Re: Back to Building!

I think it lacks some of the character of the first one, but you did a great job of transferring the concept to shiny.

Re: Gunmax - Anna's Random Ship Repository

This is gorgeous and hasn't received half the attention it deserves. The blue sections toward the front kind of bother me because it seems like an abrupt change in hull color rather than the additional armor plates covering the hull that I assume they are meant to be(such as the pieces on the nacell...

Re: FighterBay Beta Release

This is impressive! Something we've needed for a long time... I see that we can set speed and turning, but would acceleration be an possible addition for future versions? I found that low acceleration and high turning made for the best Babylon 5 type dogfights so they don't just dart around like dem...

Interesting games: The series

Watched some pretty interesting videos on Kinetic Void today. It's an Indie game that focuses on shipbuilding from the ground up using many sections. This is pretty much what I would envision BSF being like after a few more...well lets be honest, decades? I'm downloading the shipbuilder demo right n...

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

Agreed, I like the look though. Maybe some support engines on the side, that end up looking like they are under the cargo containers?

Re: Hidden Cannon Tutorial

Oh I know, it was mostly sarcastic. Just thought it would be funny to hear all the rage about the inner workings of the game and how people design ships. He has a pretty good caster voice actually.

Re: Hidden Cannon Tutorial

This is cool! Its been awhile since anyone did a detailed tutorial and its nice to see how active you are. Keep it up!
Am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious to watch a 'lets play' video of Battleships Forever by Anna?

Re: War for the Universe - SAR ships

Those platforms are badass...More like those! For working stealth if you can have tiny invisible sections that rotate fast around your ship at the range you want their sensors to fail, the effect will be as if they know you are there but can't get a direct lock. I never figured out how to do it with...

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

Some pretty original ideas here. Not the best section work but from a distance some of those look interesting. Just keep refining your designs and try a range of sprites to see what works well. For instance I get why you used those sprites for Pestilence but you might achieve similar curves with the...

Re: Deltabacon's grumpy new year.

Oo I really like the use of the darker sections; the doodads too. If you add any secondary weapons, especially point defense, some kind of arc beam would look neat. Why are the engine glows showing through the nozzles? Not that it looks bad. Hmm now I wanna see that main weapon fire...

Re: Back with a new ship :D

I like the Sanguine, reminds me of a water skater ... Not a fan of those rocket fuel tank bits and how they look tacked on, but I see what you were going for at least. As for the unfinished one, I would personally turn it around and try building forward from there. Maybe throw some engines on each o...

Re: Hows the community

I like it! It's a good size and everything seems to fit together well. Only part that bugs me is how thin that neck piece is just because it breaks up the sturdy look. Definitely a worthwhile design though. I agree the background is a bit jarring and takes away from it. I think the community is just...

Holy crap Doogie, that is pretty evil looking. I would love to see that style on a larger ship.

Re: Thingy things by Shamrocksoldier

Well the little circles on those four blue pieces by the engines would work well for mounting guns. The grey piece on either side of the middle could probably fit a missile launcher if you use the right cover sprite. Alternatively, you could just hide lasers or something under the antennas.
