The Third BSF Beauty Pageant - FINISHED!

[DeathsHand]

Ok, a quick question. Can I post a fleet that is part of a larger 4 fleet package here in the pageant, and then post it along with the other three in a separate thread later, once they are completed? Is this acceptable?

[ArcaneDude]

If you submit only one fleet in the BP, why not?

And THAT is the most retarted yet unimaginably funny avatar I have ever seen.

How long does entry normally stay open?

How long does entry normally stay open?

Usually until the date set for entries to be open until.

Ship entries are open until the 1st of June.

oh my bad, didn't notice that

Here's my Fanship submission, the TEC Kol Battleship from Sins of a Solar Empire:

Ship Battle Pic (also from SoaSE) (Warning: Large image):


I used a hell of a lot of doodads to get that colour effect. The ship also has 2 of the special abilities that it can get in SoaSE, Flak Burst and Gauss Rail Gun. To get Flak Burst to work as a weapon, you have to select the flak turret near the core and toggle the intercept mode to offensive, using the 'I' key.
Backstory is in the ship description.
Note: Some of the turrets are doubled up because are also turrets on the bottom of the ship.

I am so tempted to submit my Alpharia...

@bl3d4: The colours!

[RavingManiac]

I was not aware that bl3d4 could make reasonable ships...

EDIT: Now that I am sober, I take that back

My cone cells are still not aware of this fact.

Here is my entry for original ships: The Nor Creature Carrier.

Indeed, the Nor have returned again. For those of you who don't know (pretty much everyone I guess) the Nor first appeared as a species of hypermutational organisms flying around in insectiod starships covered in glowing energy fields. They were driven into the depths of ocean planets by the Mystar, where they sat for hundreds of years evolving and improving themselves.

When they emerged, it was revealed that they had dumped their space-proof energy fields for a fast-regenerating skin which was much more energy efficient. But being a ravenous race, they began to eat their way through the galaxy once more (but they were wise enough to leave a small amount of life on each world to replenish the food supply). This time, several races (including the Auriak and the Mystar) rose to do battle with the Nor, and beat them to the very edge of the galaxy.

But now, yet hundreds of years later, the Nor have decided to come out of hiding again, and have taken on entirely new forms. Their ships are now covered in a tough carapace and they sport many new weapons. The thing at the top of this post is the Nor Creature Carrier, a massive beast hosting many interesting symbiotes.

Starting at the front, we have a firebug launcher at the nose of the carapace. This fires volleys of three fast moving lifeforms which immolate on launch. they buzz around enemy starships as they explode, burning more and more of their biofuel (they have stores of oxygen inside them to make the reaction happen) until they disappear.

To the sides of the energy field projectors (a relic from their original forms) are the carapace crawlers. These creatures anchor themselves to the carrier and spit explosive spikes at incoming projectiles. A carapace crawler is also present on each wing shell (excuse the picture, that is fixed in the download).

At the crest of the forward carapace is the fragmentation worm launcher. A fast moving purple worm ejects itself from this organ and writhes through space, eventually exploding into several miniture worms which jump around the target.

At the front of the middle carapace (directly above and below the frag worm launcher) are the spark bug launchers. They fire volleys of five chemical-loaded bug things toward the enemy. They are very fast and have their own guidance and propulsion system, and can be difficult to intercept do to their numbers.

Behind those are two buzzer bays on each side of the ship. They are identical to demeter drones in every way.

At the rear of the ship are two shock worm launchers. Like the bigger one at the front, these fire a worm at the enemy. These worms are smaller and green, and leave an explosive chunk of biomatter at their detonation point. Most effective when the enemy is moving into them.

Each wing, as well as housing the drive system, carries an organ which spits dangerous biohazard waste at incredible speeds. Unlike the other weapons used by this vessel, the bio sludge spitter is not a separate lifeform.

The ship also carries three special organs which pump supercharged healing microbes to any place they are needed. The microbes can even be thrown to objects outside of the ship, aiding damaged allies.

Due to its heavy carapace and tough organic characteristics, the Creature Carrier is quite difficult to destroy. Its ravenous symbiotes also dispense with enemies quickly. The ship is also quite fast, but needs time to get up to its top speed. It maneuvers very poorly, sliding past its opponents while spraying its little beasties at them.

Everyone, there's still three weeks left to submit ships and fleets! Come on. Give it a shot. I know there are plenty of fine shipbuilders who have yet to make any submissions. We particularly need more fleets.

We're all judging, though or at least most of us are

NO.

You submit one ship for the Original Ships Catagory. ONE. Not three different variations of the same ship. :x Pick one variant to submit, or submit a different ship altogether. This is not a valid entry and will be ignored until then.
