ComCardinal's Community Convoy Escort Contest - Spring 2025

[DeepspaceMechanic]

Thank you so much! :'D I was afraid people were gonna point out that, from the sideview, the silhouette is suspiciously like that of a flaccid peepee

You should've been worried instead about you pointing that out :D otherwise, I wounldn't have noticed.

It's a Starmade build, sooner or later somebody was going to claim it has a phallic shape, whether true or not

I love those plates

 

[MeRobo]

Submission entry is not closed, however, until I release final scores!

since I see no final scores as of yet, behold, the Wizard Class Corvette, arriving precisely when it means to.

 

[ComCardinal]

Just a brief update, still doing reviews, still accepting late submissions, it is all taking me a little bit longer than expected, not the least because of real world matters, but I wanted to drop in and just provide that update! Nice work to everyone that has submitted since the initial closing, as well!

 

[DeepspaceMechanic]

I'm still deciding if I want to stagger release reviews or not

How's it going? Maybe posting the reviews you already finished would give you the boost necessary to finish the rest? And you could always cut back a bit on how thorough they are...


Also, a different idea: why don't we do a contest where the winner builds are decided simply by setting up a poll where fellow starmaders can vote on one of the entries? It would be less than this, but still more motivating than building without an external driving force.

I think its on the table, but I personally really enjoy reading in-depth reviews.

Same... It sure would be good if we'd keep having contests with in-depth reviews. But as we know from a few precedents, they can become burdensome for the organizer(s), especially if they are alone and the entries are plenty.

Simpler and quicker competitions shouldn't be a replacement, but something in addition.

 

[MeRobo]

especially if they are alone

I'm not sure about that, judging for Trident contests had issues related to scheduling due to multiple people being involved

 

[colonel lacu]

I gotta agree with robo, Doing them solo is a lot quicker and flexable than with more judges than the contest has submissions

 

[ComCardinal]

My apologies for the delays; I happened to chose a time for judging when I'd be unwittingly abducted by real world priorities. My schedule is beginning to clear up, and I will hopefully have some progress to post within the next week or so! Thanks for bearing with me, everyone!

oh no I can't unsee it

 

[DeepspaceMechanic]

There's also a guy in there with hazardstriped sideburns and mustache... easy to find, he's labeled as gui ded :D

 

[Rechkalov]

Why is everyone picking on my baby

 

[ComCardinal]

A little update for everyone - I've spent a good chunk of time on reviews lately, and I'm now more than half way through assessments/scoring!

 

[ComCardinal]

Further update, this has all taken a lot longer than I had hoped, but I have been making progress. I'm about 80-90% complete on my spreadsheet. Full text reviews should come almost concurrently with scores, since they sort of write themselves with how I've been doing the spreadsheet!
