CaptainRedstone Are starter ships a possibility here? As in, if I call a sub-80K ship "Model §", will it actually become a starter ship?
I would consider making a winning ship a starter ship if it's in the price range and is a good new-player ship, i.e. isn't too complex/weird and has room to build. The thing with starter ships though is that they're deliberately not very creative. They're more of a canvas for the player to build off of and make their own. So I suspect that a ship that's creative enough to win the contest is probably by its nature not a good starter ship.
Also you can of course start the game with any cost-appropriate ship you want...
Name: BroadSword - by VarroWayland Value: 237,925 Price range: 1st Extremely fun with Direct Control Mode.
Paranoia - by VarroWayland Value: 2,265,700 Price range: 3rd A large and relatively fast capital ship.
Name: Dragon Class Battlecruiser - by Leodagan_CH Value: 1'950'200 Price range: 3rd An heavy battlecruiser designed to raid with a cruiser task force.
Name: Tryphon - by Noobrat Value: 124.650 Price range: 1st A fighter that uses its point defence systems to deal damage.
It seems IVI will never escape the community when they have questions about a tourney
@BattleCruiserCommander @Terket Include the value of your ships please
CasterNInja Ok srry forgot
Cost: 45,900
My second entry: Name: Fenrir - By PsyCrow Value: 1,971,200 Price range: 3rd This ship is slow but packs a punch. It has good power in short distance combat and has lots of AA to greatly decrease long range damage. It’s weakness lies against mid ranged weapons. Fenrir is a powerful opponent if the player charges in without thinking first.
BattleCruiserCommander could you add it to the post with the ship, cause having to scroll all the way down later when I organize all the submissions is gonna make my job harder
CasterNInja ok
hay just got an account here but iv been playing Cosmoteer since last year, and iv made some pretty sick ships. I specialize in humongous ships that cause destruction. so putting this into the right size and money requirements was pretty hard, I just hope you like it. Value: 2,041,200 Crew: 532 Mass: 1532.1 tons
Perinczz This is a design contest so using a built in starter ship's paint will not help you...
Perinczz While that ship certainly lacks aesthetic abilities in my opinion, it also lacks in combat abilities. Sure, it can kite many ships and kill most that are cheaper than it with its first alpha-strike but it can not stand up to built-ins up to 700k less than it which is saying a lot. Since the ship you submit might get added to the game as a bounty hunter ship if you win, it needs to be at least the same strength of other built-ins at its cost level. But your ship loses 90% of the time to a Biter which is less than half its cost, and consistently to other built-ins 500k-700k credits less than it.
Perinczz Sorry that things a joke in combat, and the paint job is stolen from a built in ship
sorry it called the Free Romer
THIS IS A PSA It applies to anyone using dithered paint
What are dithered paint jobs?
BattleCruiserCommander Dithering, according to Walt, is a paint job that uses the fade decals to create a gradient effect between colors, which looks bad up close (if you are using high-contrast colors) even if it looks very cool from afar (in my opinion).
Oneye so Like black to gray to white kind of dithering?
example of dithering this is Conch by Sputnik
Name: Peacekeeper - by Jesus_de_Aguiar. Value: 1.529.100. Price Range: 2nd. The "Peacekeeper" or "PK" has a moderate cost to what it is. It is a cool-looking design and it is very a versatile ship, it has two medium-small Railguns on each side, two ion beams and lots of Electropulse in the front part, along with Heavy Laser Blasters and Anti-Projectiles spread all over the PK. It is very maneuverable and an enjoyable ship to interact with.
Jesus_de_Aguiar A good ship for BH, but gonna be blunt, the reactors (besides ones near the rails) seem too large in one clump and everything above the ion prism seem very low-quality
