nvm its named weird

#

You may design your own ship or pick one made available
@raven fern What avalible exactly?

raven fern
#

As in one posted by other people on any of the available platforms

#

I'll also soon edit the announcement with a workshop link to the modified tracks and last year's racing ships

undone zinc
#

What's the budget

raven fern
#

πŸ‘€

#

Unlimited, you're limited by the grid size

surreal pecan
raven fern
#

Or you can read the information documents and see that it needs to be a legal ship πŸ˜„

undone zinc
#

So just a build grid of thrusters

raven fern
#

You could do that, although more isn't necessarily better. In case you haven't read the document it's a 25x25

surreal pecan
raven fern
#

True, there are designs like Salephz's crash machine. Which is why I request that players send me their ships so I can check them as wellπŸ˜‰

desert sky
#

@raven fern You said it that the 25x25 area include thruster nozzle, can you please tell me if that's also the case for PDs & EMPs?

raven fern
#

If it has a hitbox then it must fit within the 25x25

desert sky
raven fern
#

Yep

desert sky
#

Thankies
Glad I already planned accordingly

desert sky
#

I think it's sad you cannot see the trailer from the in-game message and neither through the doc if you end up clicking it

raven fern
#

I edited the google doc, I don't think it's possible to have a playable video in game

snow seal
#

btw what version is it going to be played on?

#

wait there aren't any active rcs

raven fern
#

Stable version normally

#

Currently hosting trial runs for the Grand prix

sharp bane
#

Oh sheesh tourney I lowk forgor and just woke up but did have an alarm set to remind me

#

I'll be available in 30 mins hopefully sorry if it delays the brackets a lil

sharp bane
#

AH I clean forgot about the ship DM requirement and just re-read the rules

#

sorry >-<

#

still installing cosmoteer on this PC and it's going very slowly, so even if the tournament start is delayed, I don't think there's time for me to get ready

raven fern
#

No worries, we're doing trial runs in about 20 mins to allow the players to warm up and then the tournament itself happens 1h after that

sharp bane
#

AH cool

raven fern
#

We'll do the trial runs in 10-15mins as I'm doing some last min checks

desert sky
#

Phew, Goodness

#

Well I am here at last!

#

Oh, it's completely fine I understand. Wish the best for you and for them

sharp bane
#

Wishing you all the best blaze

My heart goes out to your family member blaze, infinitely more important than any cosmoteer event

@serene latch @snow seal @zenith current @young jacinth @rotund socket @crystal python @cobalt bloom @sharp bane @desert sky
I'm currently looking to pick a new date for the Grand Prix. This is also an opportunity for those who couldn't participate to sign up now.

hybrid hollyBOT

Which date would be most convenient for you?

1️⃣ <t:1735326000:F>

2️⃣ <t:1735412400:F>

3️⃣ Some other time in January

#

dynoSuccess Poll created.

raven fern
#

This is the last time I will ping you all, apologies for all the trouble.

#tournament-announcements message

#

link to the tracks is broken :(

raven fern
#

They are, minus the pitstop area for your backup ships. I'll share a new link asap

snow seal
raven fern
#

I don't know how many will read this but react with βœ… if you guys can make it on Sunday the 29th

snow seal
#

i think it's better if u put that in he signup channel?

#

wait or a poll in #tournament-announcements

supple vapor
#

@gilded spindle can i assume no tourney this month bc holidays?

gilded spindle
quick kelp
#

@crystal python it says the time adjusted for your timezone in [this message](#1313225016896258150 message)

crystal python

young jacinth

raven fern
#

Alright, I've edited the message in #tournament-announcements as it would seem that Sunday is the prefered day.

desert sky
raven fern
#

Nah

#

All of you who already confirmed again have reacted as available in the poll above so it's fine

snow seal
#

thank you blaze πŸ₯Ή

cloud escarp
#

hey just to be sure about the Grand Prix rules - "thruster cones" means the nozzle texture at the end, right? or is it referring to the no-build zone emitted by the thruster?

raven fern
#

Yeah, basically anything that has a hitbox needs to be within the 25x25 limit

cloud escarp
#

got it, thank you :)

snow seal
#

can ctrlc ctrlv a box with a 25x25 hole without destroying any of the ship

cloud escarp
#

One more question about grand prix ships - are we allowed to paint them if we make R/G/Y/B variants? Or should they just be coated with the same solid color?

raven fern
#

You can do so!

#

As long as they can distinctively be recognized as one of the four colors

cloud escarp
#

got it, thanks!

cloud escarp
#

ok actual last question: does anyone have the race tracks? The link on the discord doesn't work anymore and I couldn't find anything through searching the server/steam workshop

gilded spindle
young jacinth
desert sky
#

I had this issue with my paint contest already, you just cannot give a permanant link to discord attachments outside of discord itself.
You either have to keep updating it every few days or use a link to a more conventional data holder such as good ol google drive

sharp bane
#

^ yeah, they realised people were using discord as a personal CDN and cut the support for it

desert sky
#

@young jacinth Did you stopped to mention unofficial/awards

young jacinth
surreal pecan
#

Oh wow, finally an autopilot tournament.

#

It's just Plaus goofing around with stuff, fighting a clone of himself maybe

#

.Not even like an ai tournament where people submit ships XD.

cloud escarp
#

is that grand prix trial run still going on today?

#

I saw in the announcements that there was gonna be a training run 24hrs prior

desert sky
#

A better way to phrase this would be "can still race with me if anything"

cloud escarp
#

oh ok I see then, ty

#

I'm a smidge busy atm so I'll just wait for the main tournament in 24hrs :)

raven fern

@raven fern

I cant talk so I cant tell you @raven fern :(

#

A training lobby has been set up while we wait for the last remaining players

zenith current
#

requesting to join the training lobby

sharp bane
#

what's the lobby called

snow seal

#

Lobby has been opened, you can find the lobby in co-op 3AL. Name: Grand Prix

raven fern

Yes in a moment, trial runs are still going

desert sky
gilded spindle
#

Missed the trial runs, sad

#

ah well, I'll make it work!

desert sky
#

The lack of a partner to train with completely annihilated my practice time

Though I admit I should've asked Plaus

sharp bane

#

@raven fern If I understood correctly this is the loser bracket match that will decide which player goes into the final round?

raven fern
#

Not yet

#

there are s till 1 W bracket and 2 L brackets before the finals

desert sky
#

Thank you slowking!

#

Thank you blaze!

#

Thanks to all contestants I had a very much ton amount of fun

cloud escarp
#

thanks everyone! this was super fun and I learned a lot

#

also my despair when I started slipping up at the final race was insurmountable lol

desert sky
#

I was ready to accept second place when I saw your large mass in front of me

cloud escarp
#

I'm surprised it did so well in that track tbh, in the test runs I did it was awful in that track specifically

#

didn't practice salephz's tracks enough though

raven fern
#

The final race was the most uncertain one we got. Players snatching first place from each other midway through. It was great fun to watch you all pilot!

supple vapor
#

@desert sky congrats (:

gray verge
#

Is there a replay (twitch/YouTube) of the grand prix available?

Sounds good, will wait for it then

@desert sky congrats!!!!!! I'm so proud of you :p

Thank you! I am so happy!

@gusty sequoia #1332333320490717196 message its adjusted to your time

gusty sequoia
#

thanks, sorry I asked in the wrong chat <3

young jacinth
#

np

desert sky
#

I would gladly join but arh, host time not ideal

young jacinth
desert sky
#

Litterally an hour later, cos at this point and on I have all but nothing and it isnt a hassle to attend anything lengthy

#

The ideal is two hours later but then it would start to overlap with me needing to sleep if it lengthen too much

gusty sequoia
#

if the time is variable, an hour earlier would also be better for me as well (I only have an hour and a half after the scheduled time)

young jacinth
gusty sequoia
#

ah my bad, sorry miss read

desert sky
#

🀷 kinda normal to never have a host time that fits everyone's schedule

young jacinth

As I said an hour later is a better time than it is currently, and yes I would be able to participate

#

Tragic I can’t make the 500k tourney

gusty sequoia
#

also I wanted to ask, what is classified as "cancer paint"? is stuff like the cabal of sol ships or the attached target block be too far? or is it just really particularly egregious stuff?

white apex
#

i think th at is too far

#

anythinf w/ epilepsy risk or purposefully obscuring

olive wren
#

extremely bright and saturated, clashing colours, no care put into actually making it look good

young jacinth
#

@gusty sequoia sorry I didnt realize you were signing up

desert sky
#

I wouldn't call this cancer paint, that's just bad taste!

olive wren
#

the difference between "really bad paint" and "cancer paint" is the same as the difference between a camera flash and a flashbang grenade

@gilded spindle any word on the feb tournament? the jan one got cancelled and you mentioned sometime that the one in feb will be early in the month

gilded spindle
#

Honestly I've made a fine mess out of the tournaments lately, I'll organise soon

supple vapor
#

So January tourney is canceled and there should be one for February are we still running the pick ban system with 5 ships?

It was fun and I liked it I’m just confirming

@gilded spindle tourney this month?

#

3v3 tourney when

raven fern
#

I'm not sure there are enough active players to field more than two teams for a 3v3 πŸ˜…

young jacinth
#

even getting 2 teams is a stretch

cloud escarp
#

With a fun twist I think it could be possible, but definitely not at the usual 1.5mil requirements

#

Giving each player 100k credits would be pretty funny

surreal pecan

A 100k 2v2 could be wild.

#

@young jacinth u should have tbs far ish from the track that push the ball

#

like with only 1 player it keeps going to the wall

young jacinth
snow seal
#

if they are far enough it shouldnt affect too much, just something to passively unstuck the ball

young jacinth
#

if its enough to do that its enough to be annoying

#

and the ball getting stuck wasnt a big issue in testing anyways

For the football tourney will self destructing one’s own parts be allowed? (Things like structure not reactors :p)

As a viewer, I don't know how I feel about this format - there's significant upsides and downsides:

+++

  1. Matches are less "random" in that you can't get unfairly countered by someone with a significantly worse ship lineup that you would otherwise 100-0 in a fair fight, so the "better" players win more often
  2. It's really cool to strategize and put yourselves in the shoes of the players to think about what they'd pick

You can also see whether your proposed strategies come to fruition or if they work


  1. There is more title screen time than actual gameplay, unless every match is a full 10 minutes of rod stalling

The ratio is already bad without this new format due to playing being late or taking a long time to pick a ship

  1. Players with smaller ship libraries have practically no chance to win - as a viewer this isn't fun because the entire pick time and following match feels pointless as the match outcome is already determined.
  2. Minor logistical issues/armor distribution in the submitted ships cannot be modified mid-tournament

One of the things slowking could've done in his match vs erin's tb rail as the barge could've been to remove a couple of missile launchers and add armor so the matchup next time would be more favorable, but that was not possible because the submitted ships cannot be rechosen. Also, slowking's chaingun rammer had a bunch of mags misaligned by 1 tile which severely crippled its firepower (this made the difference between beating the noob box and not)

  1. The total amount of ships any player can bring is fundamentally limited, so there are basically no surprises save for some misleading silhouettes that only last a match or two (I thought erin's nuke ion was a normal ion, for example)
#

TLDR; I don't like the format

gilded spindle
#

@young jacinth My cg rammer sucks, can I update it?

granite river
#

-# see point 3 of my complaint

gilded spindle
granite river
#

okay, that's very interesting

#

this still only addresses half of my point

#

I think for the player the experience is better than it is for the viewer

gilded spindle
#

So hear me out

#

Back to preview on, no ban system and if people win because of variety, that's a good thing

young jacinth

if it can happen it will happen eventually

gilded spindle

#

i think it might be interesting to either just use the countdown (but this has the problem of better pc haa massive advantage, my load time for my library is literally longer than the countdown) or have them send it to host and they go in raw

#

there shouldn't be too many "teehee i counter you" because people should be scared to bring in hard counterable things

white apex
#

true

#

counterpicking is avoidable however

gilded spindle
#

past the baseline that is

supple vapor
#

Any pick ban is more fun than pure rando to play

gilded spindle
#

I'm not suggesting that

supple vapor
#

Not opposed to slowkings thing tho

#

Until someone ruins it worth trying out

gilded spindle
#

And if somebody ruins it, they didn't. You've just learned that that particular person is untrustworthy when it matters

supple vapor
#

Pure rando is awful to play in imo

supple vapor
gilded spindle
#

Yea, and if somebody swaps last second, they'll get bullied after the tourney or somethin

#

Nah, It'll just be viewed in a particular way

supple vapor
#

You may have won but you have no honor ahhh system

#

But weapon bans are awful and blind picks are awful

#

If you dislike the system please present a solution that doesn’t ignore the reasons for the system in the first place

#

But a lot of the complaints are from just absolute library diffs but imo ship libarys are a significant component of building skill

forest cedar
#

yall should know im untrustworthy

supple vapor
#

Another idea is to have the players discuss pick / bans with each other back and forth ahead of time before each match to make it much more seamless / much much less down time between matches

white apex
#

not for anything else

#

that is the point

gilded spindle
white apex
#

if the rules are shit then fix the rules

gilded spindle
#

The rules aren't shit

white apex
#

if there is an "honor system" then formalize it

#

make it a rule

gilded spindle
#

Honor can't be a rule, since it's subjective

white apex
#

then it shouldn't be an official tournament about skill

undone zinc
#

It just takes so long

#

So

#

So bloody long

#

It's also not even about skill

#

It's just about manoeuvring a counter pick in your favour beforehand

#

To bullshit the match into a free win

#

Also whoever bans first is at a massive advantage

#

Id say if you ban first you just win

supple vapor
#

How is having a more thought out line up bullshit?

#

This format "works" for its intended purpose (reducing rng in matchups) but I think it sucks at everything else including being interesting

I personally do not feel motivated to play in a tournament like this

undone zinc

Id rather rng than counterpicking

#

Just feels toxic

maybe try 3 ship self ban to cut down on the necessary time and library

#

One of the biggest reasons I’ve stopped playing tournaments

#

The draft was cool for a one-off but I’d like to see it gone now or at least alternate with weapon ban

#

-# I also liked weapon ban because it was a very good way of proving which weapons are OP

supple vapor
#

We got rid of the weapon ban format bc ppl wanted to be able to run their main ship style without instant counter ban (bread on rails, Luna on ions, j uki on cgs) and of whom suffer greatly under mono weapon ban system - ( i think cy also wanted this bc they were only running rail ships and literally couldn’t play at the time)

#

A changing line up that each player just assigns themselves each game might be a move tho

#

Not sending stuff into the host

Update for unbal: ml now bypass shields

i suggest that tractor beams tooltips are now completely accurate because there will be no problems at all if this is done

young jacinth

So how would you change the tooltip?

olive wren
#

i can't think of a single balancing issue that may result

young jacinth

Thats pretty redundant with what tb already do in the mod

olive wren

wait, they're changed? i didn't see a change to tb in the document

yea TB aren't mentioned at all in that pdf, and the other link didn't work

so i didn't know they were changed

i am curious, what does t he mod do to em

Huh guess I forgor them

Oh amazing

the hard part is less that its hard to think of stupid changes and more that u already changed a lot of stuff

I think the max range can be modified? Not really what you are suggesting though

olive wren

can firing arc be modified easily?

#

360 degree flak

I just feel 360 fire arcs are not really that exciting

thats fair

1 degree firing arc also not that exciting even if u mess around with damage ig

you ideally want to get a spin ram as you have side launchers

if youve ever seen a nion in a ram, that

riiiiiifffffftttt you have to fly straight at it to get penetrating nuke lines

#

plaus showed me once in VC how to beat the noob box (inconsistently) with ul nuke

#

just need rotation

rotation means ur nukes have diff momentum meaning they line up better

and cant target where u want

for the noob box its more about people just not playing the adequate counters

because we are used to a aggro speed meta rather than a passive heavy one
....as for the CG "sidewinder" thing, i have no words

and i have no fucking clue how to beat it

tacit nacelle

I should have won with tbrail I think but I threw

with 8 rails I can cut off the hook

A regular old timey railfan would have no trouble beating this I suspect.

didn't you watch rift's match against it with her tb rail

the problem is that the noob box uses nukes to counter slow ships lmao

surreal pecan

No I didn't.

surreal pecan
trim anchor
#

well have fun with your match taking 8 years

surreal pecan
trim anchor

because you underestimate how much armor plaus's ship has

and keep in mind that its not a spinner, it can move

i am almost completely certain its a lot more toxic than UL meta

I think a nuke hit-and-run is the solution. That's why nuke facs are objectively superior to storage.

And you're taking it far too seriously.

anyways

just start playing pvp more

and see how long it takes to kill a UL ship (avoiders included)

compared to the tournament matches today

#

i assure you, the noob box is a lot more toxic than UL ships

trim anchor
surreal pecan
#

I have played against noob box. I have played against geckige ship too and have beaten it on multiple occasions. Don't teach me how to play this game's pvp I've been playing for years longer just because you're caught up on the latest meta trends.
Sorry if I'm sounding aggressive, I don't mean any of it.

#

thx

surreal pecan
#

It's an unorthodox but good hybrid

trim anchor
#

the difference is that der geckige isn't a good player

#

plaus is

surreal pecan
#

Geckige is a great player, why this toxicity.

#

It doesn't take an oem level pilot to do a literal noob box justice.

#

A lot of the weird ships I use are perfect fit at defeating these slow ships, as if I was preparing for my whole life.
