Topic: Hilarious, original mechanics

My ships use a combination of stealth, ECM, evasive maneuvers (in close quarters), and some flares as well. Yesterday, when playing with GamingGlen, Beowulf (my uncle), and my grandfather, I dropped ALL the flares my ships had, just to see what would happen. The result was this.

My ships are the black ones, my uncle's are the Navy ships, and Glen's were the Romulan ships. After dropping all the flares, the Bird of Pray had a -8 (stealth 3, ecm 1, evasive 1, 3 flares) when firing on my battleship (the one with the big nose).

Does anyone else have a wacky way of designing and playing ships? I'm always looking for new and fun ways to make a fleet XD

Actually, that's a Romulan Winged Defender (my favorite spaceship mini, and it didn't get destroyed in a battle for a change.. woohoo!), not a Bird of Prey (not Pray, btw), and a Drazi Sun Hawk cruiser from Babylon 5 following behind; both of which are painted in Glenian Space Fleet colors  big_smile .

We'll be polarizing our sensors from now on to fend off those small novas your Beadboy ships seem to like lighting up around us.

And I really should add a Rainbow (yes, I did put it in my ship builder spreadsheet  lol ) option to one of my weapons to colorize those boringly gray WW2 ships, and perhaps a shot of color onto your black ones as well.

I'm going to make tie-dye versions of these exact ships, bring them, and see the look on your face when you're getting shot down by space hippies. THEN WE SHALL SEE WHO'S LAUGHING!!!

Re: Hilarious, original mechanics

Needless-to-say, playing Starmada down here @ GamingGlenn's store is a great deal of fun.  wink 
We played three games during my short visit down here. 
I am returning to NE Fla, Jacksonville tomorrow, but will be back down here in the middle of April.
