Azure Alliance Design Board

[Arcalane]

Follow the public design rules. That's it. Anything goes!

You have no defined aesthetic requirements at this stage. I suggest you confer amongst yourselves and decide on one if more than one of you will be designing ships.

Don't forget you need to include blue markings on your ships!

Ed: Please remember to include blueprints and working with your downloads so we can doublecheck things more easily.

To start us, off, i've made a Excel worksheet that you can use to figure out power, mass and other stats with a few drag drop menus.

Edit: Deh. I guess you could use mine if you were offline or somethin .

Also, a WIP:

Spoiler!

For the individual ship designs, i'd say that all ships should at least have a similar sprite combination configuration somewhere in the design.

Psst. W&W made a calculator [url=http://bsf_meta2_calculator.byethost17.com/index.php]here[/url] a while ago.

I say we would need an organized sprite palette.

EDIT: we might need a naming convention as well.

I say we would need an organized sprite palette.

And maybe something like a general theme, like penisbricks or starshaped or w/e ships.

Since its only the test run, why not go with Alpha, Beta, Centauri etc.

[LactoseTolerant]

As for the naming convention, perhaps names of colors similar to azure?

I'd think that'd it be easier to define a style first, then select the palette that fits, though i'm up for any style really.

[CheesyErwin]

I drafted out something small.

AZ-GS-01 Mongbat-class Gunship


I prefer a terran/utilitarian style.

[Kal Adama]

Here's something I put together for the AA... tell me what you think.

[Anna]

Yeah, I don't think they're gonna let you design ships, Kal.

Just hazarding a guess.

[Kal Adama]

Hell Anna, practice makes perfect. And I am getting better... talked to a few friends of mine who lurk here, they say the shapes aren't bad, i just need to work on my colouring... meh XD

[Corporal Jomn]

I vote Cheesey and Lactose to make the ships. (No offence to you Kal, that ship's pretty good.)

[Corporal Jomn]

FYI to everyone designing ships, it has been decided on our IRC to make ships using Shiny and the assorted packs. They just look better.

[Doogie12]

Hi.
Edit*
I don't intend to use this exact design...consider it more like the raw version.

[calvin1211]

Here's what I have for now. Still unnamed.
Size 95, Standard core, 2 standard engines, 3 heavy autocannon and 1 HEL.
It's statted and armed, but I still need some feedback.

[Corporal Jomn]

Calvin, just in case you didn't know, we have decided on the irc that our design policy is small but spamed ships.

EDIT: Great ship by the way.
