Northerner

Lukz2cool Passed! That is stupid amount of flak as long as shots go into that cone nothing will hit it, except for rail guns naturally.

JPS-205 Did not pass. Better you managed to do a little more damage with this design. You need more PD and better shielding. Also about half of your missiles hit their own ship.

CursedPh4nt0m Did not pass. This ship is very strong but the lack of PD really hurt it. Also I updated your Castle Archer to this new version.

Lukz2cool

Northerner Hahaha, yeah the idea was to have a strong defense, with a long distance offense. Looks like it worked out 😄

CursedPh4nt0m

Northerner It's only the lack of pd? Well then, time to add some Flak/PD-modules....

CursedPh4nt0m

Northerner Another try on a tier 0 ship:

(Hope this one does better...)

Northerner

CursedPh4nt0m In order of submissions Pass, Fail. GiF tier 0 ships are still pretty tough even though I really did not improve them.

JPS-205

What does DP mean?

CursedPh4nt0m

JPS-205 Point Defense.

Alpha

JPS-205
I'll give you a small dictionary of the abbreviations we use around here.

PD = Point Defense

FE = Fire Extinquisher

GiF = Galaxy in Flames

EB = Electro Bolt

CR = Control Room

LC = Large Cannon

BH = Bounty Hunter

MP = Multiplayer

RoD = Ring of Death

Other strange expressions/words:

Meta = A strategy that's very OP at the moment, and therefore used by many in MP.

Cheesing = Using exploits to defeat a certain enemy. This is caused mostly by AI-flaws or bugs in the game.

CursedPh4nt0m

JPS-205 Alpha You forgot about CR=Control Room, LC=Large Cannon(, BH=Bounty Hunter, MP=multiplayer).

Alpha

CursedPh4nt0m Right, let me add those to the list!

CursedPh4nt0m

Alpha You might also ad RoD=Ring of Death.

I gave Chariot the update he was needing. Thanks @CursedPh4nt0m for making me realize how much could be changed.

Moar Missiles!

JPS-205

A famous ship recreated in the Cosmoteer.

This is recognized worldwide and adored by thousands of people, certainly should enter the Mod.

kieffer5101

JPS-205 this isnt a aesthetic mod though, it has to be very competitive to get in

Northerner

JPS-205 that's not gonna pass... What kieffer said, it needs to be competitive. Function comes first in this mod.

JPS-205

this ship has a very low cost, but it's a good fight, I did a lot of testing before posting it, I hope it goes to the MOD.

CursedPh4nt0m

JPS-205 Lemme guess, this thing turns slower than a snail? Unless those small thrusters got the power of normal ones somehow... (Seriously, this thing lacks maneuverability!)
(Large) Cannon projectiles tend to fly too slow to hit anything in the price class you're tying to get in btw. Just saying.
Maybe replace the large cannons with smaller ones and add more trust not directed forwards?
Which tier would this thing be in? I could possibly send you something to test it against.

PS: Normal picture attachment works again. Simply use the "Attach" button now.

JPS-205 Did not pass.

That is a substantial jump in quality however! Okay some things you you can do. you are 7k over the previous price range which brought you into the next price range and lets just say it did not go well for it in either price range. I would remove the armor on the sides and bump the large thrusters down to mediums. also large cannons are not viable until about tier 4 so I would swap them out for small cannons.

Since you are above the price range you can try to make the design cheaper by going town a tier or use the rest of the tier 3 budget to improve it.

CursedPh4nt0m

Northerner Just found another attempt at building something for the lower tiers.

It's a (rather cheap) copy of my tier two ion ship, but it did pretty good in testing.

(Also :

CursedPh4nt0m (Large) Cannon projectiles tend to fly too slow to hit anything in the price class you're tying to get in [...]

Northerner large cannons are not viable until about tier 4 so I would swap them out for small cannons.

Wonder why I didn't see this before...)

JPS-205

so mobility is the only problem?
This is going to be easy to solve.

CursedPh4nt0m

JPS-205 Mobility and the slow velocity of cannon bullets... That's only what I could find by looking at the ships outside tho.
