I don't know what my teamates would say, but I definitely think antisocialmunky has won the place on out team. 2 of his ship beat 6 of Kalanosis' ships. Congrats, antisocial.

Also, his ships beat a large number of DS's tests.

. . . And it is reall funny to watch the Spam E-Mail vs. Buckler . . . giant blobs of red goo being chucked willy-nilly and then suddenly dissappearing once they come within flak range.

antisocial, if you want to revise your ships anymore and send them off the TM and TBE for their commentary, that'd be great.

To think that all this time I designed ships with different rules in mind.
I should have read them more carefully.

It's time to start from scratch...with far less restrictions :twisted:

Sponge: how far apart will you be setting the fleets?

In doing testing, there seems to be an issue with lancets: if you start the ships close enough, the initial volley of lancets will take out about a ships worth of weapons because the other ships don't have a chance to move. If they're far apart, the ships will have a chance to actually engage each other, which is, in my opinion, more fair.
Zooming out to the farthest zoom and setting at opposite corners seems to work well.

Thank you, I'm honored. Which ship was it? Was it one of the old ones or new ones?

Is there any way you can PM some of your more recent ships and some ships for me to practice against such as Kalanosis' ships? Or just some ships for inspiration. Also, what are your thought on my *ahem* evil counter measures?

I'll PM TM and BTE my new ships for review in a little bit. I updated BSF and the old ones don't load right(though I've recreated the chassis and everything for the good ones).

@ Trashman, I took alot of inspiration from your fleet. I look forward to your new machinations.

@ Cmd, I too am curious how far apart you'll set the fleets. My ships will have radically different sucess rates depending on the initial position of the fleets.

Also, could you remember to turn Fleet AI on?

Thats how I have asked him to run the tourney battles, and I'm pretty sure how he planned on doing it anyways. But leaving alittle space behind each fleet, so there not stuck in a corner from the get go. And making sure to not have the ships spawned so close next to each other as well.

I got bored and made a test ship:

Have fun.

Behold the LOLBBQPWN. Made in 5 minutes with only about 190ish points too. :twisted:

Of course my ships are immune, are your's?

Your Tachyon Repeaters are backwards.

Your Tachyon Repeaters are backwards.

Actually there meant to be that way, its part of the design theroy. Not to bad for a Tac rusher, nice work. But anything with decent firepower, and or speed seem to be able to take these types of ships down. And a few other strategies, but still not bad for a tac rusher. Looks like a cross between Chaos's ships and mine.

(Not made to beat anything but a Tac Rusher and a few other model rusher types. Also could do the samething with many differnt layouts. Was made to show a weakness in Tac rushers, besides a well built hull)
Refuses to sign for the special delivery

LOL, what? Is that ship just made to run away from mine? It doesn't even try to attack anything. If you want to start this, it is started! YOU ARE GETTING THAT PACKAGE.

Sends it overnight instead.

It actually works against other ships too.

(NOTE: I posted this before seeing your edit. Still if you're up for a test ship fight, I'm game. I need some good ships to test against and I'm sure it won't hurt anyone else)

DarkenShroud · Post by **DarkenShroud** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:27 am

Made to run away from yours, and kill it at the sametime. Could use differnt set ups to kill it quicker. I'll try this one out, thanks for the motivation.

NP, always like a good challenge at a game I'm good at. If anyone else wants to take up my challenge and toss in some test ships too, that'd be great!
