Faction Chainships

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

Faction Chainships

Post by Zalausai »

Here is an idea to reinforce the alliances between factions.
A chainship project involving factions in an alliance.

If your faction is not part of the alliance working on a chainship, you may be the first to post the beginning of your alliance's chainship project. This thread is intended to support multiple chainship projects.
You MUST be in an alliance to participate. If your are not, get yourself an alliance.


Rules: (rewritten from Majicnanas chainship project)(They are NOT the same rules)
1. You can add between 4 and 8 sections on your turn. Post a screenshot and the ship file (plus the custom sprites) when you are done. Unlike normal chainship projects, you may only mirror up to 4 sections, bringing your total to 8.

2. Before you can work on the ship again, in must be worked on by at least one other person (there aren't that many factions in an alliance).
3. You may move or delete sections that were placed by other users, but it counts against your section placement total.
Example: If you move or delete 2 sections, you can only place 6.

4. Colors are not particularly important, since they can be changed by you faction when the chainship is complete.

5. You may not use custom doodads. (they don't package with the ship when you export custom sprites).
However, you may add the base doodads that are normally with the game. Placing a two doodads, counts as placing one section. This means you can place 16 doodads on your turn if you want to.
Moving or deleting 2 doodads counts as placing 1 section.

6. When you are able to work on the ship next, post in this thread saying that you will work on it. You must post your contribution within 3 hours or someone else may claim the right to work on it.

7. When posting the chainship, you may vote to end construction and declare it complete. When you do this, the other members in your alliance have 24 hours and get one last chance to work on it and post their contributions.
When everyone then declares that it is finished, it is added to each faction in the alliance's database for them to use.
(They still have to give it weapons and thruster effects. They may also still edit the ships statistics, such as HP, Speed, etc...)

Restrictions on section usage:
You can use any section sprite pack that your faction normally uses to construct their ships and nothing else.
This is to show a combination of styles based on the individual factions that took part in its construction.
Try to build it in your faction's style, to reinforce the hybrid look.

This could be very good or very bad.

Here is my part.

Note: You need to put the custom sprites with it. Just put them all into a zip or rar file. (I have the complete set of DST-SWNC, luckily) just remember this is Cryosleep decides to put in his part for the GTNA.
You also have to claim that you are working on it next. (you can edit the post claiming your turn to post your contribution in its place).
Sections added: 8

Now with rotations. Just press the comma (,) key during preview mode (F11).

He can be, but anyone can take a turn if they are in the alliance. You just can't take two turns in a row. Go ahead if you want to.

Here is my part.

Note: I hate the mirror command. It produced doubles of 12 sections, which I had to clean up and re-parent. Please refrain from using it.
Sections added 6 (4 normal, 2 rotation axis)
Sections re-sized 2 (counts as moving sections)
Re-parented sections to function with the rotation axis. (Free)

Cyro, please read the rules for this project. Using the mirror command, you made a total of 14 sections.

Up next, Cryo or Miram.

I never use mirroring. It takes a little more time, but if you don't rotate the sections, the coordinates should be the same (not counting the negatives for opposing sides) or be off by 1 point in the Y axis. (usually the Y axis is 1 point less for sections that are odd numbered dimensions).

Looks good, I'll work on it when I'm done with my college work. (art school, lol).
If Cryo is on -line before I make another post for my turn, he can take his turn though.
