Fifth BSF Beauty Pageant - RESULTS POSTED

[vidboi]

in the time i've been able to access a computer (which isn't as often as i'd like) i've been working on an entry for the limited stock section, and i can happily say that i've finally finished!..

...the main gun. now i just need to build the rest of the ship. to give you an idea of the kind of detail i'm trying to put into this i'll give you a screenshot of the trigger lines on said gun:

I think I'll be entering a ship into the Limited Stock category. Anyone like fire colors?
EDIT:
Am I allowed to enter a limited stock original ship and a limited stock fleet, as long as the ship isn't in the fleet?

One entry in each category. That's the rule. Fleets and single ships do not count as separate categories. You can submit a single limited stock ship, or you can submit a limited stock fleet. Not both, because that would give you two entries in the category.

Read.

I know this isn't ideal, but I'd like to post the fanship I made on the forums first to make sure it's a decent ship. Obviously I think so, but I'd like a less biased opinion to avoid embarrassing myself.

As a general rule, if your ship doesn't look at home here, then it could probably stand to be looked at and improved.

Also, if there is any doubt in your mind as to the quality of your ship, then you may want to look at it and try to improve it.

I think he is more referring to the BP's guidelines about not posting ships you've already made. For example, obviously I will not be submitting any of the trek ships and such that I made before the bp was announced, but is it appropriate to post a ship you are designing solely for the bp in order to improve it's quality? Or should that be done in IRC or other private channels? Or should it not benefit from anyone else's feedback since some would say the BP is supposed to be a test that represents the culmination of all our previous shipbuilding practice?
Might be obvious but I think thats what he was asking...

[Kiltric]

I know that's what he was asking. My suggestion was to work to improve it alone first. I don't know what Anna's intent is about getting feedback on submissions, so I was trying to give an idea in lack of an answer from him.

Okay then heres my contribution to the BP Freeform category,

Iron Mountain: Susini Class (long range support beam vessel)

paragraph four of the article 'Iron Mountain' by journalist Alain Gianfretti

When the highly advanced fleet of the Ancients was released from its holding pen (nicknamed Iron Mountain) the devastation caused to the idiotic morons who opened it (the USS navy typical) was largely due to this ships incredibly irritating habit of firing well out of radar range at unsuspecting USS ships. The devastation caused by its beam weapons (nicknamed the unholy lances of terror) is far more than almost any USS ships armour can take. Fortunately for the rest of the star system the archaic computers in the Iron Mountain fleet are only set to destroy anything encroaching on their territory so the Susini class hasn't glassed any planets yet. Unfortunately the Iron Mountain territory is centred around the only jump gate in the system which has inhibited trade somewhat. So in the fashion of any government losing money, the USS declared war on an ancient defense network, yeah like I said morons, they even sent an official declaration of war, its a computer! Why would it read it? I hope they sent one in binary.

Anyway for all you technical readers out there heres an update of what this monsters specifications are:
(provided by the surving crewmen of the blockade runner Icarus)

x2 Unholy Lances of terror
x1 Interceptor Beam cannon
x2 Heavy Ion thrusters
x1 Unobtanium power core

sorry its all not in one folder.

Okay, let me clear up some things:

keen320: Yes, it's okay for you to post ships on the forum to receive feedback and constructive criticism to try and improve it before posting it here.

Preacher: I've said this numerous times in the thread. Allow me to restate it here. I will not accept submissions that do not contain the .sb4, the .shp, and all the required custom sprites. For a submission to the Limited Realism category you only need to include sprites that aren't on the approved sprites list (so basically, doodads, bullets and glowy stuff), but a submission to the Freeform category requires all the Custom sprites used. Your entry will not be accepted until these things are fixed.

And for the record, whether or not your ship would fit in in the Holy Ships thread doesn't really count for much. Only the judges scoring counts for something.

[jwa8402]

Since you said to post if we plan to build...I have a free-form completed, a limited realism and fan ship both about 90% done, and a stock ship started but honestly may abandon it to finish the others. I otta be done in the next few days but depends on rl so I'll post all at once when they are ready. Thanks.

My entry into the fanship category.

Minmatar HURRICANE class Battlecruiser

A fearsome opponent, the Hurricane combines the versatility of procjectile weapons and missile launchers with enough speed and power to outrun and outlast most of it's opponents. Where ever this ship appears, it wreaks havoc and destruction among the enemies of the Minmatar tribes.

Spoiler!

This particular model of the Hurricane has been fitted with a 720 mm Howitzer II bank, and several 425 mm Medium Gallium I machine guns. This firepower is supported by two Heavy Missile Launchers and an Assault missile launcher for shorter range fire.

For those of you who don't know this ship, it's from EVE online.

Other Rules: Fanships are ships based on ships from another medium, be it novels, television, film or videogames. The name of the ship, a picture of the ship, and the name of the source material must be included in submissions.

And now my chance to redeam myself for my stupidity!

*Freeform mode selected*


Name: Altari class

Planet of origin: Earth

Faction: United Earth Defence Force (UEDF)

Type: Missile Destroyer

Photo:

Altari

Bio:

The Altari class Missile Destroyer is probably the best DD to come out of the Great War.
It is the only known Destroyer with four CIWS units, only one was the standard at the time.
What made this ship truly remarkable is that CIWS system which was centuries ahead of its time.
In one of the major battles it is said that an Altari class DD was attacked by over fifty torpedo frigates that were on their way to the Dirling airbase.
It is said that out of over five hundred torpedoes not one hit the Altari.
Add this to the massive missile payload and heavy armor for its class the Altari was a fearsome ship to fight against.

Propulsion:3 magnetic drive systems rated at 500Mw each

Power:1 Antimater reactor rated at 3Tw

Weapon systems: 6x 6 rocket box launchers with 4 reloads each
1x 2 missile launcher firing TOW and heat seaking missiles with 40 reloads

Defence systems: 4x double barreled CIWS units with appox. 15,000 rounds each
2x 750Mw shield generators creating a shield equal to 10,000 hp
250 megatons of reactive and resistive armor

Crew: 150


Now I know some people are thinking "Why did he post such a ****ing horible looking ship to a beauty pageant?"
This ship was designed to fight,the engineers who planed it had beauty as least important
I checked the ship and all packs are included

It uses HM's realistic and weapon packs plus some others that i included

Hope you all like it
This thing's nerf stat is at 50

Now I really have to hurry and I don't think I missed anything but if I did let me know by PM or post and I'll fix the download
