Well time to keep bumping this so people remember.

I really like the look of those drones.

 

[Crashmaster]

I've got a little 75 mass drone and a launch system for 32 of them mostly ready to upload for the competition. They are focused on compact size and using small ships' power storage and rapid overheating benefits. The drones are a bit simple looking and still need to be re-coloured and get some striping at least.

But the deployment pattern I'm happy with.


Still tons of time left.

Care mraawesome0002 could be sad to be DQ cause of :

- The Rack name has to be of the format "dwr"_"builder name"_"optional rack name" i.e. dwr_drakkart_myherosrack

 

[Drakkart]

yummi! looking forward to it

you need to reupload that - The Rack name has to be of the format "dwr"_"builder name"_"optional rack name" i.e. dwr_drakkart_myherosrack this has it's reasons trust me i won't be able to find your rack otherwise in my world.

name convention... reupload please

 

[StormWing0]

Well that's odd the name of the zip file got changed to some crazy number/char string. All that has to be changed about the main title of the CC topic is the name but the sment inside the zip file does fit the naming conventions unless I messed something up without knowing it.

Reuploading to see if that fixes the zip file name, even if it doesn't the sment inside is unaffected.
[doublepost=1469020546,1469019964][/doublepost]Reuploading zip doesn't fix it but the sment inside goes by naming conventions, no idea what's up.

 

[Madman198237]

Blueprint downloading screws up the names all the time, I wouldn't worry about it much. Drakkart will most likely have to rename most or all of the racks, because .sment file names get screwed up for some reason or another. It's unavoidable.

 

[StormWing0]

Upload the sment files in zip files, anything inside the zip is unaffected by this site bug.

 

[Drakkart]

thanks for that tip. renaming... time intense...

 

[Sgtwisky]

so zip the .sment.... good to know. Also the hype is starting to get real. The more I see of the drones you guys are making the more intense the competition looks. Hope we end up with a bunch of exciting battles. And hopefully no hour long slug fests XD

Woops, first time doing this misunderstood what it meant for rail launcher system. New updated release upcoming with the new drone launcher.

 

[Drakkart]

roughly 8,5 days left untill submissions end.

 

[Drakkart]

ok 3 submissions a week of time left... i guess a few people are holding back which is ofc ok just don't miss the deadline!

Sadly i have to inform you that the judges probably will not be able to do their judgement ahead of time/at all. As it looks like, Borst is not interested in starmade right now, due to the glimpse behind the curtain as councilmember, he mentioned dal might not be interested either. So i messaged dal but no response yet So probably we will just have some awesome fights. Depending on my real life situation i might find the time to scout for new co-hosts but please do not nail me on that. Sorry

 

[Sgtwisky]

Excellent. My assassination attempts on the judges have been effective ! Now I cannot lose points for looks ! :D

In all seriousness though sad they wont be available. But I am sure the battles will still turn out well.

In other news, I should be able to upload mine tonight. Just have to fix a tiny rail bug (already know what to do) and upload my drone team !
*Dramatic Music*
Muahahahahaha!!

And here is my entry:

You just have to get into the core and use the logic button labeled "Release Drones". They should release and be ready to fight.

 

[Crashmaster]

Mine is up;
dwr_Crashmaster_Chimera
Activate the logic button on the rear to launch. Ai's are all set.

ARF Duuuuuuude ! You made a great mistake.

- maximum of 3 different type of drones

That "type" is a bit vague.
Is it concern only drone's concepts/roles ? or also decorative and minor colours swapping changes ?
I.e. : Imagine 4 strictly same drones about systems, hull general shape, roles and stats but with different colours, different superficial hull patterns (last external hull) or number assigned (n°1,2,3,4).
In practical terms would it be possible to do something like that without getting disqualified by that rule : [C]-[R]-[O]-[Q]
Or it'll be necessary to do that kind of stuffs : [CROQ]-[CROQ]-[CROQ]-[CROQ]

Type means a maximum of 3 different drone types a type being a systems design and/or mechanically wise equally equiped than another of that role. Preferably the types can be distinguished by looks.
The judges are not going to judge more than 3 different drones per submission to determine their score. overall score = amount of type 1 x 1/3 of score of type 1, amount of type 2 x 1/3 of score of type 2, amount of type 3 x 1/3 of score of type 3 and if there is a type four then this leads to a disqualify. we need to keep the workload minimal sorry to cut into creative freedom here but we have to limit it.

You have 8 different drones. At its actual state you risk the disqualification. :/

 

[Madman198237]

Are there three different types and several different colors? Colors shouldn't matter, as long as it's just a recolor and no changes of appearance other than color are made. That's my opinion, not Drakkart's, so don't quote me on that.
