I think that's just Arcalane's player colors.

Yup. Only colours I actually changed were those of the aegis and the section 9's used to mount the thrusters.

Shipmaker actually changes player colours when you load up ships now, which is kinda handy.

Ed: What's wrong with run-on sentences outside of grammatical errors? It was that or a list. At least I used commas instead of lots of "ands".

ARGH! I just realized I forgot to change the colour of the sections that house the auxiliary thrusters. Next person who comes after me can do that, not a big deal. Just get the right shade of orange and it'll be all good.

ah I c, my bad commodore.

Nice work on the latest version. However at this rate we will either need to make the main guns on wing sections off the forward hull, or move the core forward and expand the hull. Only cuz those engines are awesome but theres way too many for a ship that size...although if you have thrusters on each one that affect the speed, that could be a good weakness for the ship, especially if the smaller ones are the manuvering...

They have no effect currently, but could be altered to lower handling statistics when destroyed.

I'm okay with being before M, I wanted to do exterior armoring and fix general problems with the ship.

K im back on my computer. Anyway ill do doodads and other visual effects, can I be at the end or near the end? Im not going to add any real structure to the ship, just visual effects.

PS I found a really nice way to make lines besides uber stretching parts. get a line doodad, then set start index to .5 and speed to 0, there you go, a solid strait line.

Some things to say, but I'll start out with this.
------------
IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE LIST IS NOW CLOSED!!! NO MORE ENTRANTS PASS THIS POST!!!
------------
However I don't think anybody else was going to join anyway. But just in case...

Also to all entrants that are left:
If as a whole, we find the ship hull "finished", before your turn is finished, I'm sorry, but your turns will be terminated. However you can save youself, if you can make a VALID and USEFUL dibs on something. Don't go dibbing on something somebody else is doing because it will be denied.

Also if the next 3 people end in the skip list then all unstickied, non dibbing persons will be dropped.

Bad Boy has been dropped. The ships gonna be finished before your available. Don't Fret however, there will be others.

Moving on:
At Comm111: Are you sure your Comm111? Not a Parakeet in disguise? I mean seriously, I was getting worried that I was being cheated into giving you 2 turns.

Anyway, I'll give you the dibs on Doodads. Just DON'T add a Main Gun please, ok.

At Arc: Nice Job. And Yeah, I think it's near the finishing point by now. All it needs now is an Official Color Scheme (Whether it be "Custom Colored" or the Player Color Codes), More weapons (And appropriately tuned), and some more fine tuning of sections and such. The Hull however, Not so much. Everyone can still, but be VERY weary of how you do it. And Finally, did you PM Raul?

And... I think that's it. The only other thing I think was a Back story for this thing when it's finished, since arc brought it up.

And of course if anybody disagrees with anything, just say so.

Done.

Thx. PS does this count as doodads?

Made entirely out of line doodads, non animated.(The blue bar behind the test ship)

Post by **Arcalane** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:12 am

No I haven't had a chance to PM Raul yet.

jwa8402 · Post by **jwa8402** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:58 am

meh, go ahead and drop me. I'd love to contribute but based on the current style I honestly can't think of anything useful, so I'd rather not take someones turn.

Raul · Post by **Raul** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 11:07 am

wow I'm not saying the ship is bad, but up close there are so many random parts jammed in here...You guys could have been alittle more conservative.
anyway I'm working on it.

@ Raul: Well, I'll admit, compared to AD's brick addition it is allittle messy in the front. If you think you can clean it up some without ruining it then go ahead. As is, we also have BoVine and Minja, who I think will be doing similar tidy-up work themselves.

@ Jwa8402: Your not taking up anybody's turn, but if thats what you want, then it will be done.

@ Comm111: Uh, if it's made of doodads, then I'm pretty sure it qualifies as doodads

.

@ Arc: Yeah, Had a feeling... So I did it myself.

Well, with the list updated now, all that is left is Daxx. Then the Finishing work can be done.
