Well, how are we going to make one? Unlike the other team tournaments run so far (just AtM 1+2 IIRC), this is team vs team, so we can't do all our escort planning in thread. Trying to do it by PM only will likley mean little communication/planning (especially since there's no carbon copying), and we won't be as effective as a team. I was thinking we should have a mIRC meeting after we've experimented a bit to try to hammer out the basic styles of ships we want and assign roles, and then procede by PM after that.

Well we have some ideas on what types of ships to use. I think that itd be alright if we used this thread to talk about our ships and give feedback but use the PMs to communicate team strategy and send ships.

It would be nice when you're done with a ship, post in this thread and then send them around.

Is there really no CCing? Seems like this forum software is pretty lacking.

Butterfly Effect is alright but its shots can't hit fast moving motherships worth crap.

Test it with trilobite. Ideally our ships can eliminate an enemy mothership by themselves since escorts are irrelevant with our mothership.

Also Function > Form.

Test it against trilobite 2 with 8 speedies. If the enemy MS takes out our MS and is very quick, then the whole fleet dies. I'm going to stick with my idea of an M. Beam barge.

Or against a fast ship with high acceleration and normal AI.

Might as well post this test mothership, its not like anyone will really care.

EDIT: I just fixed a typo on my points sheet and found around 200 points. This version is alot deadlier.

@ Mr Wizard: Have you updated your ship to use all 102 points?

@ antisocialmunky: You can't parent anything to the core, and those deflectors are.

How are everyone's ships coming? Mine should be ready soon...

Eh, well, this is a test ship mockup. The points are right but its just so freaking cluttered that the parenting sometimes goes bad. At any rate, its a sb3, if you're really that concerned, change it oyurself so I don't ahve to re-upload the stupid thing because of a tiny parenting glitch.

I haven't actually started on my ship. I just haven't gotten any awesome ideas yet.

I'm sending you all my escort. I'm quite happy with it; it wastes all our other escorts so far without breaking into a sweat. Comments and more importantly, criticisms, welcome. Everybody should really try to have ships sent to the team during the next few days so we can tweak them to work together and decide on a formation. We really need to get communicating more or we're going to have an uncoordinated fleet.

EDIT: Doh, I missed resetting a bunch of HP values, I'll get that fixed ASAP.

EDIT 2: Fixed version being sent.

Ya know, I've always wondered what his name was referencing, Master Chef.
