CursedPh4nt0m Feel free to try. In my opinion seeing other people take a go at ships you've built gives new ideas. A new approach is always welcome!

And yeah, I noticed the nukes get destroyed easily by ships with some flak/PD. I've been thinking about adding some small cannons next time I build a nuke ship. They would serve as a good distraction.

    Alpha Large cannons work too. And their projectiles survive longer. I've seen that a lot during my tests for the 'Oblivion'.
    I personally think nukes just aren't suited for this tier. Some really large ship may use them as 'main weapon' of sorts and small fighters can get close enough to bypass the PD, but 1-3 million builds usually sport enough PD to defend against nukes.

    CursedPh4nt0m Nevertheless it should be done, don't you think?

    Alpha Sure. I'm just saying it won't be easy. Getting a ship in GiF is hard, but the 'class' your trying to get in will really struggle against most other tier 8 builds.

    The_Bloodnaught In order of submission : Pass, Fail. That second ship is pretty 'splody.

    Krowanek Passed! though it was extremely close, lucky most of the ships in that tier are broadsiders!

    Alpha Did not pass. I thought it was going to pass at first, but then it started getting goomba stomped.

    Northerner Yeah, it's the kind of ship that wrecks some kinds of ships, but gets obliterated by others. Improvements shall be made!

      I made some changes, but it's mostly the same ship. This one has more shield layers and a faster nuke reloading speed.

      If it still doesn't pass, I'm going to create an entirely different design. I also got a dreadnaught in the making, but that one is not finished yet.

      Alpha Did not pass. Flak destroys nukes in a single hit so using them as your only weapon isn't great... Also when the nukes were destroyed by flak they damaged your ship. It seemed like the ship did more damage to itself with either the nukes detonating inside the ship or being destroyed by the flak in the ship than it did to other ships.

      Northerner Yeah, those hostile flak were the main reason I thought this ship wouldn't pass. Don't worry, I'll get myself a nuke ship worhty to become part of the mod. (Also, the dreadnaught only needs some paint and final testing, expect that one to come before the new nuke ship 😉.)

      Well, this is not really a ship submission, but rather a cosmetic upgrade.

      When I designed Plainswalker in September, I didn't realize this ship would survive the passing of time so well. It's probably my ship that maintained most of its performance through all the updates. Therefore, I decided it needed some well deserved paint. You don't need to test it again, only cosmetic changes were applied.

      Guy I've gotten around to updating this one a little too, the huge thruster nerf had hit it pretty hard.

        Northerner changed the title to Galaxy in Flames ship submission page (Closed).

          Ship submission for Galaxy in Flames is closed until further notice.

          same

            also, one question. does Gif ai support ion focuser?

              Bevan Depends on the design really, all that is different is that the AI can use the explosive charges

                Warning64 Sorry fam, I may open it back up again in the future but for now I have other projects I am working on that are eating up my time.

                  Northerner Ok, I understand completely. Same thing happens to me when I get caught up on a ton of work and stuff.
