The Detros, up there... Hestia for size-comparison...

(Link Removed for brokenness! It's under "Detros" in the ship database, but I suggest Detros2. Fixed.)

It's, er, something I put together after watching the videos... I hope it's not too overpowered, if it is, I can quickly modify the problem, (assuming I'm told what it is...) Hope it gives you some challenge, assuming you battle it!

I find the videos amusing, and I like your music choices. Nice job on 'em! (The videos, that is.)

Experiments with hybrids of Terran and Nanz technology were conducted on a secret space station, known as the Hybrid Project. Combining the sturdiness of Terran hulls, with powerful Alien weaponry and Aegis Generators, the Hybrid Project was born - virtually indestructible, with devastating amounts of weaponry.

It went rogue - everyone onboard the Hybrid Project died.

Now, the Hybrid Project is simply abandoned in space, destroying anything in sight.

It is up to YOU HAVE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD to destroy The Hybrid Project.

Good luck!

: ) i killed it ! and it took 2 lives for it

1. There is an edit button - people find it annoying when others double post.

2. Don't quote large pictures! Arrrgh!

3. Also, my boss was built to be beatable, while causing as much havoc as possible.

You might have defeated my previous bosses, but can you escape the maw of the GARGANTUA?

It just had its colours inverted.

I need tips with multi core 2.

Just a simple boss I made for fun:

believe this is what you were looking for. Only the Metal Fox (or some other ship that uses tactics) can defeat the Sweeper and its Broom Of Death!

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... fixed).zip

(Specific cheese: each corner section is protected by 3 aegises from the other corners; the one megabeam has 0 clipsize - though only 0.10 damage so that one can get hit then survive long enough to get out of the way.)

EDIT: I give up trying to make the full path a link. (The non-fixed version turned out to be a little too easy...)

'K. So, I'll tone down things, but... Any specific things you think need to be changed? It'd help if y'could specify! =D

So far, I'm thinking, tone down the damage on the Plasma Launchers, change the sidewinders, and, most importantly...

Get rid of the tellers.

Having gotten rid of the tellers and tested it properly; they were the problem. Apologies. Gonna upload a fix, after the rebalancing. Until then, er... I suggest deleting them. Blagh! =/ Apologies for uploading a broken ship. Seriously.

EDIT: http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... etros2.sb2

There it is. I toned down the damage on the Plasma-Bursts, got rid of the tellers, toned down the damage on the Mega-Tachyons also, and then moved the quad-blasters to a more vulnerable position. I took to it, and took it out after losing 2 lives, without any practice...

It should be possible now! Still looks the same, for the most part... The quad blasters are on a different spot, but, that's it. NOW, it should be good! Apologies for uploading a broken (difficulty-wise, and programming-wise) ship previously.
