Title: About cannons...
Post by: Ninja on September 16, 2015, 02:58:21 PM
Has anyone else been wanting to see a wolf-style ship, only with the missile launchers replaced with cannons? I'd like to see how well that works (and for some reason the cannons really appeal to me).

Oh and V, if you wouldn't mind making this for me and showing it to me, roughly what I was actually thinking is a ship shaped like a missile with at least 8 cannons on it, probably more like 10-12. And maybe a few particle beams or lasers. Oh, and the reason I want it shaped like a missile is just for kicks and giggles (a missile that shoots cannon balls lol).

Has anyone else had a type of ship they desire to see in action? For example, maybe an offensive ship that only uses lasers for weapons, or maybe a support ship that has only particle beams. Stuff like that, or really just any kind of ship you've wanted to see. I'm curious to see what's the most popular kind of ship. :)

I'd like to see a lathe ship with a ton of lasers in front of the lathe. Might be able to push straight towards a particle emitter while protecting itself ;D

All things are possible. some however, are insane. Like this.

Look at the cost and build time. :)

You guys stop fooling around with photoshop and teasing the noobs.

There is no way these are real ships!

Was the alpha released to some people already, or are you guys just making amazingly good image edits?

Woah, hey, is that a real ship? I was wondering if empty gaps on the interior were possible. Who doesn't like ring ships like the Vulcans have or those from the space game?

And also it is time for me to talk, with my super editor specially designed for particle fleet! It is called, ''Paint'' of WindowsXP!!!!!

(Also, this game needs a bit of doctor who, darkorbit, battlestar galactica and reassembly to the game)  :P ;D 8)

True, but twenty minutes after release could be anywhere from a month to a year or even more away from now, so why not have awesome people create ships you can dream about now?
(let's get this clear before this continues any further, I'm not trying to escalate this in to a flame war, or anything like that, just carrying on a friendly conversation)

Me too, probably, but I make ''possible'' ships that look more like barrels and bananas than super mega spaceships...

thank you making the ship!  :) how did you get the textures of the modules?
Title: Re: About cannons...
Post by: ShadowDragon7015 on September 24, 2015, 02:40:34 PM
If you take pictures from videos virgil has made and from profile pics from others you can cut and paste the different parts. Also someone posted a pic with a bunch of the parts separated. You just need to get the corner pieces in each direction and figure out the tone of grey. Then you can make your own in photoshop or in paint :)

Okay, here goes, three ships. Hopefully I didn't mix up any of the modules, or do anything with impossible geometries. But you can never be sure with such large and complicated designs.

The rock.
The decoy.
The defence mine.

Umm just to state for those making ships: it needs the command center(not sure if that is the name). That is the part (typically in the middle) that looks like a pyramid. That is where the ship would be controlled from as far as i know.

You must be young, or I must be old, or both. :P

Atari was one of the first consoles.  Came out in the early 80s

You are neither. Atari makes games still, such as the RCT (Rollercoaster Tycoon) series. Although, I think they did sell that recently.
So, perhaps you are one of the two, as I have not heard of any games that they have made since.

But in any case, here is the atari symbol. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcShiLDhid0OgkDFh-LpyVluVjwwM2Gn0R-9RsoEpPMsnce8-ixF

Yeah, I know...but most people know Atari for it's consoles.  If you ask 100 people today if they knew Atari still made games, I would guess 99 (or more) would say "No".

I think last game done by atari that I've played was Matrix - Path of Neo...at least 11 years ago. They're quite dormant these days.
