Interesting Creations

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

Interesting Creations

Post by Cerebrus »

In this topic, post the things you've created that you think other people might be interested in.

My creation is a true bubble shield; that is, when one section of the shield goes down, the entire shield goes down, regardless of which section is destroyed. This works by parenting all of the shield sections to a single piece, which itself has low HP, preferably 1. Then, you parent a small piece to each shield, and put each of those pieces on or under the single piece that all of the shield sections are parented to. When a shield section is destroyed, the small piece that was parented to it drifts into the low-HP piece, and destroys all of the shield sections that way.

I'll post the ship that uses this system in a second, it needs a little tweaking.

Download the bubble shield here

It's a proof of concept ship, just to show you how it works, so don't expect it to be pretty.

Interesting but then how would a non-Demeter, Non-uber-wonk ship break through it. only way would be to fly next to it.

It's a proof of concept ship. That means that it proves the concept of a bubble shield is possible. Whether it has the aegis, the number of sections, the HP of the sections themselves, the people who want to remake the shield can set those things as they like them. I'm just trying to show that a bubble shield that behaves like a bubble is possible.

Maybe i have an individual problem, but firing beamers at a bubble ship causes massive lag.

I can't imagine what the problem would would be. Until you blow up a section, the shield should behave just like the floating Aegis'd sections it is.

The novelty weapon collection! Always a must for any aspiring ship-maker.

It's one of the few non-official threads that ever reached over 100 replies.

The stuff you'll find in there (just the creme of the crop):
The Original Kinetic Missile (By yours truly)
Aralonia's MegaTachyon coverup... Weapon... Thingy... You know, the one Lizzie often uses?
The Nuclear Mine

among other things!

Driver + high clipsize + low range + zero damage + high reload + 180 deviation + force-fire

= Anti demeter swarm panic button if enemy uses demeter pods.

That is all.
