I need designs for enemy ships!

Give me .shp files if you want to help out! I'll need the .sb4 files too so I can tweak the gameplay values for balancing.

Restrictions
- You can only use stock sections 1-18 use any sprite in the base 090d distribution
- Only blaster, pulse and particle gun turrets
- Deflector and gluon bolter modules are fine too
- Most custom values for sections and turrets will not work
- Don't bother with parenting sections. This game doesn't use explicit parent sections (it's smarter than that).
- However, do make sure that all your physically sections touch another section or the core, this is how the game does parenting now.
- DO bother with parenting turrets, they still need to know which section they are attached to.

Post ships in this thread to submit them.

I'll still bother with parenting because i'm used to it, i'll post some of my spare ships in this post after editing their weapons since you did say only 3 of e'm.

Edit: here, it took me long because i was playing your game. a screenshot if you want

I have a few questions to ask :
1. Does this have a size limit?
2. Do we have to edit values of the ship such as name, speed, or ship hp?
3. Do you have to post the sb4 files too, because in the ships folder there is the sb4 file with the shp.
I would like to help.

Edit : Here it is, i know it is not the best but i hope it is valid.
Can the game handle sections with custom angles?

Can we use gluon bolers and deflectors?


This game not only looks like it will be nice, but I feel it will revive the forum.

The names are dumb, I know. Hope it won't matter. If it will, I'll rename them.

EDIT: Here, have something decent for once, as opposed to those two ugly bricks:

Still, we gotta tell people about it!

Not yet, wait until it gets released

Oh hai there, I'll get to work on a small fleet of pirates later today.

Updated submission restrictions to match current state of the game. Keep em coming guys. Note that we'll probably overhaul the graphics of everything sooner or later though, which will probably mean changing all the designs.

^No problem there. Shipbuilding is quite fun, and I need practice with retro styles.
Edit* Oh and, would it ever be an option to be using shiny sprites?

Graphics overhaul? As in, it will be different than the BSF style and will use BSF unrelated weapons?

Alright here's the first of something. I really need to practice more with these sections.

Yea, at the very least I'll move to the SWA-rized sprites.

Man you guys place sections very densely. As a result I had to reduce their hp pretty drastically to make them balanced. The Krone had a LOT of guns so I removed most of them. I need more small ships that are like 2-6 sections large. Also, try not to layer sections so heavily as it results in some really paper thin sections.

What does the .JSON file consist of?
If I know how to make one, maybe I can write the .JSON files for my own ships.
