[hard rover]

yeah but i can;t build a ship when i lag to 1fps with a 10mil one

[gray halo]

I arredy made a 10mil ship

and it aint got no thrust

[hard rover]

but also then again i could also make a ship fast enough to ram with ocrails before the emps hit

then probably also fast enough to push so fast that the emps can't land

[gray halo]

u sure?

cus I can do the same as you

[hard rover]

you have 100mil to add mrts

[hard rover]

i mean for the mirrors i'd have ocflak on autofire

[gray halo]

90*

[gray halo]

diagonal

[hard rover]

that doesn't matter though the projectiles won't be able to go past the flak clouds

[gray halo]

but my ship can

[hard rover]

how then?

[gray halo]

speed

bro my ship looks a bit like lewiatan

[hard rover]

i don't see how speed matters when i'm putting flak on autofire every tile (via layering them with only 1 tile)

[gray halo]

I can move thrue the cloud also not inf ammo on your ship

[hard rover]

the clouds stick to your ship and i don't need to live forever you're on a timer with my ocrails

[gray halo]

some how my ship png still is less than a 200 kb

[gray halo]

man my ship is so big that when I was holding and moving to place radiators in a row they had a 5 time gap betwen them

27% done

[gray halo]

I was fighting some bossfights and I realized that my ship is weak as hell

so gona remake it from ground up

[cloud escarp]

ok so just so I understand this right, all control rooms touching = there needs to be a command blob somewhere on the ship with all the control rooms, those being adjacent, right?

It's hard for me to wrap my head around this, like, with such massive ships, a lot of weapons that are fine having a 600m range suddenly will have issues because huge ships permits ships that are 1000x1000

[gray halo]

my game crashed

[cloud escarp]

so if you sent two 1000x1000 boxes against each other, and let's say you used a missile launcher, this'd be the range on it (yellow)

[gray halo]

huh quite small I would say

also first time seeing this thing

[cloud escarp]

yeah it's so small that it feels kinda limiting, because there's not much aside from trl or railguns that could ever be viable

[gray halo]

and dc spam

[cloud escarp]

I mean I guess we'll just have to see what happens when Plaus tries to run the tournament lol

[cloud escarp]

they have a range of 190, which is even worse

[gray halo]

close deffense for ramers alike

[cloud escarp]

also the fact all command rooms have to be in one spot means that penetration matters more than anything

I guess I'll just try making a prototype 100mil ship and see how wide it actually is

[gray halo]

I just realized that so

gona a bit remodel the back

[cloud escarp]

how wide is this thing?

actually, how tall as well?

[gray halo]

wait can we just make a wall of cockpits too connect 2 bridges togeder?

or we cant>

[wild horizon]

i made this to counter rails but i realized i have no idea what the weapons will be

[cloud escarp]

I have never seen anything in Cosmoteer greater than 25mil, that's what terrifies me about this

[tulip monolith]

295 by 408

[cloud escarp]

ok yeah so two side by side are around 800 wide

[tulip monolith]

(lenget and width)

[gray halo]

I tried this and it survived only 2 hits at the same time so ye aint doing that again

also this is an old ship Im making a new one

[cloud escarp]

with these sizes and costs it feels more like an effort to try and defend your only command center rather than trying to kill the opponent

but also just 600 range for all this is bananas

[wild horizon]

what weapons are practical at this scale besides rails

[cloud escarp]

missiles??

[gray halo]

trl

[gray halo]

maybe cg

[cloud escarp]

yeah ouch, the range on those chainguns

[tulip monolith]

it basicly just has an x of death at the front

[wild horizon]

xbox

[cloud escarp]

I have an idea, I have things to do though so I'll build it later. it might be a counter to rails, we'll see

[wild horizon]

prisms?

[tulip monolith]

the chainguns are also staggered in a way that they are always going

[gray halo]

oh wait ions too

[cloud escarp]

prisms are only 300 range

[wild horizon]

i mean counter rails

[tulip monolith]

not updated for oc

the guy that does it is working on a new one

[gray halo]

ah

[cloud escarp]

this picture tells me a very clear message but I won't spoil it

[wild horizon]

emp

[tulip monolith]

imingen if someone makes an emp spam ship that literaly has thousands of them

[gray halo]

emp is easily counered thow

[tulip monolith]

actualy... i should do that

[gray halo]

unless you got so many that they destroy the armor

[tulip monolith]

thousand

[gray halo]

then go ached destroy plausis pc

game crashed again

[gray halo]

40% done

[burnt dust]

i better see an avoider get played this game or else il be vewy sad

[wild horizon]

i will also do that

[wild horizon]

avoider?

[burnt dust]

gaming

[gray halo]

Im a bit late but you know that ships will be played with the basic ai on plausis pc?

[burnt dust]

ye

do avoider

[gray halo]

my avoider will shoot you down using the void

it is an "a voider" after all

[cloud escarp]

@young jacinth btw, I would recommend having asteroids completely off for this event

[gray halo]

I dont think they where on in the first place

[cloud escarp]

it wasn't specified in the tournament rules, so I wanted to bring it up

[gray halo]

ah

[young jacinth]

Its an empty creative world

[hard rover]

i mean a bunch of missiles could kill it easily though

[hard rover]

yeah but something to consider is if you're willing to deal with fall off it's 300m off the edge of your ship

since each prism resets the range

[young jacinth]

@gray halo @tulip solar vs @bright anchor me

[young jacinth]

@tiny cradle @frigid hedge vs us

[gray halo]

lost :(

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor @brisk briar vs @gray halo @tulip solar

[gray halo]

got it

[frigid hedge]

That boost thruster setup is the Casino thruster

[frigid hedge]

I made that joke and it stuck

[young jacinth]

@frigid hedge @tiny cradle vs @gray halo @tulip solar

[young jacinth]

@supple vapor @brisk briar vs us

[gray halo]

hell ye

[young jacinth]

@bright anchor lol

[gray halo]

welp that was fun

[green shoal]

Stupid question

Would tornoments allow multi fleets?

[young jacinth]

you can always use multiple ships if its not explicitly disallowed

For current tourneys the 100mil one does dissallow it but you could use multiple on the 50k one

[green shoal]

Oh ok. I was wondering.

[young jacinth]

@gray halo depends on the number of participants. Round robin would be bo3 and double elim is usually only bo3 in finals

[gray halo]

ah

also 50k ships are way harder than I though

[young jacinth]

Yea I have not even tried yet

[gray halo]

I have 1 weapong and I had to give up the reactor cus I was out of money

[gray halo]

I was testing my ship and I realized that its very good but it dies to basic passive cooled dom waists

good thing that it won against pd waist that costs exacly 50 k with 4 wins 2 loses with ai and manual it never lost

[gray halo]

ok made a new one that wins with every single one of my 50k ships I made (propobly)

and even won against some 100k (but not meta) ships

so ye 50k ship done unless bordom gets me and I would make another one

[gray halo]

I made like 63% of the 100 mil ship and Im so out of ideas that I started to paint it

[cloud escarp]

I would only paint a fucking 100 mil credit ship if I was paid by the hour to do it

[gray halo]

aint got paint but got that hour

[burnt dust]

just use a paintcard a hundred times, no one will notice i promise

[gray halo]

I just added some text and basic paint and 6 eyes thats it

[gray halo]

had some empty space so made this in there (still got too much empty space thow)

[hard rover]

i bet i can paint a 100mil ship in like 2-3 hours

[gray halo]

ye painting isnt hard but doing a very detaled paint may take a bit longer depending on the detales

[hard rover]

i was assuming most basic details but i think unless i'm doing asym i just need to lock in for a day or 2 for most details i can fit

[gray halo]

ye IM a bit bored so maybe gona paint now (and maybe even add some other things

[hard rover]

for reference left is my most basic and right is my most detailed

(the one on the right literally took like 12x the time that the one on the left took)

[gray halo]

huh ye most of my ships are just poland flags but there are some better painted like thes onec

[gray halo]

huh

[hard rover]

the ship on the left was a speed run and took like 20mins to paint

[gray halo]

also made this eye and the thing on the left to that big ship that we make\

[gray halo]

ah

just made them glow too

[gray halo]

the big problem that I just found is that if you have pipes connecting EVEYRTHING in the 100 mil scale it will LAG SO MUCH when your copy some to connect somwere else or just place smth over 1

[hard rover]

separate the grids then

[gray halo]

cant cus of trls

paint is looking good

[gray halo]

eye update

[gray halo]

I almoust crashed my game by selecting all object in my 100 mil ship insted of copy pasting

[gray halo]

man I start to like lights more and more

[gray halo]

just tested my ship on itself and just gona say this

good luck plaus

and your pc

[regal blaze]

wait what happens if someone's ship just crashes the game immediately? are they disqualified?

[tulip monolith]

would be funny

[gray halo]

sometimes my game turn white and sais the crash thing but if you wait a bit it doesnt crash so

also I think im at 70% done

[young jacinth]

Yea if i cant get it to work

[gray halo]

then its better for you to desable as much things as posible

[young jacinth]

the graphics dont really have an impact. I think its actually the physics system that struggles the most. Though I cant be certain of that

would actually be a good question for walt

[gray halo]

well graphics will propobly also take a bit cus of the hole size of thows ships

[young jacinth]

Not really in my testing

[gray halo]

well at least the particles will

[regal blaze]

should I still submit a maximally laggy ship tho

[earnest cypress]

I have a question for the 100 mil tournament, What is stalling, I have some ideas on ship design but I don't want to do anything against the rules.

nevermind I just reread the rules and that is in the allowed section

[young jacinth]

Stalling means there is no progress in the fight for an extended period like both ships saying out of range of each other

[young jacinth]

oh thought you meant the 100mil specific part

[gray halo]

I just realized that I think I made my ship a bit too fast

[sonic flame]

not sure there can be intended stalling in ai to ai besides both ships coming severely underarmed

[gray halo]

my ship is a bit too armed that I cant put another thing to arm it

[young jacinth]

1. make ship fast
2. make ship run away

[sonic flame]

i guess if one makes it realllyy far away attack position....

[gray halo]

almoust done

[gilded spindle]

Will you explode explosive charges at the start of the fight?

[young jacinth]

If its requested. You cant make a splitter though

[gilded spindle]

dang. I can just blow up a bridge, though

[gray halo]

this sounds so bad outr of context

[gilded spindle]

Brief scan of the document shows that I can make a splitter, it'll just have to be via sacrifice of a bridge between the two sections

[gray halo]

huh

[gilded spindle]

I think if it's disallowed it should be noted

[young jacinth]

Oh yea I guess you can do it

[gilded spindle]

Can I provide instructions like "shoot this weapon at bridge and then structure" or does it need to be AI functional otherwise

[young jacinth]

Thinking about it again I think Im going to ban splitting outright sorry. Its not really intended.
I hope nobody tried to make a ship like that.

[gray halo]

welp good thing I didnt cus I would have to remake my hole ship

[gilded spindle]

Unfortunate, would have been funny to see a swarm of 50 2 mils fight a 100 mil

or closer to 30 due to the cost involved

[gray halo]

ye but propobly not a good idea for plausis pc

[regal blaze]

what if by totally unforeseen design errors some trls happen to overheat and thus break the ship into multiple pieces

[young jacinth]

Then Ill judge if it was an intentional split

[regal blaze]

ah well

[gray halo]

idk how about you but I aint puting my cockpits near any explosive exep a reactor but only the small one

and my game crashed and I lost all my progress on the ships paint :|

[hard rover]

that's why we ctrl+s every couple seconds

... we don't talk of the consequences though

[gray halo]

I was making a 64 by 64 art too

oh well

[gray halo]

ok so I made 97% arredy and made this new eye thats will be use as a bigger decoration

[burnt dust]

rule was spellt incorrectly, therfor it does not apply
time to build 100mill in fanged fighter swarm

[young jacinth]

Damn guess Ill have to let you explode my pc

[sonic flame]

but it must be cannons

[snow seal]

@young jacinth does splitter mean separating the crs?

[young jacinth]

Yea

[sonic flame]

only one command cluster, or can it split within reason (crescent wrath)?

[regal blaze]

wait so we can split as long as all crs stay on one of the ships?

me has idea

[exotic ginkgo]

to be clear, if we design a split that causes part of the ship to be uncommanded but otherwise self-sustaining, taht's legal, yes?~

@young jacinth

Also, as this is going to be automatched, may we submit more than one ship? Assuming they are significantly different and probably limited to 2/hooman; limiting to 1 per is very understandable tho 😛

[exotic ginkgo]

also, what range will we be starting at?~

[young jacinth]

Yes

[young jacinth]

Yes

[young jacinth]

Far apart

[exotic ginkgo]

as long as all CRs are bridges (except remainder) and connected, all's good?~

ie we can have a line of crs yes?~

[young jacinth]

Yes

[gilded spindle]

Can we give elaborate instructions?

[granite river]

Damn, I hope I don’t uncommandedly saw through the entire hull of my ship because I forgot to not target my own armor to aim my weapons ooooooooopsie :p

[young jacinth]

It depends. Id say in general for the setup yes but not once you are in engagement range

[gilded spindle]

Okay, so I can do something really fantastic

I have an idea, but I do want to know how you'll handle weird situations like it

[gray halo]

so if yal had to say how much of your ship is done (the 100 mil and excluding paint)

[snow seal]

targetting isnt saved? angles are but ff is off

[gray halo]

game crashed again

cus of the "fill" option

[gray halo]

its done

maybe exept the paint but thats for a bit later

[exotic ginkgo]

sidenote; finally, a tournament where MRTs will be prevalent!

[gray halo]

didnt use any

[exotic ginkgo]

#1425944876050288640 message
@young jacinth am not requesting the tournament be movedd, just stating that while i wish to join i might be unable to

[cloud escarp]

my 100mil design is only at 10mil and it's already almost impossible to actually build my ship because of unimaginable lag

I'm on a laptop and my desktop is significantly more powerful but still this is freaking me out lol

simply selecting a crew room and dragging it into the area to build (not placing it) causes a 15 second freeze

I wish I was kidding

[snow seal]

yeah same here

[exotic ginkgo]

I've only started a lil bit on my 100mil and holy heck yea it's laggy

i even made a feedback about it https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1428834481015357552

[gray halo]

ye I already build it and it lagged a lot

I recomand building in schematic mode with time paused and with avoiding placing oc parts (just oc them when your done) and that should help (if not then just build the ship in a fiew parts and when your done just copy one part to the other)

[gray halo]

also 50k turnament today

[young jacinth]

@gray halo vs me

[gray halo]

got it

[young jacinth]

@brisk briar vs @tender root

@bright anchor

@brisk briar vs @desert hornet

[gray halo]

I left faster than you can kick me plaus

also we are still in the artems mach

[desert hornet]

Yea

[gray halo]

so ye delayed as hell

[young jacinth]

@gray halo vs @exotic ginkgo

[gray halo]

idk what artem was cooking but it looks weard

got it

[young jacinth]

@tender root vs @bright anchor

[exotic ginkgo]

@gray halo was hoping you were bringing something else lol

[gray halo]

nah I got really only 2 ships and the sec one is too weak

stream is going close and close to beaning normal

they are still fighting?

idk why but every turnament there is at least 1 railgun kite

how

you know what? Im gona take some kfc cus this takes too long

[exotic ginkgo]

lol

[gray halo]

got it and its STILL GOING?

oh nvm

ye its ok now

the stream

no stream delay no more

wait Im fighting artem next game?

[young jacinth]

@exotic ginkgo @brisk briar

[gray halo]

oh hell no gona try but why me

and I I lose and then win I will fight artem AGAIN and if he loses and then wind I will ALSO FIGHT AGAIN

man

thats a lose lose situation unless he loses 2 times

gona say thow that kfc taists quite good

plays vs max

hehe faster than you plaus

[young jacinth]

@brisk briar vs me

mega vs @bright anchor

@brisk briar @gray halo

@brisk briar vs @bright anchor

[gray halo]

welp artem wins whats a suprize

[desert hornet]

congrats to Artem!

[young jacinth]

I just made my 100mil ship in under 3 hours

speedrun world record

[gray halo]

now paint it

[young jacinth]

already is

all black

[gray halo]

add some pixelart too it

so it at least looks a bit better

[wild horizon]

I thought the tournament started 3 hours later

probably should have checked

[cloud escarp]

How many fps when you’re building it

[young jacinth]

Not a lot, id have to check

[cloud escarp]

Does the game's systems just hate thermals at scale? I'm trying to make my 100m with a big heat system but copy and pasting completely normal sized parts that are like 5x15 cause quite a lot of lag

if I copy a couple of them at once the fps drops to single digits

this feels really weird bc the heat system is crewless

if I copy the cube to the left it slows the game down to 10fps, if I copy the right cube it stays at 60 no problem

wtf is going on D:

[upbeat ridge]

heat is laggy because its hard to calculate all dat connections

[cloud escarp]

other building games handle this fine though

like, Factorio for example won't care if you slam down a colossal pipe setup

neither will any other automation game

[gilded spindle]

Due to how the game is set up, don't quote me but everything gets calculated on the same frame it's placed and causes a massive lag spike

It's the same reason massive ships struggle to load, because it has to place down every single part of the ship at once

[cloud escarp]

What’s odd to me is that specifically heat systems cause this and only heat systems

Like, spamming crew quarters? Go ahead. Hallways? Sure. But a thermal system? Nuh-uh, 1 frame per 5 seconds

[hard rover]

my guess is it's a new system that has yet to be optimised

[desert sky]

Heat is just poorly optimized performance wise

You can see that in the patchnotes

[upbeat ridge]

have you heard of the field of knowledge called graph theory?

so: i think heat pipes are a pretyy big example of this

i think many of the possible optimizations just havent been applied yet

[snow seal]

@young jacinth will collision avoidance be on or off?

for 100mil

[young jacinth]

Off

[gray halo]

I tested my 100mil ship in elimi like 2 days ago (or more) and my game crashed before more than half of my weapons even had a chance to shoot

sooo good luck plaus again

[young jacinth]

I fear that the tourney is gonna have 0 matches actually played out

[gray halo]

ye thats a posibility

[snow seal]

what happens in this case?

[gray halo]

heat death of the plausis computer

[young jacinth]

We all cry because we spent hours building ships we cant even use

[hard rover]

another soul claimed by entropy

[hard rover]

"And Plaus wept, for there were no more tournaments to rig"

[tulip monolith]

i dont if but only for the reason of its alredy built and made to work

[young jacinth]

@ebon coral no sorry, the rules disallow splitting your ship.

[cloud escarp]

Will there be a grand prix this december? It's still ~2 months out from when it occurs, but I was curious

[young jacinth]

@ebon coral please ask questions here. You can see all important info in the announcement #tournament-announcements message

[young jacinth]

Let me leak some secret knowledge
Blaze plans to host another one

[cloud escarp]

yippie!!

[ebon coral]

Thanks

[ebon coral]

That wont work its a masif fllete carier with the back half dedicated to hause al the ships so as good as your idear saunds it wont work for me

[exotic ginkgo]

I thought we can't have intentional cp split, which is different to intentionally causing splitting off a section such that you get your cp section and a non cp section- plz clarify

[young jacinth]

you can intentional split off non controlled parts

[young jacinth]

@tender root #1423646379217256519 message yea if Ill be able to record it

[tender root]

Cool

You could time-lapse it if it's too laggy ig

[surreal pecan]

Wait wait 100mil tourney? Sign me up! I'll shave 1 million off Chronos and it's crisp!

||I hope Fusion will be fine since basically 80% of the ship is his at this point||

[young jacinth]

I wondered if I should ping you since you and fusion made atlas for example

[surreal pecan]

Yee true

Oh Atlas is a good idea!

[young jacinth]

I used it to test the feasibility of this event. (the results were kinda inconclusive)

[snow seal]

what is atlas and chronos?

[tender root]

very big ships

[tulip monolith]

Guess I should finish my ships paint

[surreal pecan]

Me and Fusion's (mostly his) colossi

[cloud escarp]

I really, really wanted to make a 100M TRL tital especially because it's the perfect kind of weapon for such a massive hull

but unfortunately when heat systems get too big they lag the build editor so badly the game drops to under 1 fps >:(

[snow seal]

where can i look?

[tender root]

has everyone submitted their ships? It shouldn't be an issue at all but I still don't wanna post them if they haven't

I'll just DM them to you ig

Since you've submitted your ship already

[tulip monolith]

realiseing i forgot to post Ebon Hawk's file

I submitted the pitstop but made some changes post submission

the radiator shooting a jet forward really bothered me, and there were a bunch of internal things I messed up with that had to be fixed

[gray halo]

wrong chat bud this is turnament chat

the design contest chat is here https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1059084974655033415

[desert sky]

Y'all really does not like aesthetical ships in your sweaty pvp environment

[gray halo]

nah this ship is just a storage ship and thows are not really usefull in pvp

[cloud escarp]

I mean grant sent his design that’s why I sent mine

[gray halo]

ah

[cloud escarp]

If I'd like to host a tournament/event what's the process to hosting one? Do I need to show someone the rules draft? Do I just ask politely?

[tender root]

i might try to host an elimination tournament after i finish exams

with a ban on alpha ships because they ruin it

[desert sky]

Ask politely! Send a DM to a moderator, make them post your thing in #events or ask for the role to post in #tournament-announcements
Hell Blakebatponey got his past official host status by kindly asking Walt in ask-walt. We're chill

[sonic flame]

imagine if power storages started empty and processed resources were erased

[brisk briar]

@young jacinth

[gray halo]

you need to post it in the zip format in plausis dms

also I think the time for it is over but i aint sure

[wild horizon]

i gave plaus mine right now

probably cant wait much longer though

[burnt dust]

o ye i wonder how the new oc rails are gonna crash work at this budget

[wild horizon]

yeah im doing a test right now and it froze the moment rails hit

it was really slow before but now its a frame every few minutes

[snow seal]

yippee i can't load it in

oh my god

why no reactors at the front shields??

oh some reactors

u forgot to turn on the shields? @brisk briar

[snow seal]

hmmm...

-# does anyone know why not all cores are running?

[brisk briar]

its alpha, so the shiekds are turned off until the fight starts

[brisk briar]

It was too big for dms

[young jacinth]

Also have ossues like that. I think cosmoteer has issues utilizing the full cpu

[young jacinth]

@quaint hound If you hurry up I guess. I plan to do a fight per day

[gray halo]

Huh

[hard rover]

honestly wasn't too bad to load in

it did like 50x time to autosave tho

[brisk briar]

@young jacinth this should work now

[gray halo]

looking at this idk if I went too litle on the main weapon or too much

[brisk briar]

Idk, but I know I certainly spent too much on weapons

[gray halo]

ye and your ship is a bit smaller than mine

[brisk briar]

Denser

[gray halo]

and the railgun will probably work like a shotgun on yours cus of the block of cheese in front of it

@young jacinth can I update my ship?

cus the flak change broke it a bit

[young jacinth]

You cant switch your setup cause you saw fishes ship lol

[gray halo]

oh got it

[young jacinth]

@snow seal Actually the very first match ended in a stalemate xD

Its due to missing supply lines though so in this case I just allowed the person in question to fix it

but I can only pray we dont get a real stalemate

But at least we now know that its actually possible to do these fights

It took 2 hours to record up to the point where ammo ran out

[gray halo]

Oh welp that may be a problem

[snow seal]

like what if 1 ship loses thrust but the other runs out of ammo

[young jacinth]

That just wont happen

Trust

[earnest cypress]

can we know how many are in the 100 mil tournament.

[young jacinth]

6 or 7 depending on if that one guy submits in time

[desert sky]

Are you able to keep up with casting and entertainment during the match

[young jacinth]

Im not casting those 0.2 frame per second fights lol

Ill talk a bit about the fights after the fact

But the fights themselves Ill mostly record by leaving my pc on over night or if there is an opportunity during the day

[wild horizon]

How many fights have you done so far

[snow seal]

voiceover?

[young jacinth]

None

[young jacinth]

Yes

[young jacinth]

@quaint hound you have 12 more hours to finish your ship

[young jacinth]

istance

[snow seal]

[young jacinth]

Huh I think I accidentally typed here isntead of the search bar

[snow seal]

😰 did he submit?

[young jacinth]

No

[young jacinth]

@earnest cypress @brisk briar @snow seal @wild horizon @ebon coral I have finished the first fight, but it ended in a draw. I wanted to make announcement but wanted to upload a conclusive match before so I started the second fight and it also ended in a draw.
Both matches were also pretty scuffed in that I had to manually guide the ai multiple times so that the fight could continue. So yea this tournament is super scuffed and I apologize for that.
I have decided, that we will just hold a vote on who did more damage in case of a draw. Players are also allowed to fix flaws in ships between matches, as long as the adjustments are minor (crew roles, assignments, attack default,...)
So here are the first 2 ships from the fight from Lets_Fish vs Dragoncat, vote who should receive the victory.
Lets_Fish took some front damage and rails lost power, while Drogoncat lost the majority of his weapons and has some deep cuts in the armor:

Also here is the vote for the result of the second match where the ships barely even fought:
Chyve took some damage on the structure cage and kingnoah is unharmed expect for his 2 center railguns which overheated.

Oh and what I forgot to mention: The fights are taking really long to record and there are more participants than I expected (I basically have to let my pc run over night to record the fights)
For this reason I decided to do a single elimination bracket instead of the announced round robin. This is bound to cause some rough matchups where one ship hard counters the other, but I do not wanna keep recording those matches till next year lol, Im sorry

The bracket: https://challonge.com/wek8i23l

[brisk briar]

Whats the extent of minor adjustements? The rail losing power was because of two missing corridor tiles. I fixed it in the latest submission (alongside crew assignments), is that fine?

[snow seal]

round robin would have 21 matches
then u can ignore draws with 0-0 score

ohwell..

also the railguns overheating should have been tested...

could u atleast do double elim?

whats the repair bill for noah vs me? i think just pick which is higher

[young jacinth]

Yes thats fine. Didnt adjust it for your first fight though

[young jacinth]

that would be 3x the matches

[young jacinth]

No, but if you really want you or someone else could do the losers bracket. It would have to be recorded of course.

[young jacinth]

If the others are okay with it we can also jsut do that

[brisk briar]

I think repair cost as a deciding factor oversimplifies the damage a little bit too much. For Example, there is a major difference between losing 10k worth of armour and a single prism redirecting the damage of 100s of Ion Beams (Biased bcs my armour is very expensive). If voting doesnt work well though I suppose it is a fine alternative.

[gray halo]

welp my ship will be shown last unless your lucky and saw it before

[snow seal]

then i should win against kingnoah bc structure is inconsequential compared to railguns

[gray halo]

also looking at thows corpess I think I went too much close damage and too litle long rage damage but I may still be ok

[snow seal]

thows corpess????

[gray halo]

the left overs or watever you want to call them

[sonic flame]

the crew of thows had very packed crew and a lot of ammunition stored, and when all of em were forced out not by a simple hull breach, but the whole hull vanishing save a few steel bars of structure, one could only be brought to say "look at thows corpess", for it was not plural, but a big blob of corpses
i only noticed corpess after writing half of this

[earnest cypress]

I honestly didn't expect tje railguns to be so wide.

[brisk briar]

It might be helpful to see the ships undamaged to better judge the damage

[gray halo]

ye

[gray halo]

also I think I went too litle on the deffense

[snow seal]

this statement contradicts ur vote

[brisk briar]

It doesn't

[wild horizon]

I agree with chyve here

[snow seal]

you say there is a difference between losing armor and the ability to use an ion core

in the "fight" between kingnoah and i, kingnoah had his rails burndown and i took damage to my structure cage

idk what the $ repair for each of us is but one is functional and the other is not

[burnt dust]

u didnt even deal damage tho, noah at least did somthing

[snow seal]

yeah ik, i'm just saying that letsfish's statement is undermined by how they voted

i built my ship under the assumption that it was going to be round robin

[brisk briar]

Ah I see what you mean. The difference between losing armour and and a prism was just supposed to be an example for how repair cost can wrongly judge the outcome of a battle. In your fight, I voted for the ship with railguns, despite the higher repair cost. Even if it has a malfunction (that can probably be fixed easily), it was at least able to deal damage, which is why I estimated it to be more functional than your ship, which seemed to be unable to deal any damage in this matchup. It is a very difficult vote imo, but I can't vote for a draw because of the tournament style.

[brisk briar]

RR would probably have ended in 21 draws tbf

[cloud escarp]

What would y'all think about a tournament where everyone has 10 minutes to build 100,000 credits worth of a ship, then that ship is passed to another person anonymously to build another 100,000 credits, repeat 4-5 times over an hour? Like Gartic Phone but for Cosmoteer basically, then the designs fight in the arena mode to see which wins. Would anyone be interested in participating in something like that?

[tulip monolith]

that does sound like it could be fun

[burnt dust]

yeee

[cloud escarp]

I was thinking of calling it "cosmic phone"

[gray halo]

good idea

[cloud escarp]

it's not entirely mine, it's an adaptation of this: https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1435480666639827055

[burnt dust]

hey look I'm famous

[gray halo]

a

[young jacinth]

Definitely very fun idea. Probably not a tournament though since its more of a casual format

[cloud escarp]

well, I imagine the tournment part comes from making the designs fight in arena mode (on auto) for multiple rounds, and the "winner" is the 4 or 5 people who put a ship together lol

[regal blaze]

when fighting, each person should control each ship for 10 seconds and then switch

[cloud escarp]

that would be evil

[regal blaze]

...but fun... right?

[cloud escarp]

hm...

the thing is, I suspect people will already be quite burnt out after 5 rounds of rapid building

I don't wanna then ask them to pilot right away lol

[regal blaze]

yeah

that's fair

idk

[burnt dust]

instead make all of them pilot at once and control the parts via hotkeys obv

[exotic ginkgo]

Ok i get to comtrol the w key, o key, j, m, 3, f8, and capslock

my fault

[cloud escarp]

Generally how available would y’all be for an event next Saturday (Nov 29)? Thinking of hosting the aforementioned event but ik it’s a busy time for anyone at university lol

[cloud escarp]

Actually yk what let's make it a poll lol

React below with the time(s) you would be available for about 2hrs uninterrupted (if you are interested in "Cosmic Phone")
Time A: <t:1764417600:s>
Time B: <t:1764432000:s>
Time C: <t:1764446400:s>
Time D: <t:1765022400:s>
Time E: <t:1765036800:s>
Time F: <t:1765051200:s>
Time G: Some other time (feel free to suggest)

[cloud escarp]

Alright, looks like it’ll be time B (sorry biggles and grant)

I’ll post the tournament & rules later today
(outlining this is taking longer than expected, will post the rules later sunday instead.)

[snow seal]

aw..

[cloud escarp]

sorry ;-;

[cloud escarp]

Alright, Cosmic Phone tournament is announced! It took a lot more rules writing than I expected to hold it together but hopefully it'll play as intended lol. Lmk if you have any thoughts.

[desert sky]

Okay google, set a reminder.

[desert sky]

The graphics looks soooooo coooool

But it might just be me but I struggle greatly to understand what is going on in the GIF

There's author A B C D but sometimes more ships than players and I can see author E and F

The rules are well written also

[cloud escarp]

Thanks! And I should've added but the gif also implies authors E and F who are out of frame

tbh I prolly should have added them, ig I just wanted to convey that there'll be four rounds and not "everyone edits the same ship at least once"

also good to know about the rules, bc there is so much to convey ;-;

[desert sky]

What I need to know and I guess it's better to ask is do every player participate to each round? (on different ships)

[cloud escarp]

yeah, every round you'll be building a ship

on round one you start the design, then rounds 2-4 you add to an existing design

[desert sky]

I hope there will be a voicechat and I wonder how everyone is going to keep their anonymous

I never played a game of gartic phone

[cloud escarp]

I'll be hosting, and others are welcome to come cast during the second phase (showcase and tournament). although tbh, I've never ran a tournament also casting other people in a Discord call and idk how it'd go especially since I am not gonna be casting on my main computer, instead a laptop, which is much slower

I guess the first phase could be "hosted" completely on discord, the second on youtube, but that won't really be feasible I don't think

[desert sky]

I never did tournament casting 😅

When you say others are welcome to cast you mean participants or other tournament host?

[young jacinth]

Id love to join you

[cloud escarp]

Sure thing :) I’ll be stress testing my laptop in prep for the event a couple days prior so I’ll let you know if I can have discord running in tandem

(My laptop isn’t too strong..)

[cloud escarp]

a lot of people are signing up... it's going to be so stressful cycling the ships between people lol I'm so glad I made a spreadsheet for this

[desert sky]

If you thought so many people wouldn't sign up for such a fun idea you'd be wrong 😄

[cloud escarp]

I guess!

[tulip monolith]

-# asume minimum is 10 most of the time

[desert sky]

It just got better!

@cloud escarp What do you mean do not edit authors until round 4?

[cloud escarp]

Idk a better way to put it, but you dont need to edit the authors either

I just didn’t want an already long piece of text to be even longer to specify no editing authors

[desert sky]

Ah I thought you made a mistake adding that rule

And removing what was originally asking to add your (codename) author name

[burnt dust]

how long will the building part of cosmic phone be in total/ when is it expected to end?

[cloud escarp]

Well, here’s the timeline from the rules doc, which will be pretty accurate

I don’t know how long it will actually take to rotate the ships between everyone, but I’m hoping that everyone can quickly send them to me so the process can happen in under 5m

[burnt dust]

yee oki thx

[cloud escarp]

Cosmic phone tomorrow

[gray halo]

ye

[burnt dust]

yee

[regal blaze]

yeee

[gray halo]

so I won?

also no idea how the hell did the thrust burned but propobly forgot fire extinguishers

ok I though about it and looking at this it looks like my ship will in evennshaly cus the trl still have a trl boost (the 6 big reactor thing at the bottom on both sides) and it can still shoot and the fact that it cant move isnt a problem cus lets fishes ship is still moving and ramming my ship so the hole thing will fall unless the trl dont have enough range and if the missiles get in range it will still not be enough to stop my ship cus it will propobly hit the sides or the midle and maybe there own ship (and if somehow they get close enough to hit my cockpit I still have thows flaks but there is only on 1 side so it may hit but unless its many nukes it should be ok and my ship should survive it) and they are limited and also the cockpit count

[young jacinth]

no you gotta vote

[gray halo]

were

[young jacinth]

on the announcemnt

[gray halo]

a

[young jacinth]

just like last time

[gray halo]

got it

[burnt dust]

wait didn't i send a ship

[gray halo]

idk

[young jacinth]

Yea youre right. Im very sorry. I guess what I could do is reverse the latest fight and have you go up against mega

I feel I need a better signup list. The discord threads always get crowded with unrelated stuff

[desert sky]

Blake is the only person with the ability to edit tournament threads messages

I believe if we had someone else with that power we would greatly benefit

[young jacinth]

Interesting, I thought only moderators could do that

[gilded spindle]

That is why I always got people to move, it's a nightmare to deal with

[young jacinth]

I tried, but they keep doing it :(
You have it good, you can just delete those messages

[gilded spindle]

If it's that terribly bad, you can ping a mod and ask for some help cleaning the thread

[young jacinth]

Ty but I dont wanna ping the mods for one or 2 messages

[exotic ginkgo]

you can consider
-a thread dedicated to a particular tournament's chat (unlike the usual "use tournament chat" cause that feels weird)
-asking a mod to enable a very lorge slowmode on the signup thread (assuming that you can do that without affecting other threads - unsure about this)
-add specific penalties for using signup as discussion (idk what penalties, maybe "you lose ties" or "you won't be allowed to be in a skip-round position in the bracket"?~)
-specify exactly how ppl must sign up ("sign up by copy pasting this message: <>. If you need to leave the tournament, delete this msg" - then you search in:channel <> to see everyone who posted the msg and therefore is signed up with minimal extra hits)

[burnt dust]

-leak the bank info of people who are deemed "annoying", "infuriating", or "too not gay"

[exotic ginkgo]

signup must include bank details; not following the rules has a 5% chance of releasing your bank details per infraction

[gray halo]

welp I lost in the first round :|

sooo when will be the next one? (maybe not 100mil but like 25mil or smth)

[young jacinth]

Im not doing anything like that in the near future again lol

[burnt dust]

4 credit tourny

[gray halo]

maybe smth like 15 by 15 turnament? (like unlimited money but limited space)

[burnt dust]

oo ye

1mill by 1mill

[young jacinth]

Sure I have not done that before

[gray halo]

cosmoted was trying to do that (I think and 10 by 10) but it didnt start cus everyone forgot about it

[snow seal]

😮‍💨still wish it were round robin..

are the ships gonna be posted?

did i really get seeded against the 1 ship that doesnt have thrusters??

[young jacinth]

Oh yea I could do that

[young jacinth]

Yea super sorry, seeding was random. My offer that you do the "rest" of the matches stll stands btw

[desert sky]

You make me think about it, @young jacinth as the creator of any thread you can edit proprities and add a slow mode yourself

[young jacinth]

I think that doesnt work for forum posts though. And slowmode alone wont fix the issue

[desert sky]

I would say verify it first because I learnt of this using forum posts threads indeed

[exotic ginkgo]

And slowmoding can be (1) a reminder at the bottom of the screen that this is signup and (2) make ppl effectively unable to have conversations with any ease

[open crest]

how am I supposed to get on my computer right next to midnight on a school night

that would ruin my sleep schedule and make it so I miss part of school

[open crest]

thank you for listening ❤️

[desert sky]

We will race through the same circuits once again? 😞

That will be without me

[young jacinth]

Well nobody built new ones

[gray halo]

I will make if I dont forget

ok gona say this making a ship made for just speed was a bit easy (it can turn quite well too)

[quick kelp]

@young jacinth out of curiosity, are tractor beams considered weapons for the purposes of the grand prix?

[brisk briar]

Are the tracks available somewhere?

[young jacinth]

No so I guess you can use them, but you cant focus on a player according to the rules

[quick kelp]

noted

i probably won't participate (it's at 5am), i just wanted to clarify if it was or not

[young jacinth]

Over at battleship brawlers but I can post it here too

[brisk briar]

ty

[regal blaze]

@young jacinth this is extremely unrelated to the tournament but how do you make viewers anonymous on a google doc

[young jacinth]

no idea. Google docs is black magic to me. I avoid it whenever possible

[regal blaze]

huh

who made the rules doc then

that's why i asked

[desert sky]

I made rules doc, not this one but my several design and paint contests

if you set share the document with anyone with the link, and make them reader, then they are automatically anonymous

Only the owner of the document (the one that has it stored on their drive) and all editors are shown and only when they are also viewing the document

[gray halo]

ok nvm it aint working at all its too fast and rotatest too slow

[open crest]

for grand prix do we build only one ship or more than one

[burnt dust]

does the exclusion zone/selection area of the radiator count for the 20x20 size, or is it based on the rad's hitbox instead

[flint pebble]

This is a thruster arc, right?

[burnt dust]

thats the exlusion zone and isnt counted in the 20x20 area

this is the cone, which does have to fit

[flint pebble]

oohhhhhh

thx

[burnt dust]

yee

[flint pebble]

can i add multiple layers of paint, so long as all layers are different shades of the same color?

[burnt dust]

idk, im not one of the hosts

[flint pebble]

k

like this

[burnt dust]

what exactly does this mean?

is it specifically the creative option to self destruct any part?

are explosive charges allowed?

if a section of my ship were to overheat and explode due to a technical mishap and sever the ship in half is that allowed?

is it just "u cant split in any way by any means"?

[flint pebble]

explosive charges

and manually destroying parts to make yourself faster

if something explodes by accident, thats fine

you can't split your ship in two on purpose

[cloud escarp]

@young jacinth wait, what time will the grand prix be at? I'm in a timezone adjacent to EST

[short tartan]

I may build a new one idk

[burnt dust]

the time in the second picture auto corrects to ur timezone

[cloud escarp]

yeah but the doc said 11th of january EST

and I live basically 1hr ahead of EST, but for me it says jan 10th

[burnt dust]

o

idk

[cloud escarp]

yeah..

I won't be able to participate if it's jan 11, which really sucks bc I love the grand prix lol

[young jacinth]

Oh yea sorry its on the 10th

I adjusted the doc, hope its right now

[open crest]

I just came up with something so devious but it might be able to do the Grand Prix

think of an overclocked ball of thrusters (it follows all rules)

[tender root]

car

once again, fuck my stupid australian time zone

KITR

[gray halo]

ok looking at this maybe making a mrt cube with small thrust for rotation wasnt a good idea

[tender root]

lmao

[short tartan]

this is incredible

sotd worthy

[tender root]

ty

[gray halo]

welp my ships turn too fast and Idk how to controll a ship in "point to mouse" so ye thats a problem

[hard rover]

the humble sideways boost thruster:

[gray halo]

I used 2 mrts and 2 boosts and 2 huge and all of them had the same problem

as the main thrust

and the only ship that didnt do that was a all not oc small thust ship with 2 normal thrust all powered by 1 reactor and 6 duds

ok I found the perfect thrust

yep its perfect (atleast for wsadqe only movement)

[snow seal]

aw i cant..

well maybe, but i would be at the airport..

[flint pebble]

nice

[zenith current]

Iirc so long as the primary color is one of the four available you should be fine

I believe one of my ships last year had grey/white accents

[zenith current]

I may have a few if you want to check them out

[young jacinth]

Sure

[zenith current]

do you want me to dm them to you or post them here

[young jacinth]

Whatever you like

[snow seal]

@young jacinth radiator cones dont have hitboxes unlike thruster cones.. can they jut out?

[snow seal]

also if theres no weapons should we have invulnerability on so radiators cant be used as weapons?

[tulip monolith]

Chive, this

[snow seal]

@tulip monolith

i'm asking that question

[young jacinth]

The exhaust? Yea of course

[young jacinth]

Oh yea I planed to mod the damage out. Thats probably the best solution?

[young jacinth]

Oh sorry I somehow missed those questions. Its the hitbox

[burnt dust]

yee oki

[young jacinth]

Neither is allowed. I guess I should adjust the rules, so that you just can not deal damage.
Your ship can overheat as long as its not intentional.

[snow seal]

oh nvm that nullifies any consequence of overheating

[young jacinth]

yea should put that in the announcement

[white apex]

why not just make radiators not apply to enemy

[young jacinth]

Cause that would still require people to switch teams and there is no functional difference

[white apex]

there is a difference, people can oc thrust and burn out for extra speed intentionally

[young jacinth]

Wdym with burn out?

[white apex]

like oc boost that heats up

[young jacinth]

I dont get it

The radiation damage and ship speed are not correlated

[snow seal]

air means at the end of the race u can let the oc boost ramp up heat gen so much that u will die, but cross the finish line before that

[young jacinth]

That also has nothing to do with the damage behaviour of radiators?

[snow seal]

yeah i think they were responding to the last part of this message

[young jacinth]

That doesnt make sense either, as its not related to raditor damage either

[snow seal]

ohh, yeah thats the point

[snow seal]

holy shit i got an mrt ship to be perfectly balanced

[white apex]

i thought you were removing heat damage

[young jacinth]

I am

[white apex]

but why

you can just remove radiator applying heat to enemies

[young jacinth]

Thats what Im asking you and why I wrote a dozen pointless messages trying to figure out how that would be different from removing damage to all ships

[white apex]

because i think intentionally melting yourself might lead to interesting tactics

[young jacinth]

There isnt a single use case I could think of

[cloud escarp]

Detaching a pretasked crew barracks lol

You’d have to fire the oc boost thrusters at the right time but you could use them to generate a shit ton of heat allowing it to melt

[young jacinth]

Radiators dont produce heat and therefore cant seperate anything

[snow seal]

melting yourself via overheating parts, not via radiator damage

[young jacinth]

Thats not a use case of radiator heat damage

[snow seal]

heat damage != radiator damage
the whole misunderstanding is because we are asking to see if overheating is a viable strategy or not

we are trying to see if you can use heat management as a strategy; one that completely is unrelated to using radiators as the source of damage.
it's just that the solution to radiator damage might end up making it irrelevant to use heat management as a strategy

[young jacinth]

Ah I see now

[young jacinth]

This is the bracket, but I guess Ill probably need to change it since not everyone showed up yet...

[brisk briar]

do I have to use the same ship for all rounds?

[young jacinth]

no

but you can only use the unes you sent me

[zenith current]

if it makes things easier, my display name is upside down (bys)

[young jacinth]

and you cant modify them in between rounds

[brisk briar]

So i send you all the ships I want to use

[young jacinth]

yea

[brisk briar]

ok

[snow seal]

is it just 3 races?

[young jacinth]

no there will also be a losers bracket

well this is the new bracket

[zenith current]

I assume only first place will move on and the rest will go to losers, or will it be the other way around?

[desert sky]

Good luck to everyone

[open crest]

second place

second and first i think

go to winner

[young jacinth]

The best 2 will move on

the loser moves to the losers bracket

[burnt dust]

@young jacinth this isnt on workshop

you cant find it but the link works

[snow seal]

aw shit transparency

[burnt dust]

gaming

[snow seal]

is the blue 2? or 4?

blue and red combined*?

[young jacinth]

its 2

[snow seal]

so blue has 2 ppl and 1 moves on?

[young jacinth]

2 move on

[snow seal]

then ? is 3? (2 from 4 above and 1 from blue?)

[young jacinth]

its 4

how did blaze handle the finale again?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3642202082

so this?

both 3ppl matches have:
2 move to winner
1 moves to lower

then winner has:
2 move to final
2 move to loser

then loser has
2 move to final
2 elimed

and finals is final?

[young jacinth]

To finish my artistic masterpiece:

[snow seal]

anyone wanna paint the red one?
but i wanna be the one to post in casualships-wordleior

👉👈

[zenith current]

I'll give it a shot later

[gilded spindle]

Congrats!

[brisk briar]

weve all been scammed

[young jacinth]

too lazy

[brisk briar]

literally unplayable

[zenith current]

permission to potentially make a sotd post with the final product?

[snow seal]

ye, tag me

oh lowkey would be sick to have it crossing finishline

and then u can include the 2mrt one also

[brisk briar]

im gonna try as well hold on

[snow seal]

then also send to me and i'll put in #casualships in wordleior

[brisk briar]

done

[snow seal]

lol

needs a planet

and make it diagonal

#general ?

[hard rover]

i can try rn, do i just do any style?

[snow seal]

anything u want :)

[snow seal]

hmm maybe something nascar inspired

[hard rover]

since i'm someone who doesn't watch and doesn't know much about nascar i have no clue what to go for would you happen to have reference images?

[snow seal]

google

[hard rover]

tried that but it isn't helping as from what i've seen unless i lock in on cars with mcdonald advertising, styles seem to be very varied

but hm i think i have an idea

[zenith current]

Get like 10 of us to paint liveries and post a pic of all of them racing for sotd

[hard rover]

nvm i didn't have an idea i just copied one of my other ships

[snow seal]

not specific advertisements but just the idea of being plastered with them

[snow seal]

hmm maybe swap black/white

[hard rover]

here

[snow seal]

oops outline

[hard rover]

oh right gimme a sec

there

[tulip monolith]

I could paint it when I get home in 7 ish jours

[hard rover]

sphe co. stocks 📈

[zenith current]

Real talk everyone paint this ship and I'll make an sotd post with all of the variants

[surreal pecan]

Fact: Sphe co filed for bankruptcy years ago, after the Accipiter clan raided their coffers.

[zenith current]

question about the unbalance mod: is the ht thrust+ramp completely random or chosen from a list of preset values?

[young jacinth]

its from a list of like 8 values

the ramp is always the same

[zenith current]

got it, thx

[gray halo]

man its hapining again a ship that I made to use the mods feacher is weaker than a ship I made for normal game

and also I somehow made a ramer into a kite again

man idk what Im doing man

[gray halo]

10min left

f Im a day early

[cloud escarp]

is the unbalance mod really laggy for anyone else?

I'm in a mostly empty save running some tests and somehow when unpausing my fps goes down from 120 to 45

oh wait. it's because missiles don't fucking despawn

so as I fire them off they're just filling up in the void slowly choking the game

god dammit

good to know though lmao

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[gray halo]

man why is it always me

ye but why did I die first 3 times in a row

[cloud escarp]

ngl this mod is absolutely devious lol

lets fish's nuke flinger terrifies me

[gray halo]

my huge shealds ship was made to survive it cus its large shealds

it explodes outsides the range of the ship

[cloud escarp]

the bubble shields are great, they are kinda countered by missile spam though

[zenith current]

this just in, miku miku beam counters minesweeper

[gray halo]

ye and I though it would be the counter for missiles

at least it can stop a nuke

also after my loss I bouiled 3 diffrind ships to counter the trl ship

and I didnt have a chance to use ANY

[young jacinth]

@oak linden @brisk briar

[zenith current]

we had a good run

[gray halo]

ye

and large shealds did beat nukes just now

also Im hosting unbalanced if any one wants to train or do smth after they lost

ye no one is joining

canceled

[young jacinth]

@oak linden @burnt dust

@burnt dust @brisk briar

[oak linden]

[cloud escarp]

[burnt dust]

[brisk briar]

I didn't get my losers bracket :(

[zenith current]

ggs

[brisk briar]

could have memed harder

[young jacinth]

I never do those for the finalist. I forgot to remove that field from the bracket though, sorry about that

[cloud escarp]

what would y'all think of a racing event that's more like a relay race, where you race around an area filled with obstacles and your goal is to cross a few gates?

[zenith current]

I think I've played with the idea in my head and I'd like it

[snow seal]

anything racing idea can be fun

[tender root]

curse my stupid time zone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that looked like so much fun 😔

[young jacinth]

Ill try to host the next one at a better time for you

[tender root]

3am is probably the latest i can go

[wild horizon]

i wish my brother wasnt attacking me the whole time

[tender root]

Plaus paid him

To distract you

[wild horizon]

Plaus how could you do this

[open crest]

me humbly improving my painting in the background while also having to wait months for a new ship drive

[cloud escarp]

Y’all reckon it’s too late to announce a tournament that would be on the 28th?

I had an idea but kind of forgot to turn it into a full event and now this particular weekend I had in mind may not be long for this world

Actually let’s just make it another poll.

This is a poll for an upcoming grand prix-like tournament with some twists (you would have to make a small, but specialized design). React below if you could participate in a ~2hr event uninterrupted on:
Time A: <t:1772280000:s>
Time B: <t:1772294400:s>
Time C: <t:1772308800:s>
Time D: <t:1772884800:s>
Time E: <t:1772899200:s>
Time F: <t:1772913600:s>
Time G: other (suggest)

[desert sky]

Somehow can make it to all 6!!

[gray halo]

sadly I can only B and E and MAYBE C and F if they last less than 1h and its not 100% that I will be able so ye

[cloud escarp]

scheduling be hard :T

at least you're on E, which seems to be the most popular slot right now!

[snow seal]

not february for me

also u share the build requirements? i might not have much time to build during the week before

[cloud escarp]

I'm gonna draft up the event sometime this weekend

I've got other stuff going on rn so my time has been rather limited :T the week prior time time E will be way lighter but I'll do my best to get the event anno out before that

[snow seal]

atleast a size?

[cloud escarp]

25x25 maybe?

I want to use similar dimensions to the racing competition ships

[snow seal]

the 2025 grand prix was 20x20

the year before was 25x25

2023 was 15x15

in 2019 there was one.. i cant find anything and idk what tracks were, but it was 12x12

[snow seal]

sooo?

[cloud escarp]

I'm very sorry but the announcement detailing the rules will be over the week
