When is the due date exactly? I'm going to bed soon (West Canada), but I don't think you mean it's due in 3 hours.

Today BST That is, there are 12 hours from this post.

EDIT: Duh I meant BST.

I have entries from all teams. Thank you. You've still got about seven and a half hours to make last-minute changes, if you need to.

Within the next few days or so I hope to have checked all the entries, and will post the next deadline for the escorts.

Since at first glance there's nothing horrendously wrong with any of the entries, I'm probably going to rule that building infractions at this point will give your opponents extra points with which to build escorts, rather than waiting for people to fix the problems.

EDIT: I actually still need the sb3 of Gamma's entry.

Any thoughts on the entrants so far?

What do you think about teh snow plow of justice?

It's... intriguing.

I guess that's all I can say. I kinda see what purpose it's supposed to serve but I don't know how effective it would be in an actual fleet action.

I assume you mean competent, and the answer is team alpha's, of course!

I can't wait to see the other motherships and start dissecting them... when can we expect pics? Are you going to finish checking them over first?

Question:

In the starting formations, are we allowed to start ships on top of each other?

Daxx · Post by **Daxx** » Fri May 09, 2008 4:46 pm

Entries closed.

Can someone point me in the direction of a copy of Shipmaker that can handle sb2s?

I'm going to finish checking the ships, so expect pics in the next couple of days.

Starting formations for the escorts are fair game, including nano-balls of doom, but the mothership is front and centre, with her escorts a ship length behind (i.e no overlapping the MS).

This one will open SB2's, hopefully it is compatible with the version that created the SB2 that you have.

Personal issues are delaying my adjudication. Hopefully I'll be done in the next couple of days.

Apologies all.

Low resolution photograph of the Mastermind, as captured by long-range reconnaissance probes. Probe data records that to get core detail some elements of the ship's structure would not fit in the scan.

Team Alpha's Mothership has been adjudicated.
