I count 30 guns and two missile launchers.

Hence I classify it as a Supercarrier.

Excellent job.
I never really liked the other ships, they were well done, and quite nice, but I just didn't particularly like them (except for the fighter.
The carrier on the other hand is amazing. Great shape, section use, everything, and, most importantly (for me), I really like it. It reminds me of the White Base/Archangel/Whatever from most any gundam, mainly due to the layered sloping centre. Also, the runways are well done, I never did manage to pull them off well.

My only complaint, and this applies to all the ships, is that the engines are kind of puny looking, but assuming you put thrusterexs there, I suppose that's not really a problem.

I don't get it, I'm talking about runways on a ship in IRC, the idea gets bashed off like hell, and now this ship is somehow great (of course) with the runways!

Were you getting bashed because they didn't think you are capable of making runway sprites properly, or were they saying that runways in space don't make sense?

Whoa, I never recieved so many compliments for making a fleet or a ship before, I am honored. By the way, I have put the downloads online, and had added some more details on some of the ships. Hope that you would enjoy, also added a 'what to do next' poll, I need some ideas of what to make next.

Its awesome that you released the download but I'm annoyed that the file system for new sprites hasn't been more closely regulated. Alot of the folders I download for other players ships have the same sprites I got from the custom content page but with different names, meaning I can't combine them. Shoulda started with each builder having a name folder like jwa/jwa_sec, jwa/jwa_bullets instead of all those sub folders in custom sprites. It takes awhile just to open my bsf directory!
Sorry for rant, I will enjoy playing with these!

Sorta added a textwall.

Edit: I need some feedback upon the testing of my fleet, please post them here.

TIS IS NOT A NERCO!!!!!!

Well, updating this topic with the BP fleet entry, so you guys can give me some feedback here. And I need many C&Cs to make this fleet spotless and perfect.

You're well within the 3 month limit, Cheesy. You're probably fine. And besides, it was a bump to add new content. Perfectly legitimate.

ArcaneDude · Post by **ArcaneDude** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 4:21 am

It's a one month limit FYI.

VNilla · Post by **VNilla** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 4:28 am

Oh?! My bad. I thought it was a three-month.

EDIT: Yup, my mistake. However, he was posting new content, so I think he's justified.

The runway on the carrier is well done.

The whole fleet looks coherent, big plus for the pageant.

You're adding more ships, right? Can't wait to see battleships and cruisers.

War_Sage · Post by **War_Sage** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 7:31 am

Vary nice work, However 2 things.

1.I downloaded the sprites but some of them seem to be missing.
2.How did you get your fighters core to be that small?

CheesyErwin · Post by **CheesyErwin** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 8:35 am

@Squishy: I would probably add some heavy capships, say like a torpedo-whore cruiser and a full-fledged battleship?

@War_Sage: Hmm.... I think I probably missed out the Kae's Steampack, I will update it in the sprite's RAR. As for the fighters, you can use the civilian core, or the defense platform core, which has no bridge sprite on them, so that you can make small units, like fighters.
