IoBondrew You could always check your lost ships folder
Design Contest Voting
RandomCommander Moral of the story - Do not submit early, even if you are prone to forgetting to submit things. Chances are you are going to test your ship out and realize there are things you could improve.
Alternatively submit rev 7 of a design right when the contest opens. :-P
I haven't found the easy way to setup AI vs AI battles so I don't know how well the AI will handle it, but Maw's 'Octal Maw' rail-gun array is glorious to watch in action. Two crushing alpha-strikes, then sustained random fire at 1.5-2 meteors per second. A bit of a glass cannon though, Easy to loose half the array to concentrated counter-fire if you get too close... (I swear that the guns chain 'splode diagonally at times)
I'm much more of a builder than a painter, But I think it's best to keep base color of Maw black so the other paint pops. (Even if it does make the engines and rail-guns stand out.) I also like the simple design, as I find the more psychedelic paint schemes jarring. Still plenty of room for improvement. For instance, I wanted to give Maw laser eyes instead of laser nostrils but the clear space in front of shields has stumped me so far...

Huh. You would think that would be disallowed somehow, but I don't think I see such a constraint on the original design contest thread for this year!
Splendid, I'll just make a folder for Design Contests Only and just make a few ships for certain themes and/or the inclusion in Bounty Hunter! That will at least keep my interest in Cosmoteer longer should I fail to find anything else about it interesting (which it keeps being interesting for me, so that's unlikely).
CaptainRedstone usually its there, but sometimes it wont save the lost ship so i loose it. happened only a few times, and mostly to proof of concepts anyway, so i saw what i built it for and didnt realy need the ship anyway after

Congratulations to @Equalizer for winning the design contest with his ship the Ardama
Second place goes to the Crystal Angel by Mr Zig Zag
Third place is tied between the Red Baron by @IoBondrew and Astra by @Namek (both ships will enter bounty hunter)
IVIemories unstickied the discussion.
Good to see the Astra getting in! Next time I'm gonna have to make a better ship...
Obviously voter fraud was committed to deny me my rightful victory, the vote percentages add up to 213% !
(or maybe because people could vote more than once)
In all seriousness, congratulations to the winners. I look forward to blowing them up in bounty hunter.
And I got fourth!
Tied with Lafiel, but fourth!
no... wasnt @ -ed
