I know this is a bit spam like but I thought it appropriate to post this in my thread and this one for those who don't check my site or thread. You can find the ships below on my page.

I made further adjustments to the Thanatos and Hephetus designs, removing the alien section I used and making some minor weapons readjustments for game balance.

EDIT: Here they are

I've been thinking about some ships of a more tactical advantage than just mass fire power, every fairly design ship will have a way of being defeated, so I came up with some ideas.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... /Aegis.shp
This is the Aegis, it is designed to create an area of safety for other ships, slow moving and with not much in the way of attack. It can heal, shield and protect other ships with its large anti weapon system. the ship itself is not too flimsy either.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... adside.shp
This one is called the Broadside, it has no forward facing weaponry to speak of, but instead is used to destroy flanking units to avoid side and rear attacks, anything that tries to slip by your fleet will be shot to peices, leaving the rest of the ships to concerntrate on the enemy infront of them.
Best not ysed in a direct fight as it can be a bugger to target with.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... Bypass.shp
One of my weirdest designs, the Bypass has only rear facing lasers, but more than enough to take a big chunk out of something. The idea behind this ship is that it flys past its target completely, and once past it doesn't have to turn to fire, leaving the enemy ship completely open for a nasty attack, great against front shielded ships. It moves pretty damn fast but has a slow turning circle, the idea being to get behind as fast as possible taking as few hits as you can.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... ershot.shp
Finally the scattershot, not as much tactical thought on this one, small damage weapons that cover a wide area doing damage to large groups at once, if the scatter shot survives long enough its great at taking out groups, but its isnt particularly strong, so it does tend to fall apart if left undefended.

Screenshots will follow when I can, yes they are damn ugly, but they are functional.

Thats a very vague reply, which ship is over powered and why, in what way? Constructive critism is welcome, that however is bordering on insult. I want them balanced, but I personally don't see whats wrong with them.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... hblade.shp
Switchblade: Battleship, probably needs balancing aswell, but i'm not any good at that it seems, so opinions on this and the other ships would be appriciated, constructive opinions that is.

Let me know how balanced you think these are please guys and girls.

The basic hull design is the same in each variant. I don't think the number of weapons is excessive in any of the builds, indeed the most powerful part of the design are the armour sections along the outer edges.

Download

Notes:

Monolith A : Heavy Cruiser
The 4 Beamers make up the main armourment. Giving good foward damage. The 2 Tachyon cannon were added to deal with heavily shielded ships.

Monolith B : Assault Cruiser
5 Quad blasters replace the 6 weapons on the other variants. Only 4 of them can be fired at a single target, and only 3 if the target is dead ahead.
This ship has the nano matrix replaced with a Lancet, because they are so damn useful.

Monolith C : Battle Cruiser
Surprisingly effective. With 2 Quad Blasters, 2 Plasma Torp launchers and 2 Tachyon cannons, the mixed shot speed makes point defence weapons go nuts trying to target and re target. Meaning the enemy ship gets a pummeling.

The A and C variants are best used to engage the enemy and pull back before the deflectors fail. They are not love sponges.

Hello People, welcome to the showing of a Pretty good Way of killing things.

Image

Here we have the Miner, Or Miner 409er if you like that better. Its armed with 2 point masters, 4 Mine Lazers, and a Gravity Gun. If you havent Noticed before, I edied the Fireing Arcs on the Lazers. You may be wondering why I did that, And I have the answer: I think Miner ships would have a better time Lazering a Asteroide if it was at point blank range, So it can be cut with better Persition, Or some unlucky ship.

Image

Aw Great, Some raiders decided to bully me, Fuck this shit, No more running.

Image

"Get Over Here!"

Yes, I'm useing my Gravity gun to bring that Sorry SOB over here, But for what you ask? I'm Gonga Mine his ass.


Image

Mmmmm.....Tastey!

Image

(it took two trys, But I got that SOB)

Image

Now time for his brother.

But you get the Idea now, Right?

Yet Agen, I bring one more ship that I hope makes it into the next Missionsz!

Image

I prezent Colonel Hong's ship - "Steam" *finger wink*

My guess is, after the latest mission you beat with him, Fleet Hq would proboly Promote him and you for a nice job stoping the First half of the Alien attack, and proboly Give him a Better ship to help you with the Alien superweapon seeing how it looks like hes gonga tag along with you.

Image

Hes sure something to fight.

Here are some ideas I first put forward in the Hestia Alpha topic. A few are retooled versions of ships that showed up earlier in this thread. I might go back and readjust the weapons loadouts later.

Name: Mars Cannon

Class: Battleship

HP: 300

Speed: 0.50

Turning: 0.25

Accelertation: 0.05

Weapons:
10 Beamers
4 Point Masers
4 Point Beamers

Modules:
1 Deflector

AI Range: 700-should be closer to the back of a fleet, protected by nearby ships.

Picture:

All 10 beamers are in a single location, and they have practically no pivot. The way they are, it's like a death beam. This ship should be soley used for long range heavy bombardment, with an abiltiy to tear through anything that's not shielded. Low HP, low manuverability, and lack of any offensive weapons-outside of the beamers-make this very reliant on support from other ships.




Also, now that I think about, this could be the Alien's superweapon. I can easily redo with Alien parts, and tweak it's weaponry a bit. In any case, I uploaded this(as MarsCannon), so you can try it yourself. If it's still unblanced as is, tell me, and I'll try to rectify it. However, it's keeping the Beamers. Also, I'm not sure how to post that code thing for the ship. How do I do that?

Got it.

Removed the Point Masers, toned down the Beamers to 6. Added two Aegis Deflectors, and another normal part.

Image

Current Stats:

Name: Mars Cannon

Class: Battleship

HP: 300

Speed: 0.50

Turning: 0.25

Accelertation: 0.05

Weapons:
6 Beamers
4 Point Beamers

Modules:
2 Aegis Deflectors

AI Range: 650-should be closer to the back of a fleet, protected by nearby ships.


The Beamers can't be hit unless the added part or any of the AD's are destroyed. However, the parts of the ship where the AD's are connected to(The big blocks on the back corners) are exposed to fire.

If it's too unbalnced, I'll make further changes until it's balanced enough to potentially be in the game.

Okay, nothing I say will convince you. Instead, just download the latest version of Mars Cannon(version 3) and try it out for youself. Go into sandbox mode, and pop one up as an enemy. Try getting it with a Hestia Alpha(ctlr+ins "10") and see what happens.

Anyway, I've made some more thoughts, and I've yet again made some adjustments to my Hephestus design:

Image

I replaced the forward point masers with scatterbeams, and adjusted firepower accordingly by downgrading the gatpulse guns protected by the Aegis shield to regular pulse guns. Also note that, except for the tachyon cannons and aforementioned pulse guns, all weapons actually sit outside the Aegis deflectors, which means that while you can't destroy that section, you can still pick off the weapons. Also note that the Aegis deflectors themselves are now much, much more exposed, and the rearward weapons arc has been greatly decreased, now just two scatterbeams, two point masers and coverage from the gatpulse guns which now have 360 degree coverage.


UPDATE:


Image



Because the point masers are more powerful, I've reduced them down to two, and other adjustments.

Ok, I made another ship, but...it's not showing up...


Also, in the process of trying to make it show up, I accidentally deleted my avatar :roll:
