A uh, really big ship?

I do have the ship files, just not the blueprints for the ship editor.

This is the one on the right...

...And this would be the center ship.

Have fun, and enjoy the overpoweredness of the two, especially the phoenix.

Thanks very much I will sure as hell have fun with these beasts

plus I wasn't really interested in the Blueprints much anyway, I only wanted the awesome ships

Whoa, those beasts put the battle into Battleships Forever.

How's the performance with those?

New mode? Think 1 allien and 1 friendly super battleship. Grinder-like fleet setup for the player and Grinder-like waves of enemy ships incoming. Side who loses it's bs (ha) loses the game.
Maybe limiting the selectable/spawning ship classes to patrol and destroyers?

th15 has said he won't be adding in any new Skirmish modes, so you'll need to make Sandbox do for that.

Not yet at least...

The performance on my system with these two ships is suprisingly really good lol, had one hell of a battle with my two custom gunships your ship got pwned because of its speed and turning but the damage was still pretty bad concidering how small my gunships are.

Oddly, I like the shape of the older ship on the right more then the newer ones too.

I think the super ship I made works pretty well as an alien super-ship. It's grossly overpowered though. I had it kill an enemy of itself, around 200 alien raiders, and about 30 alien dreadnoughts, and all that happened was a wing got blown off, but the guns were still there, floating in space. Structural confusion.

But it looks cool

I like the shape of the older one, but its not really built with any sort of purpose, just with guns slapped on. It was built before the resizing and rotating of pieces came along and before I really understood the weapons and systems.

Performance is actually pretty decent if you're not selecting them, which tends to drop the FPS quite a bit. Once you get all three on screen though it starts to lag a bit.

Zero's alien ship seems like it would be a pretty good counterpart to my ships, minus the megabeamers every three pixels of course =P. Another thing is while I seem to be able to conjure up massive ships, building massive space stations seems to be impossible for me for some reason, so don't be expecting any of those any time soon.

Status update on the next ship I'm building: I have this sort of flying wing kinda shape which I know makes no sense cause it's in space, but it's currently devoid of weaponry because I'm stuck deciding if I should make it like a flying fortress kinda thing or a giant artillery platform.

Sorry for the double post, but I felt like sharing this =P.

It's actually very inefficient at killing things, it just looks cool.

Which was the main thing I noticed when I was able to take it out with one of my gunships. (Tho I think i'll do a little work on your battleship to make it truly overpowered

)

This isn't the ship I was building, but just something I felt like building for fun.

It's called the Forge, and it's a (barely) mobile shipyard of sorts. It takes up all the space in the ship editor, and is rather fragile as it's built outward from the core in either direction looping around until it reaches the center of the outsides. To remedy this the entire outer edge is covered in armor plating, but it still seems rather easy to destroy. It's rather incomplete and currently only has a couple of gatblasters and a flak gun array, but it doesn't seem like it has much of a real use in game anyway. There's also that weird depth bug that I keep getting when I mirror stuff, which explains the strange overlapping parts.

I tried to put one of my other ships inside of it originally before it had the struts crossing over, but it still didn't quite fit, so...larger ship editor size please =P?

I don't know how to use the .rar files (I personally use .zip files to compress large blueprints for uploading), but those other two ships are pretty damned cool...

You know, I find it's actually not critically laggy unless you select the big ships... hmm... maybe TH should look at that...

Just download WinRar. Handles both zips and rars, in addition to other stuff.
