Tormak Saber's latest download for stock ships is here:

Use his works as a basis to begin your stock ship inspiration.

Here are some examples for some of you stuck in the water:

RRoan made an accurate, excellent example of a Hestia redesign which can pass for the Titan category.

On the right, a shittier design I cooked up for Hestia using Tormak's sb3 file for the upgrade category (violating the 1.5x rule though).

Whoops, sorry.

And For the first entry in this Tourny and the first of my entries. The Discordia for the Rebuild Catagory. It is based off Major Hongs ship. The Weapons feature no Damage Increase, however things like range, color, Deviation and stuff have been modded. Now the only thing I worry about is the size (meaning I hope it's not too big).

Now for my second entry, the Edani for the Upgrade Catagory. It's Practically the same size as the original ship, and only features two extra railguns, modded Pulse and Particle guns, and a bit of a stat boost.

Hot! I'll add you as the first official entrant.

(Epic Shot. The picture is a bit outdated, since I removed one of the deflectors)

(Action Shot. Felt that the stock weapons were good enough.)

Here's my entrant for the upgrade category, the Hestia Epsilon. It's based off of the normal Hestia.

The screenshots do it no justice, I have surfaces off.

Nice concept.

I'm in, designs to be posted as they are done.

Bump!
I added a new ship to my earlier post.

You mean *my* MEGA ZELUS?

Yeah, it's a shame I didn't think to make the core look like a normal zelus.

Oh well.

Water_and_Wind · Post by **Water_and_Wind** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 8:01 am

Actually, if RRoan's Hestia counts for Titan without a Hestia core, then surely the MEGA ZELUS would be fine as well.

ChaosTheory · Post by **ChaosTheory** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 8:25 am

Uh, fine whatever. Can't you edit it slightly to add the core? If not, it's okay, just submit it anyway, with a minor point reduction.

I didn't think RRoan was entering this competition, and so his ship could hardly serve as precedent for this tournament.

Not quite. I can add the core, but the rest of the ship won't be built off of it. And I can't change the parenting because it's an old ship, in .sb2 format.
Plus it's kind of lame.

No doodads or weapon coloring/resizing here, as these ships were made quite a while ago, in shipmaker 2.

I'll submit it anyway, just so there's *SOMETHING* in the Titan category. It's a little small for a "Titan", though.

Old screenshot, as you can see it's all stock green. Yeah, I know the gatpulses and their base parts are a little off. The Gatblasters are modified "Super Gatlings" that do extra damage, and have larger clipsizes and range. They'd be blue, except this was made in .sb2 form.

New, in-game screenshot, featuring spiffy new colors (Slightly modified from Anna's newish color scheme). Didn't wanna clutter up the view with projectiles, but the rules stated "showing weapons in action". Also an "old" stock Zelus for scale.

It's cool, but I could've done better... It'd be nice if I had used more piece variation, but at least it's not ugly straight tiling.

Upgrade category: Charybdis V2
Shipmaker screenshot, featuring boring green

Game screenshot, with deflector usage, colors, and weapons fire. The shockbeamer has 360 (i think) rotation, as well as enhanced turning and damage (10, I think).

I like this one better. I doubt it'll win, but eh, someone's gotta be the medium, right?
