Here's another ship, only it's Rebel this time.
The "D" class Rebel Destroyer, Triton Corsair.

Heh, I don't know if you're going to love your Rebel Destroyer so much after you get a chance to play with the Supercruiser Skyblade. It's not quite as fast or manuverable, but it does turn as well, and carries just a little bit more power.
Your post also reminds me that you, David, and I all get përss in the plug. At some point, I'll need stats from each of you.

As soon as you need the stats for the pers, just let me know.

(quote)Originally posted by Captain Skyblade: **Well, you're wrong!:p Since you're sure you want to stick with your Destroyer, I guess you can give me the stats whenever. I suppose you can always change your mind later. Do play with the Cruiser some when we get to alpha anyway, I do want this stuff tested some.
Doing OK with my description for the Supercruiser, or are you going to need a sketch?

As for the stats, just make a post with all the required fields for a per, and I'll fill them out for you.
As for the supercruiser, I can start work on it now (I don't need a sketch. Thanks, though). Just keep in mind that all the ships I've been designing are not for "Battle for Sol" only. I intend on making my own plugin with all the ships I create someday, so this isn't just a "one time deal" so-to-speak.
I made you a pretty generic Rebel Destroyer përs to start with, named R.S.S. Triton Corsair. So I need: System: If you'd like to be in a particular system or group of systems(govt relationships), I can do that. Agression Shield % at which you run Up to 4 weapon modifications Credits CommQuote (When player hails you) Hailquote (Said when hailing player) (You can create your own for these, don't have to use preset ones) Flags (Grudge, Escape Pod, when to showw HailQuote, that stuff)
Name: Captain Skyblade Ship type: Rebel Destroyer Gov: Rebellion System to be located in: Anywhere, Rebel space in particular. AI type: Warship Weapons: six turbolaser turrets, two torpedo launchers, two missile launchers, two heavy rocket launchers. Ammo for weapons: twenty-five torpedoes, thirty missiles, ten heavy rockets. Credits: 250,000 % Shield Modification: 200 Comm Quote: "Have you seen a Confederation Argosy commanded by David Arthur? He's next on the 'blow up' list..." Hail Quote: "Join the Rebellion, fight for liberty, seek justice, and destroy the tyrants who oppress the galaxy." holds grudge: Yeap. escape pod 'n afterburner: Both will do. I always use an afterburner, and if I'm blown up, atleast I would have gotten away in my escape pod. hail quote when grudge: "You'll regret seeing my bad mood, because this is the last time you will see it." hail when likes player: "Hey man, nice ship! You're in good shape as long as you don't have blue markings."
Do those stats sound alright?
Alright, here's some supply ships if you care to use them.
Confederation Freighter ( upgraded light freighter )
Rebel Freighter

(quote)Originally posted by Macavenger: **Hail quotes: Um, I guess I need to clarify, you only get one. The times are which times you want that one shown. Sorry, engine limits. I assume you want the first one, only when you're happy? EP and burner: Don't think EV përss get the burner, but EP is a go. Comm quote: Heh, I've been wondering lately what happened to that Argosy.
Sure, go ahead and use the first hail quote I mentioned.
You don't know what happened to David's Argosy? It got destroyed during the Battle at Stardock Alpha.
He said that wasn't his, though.

Wasn't his Argosy? If I remember correctly, I was positive he said he was the commander of that ship.
Originally posted by David Arthur in BfS, after Captain Skyblade destroyed the blue Argosy: Hmm. I wonder where that Argosy came from. It certainly wasn't mine - mine would return fire with a lot more than proton turrets, and its armour is far from thin. Sorry!
I'll update your përs later this afternoon.

I think David was unhappy I had made it so easy to destroy his Argosy. As far as I'm concerned, there was only one argosy in the entire "battle for sol" topic that matched that description, and it got destroyed.

Except that the Argosy wasn't at the place where you destroyed it, and was actually quite powerful enough to defend itself against the single destroyer you sent after it. Remember, it was an upgraded Argosy in the same sense as a Rebel destroyer is an upgraded Argosy.
In any case, you may have noticed that I've phased out using myself as a character in Battle for Sol, and am now using an assortment of various Alliance and Confederation characters.

Well, when I made that post describing how that argosy was destroyed, I said something along the lines of "the argosy responded with a volley of proton turret fire, offering the Triton Corsair some moderate damage." I figured that would have been enough to describe the argosy's destruction, but I guess I didn't realize it was armed with more than just proton turrets.
I've noticed that you aren't actually a character anymore, which is a good idea. Since you are the only poster representing the Confederation, it's a reasonable idea. Keep at it...
Macavenger- Here's a new graphic. If you can't already tell what it is, it's a Manta.

Great, thanks for complicating my plug more. :rolleyes:
Can we have this be about the end of the new stuff?

I'm not exactly sure what you meant in your last sentence. Define, please?

I think he means he wants to freeze the plugin's feature set.
