspeed and my sc...

Summary of all things involving alien civilizations and offense: DavidBeoulve used the Bismarck Type-D for his unbalanced ship Demo, Aralonia said this was a bad example because it wasn't even part of his fleet. DavidBeoulve apologized. The alien civilization was something else. Someone brought up t...

This is a really nice ship. Thanks to the low section health, it's really not as unbalanced as you claim, and it's really fun to play around with. Only problem with using this in a Mothership Tournament would be those railguns. They'd cut through just about every 100 point ship.

It's a really cool idea. As to how to run it, I'm not sure. I'd try to keep the first post updated with the newest ship to beat.

It's still a somewhat early WIP (unfinished hull, no paint job, needs rebalancing, etc.), so no download yet. Since you asked, though, I'll go ahead and PM you a download to what I have so far.

Bravo, these ships are amazing. I love the common design traits shared among them- I've been trying to do that with my fleet as well. It's a realism element that I find missing from most custom fleets out there. Your Grinder test system is brilliant. I intend to fully test my fleet using your method...

The new S-11 is looking pretty sweet. Fun to play with, too.

Can't wait for the new Despot.

First, read the Stickies/various FAQs around the boards. They answer this question.

Aegis generators require a target segment. Select the generator, hover over the ship segment you want to assign it to, and press "T."

For hotkeys (and other instructions) , open Shipmaker and press F1.

On the S-11. If you want to continue with the repairing theme, I'd go with either one Nano in the middle, or if you want to push it a bit, two in opposite corners. This means that your four Aegis "arms" that currently hold the Nanos wouldn't be necessary, and you could get away with conver...

First up, the Blister. The new design is actually pretty nice. It's a bit simplistic, and I see a few problems with the mirroring (it's off a few pixels here and there- easy fix). As far as the functionality of the ship, you're close, but not quite there. First, you're lacking segments. Segments are...
