X-Verse Fleet Fest I

[Gavrushka]

Tenlar Scarflame, I would love a copy of that if you get a chance to create it!

You can't set turrets either that I can see.

Nice fleet btw Merdocharr - good to see a Cerebus - A real potent anti fighter M7 and with the ideal load-out.

Ah, damn. That makes all my Rapiers rather pointless then. Time for a rearrangement...

Enough left for a lap dance off a fat lass.

[Triaxx2]

That's why I hate not having a copy of the game. Hmm...

Fine, make those Vanguards then.

[Cpt.Jericho]

Which would leave you with some extra cash. Do you really want to waste that? It's enough for at least 2 M6. Well, it's your fleet...

[Gavrushka]

& also @ Triaxx2 - Each ship will launch a max of maybe a dozen missiles I would think- so you can reallocate that money too by a reduction in missiles.

@Technojerk36: There is a pragmatic issue to consider - You're using Cyrows cheat package yes? - The problem I've found in testing this is the time it takes to get the two fleets created - It can take several minutes - and as soon as each ship / group is created they go into Idle mode and set off all over the sector - And Then the second group created will end up more tightly packed (less idle time) - Which could be giving them an advantage. You could end up with one fleet picking up stragglers rather than a full fleet engagement

[Triaxx2]

Hmm... by completely eliminating the missiles, I get another 38 mil.

Could you save the game before starting the fight and upload it?

So we all could see the amazing fights on our own computer.

By the way:
I have:
Intel Core i5 750
Zotac GTX 295
4 GB DDR3 Ram
57" Tripple Head Sreen

Cause of this I want to see the fights on my own computer

[Cpt.Jericho]

And still leaves you some cash if you choose to take some missles if you like.

I made a simple, one-sector deathmatch map. Download it, create a new folder in your x directory named "maps" and stick it in there - enable the galaxy editor and you should be able to load it in a custom game.

The four navigational beacons I've set up represent the fleet setup lines. "Red" team starts to the south, "Blue" team starts to the north. Red team must set up between the south two navigational beacons, Blue team must set up between the north two.

Re: getting all ships to join the fight at the right time. Sounds like something for a script to do... which unfortunately is not my area of expertise.

What MIGHT work is building the fleets in the Universe Editor instead - then loading them up in a custom game, where they SHOULD automatically attack each other if they're the right race.

[Gavrushka]

That's superb, and the ideal battleground.

All ships hold station unless attacked - I created a xenon and argon fleet a few kilometers apart and they just name called at each other - So something scriptwise will be needed for an interaction.

What I can tell you is performance if going to be great and then some! (I spawned 400 ships, and even when they were firing it was seamless)

It'll give everyone the chance, with Cycrows Cheat package also installed, to test out their fleets.
