Anty's forge - new retrofits

[ChaosTheory]

........

get out of my thread

So much for honesty. Would you rather I lie about your engines? Fine, they look incredibly awesome.

Secondarily, they are at a completely different angle from the rest of the ship, and seem unnatural.

You could fix the issue, you know.

[Daxx]

The angle that we perceive them at is a little too offset from the rest of the ship, I think. Getting the balance between the obvious 3D effect you're going for and maintaining perspective is tricky. Good job on them, though.

[Anty]

ok I changed the engines >_>

[Anty]

download for the Yrian mark III capital ship, it has some minor changes, I changed the engines, removed the deflectors, increased hp, added some weapons, and a huge shockwave generator in the central crystal, placed the core more to the back, and fixed a whole lot of parenting lines

because Spoot Knight claimed his ships were more powerfull I ran a dual between his inquisitor dreadnought and my yrian

*after a very long load both ships were finally on the battlefield



and started firing on each other. The yrian takes some damage



both taking damage but the yrian loses a large part of his front


iquisitor getting toasted by the constant stream of radiation....



....finally allowing the front to get blown of



followed by the back (causing framerate to drop rather far)



and the rest



causing not much to be left

[Spoot Knight]

Hmm...different results from different ends. I'm guessing it barely (If at all) used its foward beam cannons, since they usually have to be force-fired to be used.
When I did this myself, I also used the slashing beams on the sides after firing the foward beams, and alternated between sides of the ship in order to use all of the Inquisitor's firepower.
When the Yrian III was destroyed, the Inquisitor only suffered 73 damage to the core from the Yrian's main Railgun weapon.

Looked at the screenshots again...VERY different results. Wonder why the weapons were so devastating against my ship on your battle...

[natan_j]

Probably because his battle was most likely AI vs. AI. To see which ship is stronger, you usually need to host three matches, AI vs. AI, You vs. AI, and AI vs. You, to see the effects of smarter control of the ship. AI vs. AI tends to be very balanced, but, as you said, weapons that have to be force-fired don't get used.
Hmm, maybe I'll run a couple sims once I get home.
Edit: Looked at the pics again, and it seems that he had control of his ship, which would be a major factor, since then he could fire his force-fire weapons, if he had any.

[Anty]

I clicked attack and then nothing more

[natan_j]

Hmm, probably was his force-fire weapons not participating then.
Oh, and your ships ROCK. I love the aegis-glow effects

[Anty]

this is the outline of the ship I intend to make, it is rather big so it will probably still take weeks before its finally finished, I started with some of the core

[Droid]

Good lord, just the outline drops the game to 20 FPS.

[TheBlueEcho]

That Big Thing. NAH, It's that Load-Bearing Hestia to blame.

[Spoot Knight]

That Big Thing. NAH, It's that Load-Bearing Hestia to blame.

I lol'ed.
Wewt, more Titans!

[Ethril]

Just please, PLEASE, do not make the mistake of actually building from the outline... I'd hate for you to finish it only to discover that you have parenting errors out the ass and have to start over.


Of course, judging by your other ships, I'm sure that won't happen.

[natan_j]

Lol, you hit one certain piece, and the entire inside blows up. It would be cool though, with just that outline left. Oh, wait, all the debris would completely maul whatever was left. Nevermind.
