How big is too big?

Arrr, if ye can harbour antimatter, then indeed ye can create the 'positron' or to put it more scientifically, the 'antielectron laser', it would be of sufficient matter and state to completely annhilate an entire planet. Yar, pity we pirates didn't think of it first...

But I'm still being cautious about those beamers. Take a look at the custom weapons balance thread, I think average beamers have 1 or 2 damage.

Exethalion, I was making a reference to an anime series.

A stock beamer has a damage rating of 1. See W&M Guide.

1 damage - That's it. That ship must have getting close to 450,000 damage when it comes to beam attacks (3000x5x30) every 30 seconds!

That ship i left in the cold war? It did that in 1 second!

. Which is why i sent it away.

And just so you know, i don't mind anyone stealing my ideas, as long as its not blatent plagerism.

It's preety hard to call ramped-damage beamers plagerism, since it's been done so many times. People think 'if a blaster is like 5 damage, then a beamer must be like a 100', I did it. Then when the whole screen was full of beam, I realised my error!

No, I was talking about the other guns, and I wasnt calling it plagerism, i was just stating I don't care unless you take one of my ships, do a crap paint job to it, rename it and call it your own.

Well, yeah, that is plagerism I 'spose. I'm sure no-one can duplicate a giant pencil of death again though.

They could, but why would they want to? >_>

For the ultimate war between the HB and 2B, of course!

Dude. You have to slap an 'All your base are belong to us' sticker on there. Like... win man.

One again, I am flattered by the constant stream of responses over such a...well in comparison to many ships here, it's terrible.

Give me that ship.

I want to see how much damage 3 positron blaster cannons will do. (WILL ZEY REACH ZE CORE?!)

If you really want it, I can have it up once I tweak one or two things. Otherwise I'll upload it ASAP.

Yay for Snowcrash!

+6 for you, my friend!

Upon further testing I was able to cut right through two Nelsons in a single beamer volley. So, yeah. A bit much.

And just so you know, i don't mind anyone stealing my ideas, as long as its not blatent plagerism.

Oh, none intended. It was admiration for the cannons that made me stick them on there. No other weapon system really captured the over-the-top broadside I was looking for. You later clarified you position, but I believe I gave you credit for them anyway.

They could, but why would they want to? >_>

If anyone really wishes to take the time to build this ship, they are more then welcome to it.

...No idea why they would...

For the ultimate war between the HB and 2B, of course!

I find your pencil knowledge....impressive.

You sir, have made my day.

I heard a small voice in my head today. It went something like this:

Voice: Make it larger.
Me: Wha?
Voice: Make the ship bigger.
Me: It's already huge.
Voice: LARGER! And make it look nicer, too.
Me: Ok.
Wife: Why are you talking to yourself?

No guns yet, but I swear I'll tone down the beamers. 1912 sections, may go up before the final product is done. It's switched focus from a broadside to a head on long range ship, but I think that is for the best. The Brickcil will still be available for anyone who wants a giant pencil, but I think this result is a bit better. At least aesthetically.
