Re: Anna's Shiny Ships - New Concept Ships on Page 4

I hate to burst the bubble, but I really. Do nawt. Like these ships. The contrast between the fleshy parts and the shiny parts is so great they just... don't look good. The flesh seems tacked on to the metal or vice versa. There's nothing wrong with them technique-wise, but aesthetically I don't thi...

Re: Preacher's ships, fleets and random designs.

I have to say most of these ships aren't exactly top notch. I am, however, eager to see more of the black and blue fleet. The sample you posted could use a bit more depthing but otherwise it's quite decent. More I say!

Re: Random acts of violence with shipmaker

I'm guessing you tried to build the Alliance cruiser? If not, that is a very poor Normandy. The corvette is OMGCYOOT though.

Re: Fifth Official BSF Beauty Pageant - STARTS NOW

Entry fixed. Sorry, I barely had the time to post it up before I had to hurry off to work.

EDIT; by the way, Anna, the link to my entry in the index post leads to the wrong page.

Seems to be.
By golly you are right. I ask pardon for this mishap.

That said, "Ascendant Justice" is a ship from one of the Halo novels. That's where I heard the name.

Re: The ship experiment

Nothing stock can ever tip Anna'es Ascendant Justice. Period. Neither do you longcat, and unless you try out for yourself you'll never find out. Except that *I* made a ship named Ascendant Justice. It was the THV juggernaught. That aside, there are probably hundreds of examples already of how far w...

Bi-furious? Seriously, Anna? Otherwise, I'm digging both fleets. It's been a while since I've seen a good ole' flying beam cannon.

Re: Random acts of violence with shipmaker

My fleet's balance sucked. I will, however, take a look at your shields, they seem way too powerful. Otherwise, I'd suggest a different look for the pulse phasers. I'll fiddle around a bit and see if I can show you what I mean. Okay, so I did some work on the Connie refit and the D-20, and with a fe...

I'm in for building of course.

But I don't think you'd have me touch the judging with a fifty foot pole. <_<

Re: Random acts of violence with shipmaker

Valdores are indeed tricky, they sucked at a large scale so I can only imagine how difficult they are to get right with just a few sections.
Anyhow, is there any chance of a preliminary DL? I'm interested in seeing the mechanics of these little goodies.

Re: Metagame content

Metagame custom content isn't all that new anymore, since the metagame was a while ago. Most if not all of the things in there can simply be found in the Custom Content archive, or in the metagame DL's.

Re: any ideas.....?

What he means is recoloring them in the ShipMaker. You do realize you can give any sprite on your ship a custom colour, right? I recommend doing exactly as calvin said. Otherwise, the second ship is actually fairly decent, it just needs a good colorscheme. The first one is...odd. I don't really like...

ADM: editing a .ini in notepad will take at least 10 times as long, that is IF you've memorized all the sprite names. Which you haven't.
