The Chain Ship Project

Verminator brought up a interesting idea. It follows:
How about a chainship? Someone makes a basic start, then successive shipbuilders alter it bit by bit until it's perfected.
I though it might be a interesting project. So I began this Topic.

So basically, we start with a something. I made this as a start, however since this is the first of its kind, it might be better if we start with a plain core or something else. It is up to you guys.

Anyways, from there, you takes the ship and build alittle on it. When you finish you post a Picture. Then the next person takes it and builds alittle more, and posts a picture afterward. This process continues until we agree that the ship has reached a point where we can call it finished.

You have 24-48 Hours to do your piece. That's all.

Of course there's things we'll have to figure out along the way, such as a color scheme, armament, a Name, and such. I won't be surprised if we argue a bit about how it should look. But hopefully I think we'll figure it out once it gets rolling.

So what do ya say? Lets get going!

You should make it so that people will have to post that they're doing it before making the ship to insure that the chain ship doesn't diverge somewhere because two people built off the same one. Then give them 24 hours... or whatever.

I Probably put a list of who has it now, and who has already worked on it.

Also I might do it as a First come first serve basis. So since Arcane looks like the eager one he may start first. Unless you want to do it ASM?

Second to multiplayer battle, coop building would be a wicked addition to the next version! I will take a turn at it if noone minds, but no rush. I'll let the pros get part of the hull built first. What are the limits on how much you can add, just so we don't have someone turning in a practically finished ship?

Shouldn't a decision be made as to where this ship should go, and what type of ship this will be? It would probably be pretty bad if one person wants it to have an industrial feel, then the next one wants an alien feel.

Anyway, I'd like to join in on this, but I have exams until the sixteenth so...

Realtime multiplayer shipbuilding!
Guy A: 'Stop colouring that freaking piece orange, it look HORRIBLE'
Guy B: 'Well, if you'd stop restretching that section 26, we might get somewhere...'
Guy A: 'Alright, if that's the way you want it... *deletes Guy B's half*'
Guy B: *spams sections all over Guy A's half*
Um, Hiant, Have you been reading?

Well since this is kind of an experiment, currently there is no limit. However I am relying on the shipbuilders to be responsible enough not to build the entire ship in one shot. I will be constructing some rules as this goes along, in an effort to prevent problems, such as the 24-48 Hours rule which will be posted up shortly.

However, if someone does something like that it will be rejected and dismissed, because they are ruining the Idea of this project.

Oh yes, somebody facepalm Hiant.
