design contest chat

[past bramble]

yea the redbar

[toxic ocean]

Who the heck you ar-

Oh my it's Fusion again.

But it's the centre piece!

It's a FUCKING CROWBAR-

[stiff sandal]

I know

[past bramble]

for jack hammer i dont like the shape

[stiff sandal]

It just stands out like a sore thumb. Rest of it is good tho

[past bramble]

yeah paint of crowbar is pretty good

but red bar thing

[toxic ocean]

There's a word in Georgian to perfectly describe the feeling I felt when designing its shape.

Very close to passionate.

I was so proud of the way it turned out

[past bramble]

it looks like a middle finger

i cannot take it seriously because of that lol

[toxic ocean]

:agony:

I hate you kine.

[normal kite]

it’s got no fades on it too

[toxic ocean]

What do you mean.

Have you even looked on the ship.

[normal kite]

these

[toxic ocean]

Which ''these.''

[normal kite]

also I thought we were talking about the one with a red side

[past bramble]

crowbar

[toxic ocean]

Yeah because that one looks a crap ton like a jackhammer

[lapis niche]

Yknow, these

"haha" aside, I thought yours were pretty neat, I liked powerdrill.

You have a lot of interesting shapes

[toxic ocean]

Thanks.

Yours was great too, I personally voted for Obama

WHAT

Autofill?!

Are you okay?

[wispy vigil]

It is just a circle, with a protruding line

[toxic ocean]

I meant, I personally voted for Flare as well.

[wispy vigil]

Even here, your american politics seep into

[toxic ocean]

Who did you vore for Immortal?

*vote

I hate mobile

[wispy vigil]

I will not state who I had voted for, but I do guarantee this, it was not you

[toxic ocean]

Okie 👌

[bronze citrus]

Orbamma

[toxic ocean]

Obamna prism

[wispy vigil]

I wonder who is running for president in each of the cosmoteer factions

[toxic ocean]

Lol that's a good question.

But Impperium is probably having an emperor or some other leader like that.

Cabal is having a religious leader most likely.

[wispy vigil]

That's a megalithic tomb if I say so

[toxic ocean]

And Flinge - no idea.

[bronze citrus]

Isnt imperium a democracy?

[wispy vigil]

You forget about the CEO of the monopoly

[toxic ocean]

Mono seem like the guys who'd have a present most likely.

Yeah

[bronze citrus]

I feel like imperium would be a fascist democratic state

[toxic ocean]

Yeah you're right, I kinda almost forgot the lore but I remember something about it being controlled by the people? Still they'd need a leader and not sure it'll be something like a president.

[toxic ocean]

Hmm one of the ideas ever.

[tired vapor]

y r u typing vore so much :rockeyebrow:

[toxic ocean]

T and r are next to each ohter. Also mobile moment.

Still though.

🤨

[bronze citrus]

Ever watched starship troopers?

[toxic ocean]

Yeah, I've watched the original movie twice I think, but I remember it very very vaguely. I was like 8 when I watched it.

Very long time ago.

All I remember is that it was one of my fav movies back then.

[bronze citrus]

Its a critique of fascism and militarism, and the governmental system they use is a form of fascist democracy

[toxic ocean]

Together with the second Terminator.

[toxic ocean]

I certainly don't remember THAT plot point

[bronze citrus]

Its both a fun movie and also an effective critique of the concepts that the book tried to push. Which is cool.

[toxic ocean]

Lol

Anyways this is drifting into off topic REAL FAST.

[bronze citrus]

Mmhm

[toxic ocean]

I need to go anyway see ya.

[lapis niche]

😆

[mortal cave]

Most of them don't have presidents in their political structures

[lapis niche]

Yeah, I don't recall making an obama-shaped craft lol

[toxic ocean]

xd

[wispy vigil]

For the next design contest, We've got to get someone to make one

[desert trail]

il do it just remind me to

[oak plaza]

I really dont know what to say...
I wish my ships could still have their own color scheme but if I do want it to fit more in the fringe, I color swapped it like these...

Which is better...

keeping in theme, My last contest ships with Fringe colors...

[past bramble]

Try muting the red

[oak plaza]

How to do that...

[past bramble]

Like make it look like old paint that has been baking in the sun for 40 years

[oak plaza]

The thing is bro...
I dont know how to do that...
hahahaha

There is some Fringe that isnt broken paint though so Im going to bet to fit on those...

[past bramble]

can u send me one of them

both fringe and scrapyard colorscheme

[oak plaza]

I dont wanna save it in my ship library the non Scrapyard colored ships so Ill just send you the whole save...

Here you go...

[oak plaza]

This Looks good...

so you could just save the paint scheme then load it to the other ships right...?

[past bramble]

this is the red i use

9E3830

just play around with the color wheel until it looks right

[oak plaza]

I really dont know how to do it...
hahahaha...
you make it sound so easy...

[past bramble]

i literally move this thing all over the place until i get a color i somewhat like and slowly tweak it

go left and it will desaturate the color and go down it will make it dark

if you want a specific color u can just google the value

here is the ship i changed the colors

so u can save the scheme

[oak plaza]

Thanks...

[oak plaza]

Looks rustic...

[vernal lance]

nic

[oak plaza]

Here is the Rustic Series then...

[past bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/noice-nice-click-gif-8843762

[oak plaza]

All thanks to you...

[past bramble]

now your fringe still has a hint of red

[oak plaza]

Thanks Dude, I appreciate it...

[past bramble]

i also made this more bleached color

doesnt look as good

still works

[oak plaza]

Im going to fix this to make the skull more prevelent...

[past bramble]

this is the bleached one if you want to try it

this one does look like it has been sitting on the moon for a while

[oak plaza]

Is the skull seen now...?

[oak plaza]

this looks good but the problem now I have is the skull...

[past bramble]

its a bit better

[oak plaza]

Here is my final tweak of it...

[past bramble]

your older ships do alot better with the bleach

the newer one cannot use the bleach

i should swap the red with the other one

[oak plaza]

Will do, but for now lets wait for the Architects first...

I dont wanna change the colors up until they say so...

maybe My color is just okay...?

[past bramble]

hopefully

[oak plaza]

here is me praying...
hahahaha

[ionic jay]

These look good imo. The more "traditional" Fringe colors also fit well. I think the original scheme is a bit too saturated, mainly a lot of red which is usually only a highlight color.

[oak plaza]

Then what Kine did makes it more fitting for the Fringe aesthetic then...?
will this fit in the game if I just copy paste the entire color scheme...?

[ionic jay]

I'd probably vote for it. Don't know about the others architects.

[oak plaza]

Thats one hell of a courage boost to me...
Thank You...

Hows this look guys...
does it look "fringy" enough...?

[ionic jay]

Green and red is not a good scheme imo, otherwise looks fine.

Also not a fan of the large sections of the same color on the left one.

[vernal lance]

i wonder if my ships are gonna be making into the game

our

[mortal cave]

Green and Red can be good

It's super hard to pull off well though

[vernal lance]

i wonder what has even pulled it off well

[oak plaza]

is there any color combination you could tell me...?
I really suck at color theory...

[mortal cave]

The issue is that they clash so hard, beyond compare really. Most of the time people deviate from the red or green to colors that don't immediately go for each other's throats, like this that tones the red to orange
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/yJl3K9
This is a true example though
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Qr0xrZ

[oak plaza]

About the left one, I had to make large sections so that the soul of the ship stays, It was supposed to look like a giant floating skull so I made more white colors to emphasize it...

[mortal cave]

Look it up on YouTube there's tons of people who explain it better than me

[ionic jay]

Ah ok. I don't think it's worth the sacrifice.

[oak plaza]

The previous ship got its shape because of the skull so I really had to keep it...
If you could have tips and tricks to add I appreciate it...

[ionic jay]

The right one isn't as noticeably 2-toned as the red/green one since the base paint is all a similar shade. Try porting the rustic scheme you/kine posted above.

[oak plaza]

Btw Oneye, I really wanted to show this to you and I just didnt had the time but your work on the Med Cabal Arms Depot made me make these 360 cores...
It was truly revolutionary...

[oak plaza]

will do...

[ionic jay]

Glad it was an inspiration!

[oak plaza]

This is what it looks like with the Rustic Color Scheme in Scrap Vengeance...

[ionic jay]

👌 Mind if I have the ship file?

[oak plaza]

Sure...
This is the Scrap Vengeance with the original Kaine's Scrapyard Color Scheme...

Now, another Problem...
How would I paint this to keep the zombie face in...
hahahahaha...

[ionic jay]

Here's some ideas. I think you'll need to change the paint itself though. Use all 4 colors everywhere. The parts of the ship that only have 3 sacrifice a lot, it kind of feels like they're sent back to classic. Another point I'll make is that you should probably reduce the number of vertical lines.

[oak plaza]

Thanks...

[oak plaza]

Could I just use the 2nd ship here as the current...?
because even if I could not show the white skull, it does look like a terrifying mask...

Its really hard to pick where to start on what you did Oneye...
they are absolutely gorgeous... I just wish I know how to pick colors myself...

Taking out some lines in the middle gave me this open section to work on...

I liked how the red and white lines up and the way the upper cheek bones mesh together...

I just dont know if that will be passable...

[ionic jay]

Looks better 👍

[oak plaza]

here is my progress...

is it good enough with the color change...?

Out of all the 4, the middle one is what I made...

[oak plaza]

this is the middle one...

[ionic jay]

Still some vertical lines that could use some variation in the middle. As for if it'll get in you'll just have to wait for the architect vote.

[oak plaza]

Thanks, as much for the votes, let me just fix them all the bunch before sending them to the review board...
the last contest submission ships I made which are these had shit paint, so as they won I need to fix them first...

[oak plaza]

For the mean time, I do hope the Architects love these ships...

[ionic jay]

👌 When you're done post them in #1081651425999863949 message

[oak plaza]

Yup, will do...

The only problem I have now is Kaine's Wrath and Scrap Wraith...

Here is one of the winning ships I had that time...
Crusher as Walt's Pick...

This is already the Fringe Color scheme...

[tribal heath]

👍

[oak plaza]

does this fix the vertical issue on the top...?

[ionic jay]

Looks too much like a checkerboard pattern imo. Do either or for a given region, not both.

[vernal lance]

the better updated version of hatchet and ratchet

[oak plaza]

Whats better...?

Btw this is one of the current problems I had, is this cool...?

[ionic jay]

Neither is what I was thinking of. I should have said blocks of color, not lines.

[oak plaza]

Noted...

[ionic jay]

Not bad, but again many vertical lines for your highlights and shadows.

[oak plaza]

this cuts the vertical lines...
but gives it blocky shapes...

[oak plaza]

let me just lessen them...

[ionic jay]

In case it helps: I tend to paint the opposite way around from you, starting out with the blocks of color, then adding the highlights, then the shadows. It's easier to make interesting shapes when you're not constrained by fades at the time, and can just find ways to fit them in after. Notice how almost all of the "plates" (blocks of color) on these ships have a bend halfway through, or a wedge on one corner, or are entirely slanted.

Anyway, this probably should have moved to #ships a while ago...

[oak plaza]

I see...
I just make shapes first as it makes it easier for me to see the general outline of my work...
I havent been this artistic to make shapes that sprout out the colors...

[ionic jay]

I mean basically you're just filling in the shapes first instead of outlining them, but it's less restrictive.

[oak plaza]

Btw, phenomenal use of fades, I havent thought about using the plain block as a form of fade but the way you shadow them is superb...

[vernal lance]

im posting this here because edit's slowmode screws me over and i fear that pasting the link will corrupt the ship.png

[oak plaza]

Yup...
one of the reason why my builds look like a jumbled mess...

[ionic jay]

Nah you're good

[oak plaza]

it still not the standards for architects...

I actually dont know what I did...
And I came back to doing more fades on the engine...

here is the correct color...

[ionic jay]

FWIW you've already improved considerably since your last contest submission.

Anyway, I've got to go now. Maybe one of the other architects would be willing to help.

[oak plaza]

Thanks for all the help...
And I appreciate the encouragement...

Thank You...

Here is my Current Progress...
I think they are great in their own right but what do you guys think...

[vernal lance]

i like the grey alot

although maybe change the lights on wrath to fit the ship

[past bramble]

Yes make it white

Or with a slight yellow hue

[oak plaza]

Let me just do that then thats enough cosmoteer for the day...

Scrap Vengeance now has Blue Eyes instead of Red...

There is only one Walt's Pick this time...?

[strange mango]

i guess so, but its the whole fleet

[oak plaza]

Damn, one a lucky guy...

[slow axle]

does walt-pick overright archetics approval

[oak plaza]

No, Im still replying even if they couldnt see...

[past bramble]

I feel like the blue/purple clashes with it

[strange mango]

good question, im not quite sure. i suppose you could ask in #ask-walt

[slow axle]

i bet walt is as lost as us

[oak plaza]

Nah, remember that My ships was walts pick but didnt get in career...

[strange mango]

that could also just be the result of nobody knowing how to actually handle official contests in modern. though you make a good point

[vernal lance]

i wonder if any of my ships last contest even made it in

[oak plaza]

As I remembered, walts pick technically won but still need to go through the Architects to be in career game...

[slow axle]

i would need to
-won the vote
-won architect approval

tbh i don't think i would make in

[oak plaza]

The architects already told you that your ships are too OP...

you need to lessen the nukes dude...

Some ships were turned down because it literally breaks the career progression...

[vernal lance]

i have 5 more ships that dont have nukes

helloooo are you looking

[oak plaza]

Send me the ships again, Im currently multi-tasking as Im playing valo...

[strange mango]

if i remember correctly , you get the chance to edit your ships for another shot, though i could be wrong

[slow axle]

huh

[oak plaza]

You could, Oneye just said to me earlier that they would vote for them as we fix it...

[oak plaza]

Here...

[slow axle]

like even if i lose the vote?

[oak plaza]

Paint...?
Thats the only problem I can think of...

[slow axle]

or it's just if i won

[vernal lance]

huh reigned glory duped

forgot this guy existed

[slow axle]

cuz that double wall who block me

[strange mango]

but you won the vote, unless there is another vote im unaware of or forgot about

[vernal lance]

and this guy

[slow axle]

didin't i was 4th and waiting for the tie breaker for a signle of my ship rn?

4th by a single vote btw

[strange mango]

oh, all 6 of the individual ship winners get to the architects no-mater the results of the tie breaker

[slow axle]

i-- what?

[strange mango]

its just to figure out the places, its more of a formality than anything really

[slow axle]

oh

that very good for me

[oak plaza]

You could ask the Architects if your ships fit the respective factions...

[vernal lance]

fringe

i dont have to say it

but i did

fringe

[past bramble]

Tie breaker tied

Lol

[slow axle]

funny

[vernal lance]

real of the century of all time

[oak plaza]

@strange mango, why do you have to butcher my name like that...

https://tenor.com/view/crying-crying-meme-gif-26327776

Just kidding...

[vernal lance]

ah yes

kaine ray

[oak plaza]

It's alright, I'm used to it...
Most people when meeting me the first time always do that mistake...

At least not Kane...

It's Kaine with a silent I so people gets confused...

[strange mango]

would you prefer i add the galo? if its not that than im not sure what is missing/wrong

[toxic ocean]

Oh wow how many conversations did I miss...

[oak plaza]

No need to be formal...
Its cool...
Hahahahahaha

[oak plaza]

So Much, I was even getting taught by Oneye earlier...

[toxic ocean]

The highest honor.

Anyways, I don't get how's Walt's pick is a single faction, I thought Walt should've picked random ships he liked the best too. Congratulations to Umbral's creator though.

[oak plaza]

Maybe Walt liked the set so they picked it...

[toxic ocean]

Mhm

[tired vapor]

0neye paint lesson

[toxic ocean]

;-;

Why does everything interesting happen when I'm away.

[oak plaza]

Sad...

[vernal lance]

same

[oak plaza]

What do you mean, we are in the same timezone and you were online earlier wth...

[oak plaza]

How's these @toxic ocean...

[strange mango]

walt works in mysterious ways. on a more serious note, from what i can tell, there is no 'usual way' walt goes about choosing a walts pick

[toxic ocean]

4 pings in a row mom I'm famous-

[vernal lance]

5

[toxic ocean]

Okay

[slow axle]

walt work in a walty way

sorry ping

[strange mango]

its fine, im one of the -12 discord users that doesnt mind being pinged

[toxic ocean]

Moaning face.

[oak plaza]

Quit slandering my Scrap Vengeance...

Hahahahahaha

[toxic ocean]

Aww it's a happy face now.

[past bramble]

Lol

[toxic ocean]

But a sorrowful face.

[vernal lance]

it's trying to joke in a time like this

[toxic ocean]

Probably thinking he didn't deserve to win the contest over others.

[toxic ocean]

Not sotd

[oak plaza]

God dammit...
Hahahahaha

[past bramble]

The D:

[toxic ocean]

Yeah.

[past bramble]

With the ftl lol

[vernal lance]

you killed the skull and replaced it with stupid faces

[oak plaza]

Well it wouldn't get approved if I leaved it as is...
And this is an improvement for me...

Fire the teeth...
Turn on the thrusters...

[past bramble]

Guess i have to update crimsonbrace

[toxic ocean]

How could he

[oak plaza]

I can't wait when the station contest commences...

I already have my picks...

[oak plaza]

It was still there...
It didn't leave...
It just have more face paint...

[toxic ocean]

Me too.

I wanna make a very unique station.

[oak plaza]

Rail Station will be the next on mine...

[past bramble]

Maybe not its too big and im lazy

Kheper rework again

[toxic ocean]

I wanna make a Monolith cross station with Internal spinners attached on all four wings.

[oak plaza]

Well, it is another that one Imperium ship...
So it will take a while...

[toxic ocean]

All spinners will have rails.

[oak plaza]

Yup, that's what I'm thinking too...

It's just a cross on me though...

An X...

[strange mango]

since people want it so much, i may or may not have the next official contest be the station contest. im not quite 100% sure yet, but i am genuinely considering it

[oak plaza]

The thing is, how do you limit the budget on that...

There is one station in game that is as close to what my Sun's Judgement at cost...

That's the Large Cabal Arms Station...

This is just as pricy as that one station...

[strange mango]

thats for me to figure out

[past bramble]

you are going to do a not so official event right?

[toxic ocean]

Epic. I hope internal spinner compatibility will be added the next time around.

[oak plaza]

They said it may or may not though...

[past bramble]

you could probably use that to test out the parameters

[toxic ocean]

Also, just a contest with a single category where you have to build a single ship and focus all your efforts on it will be amazing.

Station contest already manages to uphold that front.

[oak plaza]

Feels like you are projecting your pain Nick...

[strange mango]

if the break takes to long, yes, basically if i heard little to nothing by juli, i will probably hold an unofficial contest that month

[past bramble]

jan flash back kekw

[toxic ocean]

Yeah.

[strange mango]

either juli or august

[toxic ocean]

I swear I am still surprised how I didn't get completely burnt out when working on the workshop.

But I'm happy that the two ships I worked the hardest on made it in.

Well, I and Yuuki on Powerdrill.

[strange mango]

congrads, both on not burning out and having the hard work pay off

[toxic ocean]

Thanks.

[oak plaza]

I would submit my Sun's Judgement on the official contest so it may be added but I will still join the next contest...

[oak plaza]

You did it Bro...

[toxic ocean]

Hm.

Even though you did it more.

I am not jealous though... UNLIKE SOME

Cring xsnow moment

[past bramble]

atleast the big ones made it in

[vernal lance]

i still dont know why that one person voted us

[past bramble]

the crown jewels of your set

[vernal lance]

hey thanks random person that i dont know

[oak plaza]

That's what's important...
Imagine if Rotten Core didn't win...

[vernal lance]

your awesome

[slow axle]

if we can't make spinner...

[oak plaza]

Speak of the devil @toxic ocean...

[past bramble]

i wouldn't bother with doing another all or nothing submission after that honestly

[oak plaza]

It's your chance to redeem yourself...
You said you didn't put much more right...

[past bramble]

i mean if i made rotten core and it didnt make it in i wouldnt do another all or nothing submission

[strange mango]

probably not moving spinners, but stationary spinners probably not 100% out of the question

[oak plaza]

Yea, it would just be a bummer and you'll feel like a mess because you dedicated your time and effort to not win...

[past bramble]

i didnt do all or nothing this time around

[slow axle]

i have ideas to not make explosive charge

[oak plaza]

And that's why I told you you can redeem yourself...

[slow axle]

all i need is to understands if station have an AI

oh and also if it don't break the fact station can replace themself

[past bramble]

crimsonbrace 2 for next time

[oak plaza]

You should make a rule for stations that it should only be movable as its spinning...

All thrusters should focus on turning...

[past bramble]

70% budget on 1 ship

[strange mango]

ill have to ask the basic info like this from walt when the time comes. like, before the first modern contest i had a whole list of questions like this to walt, the answers of which i based the rules on

[slow axle]

gud

[oak plaza]

Based on in game behaviours, it has an AI, its just stationary though but turns it's main face towards the enemy...

[past bramble]

im gonna try take most expensive submission next time

[slow axle]

hey

[toxic ocean]

Yeah that sucks.

[slow axle]

wdym

[toxic ocean]

I'd love a first place tie.

jk

[past bramble]

its funny

i thought with that 1 ship rule

we would see more of those 3m ships

[slow axle]

too much time to make

just do a pretty boi like hawaii

[past bramble]

aight im gonn fix this next

submitted it a while back and havent heard anything since nor has it been added to the design contest folder

so most likely rejected

maybe it will fit the fringe better than imperium

[slow axle]

[past bramble]

the original looked like this

[toxic ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/daeth-funi-periflight-dies-from-gif-22212023

This is genuinely atrocious.

Still somehow better than my old paints.

[past bramble]

dont look at the ion it is necessary due to the budget constraints of old design contest rules

[toxic ocean]

👌

This looks inhumanely awful.

[past bramble]

im still amazed how this got walt pick

[slow axle]

oh it remind me how the anzu was painted

i mean is painted

still not updated

[past bramble]

that was the plan when i modernized it back then

they stopped painting imperium like this so maybe i have to change it to the blue scheme

[slow axle]

oh yes blue

[past bramble]

also the shape doesn't seem imperium enough

thats why im thinking of changing to fringe

[toxic ocean]

Good luck.

[stiff sandal]

Yeah, helped us pull off one hell of a clutch there

Too bad we don't know em

[tribal heath]

😕

[toxic ocean]

Poor immortal lost by a vote ;-;

[tribal heath]

Still a RNG

[toxic ocean]

Mhm

[past bramble]

freed up 1 layer of paint

not sure what to do with it

also emp at the back or frontal launchers

[vernal lance]

you called?

[toxic ocean]

Yippee

[stiff sandal]

My god

[vernal lance]

made by 10 yr old me (obviously not me now)

wait that was me who made this

[stiff sandal]

How times change

[toxic ocean]

Damn.

When did you even start playing Cosmo.

[vernal lance]

2017 i think

[toxic ocean]

Damn.

So was this your first ship or something?

[vernal lance]

did fracture exist during 2017

[past bramble]

i dont think prism exist in 2017

[slow axle]

heyyy 2:1 ions

[past bramble]

prism was 2018-2019 iirc

[slow axle]

i dunno since i didin't care back in classic

i started early 2022 iirc and forgot whatever was added since i didin't care at all

[vernal lance]

check cosmoteer.net

[past bramble]

may 10 2019

update 0.14.10

New Weapon Augment: Ion Beam Prism

yup 2019

[strange mango]

i think i started around 2017, cus scrapmans videos was what got me into the game.

[stiff sandal]

Nice

[past bramble]

i was like late 2017 too

[stiff sandal]

I came late 2020, so I am kinda late

[past bramble]

we are boomers

[vernal lance]

you too huh

[strange mango]

took me a while to actually join the community though, as it was pre mp and i didnt really use discord yet at the time

[oak plaza]

@strange mango, just keep me posted about the favor I asked...

This is just to remind you as you said...

[strange mango]

@oak plaza just so that you are aware, non faction contest ships dont need to be rebranded to a faction

also walt already knows about the request, and from what i could tell, he is cool with it

[oak plaza]

Thanks...
About the rebranding, it just makes it easier for the Architects to accept the ship...

[past bramble]

what are you requesting

im curious now

[oak plaza]

When it happens I'll explain...

[strange mango]

im not gonna spill the beans before you do, but i will say that being secretive in a public chat tends to make people curious

[oak plaza]

It's kinda cheesy though...
That's why I'm shy about it...

I wanna surprise her first before I tell you guys...

That's the only hint I'll be giving...

[past bramble]

hmm what color would mix well with the white

[strange mango]

lots of colours work well with white, grey and black. as these colours are naturally neutral

[past bramble]

trying to replace the grey

[strange mango]

of the imperium? why not just copy paste from a build in?

[past bramble]

not imperium

[strange mango]

oh, replace, i read replicate, in that case, another shade of red maybe?

[past bramble]

like im trying to transition the white into a different color

perhaps you are right and i should do that to the red instead

[strange mango]

not sure what works with black, white and red, other than either another red or grey

[vernal lance]

i would make the black

less black

[strange mango]

black and white are opposites, so trowing more than 1 other colour in the mix might be hard to work with, hence why i said either gray of another red, as these are variations of whats already there

[strange mango]

this could help yes

[vernal lance]

also isnt this already 4 layers

[strange mango]

yes but kine wants to replace the grey

[vernal lance]

lighter gray

[past bramble]

going for an ice theme might be the best bet with what im trying to achieve

blue and white is a better mix than red

[strange mango]

ice? light blues and whites as shine and or reflections are the go to

but ice is very hard to get right, as is any transparent material on a non transparent canvas

[slow axle]

imo that too bright

[strange mango]

i mean, ice and snow are bright

they are known to reflect light pretty well

[past bramble]

im using this as my inspiration atm

[strange mango]

you could just make a pixel art ice texture and use that as the paint, but the red seems very out of place

[past bramble]

i got rid of the red completely

[strange mango]

that looks tons better, actually

[vernal lance]

i dunno maybe go off-of this

[strange mango]

no i like the slide clue of green

[vernal lance]

i didnt say copy

i said go off-of

reference or something

[slow axle]

isin't that Icycold original paint scheme?

[vernal lance]

yes

[past bramble]

aight gonna go look at cabals for transition

[vernal lance]

the 2 blue cabal ships in existence

[strange mango]

but yea, this is very pleasing to look at. a colour scheme of 3 similar colours is very nice, and those types of colours tend to work really well

[vernal lance]

again maybe go off-of them

[past bramble]

that is the 2 ship i spawned in lol

[past bramble]

thats all for now gonna continue this some other time

i didnt think this through

im trying to get this accepted as a built in

fringe isnt ice

[stiff sandal]

Might be a safe bet to start over with the mid section if your going for fringe

[strange mango]

it doesnt have to be a faction ship

[past bramble]

i know but i want to try get it in as a faction

a color tweak should be enough tho

[stiff sandal]

I think it's going to take alot more than a color modifation to get past the architects

[past bramble]

still alot more things to do with it

[stiff sandal]

Indeed

Not sure when the next game update will be, but maybe not for a few weeks

[past bramble]

how much is the aceptable limit of change tho

[stiff sandal]

: shrug :

Depends on what your mimicking here

[past bramble]

trying to keep it as similar to the OG as possible

[past bramble]

the V1 that i submitted a while back hasnt even been added in as a classic design contest ship so i really doubt it will be any time soon

[strange mango]

whatever you can convince the architects is the acceptable amount i guess

to give a clearer answer, i would keep the shape and either only add onto or upgrade the major shapes of the paint of the original submissions, but then again i cant speak for the architects

[slow axle]

chonky but pretty

[slow axle]

"convince the architects and you can have the world"

[past bramble]

going imperium again is a possible path

[stiff sandal]

That can work yeah

Cause of those ions

[past bramble]

i could also double down on the ions and make it fringe/cabal

although cabal might need too much change

[bronze citrus]

Not really cabal

[lapis niche]

And formerly Atlas

[past bramble]

this is so hideous

[lapis niche]

That's got a lot of potential though

[slow axle]

most of my build be like

[past bramble]

if you want it go ahead

i dont want anything to do with it

[lapis niche]

I don't mind painting it for you, I think the craft is perfectly fine

[mortal cave]

The thing that gets me is why are the ions flipped like that, the reactors are likely more efficient if you put them closer to the thrusters

[lapis niche]

Even with the shields up front?

[mortal cave]

I doubt those would be coming online again based on proximity to the front of the ship and distance from the reactor

[lapis niche]

I see...

[past bramble]

u could move the shield closer down

[lapis niche]

Also, why not?

[past bramble]

it suppose to be a rework for classic ship

and there is nothing left of thhe original at that point

[slow axle]

or capacitor?

[past bramble]

why tho

there is like nothing there

[slow axle]

i mean near shield

[slow axle]

yeah so make it another ship?

[past bramble]

no

i dont feel like exploring that ship

this is the main focus for now

[toxic ocean]

Mister Immortal's broadsider will perfectly fit these two.

Blue Cabal might be underrated, but you know what's even more underrated?

GREEN CABAL!

Also you forgot some blue Cabal.

The new Sirius looks hilariously awful.

Feels unfinished.

[tribal heath]

Stellar Needle just dropped

[toxic ocean]

This looks... STELLAR!

kill me

[normal kite]

I needle you to stop with the lame puns

aight maybe I am the problem

[toxic ocean]

Okay that needle pun was stellar, you really nailed it.

[desert trail]

🔨

thats the punch line

[slow axle]

walt have spoken :D

[oak plaza]

Thats literally what we were saying yesterday...

[tired vapor]

do we get told if a ship is architect approved?

or is it like the old paragon requests in excelsior

[normal kite]

I think I heard that if the ship wins you get told if it’s not ready for career

[oak plaza]

You could submit a more fixed design if you are not confident with the winning ships entering career like what I did on mine...

Just make a revision and post it here...https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1081651425999863949

[tired vapor]

ehhh i didn't get told and i don't think it's in career?

[normal kite]

oh I was thinking if this which got no clear answer

[oak plaza]

Any feedback...?

[past bramble]

Make the colors less bright

Its not christmas yet

[oak plaza]

here...?

[oak plaza]

hows this...

Or this...

[past bramble]

Both are good

[oak plaza]

Ill pick the new one then...

Here is the Fringe Version of the First Scrapyard ships then...

[past bramble]

Very nice

[oak plaza]

Thanks...

[past bramble]

The gap between the old one and new is so massive

[oak plaza]

Im slowly learning more tips and tricks...

should I pass this now to the resubmissions or should I wait for more responses...?

[late zenith]

looks very fringy

[oak plaza]

Thanks...

[oak plaza]

Here is all my submissions...
Feel free to critique...

[tribal heath]

@strange mango I'm gonna withdraw of second place, since I don't admit RNG victory and RNG lose, decided by 1 vote in voting system, where every voter has >1-(2?) vote choice, what tends to tie between the best submissions, where determining difference can be intentionally/unintentionally created by 1 or 2 people. If I'm won first place, I would said the same thing.

[past bramble]

Huh does that mean snow get bumped to 3rd place

And kaine is 2nd?

[mortal cave]

Uh... your ships are kind of already being put into the game

[oak plaza]

What do you mean, is there really problem on your submissions when they all look phenomenal...
that 1 vote difference is actually a deciding factor because both you guys had made well done and splendid ships...

[vernal lance]

i still dont see how its rng

[vernal lance]

he didnt get first

[oak plaza]

The architect has spoken...
no take backs...

[vernal lance]

no seriously

#1059084974655033415 message

[oak plaza]

welp its too late now...
its an honor to have your ships in game...
I dont understand why Immortal doesnt want that...

[mortal cave]

I feel like not liking the means is an obvious problem to sympathize with

[oak plaza]

Btw @mortal cave, I had posted the newer rework of my current submission ships in the Design Contest Ships Edit just a minute ago...
Thats all...

[tribal heath]

A difference of 1 random vote can't be significant to me. The same could have happened the other way around.

[tribal heath]

Not really honor for me, because I can build built-ins like in quantity of whole packs.

[oak plaza]

I feel your side, that it would be a shame for 1st and 2nd to only be given a 1 vote gap but thats how a democratic vote is...
People genuinely voted for each as they loved the submissions...

[tribal heath]

That's "fine", but my choice is my choice.

[oak plaza]

that felt a weird flex but okay... hahahahahaha
Its just coming to my experience that winning with sport, even if it might seem insignificant to people I can be happy myself that my ships are in the game...
Some players do wish for that...

[oak plaza]

I respect that...

Its just a shame to not see your ships in game...

They are a work of art...

[tribal heath]

They don't need to be in the game to be art.

[vernal lance]

im just lurking watching as this discussion unfolds holding back my crippling amount of self-absorption behind loathing

[mortal cave]

You changed the colors and they do look better, but they still suffer from colors blurring together which kinda makes individual tiles the equivalent of beige, which is then chaotic enough to disrupt the shadows and further degrade texture. The color choices are an improvement but since you pinged me I'll inform you that I'm not going to vote for them

[oak plaza]

Yes, but it would be cool if right...?

[past bramble]

He has a reason behind it

[oak plaza]

Is that a pass or not...?
because I really am struggling to think what color scheme to put in it to fix that issue you say...
Kine's Rustic Scheme they made for me which is the current fits "kinda nicely" as its not dark enough to contrast the shadows and show the other colors...

As Kine's put it, its like a sun bleached color scheme...

[oak plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-dot-dot-dot-stick-figure-intresting-gif-23376515

[past bramble]

The rustic one and sun bleached are different themes fyi

[mortal cave]

If you read my statement you'd find that the color choice isn't the underlying source of the issue

[oak plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/i-am-so-confused-antman-gif-18662710

[vernal lance]

but they still suffer from colors blurring together which kinda makes individual tiles the equivalent of beige, which is then chaotic enough to disrupt the shadows and further degrade texture.

[mortal cave]

Lets look at a specific section

[vernal lance]

again do please reading it is appreciated very

[mortal cave]

So you see the nice shadows that layer it, right?

They provide texture

[oak plaza]

yup...

[mortal cave]

The red and white however, do not mesh, which creates visual noise

It hurts furthermore that the white follows a chaotic marbling on the red

So even if it looks nice zoomed in, that visual noise is disruptive enough to also disrupt your hard shadows

[oak plaza]

does this color work...?
this is the Color Scheme Oneye provided me...

or the lines really are the issue...

[mortal cave]

It's better, like I said, but when I hold my phone at arms length I can only recognize the bar on the right as being higher and the deck gun platform on the left as being distinct

[vernal lance]

i'd say less details

[oak plaza]

okay I get that...

[vernal lance]

makes it more whole and less noisy

[oak plaza]

So lessening details is the solution...?

[mortal cave]

Saying "use less details" subverts the cause of the problem and doesn't teach anyone reading why or how the issue occured

[vernal lance]

oh right im not an architect

yeah ill leave you two to do your own thing that i am too unqualified to do

[oak plaza]

I really am screaming right now on how messed up I am in...
I dont know where to start...
I dont understand anything...

[past bramble]

I guess the issue is the line clashes with the shadow making the 3d effect less noticable from further away

[oak plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[oak plaza]

Hmmm, I guess you are right...

[past bramble]

Thats what i intrepret from what saris said

[mortal cave]

As others have also pointed out your soft details of the lines and hard details of the shadows clash (interrupt each other) and ruin any illusion, just turning it into random colors instead of texture

Am I speaking a different language I'm explaining this as simply and coherently as I can

[oak plaza]

Its alright...

I dont know what I did...

took off some lines that are messing with the shields and blasters...

kept the middle section and then kept the lines from the mid to the base section...

[slow axle]

aye

[past bramble]

Does that mean

[slow axle]

a miracle
if that the end choice

[past bramble]

Nvm im still 6th in individual vote so no ship fr me

[slow axle]

poor kine

[past bramble]

Both of my ships are 6th

....

[oak plaza]

I think Ill give up on pleasing Saris...
HAHAHAHAHAHA...
My small brain really cant comprehend the things they said and Ill just bet it all that it gets green lit as Fringe is messy...
hahahahahaha
If it doesnt, then Ill work on it for real now...

right now I need to focus on my exams...

[past bramble]

There is 6 architech

U have to win majority

[mortal cave]

Five these days for reasons, but yes

When there was six the arrangement would presumably be 4 votes or bust

[slow axle]

yeah cosmopyr leave?

[vernal lance]

deleted account

so yeah five

[past bramble]

3/5

[past bramble]

I guess one way u can go about it is "is this possible to be turned into a 3d render"

[oak plaza]

Why do you have to be like this with me Saris...😭 😭 😭

[past bramble]

Thats what saris said about nick's paint

[oak plaza]

I mean if you look at my ship, it looks like an amalgamation of stairs and platforms...

the way blasters are at the bottom, shields on top and an upper structure...

[mortal cave]

It's what I say about everyone's paint if it's just colors haphazardly placed it's functionally a flat canvas, which is unimpressive

If it's any consolation I'm working on a tutorial...

[slow axle]

:thumbeline:

[oak plaza]

Thats enough cosmoteer for the day...
I need to chill...

[past bramble]

oh i thought its 1-5th only

[vernal lance]

elmao i was the one person who voted

[barren yacht]

i voted both fusion and immortal but preferred immortal's ships

[vernal lance]

why did immtrm not even get first anyway

why did they vote us

[strange mango]

well yes and no, technically, previously, snow and kommandant shared both fifth and sixth place, i just worded it as shared fifth plase

[barren yacht]

i think there is a way to do a ranked vote

in forms, we could try that next time

[slow axle]

me

very rng based i admit

totally understands immo choice

[strange mango]

im likely gonna use another platform for votes in the future anyway, as google forms doesnt display all the names propperly when there are too many options

[vernal lance]

you did that

[slow axle]

i did not voted since i thought it was too unfair

[past bramble]

well crap 4 ship tie breaker it can go to anyone

[slow axle]

no that a 5d chess play since now immo ff and i'm 3th

totally planned

[tribal heath]

Happy Xsnow

[barren yacht]

https://forms.gle/uuXZoj6C3uSZiFRE8

[past bramble]

what would the result screen look like

[barren yacht]

we can test

[strange mango]

i see, ill consider it, though it may be more complicated than its worth

[past bramble]

i put in som random votes

[barren yacht]

not rlly

though i did misclick the setting i think?

[past bramble]

idk if this is better than the usual one

[barren yacht]

ohh it's sideways

oh i found a better one

[past bramble]

its legit the same but can determine how much u like a certain set

not sure if that is useful unless want to do a point system

[slow axle]

wait my ship don't have an airlock

[past bramble]

ur the one that suggested the airlock rule bruh

[slow axle]

because i saw it

i'm not against rule but i should be

[strange mango]

feel free to use https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1081651425999863949

[slow axle]

and if i had the rule i would have remember

[slow axle]

do we have a limit to the update?

i mean-- number of time i do a small update

do i just delete the old post and make a new one?

[strange mango]

i think you can update the ships as many times as you want, just dont spam the edits thread

[vernal lance]

do our ships all have an airlock

[slow axle]

good

my only issue is where to add airlock here
on the "wings"?!

as for money could just remove more internals armor on awful tears

[strange mango]

wings or behind a rotated cr?

[barren yacht]

send ship

ez fix

[slow axle]

?

[barren yacht]

fine i'll scroll thru submissions channel

[slow axle]

sorry what?

[vernal lance]

he want ship

god you're turning into kaine rey galo

[strange mango]

salephz is asking for the .ship file, they want to help

[slow axle]

very good idea

[barren yacht]

bruh u say the entire name?

anyhow xsnow is running out of money

seems pretty hard to buy all those airlocks

[vernal lance]

i mean he shows it publicly

[slow axle]

no i'm fine got alot of armor to shave on the big boi

(awful tears)

[vernal lance]

like really

[barren yacht]

i dont say blake the femboy batpony or blake the batpony

i just say blake

[vernal lance]

i say the full names of people sometimes

dont know why

[strange mango]

both options are fine, its just a matter of opinion

[toxic ocean]

What the actual heck happened with Immortal taking back the second place win?

Like WHAT?!

Why!

@oak plaza Looks like Xsnow was shitting on you for no reason and Satan answered his curses XD

Still though why'd you ever do that @tribal heath, I am genuinely confused.

[vernal lance]

what i've taken away is that:
he can put out built-in quality ships
he didnt really care/want about his ships getting in
he just wanted the role

[toxic ocean]

Ahh...

I see.

Makes sense.

Not like he doesn't deserve it though!

[strange mango]

i mean he got close

[vernal lance]

he's a mature but more extreme version of me

[toxic ocean]

But yout ships were built-in quality too.

[vernal lance]

thats neat

[toxic ocean]

Honestly I'd be very content with a first place tie.

[vernal lance]

we're talking about immtrm not me

[toxic ocean]

Screw that one person who didn't make it happen.

[toxic ocean]

I know I was as well.

[vernal lance]

xsnow said it was them

[strange mango]

its not any one person that made the tie not happen

[vernal lance]

also fuck you i wouldve lost first

[toxic ocean]

Then double screw him XD

Hmm?

Blake said first category WOULD have ties.

So you wouldn't've lost fuck you back.

[strange mango]

i dont think i ever said would, maybe i said could somewhere though

[vernal lance]

so i wouldve lost fuck you back

[strange mango]

stop it with the cursing please, even as a joke. someone may take it the wrong way and start some real argument

[toxic ocean]

Yes you would have and not like you didn't deserve it for your extreme pettiness and self-discouraging!

It's annoying at this point.

At one moment you say "haha my ships suxs bollz lol" and then you say "fuck you your opinion implies I would not have gotten one of the biggest podiums this community has to offer!"
Like CHOOSE ONE DUDE

[mortal cave]

Just go to DMs if you guys wanna have an issue

[vernal lance]

we're just having a friendly argument on "if that one person didnt vote me i would've lost the tie breaker"

[tribal heath]

In my opinion, current voting system cases so many ties/close-to-tie situations (just see at Avokado's and Yugi's submissions with 14-14) , when people can literally sit on two chairs (five?), without long thinking who to give the vote to, because they can give it to several submissions.

[strange mango]

last time people wanted more vote options, now you want less? im trying to please everyone but you all are not making it easy

[tribal heath]

How many vote options was in previous contest?

[strange mango]

3 and 6 for each categorys respectively

[tribal heath]

It explains bigger gaps between places in previous DC.

[strange mango]

i suppose so

[slow axle]

i never complain abiut anything but the last two contest i had too many votes
dunno WHO complain bout not having 'nough

nor mayb e it's just me who's too strict

[strange mango]

you are free to complain if you got any problems regarding how i host contests, i aim to improve with every bit of feedback i get.

[slow axle]

ik

[strange mango]

but i guess there will be less vote options next time

[slow axle]

:thumbeline:

[past bramble]

less votes might be better

[slow axle]

allow at least two for self vote

everyone gonna end at one vote

[strange mango]

i mean, sure

[mortal cave]

There isn't going to be another contest until the procedure is significantly improved and worked on, at the very least

[tribal heath]

Collab submissions be like:

[strange mango]

dont worry, ive made that very clear

[mortal cave]

Just making sure, because last time you decided to proceed anyway

[strange mango]

yea my apologies for that, its just that i didnt feel great about canceling a contest after it had begun

[tribal heath]

And no single vote for me, it's so amusing.

[strange mango]

what are you going on about? you got second place

[past bramble]

the role matters more to some

[tribal heath]

Sometimes there is only one winning spot.

[mortal cave]

The way this discussion has been proceeding has been exceedingly caustic, I'm not really a fan of it. If you have an issue please raise it in a detailed post, but the constant jabs at one another leave me extremely unimpressed

[tribal heath]

Issue of currently voting system in that people have so many voting options, an it decreasing worth of vote by single people. Instead of hard choice between best (in their opinion), they just can literally sit on two (five), chairs, without long thinking who to give the vote to. It tends to some submissions can have equal quanitity of votes (Avokado's and Yugi's 14-14 submissions for example). That fragile equality can be unintentionally broken by one-two people, and there simply won't be a strict tie-break. In voting system with 1 vote choice everyone would really have to choose, as in tie-breakers.

[toxic ocean]

Then there's me who's fine with literally anything as long as budget is high enough xd

[past bramble]

is this 1 for the set and 1 for the individual or not?

[strange mango]

you make a fair point. it being a hard choice with less vote options was what made people want more if i recall correctly. both sides of the argument make some valid points. ill see what i can do about it once the future of contests are a bit clearer

[tribal heath]

1 for each category.

[toxic ocean]

Yeah right, the amount of votes for sure make everything very close.

[past bramble]

my problem with 1 for individual is that most of it usually gets taken by the winning set

[toxic ocean]

People can vote for like hapf the people there are.

[strange mango]

i dont think i will go lower than 2 for that reason. as well as the self vote problem with only 1 per category

[past bramble]

i dont think self voting will be that big of the problem

[strange mango]

maybe, but i rather avoid a problem than assuming it wont be a problem

[past bramble]

the next contest will be alot larger since it may get an official announcement at steam itself

at that point the 1 self vote doesnt hold much value

if the next contest isnt going to get that kind of publicity then yeah its better to revert to the older 3 votes

[desert trail]

confuseiminet

[tribal heath]

If you consider, that you would lost tie breaker, doesn't that mean that your win is provided by random luck? Not gonna to blame someone, just interesting point of view.

[bronze citrus]

Thats kinda just how it is man

Votes will always in a way feel random

Youre free to give up your win for no reason if you want ig

[tired vapor]

if i host a design contest i would just make ppl vote on the worst 50%, eliminate those, repeat

[bronze citrus]

Probably better, but also time consuming

Would take like a week to actually decide the best shipset

[past bramble]

probably alot longer considering voting period is usually 1 week

[wanton granite]

i technically only submitted one ship and it gets added so technically its a win for me 😂

[tired vapor]

ehhh have 1 vote every 2 days?

[wanton granite]

idk maybe steam or discord user based

especially steam user based should prevent "double voting"

[past bramble]

steam will reach more players honestly

[tired vapor]

i don't really like the process of a popular vote and would rather just have the architects choose but ehhhh

[desert trail]

https://tenor.com/view/vote-now-senate-star-wars-election-gif-26302707

[wanton granite]

thats basically tyranny 😆

[desert trail]

idk something like that

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-clone-trooper-yes-sir-episode-ii-star-wars-episode-ii-gif-16173162

[past bramble]

the architects picks might be an interesting way to have

kinda like walt picks

[bronze citrus]

I dont think architects should always pick

Maybe another exclusive pick ontop of votes

[past bramble]

their votes weight more?

that could also work

[wanton granite]

thats also basically not democracy

[past bramble]

yeah the architect has very high standards anyway so ships that doesnt win through votes has very low chance

[tired vapor]

architects choose what gets into campaign, voters choose what gets into dc folder

[wanton granite]

thats basically what is is rn isnt it?

as the architects need to aprove ships before they get added

[bronze citrus]

Nah

[tired vapor]

rn it's win votes *and* get architect vote to be in campagin

[bronze citrus]

Thats goofy

[past bramble]

its a horrible idea

didnt think it through at all lol

[bronze citrus]

I mean architects almost never allow ships to be added, mostly cause they made the style so they dont want something even marginally different in the same faction. Which is fine, i guess. But i dont really want them to have a stronger vote cause of that

[past bramble]

yea they already control what gets added in

[bronze citrus]

I think avokado is literally the only non architect who had their ships added in right

[tired vapor]

so change to this? any campaign quality is chosen by architect, any "cool ship" is chosen by voters

[past bramble]

quiximo

[wanton granite]

i mean pirate ships

can be more variable

[bronze citrus]

Already exactly how it is, but sure lol

[past bramble]

oddyseus is by quiximo

[bronze citrus]

True

[desert trail]

i pirate music so my ship is a computer

[wanton granite]

but like especially the faction ships need to be to some degree similiar to the standard of the ships that the architect makes

[bronze citrus]

Imperium seems like its less resistant to just adding whatever with a paint overhaul

[past bramble]

thre is also another cabal ship that has a non architect credit

forgot who and which one

[tired vapor]

no? rn it's popular vote and architect vote for campaign, i'm saying judt change it to architect

[bronze citrus]

What?

[tired vapor]

rn to get into campaign it's 2 steps: win popular vote then win architect vote

[bronze citrus]

Architects already choose whether a DC ship gets into campaign

Youre saying to skip popular vote?

[tired vapor]

i'm saying to remove the first step

yep

[bronze citrus]

Im sure architects would if they saw something actually quality

Its just that almost every ship that has genuine quality and fits ingame also wins popularity

[tired vapor]

ehhh if u make a boring small ship that looks like base game no one's voting for that

[rose swan]

FWIW a bunch of ships from the last contest have been approved to be added to career, they just haven't been added in yet.

[bronze citrus]

Cool

[strange mango]

right now its community voted ships get passed onto the architects, who then approve or deny them

[bronze citrus]

They dont look at every submission?

[strange mango]

pretty sure they dont

[past bramble]

architects do vote in the contest sometimes

but has no reason to review non winners

[tired vapor]

why not

[strange mango]

though to be fair, there is a good chance this was the last time this system will be used, as for what it will be in the future, i dont have a clue

[desert trail]

🎛️🎹🎹🎛️

[bronze citrus]

Hit the aux

[wispy vigil]

Hmmm

[strange mango]

what does this have to do with contests?

[desert trail]

well... it confuses pepol..... like the contest seems to be doing.....

also it looks cool

[past bramble]

mate u trying to purpose break the rules?

[strange mango]

well, if anyone has any questions or is confused about something regarding the contest, please feel free to ask me

[stiff sandal]

I guess no spoilers as to which ones made it in?

[toxic ocean]

👀

Can't wait to not see The Rotten Core in the game ;~;

[fast goblet]

Woah, that's interesting. I was sure that no ships from the February competition were accepted when the spring one started

also it's a pity that Immortal withdrew, those ships were perfect

[toxic ocean]

True.

[oak plaza]

I only wish to see my ships in game, even if I have to suffer reworking the paint on them all...

[stiff sandal]

Maybe the next update, the architects will give the news of what's been approved or not

[toxic ocean]

Yes

I still await the crew construction update.

[oak plaza]

that shit is goated bro...
cant wait...

[toxic ocean]

Yeah.

Also how does term "goated" make sense?

Greatest of all time-d?

[oak plaza]

Yup...
That's it...

[tribal heath]

It would be strange to just accept n-place (even first), when voting system has problems.

[slow axle]

agreed
but 'ill consider lluck an output of skill

[fast goblet]

I understand your protest, but as a player I just wanna see more cool ships in the game.

[tribal heath]

Bad voting system + no cool ships in game + L ratio

[toxic ocean]

Lol.

Well I guess that's just hard work from your end gone.

[past bramble]

Work that has not won can be reused iirc

[slow axle]

how did i miss the second tie breaker

[past bramble]

2 of my ships are competing against each other D:

[past bramble]

I have a feeling i would regret not voting but also will regret it if i vote

[past bramble]

Oh nice

[toxic ocean]

Rip lol.

[past bramble]

Nice harvester made it in

[toxic ocean]

Mhm

[past bramble]

That one has negative chance of making it in campaign lol

[toxic ocean]

Which one's harvester again?

[strange mango]

[toxic ocean]

Ahh one of those fleshy bois

[slow axle]

voted Revenant and Garuda iirc

also your submission be better than last time :D

goood job

[oak plaza]

@strange mango, could these replace the last contest ships in the folder or was it too late for me to say...

[strange mango]

its too late to replace them via me, but the https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1081651425999863949 has no time limit

[oak plaza]

I'll fix my ships first before I Send them...

[strange mango]

aright

[bronze citrus]

put hours work into ship submission
win contest
complain about vote system feeling “random
pull out, essentially wasting hours of work
Kinda chad ig

[mortal cave]

Don't forget about wasting the hosts' time too ^^

[strange mango]

i didnt really mind it as a one off occasion, though i rather not have it happen too often

[mortal cave]

I was specifically referring to me having to set up the voting procedure for the architects on which ships make it to the campaign

[strange mango]

ah, i see

[slow axle]

ah, make sense

[tribal heath]

Not that it was a waste of time, because I gained building experience, and that can be much more valuable.

[toxic ocean]

You also made really pretty things that we cherished that will never make it into the game 🥹

[bronze citrus]

when is the next design contest?

[past bramble]

TBA

The architect and devs want to overhaul the rules since the current system is outdated

[mortal cave]

There won't be a next one till it's announced and the most recent one wasn't supposed to occur

[slow axle]

blake told us multiple times they would host unofficial ones if ti take too longz

[strange mango]

if by the time there are little to no updates i will either host said unofficial contest in july or august, im aiming for july though

[wispy vigil]

What if I hosted an unofficial design contest?

[tired vapor]

no me

[strange mango]

im not sure if thats allowed, specially with the uncertainty of the state of official contests right now. but if you want too take the commitment of hosting an unofficial contest, you are free to #ask-walt. however i got one planned already anyway so the timeline might get a bit overcrowded if your hosting an unofficial contest close or even on top of mine

[wispy vigil]

I see

[toxic ocean]

Blake you're so funny sometimes 😆

Happens.

[strange mango]

for context: im so used to having the design contest chats open that i answered a quesion in ask walt

[toxic ocean]

Yeah I see.

[strange mango]

in my defence, the post above mentioned design contests

[wispy vigil]

As you had said to

[strange mango]

i think i just glanced at your post in ask walt and mis took it for this one, eitherway, it happened. next time ill double check if im in the right chat

[strange mango]

i could delete this, but im not gonna do that because i rather be transparent than cover up a mistake in a dishonest way

[normal kite]

is that meant to call someone out

[strange mango]

kinda, but not really, i was just poking fun at people on social media who delete a post when it gets too much negative feedback and pretend like it never happened

[mortal cave]

??? Bruh you broke a rule why would you not delete it

[strange mango]

no no, i deleted the actuall post in ask walt, i meant im not deleting the screenshot nick took

oh i could

watch

[mortal cave]

Thats way too much power for the tournament host role

[strange mango]

its just in tournament related chats

other chats cant delete stuff

it has been helpful on a few occasions too

[normal kite]

exactly what powers would the role give otherwise?

[mortal cave]

Making threads and accessing relevant channels

[slow axle]

i belive there a bot commend to see a role key permission
dyno not helpful

[strange mango]

as far as i know, i got permission to the private host chat, posting perms to a few relevant chats, like events and tournament announcements, and the ability to delete posts in tournament related chats

i just rarely use the latter

[viral widget]

[past bramble]

[past bramble]

[mortal cave]

[oak plaza]

[mortal cave]

[oak plaza]

[mortal cave]

[vernal lance]

[oak plaza]
