Maybe consider building a structure underneath the custom sections with ones that are more detailed so when those get blasted away it exposes the innards?

I like the new one.

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.

Holy Crap! That has to be the best battlecruiser I've seen. I like the searchlights. Maybe arm it with a long-bullet, fast speed blaster? That's what it looks like on starcraft to me at least. The only problem is the cluttered wing section.

I'd suggest a Particle Cannon blast using the red fraxy blast from my recent sprite pack update for the Yamato Cannon. Crank up the shot speed and disable submunitions, and it should be perfect.

That has got to be the best SC ship
i have ever seen on this fourm.
Great work.
Love the Searchlights

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!

Best Battlecruiser I've seen to date. The only part that bugs me is the front of the wings. Maybe a Kae_sec01 on top of some angle-edged piece would work there.

Finally a worthy Battlecruiser. You even got the bridge/wing proprtions right.

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

Nice fleet!
BTW, what are the needed sprites?
I mean besides the one that comes
with the stock.

The sooner you answer my tiny question
The sooner I can Download them.

TY in advance!!

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.

*(Fire control system, the driver of a turret/weapon)

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:
