Wicky's Assorted Ships
Moderators: th15, Moderators
So, custom-section ship is on hold in favour of some Starcraft 2 fanboyism:
Any ideas on how to arm it - beyond the Yamato Cannon obviously, heh?
Also, any better ideas for the wings - if there's one thing it's hard to do in BSF it would be making large, flat areas look good :S
Source material came from that nifty SC2 sketch - the grey n turquoise one. Blue bits are team colour.

This is awesome, not really any spam or anything. It seems rather small based on some of the sections you used, but thats impressive and will make for great fleets. Only thing that bugs is the wing cannons being double layered. put more detail into that and the engines.
The peons demand a Terran Command Center! and a transforming siege tank, even though that makes no sense!

Thanks for the idea Ixra, the sec_01 cleaned things up nicely.
Trying to work out where to put secondary weapons. Don't want them on the hammer-head, cos in this game that would just be silly. Wing tips? Neck section? Or maybe where the front of the wings join the main body? I really can't decide

The first and second generations largely use stock sprites, though the Juggernaut and Carrier have a few random ones in as well.
The Alliance Cruiser is mostly my own unreleased sections, the blue and orange ship is completely my own unreleased custom sections, and the Battlecruiser is a combination of my own (again unreleased, heh), stock and Eri's fuel rods.
If anyone likes these sections enough then I could pack 'em up and release them, but Arc reckons that I'm no good at custom section-ing so I didn't think it worth the effort, heh.

Good job, this might be the best ship you've built untill now overall in terms of custom section usage. The floodlights are a nice touch. Now WYRDYSM DEMANDS GUNS!

Use missile-based FCS'* for bigass blasters mounted on the tips of the wing pylons, and maybe some turrets on the neck... you could do some neat outward-facing sponson styled mounts under the blue neck blocks to cover broadsides too.Wicky_42 wrote:Trying to work out where to put secondary weapons.

Updated Terran BC:
Now armed with a torpedo-based Yamato Cannon, four heavy wing-tip pulse lasers fired using a missile-based FCS, two medium pulse-laser batteries, firing in salvos of three (as the SC II BC appears to so, albeit with only one cannon), and down each side of the neck are six light pulse laser cannons, again linked with a FCS for saturation fir against light flanking craft.
In addition to all this laser-y stuff I'm experimenting with missile batteries. Currently there's four anti-capitol missile tubes mounted down the leading edges of the wings, though that's pretty un-canon.
Oh, and when I say 'lasers', think Star Wars Blasters
Edit: Subbed it into the Beauty Pageant, so I'll release it here as well:
