Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

Yeah you see the thing here is, I know that obviously converting low to high isn't going to make it any better but I figured if you're gonna be a big enough dick to whine about how the picture resolution isn't that great I'm gonna be a big enough dick to purposefully make it look bad in the format you want.

as per Anna style, a good maybe 3rd of the pieces are just wedge shapes with some minor difference. Here I'll change them to make them different wedges but it doesn't matter one bit.

and thats in .png


OR what type do you want me to use? some people shout about gif, other about png. seriously its a 2d game, higher res just means seeing more pixels.

Errr.... You might not want to do that. Look at Eyeburn's thread in the HOS.

Let me rephrase that.

Anna is a ship building god, not even gonna try to be as good as him. I'm just saying talking about using wedges as outline as his personal Style is like saying "YOU CAN"T USE SECTION 13 THATS MY SECTION". Its inane. Its no more a personal style then anything else here. He's just using it to great effect.

Being a smartass isn't going to keep everyone else from being a dick. :roll:

Nope but I figure a taste of their own medicine. Besides, can you really expect much else? If someone is a dick to you why go out of your way to be nice to them? Anyway you get gimp gifs now so forget that.

Got it to work. Arming now

edit
All armed and working. 4 modified rail guns as the secondary attack guns, 2 very wide angle and # of shots scatter beams for flanking defense and one "blue catapult" pulsar shotgun.

Red is done being built, in the process of arming.

Curious to know if you think I should continue the color ships or if you really don't like them. Hopefully these pictures are good enough.

It's due to his graphics settings as I don't see any artifacts.

All the graphic options turned on.

maybe this was why they looked bad earlier rather then the file type.

much better, thank you. And the ship is... interesting. The core effect is cool (if a bit jumbled, might want to fiddle with the angle/ placement of the sections a bit) however, the ship itself feels a bit... boring really. Beyond the core there is nothing there. Not really a bad thing (the ship is, rather obviously, built around the core) but you might want to build the other ships in the series a bit more out.

Yeah blue is a bit better. I'm just fiddling with it for now. Going through the colors. Hopefully I'll be able to do it on a large scale soon enough.

Atomize the rainbow

Ok, have red all armed.

Now nicknamed the Red storm for obvious reasons. Uses 4 Maelstrom energy injectors and a big bang device.

Big Bang device start up.

and end

The maelstrom in full effect (its not exactly "efficient", though it sure as hell gets the job done and is pretty to watch. Unbelievably helpful on those little buggers that keep outflanking you.)

Ok, basically in that picture what is MINE is red. The tachyon's are from the other ships. However right now I'm gonna try and make a Tachyon to try and replicate the effect as BEST I can.
