  • Design Contest Voting (11/19)

The second bracket gave me headaches. I love the H4XXOR, the Excalibur and the Fragararch a lot but couldn't decide . I ended up choosing the Fragararch and the H4XXOR, because me

P.S: Man! People are getting really good! I minght never catch up!

Altraxia D:

      Altraxia careful mate, I've heard the Excalibur is good for stabbing with

        Ewr and Phantom for 1st bracket

        CaptainRedstone Ouch......(Wait can black holes be damaged by laser swords? Last time I tried I got trapped and couldn't get out, hence my avatar)

            Hatter Thanks for the great review, you made some good points about the Vortex, which I made, and I'll sure try to keep that in mind for later builds.

            Btw, anyone, other than reactor placement and obviously better paint jobs, got some good constructive criticism about the Vortex? Genuinely trying to improve.

                The designs this time look AWESOME! Congratz to everyone who got in to the voting stage. I'm gonna keep my votes secret ;P
                Also, I was wondering of anyone had some constructive feedback about my 2nd bracket entry 'Phantasm' (Fenrir got overshadowed by the other fantastic entries) I'm always looking to improve so any comments would be much appreciated.

                  I'm kinda bummed that none of mine made it in, but to be fair, I knew I should have made the sound waves three layers instead of only two and I guess making an upgraded version of an existing ship didn't really fly, wasn't too shocked about Bomb Shell, because I dunno what I was thinking with that paint scheme. In any case...

                  1st Bracket: Equalizer's Ewr and PsyCrow's Phantom

                  2nd Bracket: This was hard for me; because there's so many laser craft when we have a ton of options for that already in the game, ranging in effectiveness; but I'm gonna have to go with MrMeep's Vortex and Kieffer5101's Fragarach

                  3rd Bracket: Luke SpaceCat's Nausica XL and Salephz's Queen's Hive (I wanted to pick Saris' and Sputnik's Stygil, but I gotta be honest, it doesn't seem all that practical in combat, more like a showpiece than anything other than, plus the other choices I had falling under the same reasoning as 2nd)

                    I_Am_Jarvis Wait, you really think the Stygil would be too weak?
                    The missile layout overwhelms any reasonbable flak defense and the diagonal armor catches more shots than you would expect, so that design would hurts quite a lot even when AI controlled. Sure the lack of shields makes it rather weak against ion-rammers and it's generally more of a glass-cannon design, but underestimating that ship won't do you any good. I personally didn't pick it due to not liking the design and paintstyle, but I really think it has potential.

                        CursedPh4nt0m While that may be true, having the missile launcher facing backwards like that takes a lot out of their range, meaning practically any kiters could easily pick it off over time, and its own flak isn't really doing it any favors, with the fact that having it as a diagonal build like that gives it the largest width possible without mods, so you're looking at a HUGE target with relatively low range for the weapon type.

                        Edit: And while you say that underestimation would be bad, I'm pretty sure most people would keep their distance as a natural response to the sheer size of the craft anyways...

                            I_Am_Jarvis Well missiles have quite a high range anyways and the flak is only supposed to protect the sides/rear, so I guess it's very well suited for its job. If you feel like kiting, well no ship currently in the game is suited to counter that, so i don't feel like counting that as valid argument, even tho that thing really isn't especially fast.
                            Overall it just seems to me that you have expectations and criteria that are just misplaced on bounty hunter ships supposed to be more or less easily beatable.

                                Congratulations to all the winners of the design contest!!
