Make boss ships for The Metal Fox!
Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2007 6:47 am
So, basically, what happened is that I whipped up a tiny-but incredibly powerful-fighter ship.
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!

Here's something I'm working on.
