Make boss ships for The Metal Fox!

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!

Make boss ships for The Metal Fox!

Post by Bluhman »

So, basically, what happened is that I whipped up a tiny-but incredibly powerful-fighter ship.

Image
The Metal Fox.

Weapon Loadout - Upgraded Gatling Pulse Gun X 3
The Upgraded Gatling Pulse gun fires constantly, and has very high accuracy, as opposed to the terrible accuracy of an unupgraded one.

HP: 225
Speed: 9
Acceleration: .7
Turning: 5

A lightweight fighter ship. It's fast, has upgraded guns, and very good armor for its diminutive size.


So, basically, what I'm going to do is leave it up to you to build GARGANTUAN ships. Ones that can be like bosses to this ship; Ships that, with a bit of piloting, can be taken down by the Metal Fox, though scarcely by any other means.

So how do you make a super powerful ship that the Fox can defeat? Simple:


A narrow weak point: Thanks to its accurate guns, the Metal Fox can pinpoint weakpoints in a ship, making it excellent at either outright killing ships by directly attacking the core, or strategically hitting major junction points in the ship, causing it to fall apart.

Some invincible parts: By either making a part have really high health, or by adding Aegis deflectors to a part, you can make parts invincible. Such additions would make it impossible for a larger ship, such as a Hestia or Cronus, capable of killing the boss ship.

Don't make the boss faster than the fox: If a boss ship is more mobile than the fox, then the fox is sure going to have a hard time defeating the enemy ship. If you're going to make your boss have a high maximum speed, please give him a terrible acceleration score so that his movements aren't so ridiculously precise.

Don't fill the ship with tons of huge, accurate, deadly cannons: It's alright if a ship flings bullets all over the place. It's not okay, however, if they all are capable of killing the fox in one hit. Make him at least a little manageable, alright?


Anyway, I'll try and film a few vids of the Fox taking down your ships. In fact, I think I'll try out something right now; taking down the Leviathan... I'll be right back, hopefully with a video! :wink:

I'll take your challenge. :) Here's something I'm working on.

For armaments, I'm probably going to make a regular version as well as a shooter-boss version.

Cool. That ship looks pretty wicked, HC.

Anyway, I'm afraid I don't have a Leviathan Video match. The thing took six minutes to complete, which is a lot longer than I wanted it to take.

Regardless, Here's a boss that I made in a short amount of time for the Fox:

A video of me beating its arse will be up shortly.

Metal Fox VS. Mooner.


Boba, your boss is REALLY hard. Damn guy can vaporize me instantly, since all the weapons do 100+ damage.

WARNING: A HUGE BATTLESHIP "GEHENNA" IS APPROACHING

The Gehenna is huge, tough and heavily armed. However it is practically immobile and all its weapons are extremely inaccurate, allowing my mockup fighter to dodge shots quite effectively. (Except for the mega beamers. RUN AWAY from the mega beamers!)

Is this too hard? Too easy?

EDIT: Okay, after watching you fight video, I've upgraded the Gehenna a bit. Try this version as well.

Hahahaaaa... Man, I just figured out Boba's ship. Really cool.

Comedy, your's is also really damn good. However, for right now, I'm looking for some marginally easier bosses. I'll build up to the big, tough ones later on. :wink:

How long does it take to own my ship?
if I may request, use Harder, better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk if you do it. Thats my battle music right now, and that the music I tested it to.

I dunno. I have a terrible sense of time. Anyway, I guess I'll start filming the match against Boba's ship. Expect something tomorrow. Or tonight. Either way.

Well, I just did it. It took 4 minutes and 2 lives. I'll upload a vid soon.
