Is Walt up for including the winner's ships in the game?

Sorry for the spam, I think you've triggered my competitive streak.

TheNirl

I would love for Walt to take that into consideration. Our best chances of managing that are to raise awareness for the tournament and get people interested. Then, if I make an interesting video that captures folks' attention and is good for marketing, maybe Walt will consider it if it fits into his idea of what in-game ships should be capable of 😉

Teg AI controlled, and thank you for your submissions.

TheNirl

W-D-Gadd Access codes to the recordings will be made available as they go live. The best way to evaluate your own designs is to see them in action, so stay tuned.

SlayerJustin You can find me in the official Cosmoteer Discord, but an entire server dedicated to this seems a bit too much. I'll be posting updates here and on that discord.

Best of three matches
No limit on any one component, including command modules
No speed requirements
No maneuverability requirements, but the ship has to be deemed 'flight worthy' to win
Acting as multiple separate ships after being damaged is creative designing. Encouraged
Ships will start at the default distance in 'tournament helper' mode
Battles will be a head-to-head between two Admirals at a time, in single elimination style tournament brackets
In order to win, ships must disarm the opponent while maintaining firing capabilities, a command module, and remaining flight-worthy. This also means they will need at least one source of power to return to a station
In the event of a stalemate, the Overseer will make a judgement call that may involve either shuffling of brackets, or contacting the respective Admirals to submit new designs

"Acting as multiple separate ships after being damaged is creative designing. Encouraged"

Thanks for the replies, just got one more question: Are there any design requirements for mothership submissions? or can you submit a "mothership" that has a single Bridge? I have thought of something that may fall into this category, although I'm not sure if I'll use it.

What if someone submits a mother ship that has one bridge and no easy breaking points/divisions?

TheNirl

Elethio Your limits are your budget and your imagination. The only reason it's the 'Mothership' edition is because submissions will be either huge, or very expensive 😉

TheNirl

Elethio One thing, I said in my reply to you that ships need to be flight-worthy to win. That is incomplete. They need to be flight-worthy, have a command module, and retain some form of firing capability.

AdmiralRodriguez Nice ship! Did you miss the shield gens though?

Dave-II

I'm in. When do we start?

TheNirl

Dave-II As soon as all the necessary designs are in. People are submitting really fast, so get to it quickly!

Per05

Is is allowed with mods or is it have to be vanilla?

Teg

Per05

No modifications beyond standard ship construction methods are
allowed.

Vanilla only I believe.

zakmackay Don't think so, my ship got in with out them.

zakmackay

Do I require FTL?

TheNirl

Teg

zakmackay Nah, these ships ain't jumpin'

TheNirl

Teg Yeah, vanilla only, but I still need to go through them one by one to make sure everything's running smoothly
