- Edited
There hasn't been any design tournaments as of late, there's few asymmetric ships in BH, and little diversity in high cost bounty hunter ships. This event is for remedy to all those issues. Also this event is official, and thus backed by Walt.
Deadline to Submit Ships
Countdown to Deadline
Event Format
- Participants can submit their faction ships by posting on this forum thread. Please do it in #design-contenst-submission on the discord if possible though.
- Walt will veto any factions/ships he feels to be not well suited for inclusion in Bounty Hunter
- Community votes on selected factions to decide contest champion
- Top three factions will be added to the game as bounty hunter enemies (plus any additional factions/ships Walt personally picks)
- Winner of the contest will receive discord rank and forum flair
- The designers of any ships added to Bounty Hunter will get their name in the game credits
Guidelines
- Ships which serve no purpose or are not appropriate for Bounty Hunter will not get past the moderator voting phase
- Ships built purely for combat (pure walls, death cubes etc) are unlikely to pass the voting phase
- This is a design contest, so please don't try to stuff as many weapons as possible into your ship; ships should be visually appealing as well.
- Ships should look like they are part of the same faction (A couple examples of built-in ships that look like they're from the same faction are the Raknil and Kri'Raknil.)
- To be clear, we are voting on factions as a whole, we are not voting on individual ships.
- Don't submit bombs, or ships that all explode upon losing one
Notes and rules
- There are three price ranges; The first is: ₡500,000 - 1,250,000, The second is: ₡1,250,001 - 2,000,000, and The third is: ₡2,000,001 - 2,750,000
- Each participant must submit one ship to each of the price ranges (max 3 ships total per participant)
- Each participant may optionally submit a short paragraph describing the lore of their faction.
- Mods are NOT allowed
- Paint and decals are considered when selecting factions
- Ships MUST be functional
- Ships MUST be noticeably asymmetric. As in from a distance and blurred it should be easily distinguished as assymetric
- By submitting ships to this contest, you are giving Walt permission to include those ships as a built-in ships in Cosmoteer, if he so chooses
- Walt will automatically veto any ship with a dithered paint-scheme (example 1 paint by 0neye)(example 2 entirely by 0neye) (He likes his dithers)
- Less important note: In the future 1.0 release Walt plans on perhaps extending thruster and shield dead zones, as well as making bunks only having 1 door and quarters only having doors on one side. You can choose to build around these to ease the 1.0 built in conversion, but is otherwise not worth acknowledging if you don't care
Rewards:
Your name in the credits if your faction ships are chosen to be added into the game as a built-in ships
Discord rank (Master of Design) and Forum flair
Important Public Service Announcement
Submit only .ship.png files, and please make sure they are within the budget limit and are not illegal designs. Any ships that are not .ship.png files or are illegal/over budget will not be considered at all.
Don't worry about the ship strength too much. Both strong and weak ships are allowed as long as they are functional enough and not too over the top, aesthetics will be as important as functionality when choosing the final design.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask
