Rather strange I say.

Sometimes it does that. I believe that the ai self destructs it due to the sheer size. It has happened on about 5 other computers running more than recomended performance. Try running it a few more times, and to see the main gun in action, piont the front DIRECTLY to the opposing ship. The railgun will cut the ship in half.

An AI does not self destruct because of size. That is the biggest bullshit I have ever heard. You have absolutely no idea how this game works, do you?

Being able to put in big numbers isn't exactly a skill, and doesn't make the ship any better.

Did you set the AI to kamakaze AI? set it to normal or flanking.

Also, size doesn't matter if the AI self-destructs. if it does, then explain to me why my Monolith, which has well over 2400 sections and weapons and is bigger than the shipbuilder area, doesn't self destruct when I open fire on a Hestia?

It was orriginally set to kamakazi, however i have had problems withe the AI type not tranferring, and this is the only ship in my arsenal that self destructs itself in normal AI.

It is a plea for death, I reckon.

The AI has trouble transferring on ALL of my ships

Indeed, if anything deserves a macro of the Alien 3 Ripley mutant "Kill Me Please" scene.

Also hte name of Team Beta's awesome Boss Rush distracto ship.

I think what everyone and the SB is telling you is to restart. Anyways, good luck.

PS. I have ran into weird dieterling explode bugs but thats probably a combo of wreckage/background asteroids since it went away after increasing HP.

OK OK, I'll start over, besides, the Amateratsou is an older ship that grew from my first project. My first couple of hulls are still bare and will be the basis of new ships. One day after this post, any mod is free to delete it and the ships in the database, I don't care anymore. I have all I need. Also this is my final post.

Good luck to everyone

It's from Alien: Resurrection (the fourth one), actually. [/offtopic]

Dude, keep building. People here can be assholes. The fact that they make good points while being such is whats important. May I ask, have you played the campaign? It would give you a good idea of what basic ships should look like.
*edit* The Daedalus is actually quite decent for a first try stock ship. No weapons clusters, aegis whoring, or random section spam. Not entirely sure whats wrong with it for a first try. Can't load the other one.

Try cleaning up your post. Put all the downloads(proper versions) in the first post. Take screenshots using f9 and upload them to photobucket.com, then post the img here, again in first post. Download the current version of the game if you don't have it, and try building some more. Seriously, people here build several thousand piece ships and get flamed, and they start over without hesitation, so just take a deep breath and keep trying.

If he isnt able to, if hes even still around, can a mod clean up the posts for him?

Well, after all of the other negative comments, I had to see the Amateratsou for myself.

When I opened it, I lol'ed.
Its the Executor (built from masses of section 21's), fused with a penis, then dunked in a bucket of cocaine for the white powdery exterior.

To top it off, it has 300 core HP, and no AI type.

I got a good laugh out of it, at least

Well, I'd say you put that big thing away, and never look at it again.
Instead, try something smaller, and that, hopefully, doesn't resemble something fused with a penis and dunked in cocaine.

As for the death wish, its probably because it has no AI type to its name.
If you want to fix the Amateratsou, the best that can be done for it, short of a complete rebuild, is an increase of HP, removal of all aegis/deflectors, coloration, and re-arming. At least it won't look like its been dunked in cocaine anymore. Also, you could make the tip sharp, and it'll just look like a badly-done executor ripoff.

NO.

I took the liberty of making screens for those of you who can't be arsed to download this bit of comedic genius.

(The ship is white because my #1 default color is white. I'm not sure if it would look better or worse in Green.)

NAO WITH COMBAT PICS
