Unnamed ship is still unnamed but done. Now in 3 colors!

I tried duplicating the aegis glow gradient, which slowed my computer down to a crawl.

Whoever, I was able to copy the Weasel effect with little ill effect.

Excellent work.

I think I just pooped a little at seeing this ship. It's just awesome.

Midterms over, finally got around to arming this thing. Unfortunately, arming it borked the weapon textures.

As cool as it is to have beams that fire out at a 45 degree angle and then go forward, that isn't how it's supposed to behave. Oddly enough, accidentally hitting the options key and then exiting the options menu fixed it.

More updates to come after I finish CS projects.

Ya, that happened to me a while back, I don't know why. I restarted the game and it was fine, and seeing as it seems to have fixed itself for you, do you plan to give us a pic with the weapons firing properly?

I'm home for the weekend and don't have the sb3 with me, and I'm preoccupied with a huge CS project, but after this weekend I'll have all the free time in the world to finish the ship. More pictures and a download will be up then.

O.o!!! That ship is awesomez!!! It's so tasty... I liked the red version though as it brings back good memories of a squadron in a game I abandoned.

Awesome ship though. Can't wait for dl.

Update, rearmed it and swapped the tachyons for drivers. Excuse the thruster misalignment on the right side, those are fixed, just not in the screenshot. Some of the pulsars and drivers also look odd due to the fact that they don't like to rotate around the center point, but they are centered properly, or at least they should be. Also excuse the fact that the point beams are still white, they still crash when they are different colors.

Final updates along with name and backstory to come this weekend hopefully.

Looks awesome, can we see it firing? To change the colour of point beams, change the outer colour, if you try to change the colour, it fails.

Outer colour? What do you mean by that?

Point Defense Lasers have a "beam color" and an "outer color."

Merde, they actually do.

They what?

Well hot damn, why in the world didn't I notice that before? It's really not all that impressive firing, I tried to do some spiffy thing with a main beam and some weasels but the weasels don't quite work like I want them to, so it's been replaced with a massive driver instead.

I'll get some more pics up on the weekend, gotta finish a few things due on Friday first.

They actually do have a second colour option.
