design contest chat

[tired vapor]

not cosmoteer work i mean

[toxic ocean]

On another notice, I'm scrapping the Nuclear Academy, I'm not very content with this design and since I forgot to save it on my main PC, it only saved as an unfinished form on the laptop (thanks to me placing it in one of the older saves). May this be a memorium to it.

[hollow python]

Finally submitted

[elfin venture]

did you yassify sprocket

[hollow python]

It does look very similar now that I compare them goddammit

[elfin venture]

you yassified sprocket congratulations

[toxic ocean]

AAAAA MY STUPID FUCKING GAME CRASHED AND TOOK ALL PROGRESS WITH IT DHFIUDHFISHHISRFHIRGR

[elfin venture]

oh NO

is the fucking universe conspiring to prevent nick from submitting like wtf

[elfin venture]

that's some bullshit right there, sorry man

[toxic ocean]

It's my stupid potato laptop.

[toxic ocean]

Fortunately autosave threw me a bone and a lot of progress wasn't lost.

[small breach]

we need to sacrifice a great painter so that nick can continue uninterrupted

[toxic ocean]

Sometimes we hate him, sometimes we love him, but no matter what, autosave is always there to save your ass i n need.

[elfin venture]

autosave has two sides:

saves your sanity when game crash
and interrupts you right when you're in the middle of making something really good, throwing you off

[elfin venture]

oh good
even so its irritating to have to go over parts you've already done

[toxic ocean]

but my beautiful bas-relief of man holding a molten gear still got deleted 😭

It was my first ever piece of human art in Cosmoteer.

[elfin venture]

that sounds like the worst possible part to lose to a game crash honestly

[toxic ocean]

And it isss

But I remember it from memory and will recreate.

[elfin venture]

the worst part is if you're wondering if the older version was better than your recreation or not

[toxic ocean]

It turned out worse than the original but eh, it'll suffice as first human art.

[toxic ocean]

LMAO I was thinking exactly that.

[slow axle]

God doesn't want you to submit it seems

[toxic ocean]

Just like in the January tournament, I'm getting a dejavu XD

In January 2024 tourney I was so close to submitting my entries to the point I had all three uploaded in a message with prices and author, I was ONE ENTER CLICK AWAY from submitting.

[simple valve]

thought I would create something for this but just not in the mood, I have false relay in anyways

besides my glorious Pavloydus ship I spotaneously made ofc

[toxic ocean]

Look who's getting Master of Design a second time.

[simple valve]

If I seriously win with it I might consider giving up my place in the leaderboard, since it's essentially a meme plus I already have the title

[desert trail]

I swear if some eldritch creature is messing with you, I will hunt it down, tar and feather it then burn it at the stake

Then spit on its corpse and run it over with my car

Then I will get a blender....

And throw mixed chunks of it in random volcanos

[small breach]

grant out here planning a genocide of some random aliens

[desert trail]

Alternatively I'll probably ask it to go bother political figures instead

[tired vapor]

@hollow python love the paint

very unqiue

i want to call it fleshy but that's not right

very

organismic

idk

[toxic ocean]

The eldritch creature in question:

[desert trail]

meekoz? nah, meekoz is a wizard. if anything they'd be helping hunt down the creature

[toxic ocean]

Lol.

[toxic ocean]

I'm pretty sure that's not an autoportrait of Meekoz. It's just a portrait.

[toxic ocean]

My ship in a nutshell:

[small breach]

lmao

[toxic ocean]

Also new problemmo, my laptop is ultra low on battery and lights went out.

[small breach]

uh oh

[toxic ocean]

This contest is going AMAZING!

I hope they come back on by tonight because it's already 20:30

Could you imagine just how ironic it would've been if I was making Power Dynamo right now?
Time themed ship (The clock thing in January), time runs out, Electricity themed ship, electricity runs out.

[simple valve]

good that you're not making a nuclear themed ship

[flint abyss]

oh no

[desert trail]

i think he was but he scraped it

[small breach]

what's next? planet themed ship, earth explodes

[toxic ocean]

I was making but like I said I left the file home 😭

[toxic ocean]

And another one I scrapped.

YAYYY LIGHTS BACK ON

[desert trail]

13 hours to go i think

aorund ish that

[toxic ocean]

Works for meee

[toxic ocean]

Thanks for being my hour counter by the way it genuinely helps.

[desert trail]

its ether 13 or 11 not entirely sure but you do have at least 10 hours

hopefuly

[toxic ocean]

I'll be done by today hopefully.

[desert trail]

good luck

[sonic breach]

Snow called and said they want their faction back

[flint abyss]

Monolith's lawyers are trying to contact me about infringing on ship patents

[desert trail]

tell them you use an ad blocker

[mortal cave]

I thought you were making a version of that ship without the balloons

[ashen widget]

I was, then I decided to keep them because I didn't want to ditch the name or description.

[desert trail]

the contest ends in like 8 hours right?

[hollow python]

bruhhhh

[mortal cave]

Best of luck with that, then

[mortal cave]

In 11 hours and two minutes

[hollow python]

His ship is so good too 😭

Besides the balloons

[desert trail]

oke dokes

@toxic ocean you have 10 hours remaining

[toxic ocean]

OH MY GOD besides the hassles my boy is almost complete.

[small breach]

saris why are you typing

you're making me scared

i am terrified of the message, though i wanna see what you made for this dc

[mortal cave]

What I made for the DC?

[small breach]

you're submitting something right

and also keyboard limitations so uh i can't type as easily

[mortal cave]

Part of the existence of these contests is that Walt wants ship diversity in terms of approach and style, which would have the point defeated if the architects participated. Furthermore we can just upload whatever ships we want at any time we want

[lament skiff]

it’s void invader not invasion

[mortal cave]

Thank you

[lament skiff]

[toxic ocean]

heyy don't say it's already closing!

[mortal cave]

I'm formulating things

[toxic ocean]

Oh, whew.

None of you have any idea the amount of pain I had to go through to get this thing on my Laptop from my PC (Game was desynced)

[slow axle]

I think at this point you should focus on a single submission and make it up to your standards

[toxic ocean]

That's like choosing between my children, if I had any

[desert trail]

chose the one you like the least and drop kick them off a building

[mortal cave]

You have multiple children for sake of spares, right?

[toxic ocean]

My lawyer (myself) strictly advices me to not answer this question.

[mortal cave]

Its the only good reason to have multiple children really

[desert trail]

jango fett had a good idea

[median patio]

Activate Windows

🔥

[desert trail]

9 hours to go

[tired vapor]

did not have time to replace agrihand :(

wait

still time to fix?

[toxic ocean]

Just to be clear, will it really end by like 9 hours from now?

Because I really really need to sleep.

I'm getting January DC dejavu

[mortal cave]

@small breach Azutec has no reverse thrust and is disqualified. Please fix it.

You have nine and a half hours Nick

[tired vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/gamer-crazy-gif-19728823

[mortal cave]

I probably didn't make clear enough that reverse thrust wasn't really optional

[desert trail]

good thing my ships have absoutely minimal thrust, minimal thrust and lots of thrust

8 hours left (technicaly 9 but emergancy hour is a good thing to have)

[mortal cave]

You know I really think that maybe putting things off is bad

[desert trail]

i mean its better than last time, nick has actualy submited a ship.

he might even submit 2

hopefuly.....

@graceful bridge good news theres still 8 hours, so you still avhe time for more ships if you want

[graceful bridge]

Thank you 😄

I was in a big hurry when I was making the Tolyatti ship

[wispy vigil]

does the minimum requirement of reverse thrust count?

like 2 thrusters for it

[desert trail]

think so

[wispy vigil]

that is good

is there time to submit a 3rd ship or has the time passed

[desert trail]

8 hours left

[wispy vigil]

nice

[desert trail]

(technicaly 9, but emergancy hour is good to have)

[wispy vigil]

that means i can probably start designing that in 6 hours

[desert trail]

dont procrastinate too long

any thing could happen,

like the power going out, or wifi going down,

computer becomeing sentient and deletinge your files

house catches fire

ect

[bronze citrus]

@slim fog just warning you unless im missing something, all of your submissions lack reverse thrust and may be automatically disqualified

[desert trail]

D'àurad has backthrust so its ok

other 2 dont tho

[elfin venture]

wait, why has Saris made a list of every submission so far? is it for administrative purposes or something? I don't remember seeing anything like that in the january contest

[flint abyss]

because that one is a bit more serious ?

[desert trail]

i'd add @small breach 's AzuTEC+ Lilac and The Half-life of a Ship,
@inner basalt 's 粉碎机(Pulverizer)
and @ashen widget 's A Red Balloon
missing back thrust to that list also

[flint abyss]

my Lina Deviation and its one reverse thruster: sweats

[desert trail]

thats fine

hopefuly

[bronze citrus]

just needs one i think

[desert trail]

-# also sweats

anyway we have 7 hours left

[flint abyss]

totall not centered and absolutely unlikely to be the first thing shot

[desert trail]

plenty of time i think

[inner basalt]

Ummm tbh Mainly because I was ill, I didn't have time to finish the last work, otherwise I wouldn't have submitted that work

[desert trail]

good news you still have 7 hours left

[inner basalt]

what I thought it is over

[desert trail]

nope, still have some time left

anyway time to go roast marshmelows for half an hour

yum

[inner basalt]

lol

[lament skiff]

I couldn’t find it by scrolling up but did anyone tell komi about their submission

[desert trail]

think i did, theres are good

oh wait bulilt in paint

nope

[lament skiff]

Yee

[desert trail]

do you want to ping them or should it?

[elfin venture]

@graceful bridge built-in paintstyles are not allowed

[graceful bridge]

ok

[desert trail]

could probibly get away with changeing the colors and removeing the logos,

maybe

any way, @toxic ocean 6 and a half hours left

go go go go go go go

you can do it

[elfin venture]

unless he's out of power

[desert trail]

right...... that could be a problum....

hopefuly not tho

unless it is....

probitly fine

[median patio]

use the power of power dynamo!

[tired vapor]

woke up from nap

it is

https://tenor.com/view/gamer-crazy-gif-19728823

time

[desert trail]

for ships?

if so you have 6 hours left til deadline

good luck'

[mortal cave]

I was in the process of doing stuff but had random other things break into my attention that needed addressing

[elfin venture]

ah

[mortal cave]

Which is also how I missed the lack of reverse thrust on other ships

[tired vapor]

good thing i already spent like

8 hours making the physical structure work

(mostly crew)

every time during a design contest i think "holy shit i'm never painting again" and every time after a design contest i think "huh i'm decent at painting, i should paint more"

[desert trail]

lol, looks pridy good so far

[desert trail]

i supose you do technicaly have time for memes.....

[tired vapor]

i hate this drive

i literally cannot touch any physical structure save for armor or i will spend my next 2 hours redoing the crew

my crew names

holy shit

i just realized

if the armor is ugly hwen u paint it u can just change it

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

(i just lost 0.125 blocks of armor worth of hp on average in certain engagements)

[lament skiff]

L

Ship ruined

[tired vapor]

true

guh

[lament skiff]

speed

[tired vapor]

112 iirc

can beat some of the 900k built ins

(it is 660k)

instantly dies vs missiles though

the chainguns take too long to realize "wow i should start brtrtrtrtrtrtrtrting"

[flint abyss]

???

[tired vapor]

i never realized that if it looks bad on an aesthetic ship u can just change it

[lament skiff]

lol

took me a long time too

[tired vapor]

(except worse for me bc if it will impair function whatsoever i will almost always not do it)

base coat done

@novel coyote lol nice ship

interesting paint

[novel coyote]

rushed as hell paint

just wanted to have a third submission

[desert trail]

looks good

5 hours left till deadline

this chat is now "air posts progress updates every 15 min"

[elfin venture]

funky

not sure wtf is happening with the fades though

[tired vapor]

idk either ngl

[vernal lance]

do I cram another ship

[tired vapor]

i've been working on computer since 6 am yesterday until 1 am today and i've still been working since like 6 am until nnow

[vernal lance]

how do I become ultra efficient at building a contest ship

[elfin venture]

do a small one in a style you're fast at

[median patio]

list of ships gone? im assuming it will come back at the end of the contest

[vernal lance]

I'm slow at everything

and I already have a style I'm using

damn I forgot lights

[elfin venture]

how could you

[vernal lance]

why do I keep doing that

[tired vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/dumpster-man-throw-out-trash-gif-14761446

[elfin venture]

bro forgor the ship

[tired vapor]

yeah i use links

i will post it here and copy link

[elfin venture]

why don't you just... send the ship in the first message

[tired vapor]

because in case i need to make small edit

[median patio]

i just send my pictures to some random bot then copy link

[tired vapor]

that works too

[desert trail]

4 hours left

also nice ship

[tired vapor]

this playlist \👍 (except danganronpa and fortissimole) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL887o4bU1NwAIYxlzAzvL8bpDyg8QWoqR

[lament skiff]

Thank you air for sharing dcss lore in your cosmoteer design contest submission

[tired vapor]

other one had it too

[lament skiff]

Epic

[tired vapor]

wait i checked the wiki to add the official desc for haemoclasm and it got buffed recently :D

[lament skiff]

Epic

[elder marsh]

alr my 3 ships for the DC

[tired vapor]

interesting core

lit up cores look so strange

not in a bad way ofc

[tired vapor]

@mortal cave @cinder oasis this is ok? or should i rename/redescript

i can go get the dcss license if needed

[desert trail]

@toxic ocean 3 hours left

[lament skiff]

too long didnt read but haemoclasm and plutonium sword are definitely not copyrighted and i assume(?) you’re not gonna actually have the bit about the actual dcss item in the description

[vernal lance]

3 what left

[tired vapor]

i am going to have the bit about the actual dcss item in the description

[lament skiff]

if so, directly mentioning another game in the description of the ship that will be in this game is just rude if nothing else so i wouldnt recommend

[elfin venture]

hours

[tired vapor]

how? i don't see how

[wind isle]

fan content is one thing official is another

lawsuit costs gonna go to you

[vernal lance]

just do it like me and paint your ship in another game's style

[lament skiff]

‘hello random cosmoteer player reading this ship description, check out this completely unrelated game that walt and the devs have no actual connection or relationship with’

[tired vapor]

i'm not saying to check it out

just saying what it's from

[desert trail]

Or like me an miss spell a caricters name in the ship lore

[lament skiff]

mentioning it by name is still advertising for it

anyways ur ship

[desert trail]

Technically

[tired vapor]

if walt/architects don't like it then i'll change it

[vernal lance]

up to the architects to decide if it's good or not

or the devs to decide if it should be allowed at all

[hollow python]

There are too many good ships, I don’t know who to vote

[desert trail]

Good news, we have infinite votes this contest, I think

Something along those lines

[tired vapor]

yep

pretty much

[desert trail]

Oh hey saris is typing, how badly did I hallucinate the actual script?

[mortal cave]

I don't understand how there's confusion here

If you think it remotely resembles an issue (nevermind personally clarifying the extent yourself) then just don't, and definitely don't ping Walt over meaningless matters

Alternatively you can leave it in, I'll rip it out of the description, and then I'll post a screenshot of this conversation when you bring it up

[tired vapor]

ok

i am pretty sure it doesn't infringe any rights afaik, as long as no one tried to copyrifht or sell plutonium sword or description

[mortal cave]

Given how many things have come up with you I'm inclined to have a default no

Anyway, ~3.5 hours remaining

[tired vapor]

this is still the architect approval/modifications phase if it were to be acceptable, so it can also just be changed then

[wispy vigil]

that's my 3rd ship sumbitted now

i'm free now

[tired vapor]

how come here isn't smooth?

[wispy vigil]

intentional choice

uses fades

makes it look more blocky and sharp

[tired vapor]

hard to see on mobile

i see

it certainly does make that part look blockier

[desert trail]

2 hours left till deadline

[median patio]

Lol savath's ship tricked me into thinking it was diagonal

Can't wait to see what nick is cooking up

[elfin venture]

why does savath/emperor/immortal/whatever downvote their own ships?

[tired vapor]

@vernal lance very unqieu paint

very nice

[vernal lance]

loose screw is completely untested

i do not know how well it fights

i don't even know if it works

[lament skiff]

hmmm i believe this is the ideal time to feel insecure about one of my submissions and begin work on a new submission

[tired vapor]

i didn't know how plutonium sword would work before i completely built it as well lol

[desert trail]

Well you do have 1 and a half hours to do so

[bronze citrus]

i think nick is cooked

[desert trail]

Possibly

@toxic ocean 1 hour left

[past bramble]

@toxic ocean you got like 40 minutes before its 00:00 25th august pacific time

[mortal cave]

Fourty and an hour

[desert trail]

Yep the backup hour

At least he managed to summit a ship before the deadline

Still can hope for 2 of them

[hexed prism]

Cutting it close I guess.

With my submission.

[desert trail]

@toxic ocean AWAKEN MASTER PAINTER AND FINISH YOUR CANVAS BEFORE THE WORK IS LOST TO TIME

[desert trail]

Not really, Still have an hour and a half

OK maybe that is close but what do I know lol

[hexed prism]

Well given I was told about this like 3 weeks ago and I only started building it... yesterday. Heh.

Or today depending on your time zone.

[desert trail]

I think it's technically the 25th for me currently

[median patio]

Go to bed? Nah
Wait until nick posts? Hell yeah

[desert trail]

I was done submitting my things basically at the start of the contest

It's funny to watch people scramble last minute to submit

But also kinda tragic too

-# .....I'm too hyperactive to wait 2 weeks, want it done now

[toxic ocean]

Okie dokes how much of the sands do I still have upon my grasp.

[toxic ocean]

Bet 😉

[median patio]

No way

!!!

[past bramble]

1 hour nick

[desert trail]

Yep

[toxic ocean]

This depends on the generousity of the host thankfully I am fast.

I will play Gas Gas Gas just in case.

[desert trail]

50 minutes left

[toxic ocean]

And the 2nd ship is DONE!!!

[elfin venture]

hOLY SHit that's 🔥

[desert trail]

Nice, you have 40 minutes if you want to try to get a 3rd ship in

[elfin venture]

nick has gone past just making rings with corridor he's now doing it *over the internals wtf

[elfin venture]

wait... did you forget sensors?

[toxic ocean]

🤦‍♂️

[vernal lance]

you still have time dont worry

[toxic ocean]

Ayy I know I'll sneak it in the lord of the gears mural

[elfin venture]

also, i think you forgot to colour lights in two spots:

• above the right side chaingun
• between the MRT nozzles and thrusters at the bottom

[elfin venture]

Lord of the Sensors

[desert trail]

Hyperactive too I think

Drive*

[elfin venture]

Oh fuck yea

[elfin venture]

you forgor the hypers

i don't blame you honestly if you're rushed so much

[desert trail]

Panic lol

[toxic ocean]

FUCK, more bricks off the house

And I have 30 minutes to finish nuclear abomination.

[median patio]

Beautiful

[desert trail]

Oh no, will budget optimization be the end of nick? Stay tuned for ....

[desert trail]

NO

[vernal lance]

me too friend

me too

[desert trail]

The sudden plot twist of computer crashing is too mutch to bear

[elfin venture]

i am invested here lmao

[ashen widget]

Do I delete the old one and repost with reverse thrust?

[desert trail]

Half an hour remains on the clock, will nick be able to pull this off?

[elfin venture]

yes

[desert trail]

Yes , you hvea 30 miuntea

[elfin venture]

I don't know! And let's not guess to avoid making Nick feel more stressed or held to a standard

[desert trail]

Sorry, was going for hells kitchen announcer vibes

He is cooking after all

I think that's the correct term right?

Proibly

[elfin venture]

Yes

[desert trail]

My adhd is going nuts

Well it would be anyway

[toxic ocean]

Now for you ol' pal.....

I went through so much pain to get you here 🫡

I'll try my best to sppedrun it.

But with my computer freezing twice a minute'

[desert trail]

God speed solder

[toxic ocean]

COME ON karma I'm not making an ice themed ship!

[desert trail]

🫡

[simple valve]

Nick you should really make ships before a DC is announced

[median patio]

Best of luck you will get through this

[ashen widget]

On Ringlord, the bottom launcher is only assigned to the empty storage.

[elfin venture]

good to see you're making memes instead of painting

[hexed prism]

We're allowed up to 3 submissions yes?

[desert trail]

20 minutes

[desert trail]

Yep

[toxic ocean]

YES

I won't be able to win saris over without them

[desert trail]

Let's hope that works

15

[median patio]

Nick do nothing but paint

Put your mind and everything to it

[desert trail]

Chuckles semi depravity, I am staying wayyyy past my bedtime for this chaos

[hexed prism]

Well put my second submission.
Was planning on making a 3rd.
But.... hahaha.
No time. Heh.

[desert trail]

Still 13 minutes, gogogogo

[hexed prism]

And finish the 1 and a half million ship I planned?

[desert trail]

Mmmm, posibly?

Might as well try

[hexed prism]

The ion core alone would probably take me hours.

Since I was planning to have an omnidirectional one.

(It was meant to be a long range orbiter with ions and missiles)

[desert trail]

Nice,

5️⃣

4️⃣

3️⃣

2️⃣

1️⃣

[toxic ocean]

Welp

[desert trail]

Time might be up now! (Passes out on couch)

[mortal cave]

Times up yes

Good job everyone

[median patio]

Rip

[hexed prism]

It was fun doing a Comosteer design for the first time in like half a year. Heh.

[flint abyss]

"just one more minute" for reassembly

[toxic ocean]

:[

Well, there's always the next design contest and you bet Nuclear Abomination ain't going nowhere.

Admit it though, I did some outstanding progress for 20 minutes.

[hexed prism]

Nothing like a bit of pressure (and some personal interest in the matter) to get you going fast.

[toxic ocean]

That's it, I'm done with ever touching this stupid computer for now, I'll go lie in the grass for a week or so.

Goodbye Cosmoteers

[small breach]

can i atleast try to add reverse thrust to me ships?

[elfin venture]

hold on, time is up, but there's nothing saying that submissions have closed in the submission thread...

[elfin venture]

saris said u needed to add reverse thrust hours ago there was plenty of time
also, i think u get one resubmission to correct mistakes after the architect vote?

[small breach]

i was sleeping tho

[elfin venture]

oh

then idk

[small breach]

but also don't you get unlimited resubmissions after the architect vote? maybe not to get into career but that's not my goal

[past bramble]

wait for afeter voting, if it gets in you can fix it then

[toxic ocean]

I doubt that one's going in but the thin rail one has potential.

[vernal lance]

when does voting (community and architect) commence

[desert trail]

Probably a day or 2

[desert trail]

They need to make a spreadsheet

[tired vapor]

it will be based off discord reactions afaik

[desert trail]

Chanle then I suppose

[slow axle]

I checked the official document, there will be a discord poll.
I assume time is needed to gather all the submissions, format it, and make sure everything do not break any rules explicitly

[elder marsh]

oh just realized i forgot to set the firing mode of the rails

[desert trail]

[bronze citrus]

it was made very clear that submissions needed reverse thrust multiple times

[small breach]

last time i was told i need to fix them i was sleeping

[simple valve]

I thought sleepwalking is crazy and you over here sleepreading the doc

[small breach]

idk i built my ships and put them in there, people then told me they have no reverse when i was sleeping

shrug ig they'll stay that way forever

[desert trail]

Could be worse,

Imagine forgetting to put weapons

[tired vapor]

i think it is still ok - if architects like it, you can just change it in the revisions phase

[tired vapor]

bruh i forgot crew and control rooms for a ship

got the airlocks though \👍

[desert trail]

Lol

[bronze citrus]

the doc also says that ships need reverse thrust

[small breach]

fair enough

[inner basalt]

I don't know if that's a polite question...But when will the voting begin? Where do I vote? And when will it end?It's my first time, so I don't know the process =n=

[toxic ocean]

Back then it was done via google forms but now the system has apparently changed, so it's all of us' first time.

[inner basalt]

Oh got it,thanks!

[toxic ocean]

Either way Saris will announce when it begins.

[inner basalt]

OK thanks!

[toxic ocean]

👍

[slow axle]

For some obscure reasons I seem to have necro the old contest submission thread. I haven't sent a single message but seemingly a reaction was all it needed.
I'm sorry for anyone it'd annoyed

[toxic ocean]

I don't see it.

[tired vapor]

still on the very bottom, i think ur good

[toxic ocean]

Nevermind it appeared.

[slow axle]

🤷‍♀️ it updated on my client
Was makin' sure.

[tired vapor]

maybe because you joined the thread

idk

[desert trail]

[median patio]

-new message in tournament announcements
-hm, must be voting

[flint abyss]

the tension

[desert trail]

[simple valve]

Every time a message appears here the voting gets postponed by one day

[small breach]

you're giving saris ideas

[flint abyss]

oh yes

[desert trail]

[slow axle]

Are the architects votes supposed to happen before community votes?

[desert trail]

no idea

[small breach]

no

[elfin venture]

They haven't happened in the past, but this is the first design contest where they can be done before the community vote

so that may be what the architects are doing

[flint abyss]

i mean, something could be happening but we don't know

[slow axle]

Transparency would be nice.

We hadn't even had an announcement saying the votings will start soon and I think that's why everyone is worried

[mortal cave]

I've put off the entire process due to a depressive episode that's since left me. I apologize for putting it off.

As we speak I'm in the process of sorting the ships, setting them up on the voting sheet, and making sure that I have all of the submitted ships in a save so that they're all saved properly. In a matter of hours I will have the vote set up alongside a save you can download to see them all sorted alphabetically, as well as a collection of statistics I've documented while observing them.

[simple valve]

I'm scared to see my ship's statistics

[mortal cave]

Yours unfortunately did not have any stats that it had the most of, outside of perhaps audacity

[elfin venture]

Nice!
Sorry about the depressive episode, good that you're feeling better

[bronze citrus]

statistics...?

interesting

[vernal lance]

me too

[lament skiff]

saris calculating the cringe factor of my ships (they’re off the charts)

[slow axle]

That makes sense.
Sorry about it

[elfin venture]

shit meekoz v nick this is a hard choice

[simple valve]

can't you vote for both?

[novel coyote]

how does this work, can we only vote once?

[mortal cave]

You can vote as many times as you want, if you want to, because the poll works differently than I expected

I know for one thing that the next DC (SD) I do will have a different means of voting

[slow axle]

I'm sorry if you explainned your thought process in the past but, why haven't you used google docs again?

--- ♡ ---
Now that I'm looking at the submissions from closer, I am really impressed by the general painting skills!

[slow axle]

Maybe I know why; is that because of the fake votes problem we had?

[mortal cave]

Discord specifically has the benefit of requiring discord accounts, which are a bit harder to mass-produce than email accounts

But, obviously, this isn't a good solution

[novel coyote]

I regret not putting more time in lol my ships look pathetic between meekoz and nicks

[vernal lance]

you're comparing yourself to meekoz

[mortal cave]

Either that or go by a different name

[vernal lance]

it's like comparing an excavator's size to a bagger 288

[novel coyote]

well there was that one time my butterfly tied in votes with meekoz

[elfin venture]

why did it take this message for me to realise that the list is sorted by alphabetical order

[vernal lance]

it's sorted??

[elfin venture]

its in alphabetical order

which also made me realise there's quite a lot of people with names starting with C

[tribal heath]

Good luck to all participants 😌

[slow axle]

I'd say these ships are just lacking good color theory

Sorry, these ships

[slow axle]

Sure it is less provocative, but it shines more

[slow axle]

It took me your message to realise it wasn't sorted by submission date

[vernal lance]

i seem to have voted 62% of the authors

[simple valve]

I set all the ships to normal ai and pirate allegiance and after a long (keyword) fight space owl emerged victorious with no crew casualties too

[elfin venture]

oh xsnow i did a lil testing with black moon light
funky ship, but the armour is unweaved, and i don't know if it's meant to fight with its ass facing the enemy or not

[flint abyss]

looking at my actual votes. while i would love to complain that i get low votes. i'll just asks what's missing, what i could do better for my ships.

[elfin venture]

lights

[flint abyss]

or my paint is just too mid to be noticed XD

[flint abyss]

oh, yeah. i never use lights.

[elfin venture]

theres ur problem

it's like not using the 3rd layer

[flint abyss]

hum

don't look old DC submissions of mine then

like one that is currently in game iirc

[elfin venture]

you mean breach

[flint abyss]

ye

[elfin venture]

tbh all the DC subs from that time are really scuffed lmoa

[flint abyss]

the one that never got updated even though i sent a version with fixed crew and one with a better paint

[toxic ocean]

Why am I matched against Meekoz what did I do to deserve this 😭

[elfin venture]

have a name that starts with a letter within the same quadrant of the alphabet as M

[slow axle]

No

[toxic ocean]

Ohh.

Okay from now on I am A Nick

[elfin venture]

that's from May im talking about the February DC

[slow axle]

You made my ship but better apparently ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elfin venture]

ok now you're with Ctrl, Corpo, Activatewindows, and Concretefan have fun

[toxic ocean]

Like I said, it was my original concept to make a mechanized planet before I saw yours, but it's a very cool coincidence.

[toxic ocean]

Mmm I prefer it over YouuKoz

[elfin venture]

very funny

[slow axle]

I'm sorry yes the armor is unweaved. I had to cut a lot of my design process due to time constraints. (gosh I wish the deadline was a week later like usual)
It is supposed to fight with it's ass facing the ennemy, it's a kite afterall

[elfin venture]

for a kite it doesn't do a whole lot of kiting

but yea thats fair

[toxic ocean]

If I win this I am renaming myself to Niickoz until the next tournament

[elfin venture]

i also tested a bit against ringlord industries

[raven isle]

Ill try again next time with this

[slow axle]

I focused on aesthetics.

It kills Orion though

[raven isle]

how to kill orion: legit anything other than ramming it

[elfin venture]

i guess -koz is the new Master of Design

[elfin venture]

ramming it works too

[raven isle]

true

[elfin venture]

how to kill orion: dont stand in front of giant fucking death beam

[raven isle]

how to kill orion 2.0: Legit anything other than a frontal ram

[elfin venture]

frontal ram can work too

[raven isle]

well

if your tanky af

[elfin venture]

who didn't?

[slow axle]

Uhhh air

[elfin venture]

or if you've even slightly off a perfectly lined up ram
or if your ship can split

[raven isle]

or have this peice of shit made by me

[elfin venture]

lmao

[raven isle]

(yes it kills orion in a ram)

[elfin venture]

i'm pretty sure for air "focusing on aesthetics" means "didn't make the ship at PVP standard"

[raven isle]

lmao

[small breach]

me, on only 1 submission

wait hold on i'm going up against you rednax

[elfin venture]

holy shit im tied with meekoz wtf

[small breach]

damnit

[elfin venture]

yes the categories are all in alphabetical order

[elfin venture]

i think the only category that doesn't have any "heavyweights" so to speak is 2/4 where Jewjuice is getting all the votes

[raven isle]

I only voted for one person so far

[slow axle]

I think so many peoples did not voted for him for the sake of him not winning again

We all want the master of design role. He already have it!!

[raven isle]

im rooting for red and snow mainly

: D

epic ships

[small breach]

brb renaming myself to the letter I

[elfin venture]

i voted for quite a few people but i also keep retracting my vote because people vote for themselves

[raven isle]

buh

ima vote for xsnow as well ill be back

[small breach]

fine i won't vote for myself

[raven isle]

good

yo vote for me i totally madde a ship

[elfin venture]

that doesn't mean i'll vote for you i vote for whoever has good enough ships in that category and didn't vote for themselves

[slow axle]

Lmao, fair. But my total of votes doesn't change and I more or less guarrante that you voted for me.

[raven isle]

your self votes prob dotn get counted

[elfin venture]

the alternative ig is i vote for myself and don't retract votes if others do the same but i don't want to vote for myself

[raven isle]

I do have to wonder one thing

[small breach]

they do get counted

[raven isle]

how do people come up with their ships...

every idea i tired failed

[slow axle]

@mortal cave Self votes are allowed right?
I don't want to have them subtracted because of an assumption.

(In the past it was allowed)

[raven isle]

maybe my creative flame just died

[small breach]

clearly i have no idea, i just took old concept after my first was a banger

[mortal cave]

Yes, if you legitimately believe your ships deserve to be in game then by all means

[raven isle]

I could of also put this in maybe (but compared to all your ships and stuff its shit heh)

[elfin venture]

all of my ships were just based off of stupid concepts
a Tractor Beam Beam pun
a splitter that specifically relies on losing its reactors
a PD fighter that has HE only to make it dangerous

[raven isle]

ah

i had a few ideas

but all of them failedd saddly

[elfin venture]

when in doubt randomly pick 2 weapons and make a ship, or roll again and again until you get a pairing you like

[elfin venture]

first tries never work

[raven isle]

i had 6 tried

[elfin venture]

ah

[raven isle]

yeah im good at making ships, but being super creative? not as much

[elfin venture]

i am working on a guide about that

is that ms celeste protagonist of hit egg cracker platformer celeste

[raven isle]

im going to send every imperium ship after you

[elfin venture]

im going to press E

[raven isle]

shit

NO

NONO

239875 nuke misses later

[elfin venture]

anyways

[raven isle]

ima... try to make a unique ship rn

even though the contest is over

[elfin venture]

when in doubt open up build mode and do one of the following:

• activate goblin mode
• activate adhd mode
• caffeinate
• ingest drugs of any variety (legally i am not advocating the use of illicit substances however i allegedly don't care about the legality of the drugs)

then just start placing shit

[raven isle]

uhhhh

i have

none

or

maybe..

i can redo one of my ships from build and battle

some cursed ideas appeared there.. . .

[elfin venture]

surely you have goblin or adhd mode

[raven isle]

what goblin

and ADHD is what we are aiming to see if i have next (bi-polar just got confirmed a few days aago)

wait

i got a weird idea

ima try it

[elfin venture]

fine, i peer-review you with ADHD (i do not have qualification to diagnose)
now go, do a cosmoteers

[small breach]

i have none but i do have music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBOHUZep_TA

[raven isle]

wanna see my weird idea? (thought of my rear mounted railfans made me think of it)

[elfin venture]

yes

[raven isle]

shed

wait what

here we are

its weird i know

#sotd-submissions message

Reminded me of it.

[raven isle]

not intended but i see how

[small breach]

it's like this but better

[raven isle]

heh

[vernal lance]

damn I only have 6 votes

I lost before I even started fr fr

[flint abyss]

oh wow, look at him complaining for having 6 votes and not be at the bottom

[elfin venture]

technically you're only in second last place but that's really just pedantry

[flint abyss]

thats technically at the bottom. i was counting more like bottom 5 or bottom 10.

[elfin venture]

yea

[past bramble]

my performance is not great

taking a poke at the participant's paintjob are rather fun

[toxic ocean]

I like your ships but your style definitely is quite a bit close to Cabal.

[past bramble]

i like how Tempest breaker shines

[simple valve]

No one understood the unmatched beauty of my ship

[past bramble]

meekoz paint now that i got a good is painted in a more like how you would do conventional art, the best lightworks as always

[past bramble]

concretefan's ship

i think it doest have space

tempestbreaker

[slow axle]

Tempestbreaker is amazing

[toxic ocean]

Pavlovidues

[toxic ocean]

Yes highlights are good.

[slow axle]

I voted concrete just for it. I don't particularly love the rest of their submissions

[past bramble]

same lol

corpo pixelated looks is pretty cool

[toxic ocean]

The thing is Meekoz' paint is a bit strange and unconventional, with a weird Layer 0 thing, but the lightworks are so good it carries the ship.

I feel like my lightwork has improved significantly but still ont as good as Meekoz.

[vernal lance]

lights? what's that?

[desert trail]

i think its a device that lets you move the sun

[wispy vigil]

hmmm

i don't really use lights either

90% of the time i forget there's even lights in the game at all

[desert trail]

i'm just looking at the descriptions of the ships

this might be my favorate sofar

[wispy vigil]

passing the time?

[desert trail]

somewhat

that and i just woke up so i can vote

[wispy vigil]

i don't remember if i put anythin in my descriptions all 3 i designed at like 3 am

[toxic ocean]

Thinkbomb submitted this ship April of last year if I remember correctly and I also laughed when I saw steel downpour's desc.

[median patio]

Holy why do I have so many votes
I was not expecting that lol

[flint abyss]

i don't know, but you should activate windows

[flint abyss]

it's wild to see how different everyone's style is

[late zenith]

I'm curious to see what statistics our ships get

[flint abyss]

yeah, that too XD

[median patio]

I have more votes than meekoz??!?!??!!!!

[flint abyss]

i voted for you and not meekoz

[late zenith]

radiance is just so good

[toxic ocean]

Why couldn't have you been one matched against Meekoz 😭

Meekoz has plot armour.

[median patio]

What the statistics thing everyone is talking about?

[toxic ocean]

I guess percentage of votes.

[flint abyss]

saris is a tease

[late zenith]

I thought it meant combat statistics, like Saris did some testing for all the ships or something

[flint abyss]

i think it's a mix of general stats and maybe combat effectiveness and also some more subjective stats from him

[tribal heath]

I guess it can be the same bias as "nah he will win anyways so I not vote for him"

[toxic ocean]

I haven't won a single DC though, so that can't be the case.

Every time I've gotten super close but never won.

[tribal heath]

It was the case for me in April 2023 DC

[flint abyss]

no, i just don't fancy it that much

[toxic ocean]

April 2023?
A yes

[lament skiff]

i only voted for 1 person per group and i voted for someone else other than meekoz

not that i dont like his ships

[flint abyss]

oh, i didn't vote for nick either

[median patio]

I voted 3 people per group

[flint abyss]

i voted for 16 persons

[toxic ocean]

I voted one per group too.

[flint abyss]

lol

[late zenith]

same

[flint abyss]

i voted while looking at the ships btw

[lament skiff]

guh

[tribal heath]

I voted for the best in my opinion

[lament skiff]

i just voted for my favorites as usual

[late zenith]

for this I voted based on the ones I liked best

[toxic ocean]

I am honoured you consider mine one of the best.

[lament skiff]

It’s kinda hard since it’s voting for people rather than ships cause some ppl had like 1 i like but i wasnt a fan of the others

[tribal heath]

Yeah

[median patio]

Your ship is just so damn cool

[toxic ocean]

I am so angry at myself I couldn't finish the 3rd ship, it would've been my best!

[lament skiff]

Lol

[toxic ocean]

Very funny until it happens to you.

[flint abyss]

that was the reason i voted for one person, but also the same reason i didn't vote for an other

[lament skiff]

it was a whole month, i feel like that is ample time to finish 3 ships, no offense

[tribal heath]

Only 3/4 of month

[toxic ocean]

The thing is it wasn't a month, it was 24 days, and I had an EXTREMELY busy month and there are some things more important in life than funny ships.

This is probably the ONLY time when submitting last second wasn't my fault.

[lament skiff]

shurg

[toxic ocean]

shurg

[flint abyss]

keep it for the next one

[slow axle]

I agree

I wanted to bad to build two ships. But I had to resort to using Snow Blizzard

[toxic ocean]

I sure will.

[toxic ocean]

Snow Blizzard is still such a funny name, it's like Water Rain.

Or sand sandstorm

[flint abyss]

anyway, the ship wouldn't have convince me to vote for you.
and that has nothing to do with how pretty the ships are. just so you know, your ships are really good

[toxic ocean]

Then could I at least know reason?

[slow axle]

Or Icycold... Or Frozen Icicle...

[bronze citrus]

what?

thats phrased oddly

you vote on whether the ships are good

[flint abyss]

well, i'm not interested in crazy or funky ships

that's all

[tribal heath]

Then what would convince you to vote?

[toxic ocean]

Icycold is a cool (no pun intended) name though, it's like double adjectives to convey the message better.

It's like ''freezing cold''

Something like ''freezing ice'' though would be silly.

[slow axle]

I'll keep this one in mind for my next ship

[toxic ocean]

Because ice is by definition freezing.

[slow axle]

Thanks for the idea

[toxic ocean]

I see.

Though my theme lately has become out of this world concepts (Cosmoteer is an out of this world game after all).

And they're possibly going to get even more insane.

my ships convey my mental state is what I'm trying to say

I was experimenting with something like this earlier today.

[flint abyss]

well, if you look at my style, you could understand a bit what i like XD ships that look like ships.
i really like Sädekivi by snow (not xsnow)
Oblitus Superstes by Itchy
and the ships by yuuki

[toxic ocean]

So you like ships that are ships instead of ships that are artworks.

Makes sense why you wouldn't like mine or Meekoz' stuff then.

Even though I still do make an odd ''ship that's ship'' ship once in a while, I've kinda lost motivation in them, as shown by this thing.

[flint abyss]

praticality and realism is really pretty to me

[toxic ocean]

I agree, I love realism too, but messing around with over the top stuff in Cosmoteer is fun.

[flint abyss]

true. but since the vote is up to each people's standards, well i voted what i wanted

[toxic ocean]

Sure.

[flint abyss]

if you had this, i would have voted for you XD

[toxic ocean]

I wouldn't persuade people to vote for my stuff.

[flint abyss]

but remember that i voted for 16 persons

[toxic ocean]

If meekoz is destined to win, so be it.

But on the other hand they've already won so...

[tribal heath]

New strategy: make ships for all favors

[toxic ocean]

Then some people might not vote because they don't have a theme and just a boullion of random ships, some weird, some realistic.

[tribal heath]

Yeah it's too

[toxic ocean]

If you could tie them with cool lore though...

[flint abyss]

mines were my faction (my faction do have 2 themes)

activate windows is winning XD

[median patio]

theres still like 40 hours left

[slow axle]

There will be a 5th poll 👀

[median patio]

for semi finals?

[slow axle]

#tournament-announcements message

Would be amazing if Saris just mass ping the architect and forced them through his discord poll but I heavily doubt that is going to happen. I lean much more towards some kind of finals or tie-breaker for the community vote

[lament skiff]

same for me tbh

[flint abyss]

our preferences shows in how we build ships

also, i want to remind that the theme was supposed to be independent

[median patio]

https://tenor.com/view/standing-here-i-realize-gif-24728653

How am I winning

[tribal heath]

Not yet, there will be 5th poll

[flint abyss]

not like it gonna change how i'll vote

[lament skiff]

Depends on who you currently voted for

the winner might not be on the 5th pol

[slow axle]

Depends on how the 5th poll work

[elfin venture]

prob just gonna take the top people in each quadrant and put them in a vote

[slow axle]

I think what was meant originally is for each person to chose their favourite in each poll, then the two most voted of each polls get to the 5th, and the cycle repeat. Alas dyno doesn't allow single choice votes. So I don't know what is going to be the replacement to this system

Maybe it doesn't need a replacement

[lament skiff]

I imagined there would be 1 winner from each of these then the final winner would be decided out of the 4 winners

[elfin venture]

saris has all but confirmed it

[simple valve]

I assume it's just gonna be the people with the most votes, regardless of the poll they're in

[strange mango]

if you can vote for multiple per account, which i am pretty sure is the case, then it doesnt matter if its 4 polls, it might as well be one giant poll where theres no limit on how many submissions you can vote for, so it wouldnt make sense to me for there to be a next round where we vote for the induvidual poll winners instead of just going with the overall top [however many] as the winners

[past bramble]

Idk why you would split the voting like its some sort of tourney group stage

[slow axle]

That is a very good point, Blake

[past bramble]

I dont think the fifth poll is for determining the winner

Or why it is necessary

[tribal heath]

5th poll might be with only 1 vote per account and it change things. But let's see.

[strange mango]

also, i will likely be back as a host by late october or early november

[slow axle]

Amazing! Glad to hear you are getting better

You'll be here for my birthday ^-^

[strange mango]

another thing with doing a second round based on the induvidual winners:
say that the top 3 in one pool get 2 3 and 4 votes respectively, but the top 3 in another get 5 6 and 7, if we go with the induvidual pool winners, we would have to discard the ones that got 5 and 6 in favour of one that got 4 for the finale round, which doesnt sound fair

[strange mango]

so am i, my doctor says that if things continue as they are going, i will be able to quit my treatment in a bit more than a month

[mortal cave]

5th poll was for sake of a tie breaker and may not end up being necessary

[toxic ocean]

I thought it would be 2 rounds, first round would decide winner of each set and second - the winner of the 4

[past bramble]

That just seems super redudnant considering we can vote as much as we want

[tired vapor]

i think people voted with the assumption that there would be a final vote between the top 4 of each category

[mortal cave]

It can be both, can't it?

[lament skiff]

It would change my vote

[tired vapor]

i voted the best in category, not best overall

[bronze citrus]

what exactly does the poll even decide aside from who gets the dc winner role?

whether they get in or not is based on the architects right

[lament skiff]

it’s just the role

[tribal heath]

In game, yes.

[inner basalt]

Wait what,what is the rule for voting?Only one vote per group?

[lament skiff]

there are no rules just vote however you want

[inner basalt]

OK thanks!

[elfin venture]

wait when do polls close?

[toxic ocean]

They should've closed 2 hours ago I think.

[flint abyss]

i wanna see stats !

[vernal lance]

what stats

the stats are already there

[flint abyss]

oh ?

whr ?

[mortal cave]

I screenshot all the current results, so the polls are now irrelevant. Will make the last one later today

[flint abyss]

me like stats but me not know where stats :'(

[toxic ocean]

You're such an enigma sometimes X

[flint abyss]

i mean, saris mentioned stats, and i don't know where they are

[lament skiff]

They don’t exist

[flint abyss]

:'(

me sad

me like stats

moment anecdote: i made stats for the end of the year exams at the university out of boredom

[toxic ocean]

Stat is propaganda invented by Saris to keep derp thrilled.

[simple valve]

Call that deep stat

[desert trail]

[median patio]

final vote

wish the best

[lament skiff]

Dang didnt even make top 8

[mortal cave]

For some asinine reason Discord is throwing a fit because my statistics contain content 'blocked by the server'

Thusly I'll bypass it by posting images instead since that's apparently necessary

[tired vapor]

no crew name length award? lol

interesting stats

[mortal cave]

If you want to read every name of every crew of every ship you're welcome to, clown

[wispy vigil]

i think all 3 of mine were 100 off 2m each

[late zenith]

One of my ships went 106 m/s (exactly), can't believe it was beaten for 2nd by .1 m/s

[wispy vigil]

1999848, 1999672, and 1999, 914 in cost

i had to keep adding in fake armour hallways to my designs to get under 2m

[mortal cave]

I recorded the majority of these stats before the last day, and your ships are smaller in size than Meekoz'

[wispy vigil]

is it that ammo was excluded from cost

[lament skiff]

Probably not

meekoz’s ships would have higher ammo cost

[wispy vigil]

damn, i didn't see in the rules that ammo was not applied to ship cost so i made the total cost under 2m

could have skipped putting halls everywhere if i knew

[lament skiff]

Ammo is applied

[wispy vigil]

hmmm

[desert trail]

le sigh..... theres allways next contest......

[wispy vigil]

and in the next if i join it i'll be last again

the best position is last place, only 1 opening for it

[desert trail]

your not wrong about that

[lament skiff]

Thought i cooked but i guess i need to cook harder

[toxic ocean]

These are such fun trivia facts on ships though, I love it.

[elfin venture]

congratulations nick on having the ship with the most air conditioned armour

[toxic ocean]

My ship has most corridor and light usage, makes a ton of sense. Furthermore a lot of it was just optimization because armour expensif

[hollow python]

Smallest ship 💀

[toxic ocean]

Tiny boi

[elfin venture]

kinda sad none of my ships are there but if they were it'd have to be stuff like Most Tractor Beams and Most PD and Most Thrusters not connected to an Engine Room

[lament skiff]

I think the only thing I could win is highest armor block to non armor block ratio on tempestbreaker

the ship is like 50% armor block

[elfin venture]

wait tempestbreaker might actually have mor PD than faraday cage nvm

[lament skiff]

36 on tempestbreaker

[past bramble]

2nd fastest and 2nd most armor? not exactly a combination i expected

i guess thats the pvp bloodline for you

[toxic ocean]

I will absolutely take highest amount of decorative corridor and lightwork on Ring boi

[elfin venture]

i just love the "air conditioned armour" bit

[toxic ocean]

Not to a competitive style ship :>

[toxic ocean]

It's a good one for sure.

And brightest too.

Saris is good with adjectives.

[elfin venture]

also poking fun at Steel Downpour's amazing rear thrust and Grant and DoctorBlue submitting two ships with the same name

[lament skiff]

also i never mentioned it but i finally had a legitimate reason to use my favorite pd module on tempestbreakers ass

[toxic ocean]

Steel Downpour slaps though I was one of like 3 people to vote it.

[lament skiff]

I like the idea/shape of it but not my preferred kind of paint

[toxic ocean]

By the way I love the name of Komi's ship Tolyatti.

It's a city in Russia.

I wonder why that city specifically though, it's a rather niche one.

[past bramble]

probably where he is from

i remember he is russian

[toxic ocean]

Yes he is, but... The Komi region (Which I assume where his name comes from) is nowhere close to that city.

[lament skiff]

based on komi’s pfp he likes anime and there are a thousand anime characters named komi so that’s where i assumed it came from lol

[toxic ocean]

Huh.

I always figured it was based upon the Komi Republic in Russia.

[elfin venture]

i kept thinking of kolmi which is a nickname for a different thing entirely

[lament skiff]

i know nothing about russian geography so i wouldn’t know but Komi Can’t Communicate is one of the most popular mangas of all time so I always assume that is the reference lol

[toxic ocean]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elfin venture]

even i have heard of that though oddly enough that name could also fit for a documentary about difficulties the Komi Republic faces inside russia

[toxic ocean]

The reason you think Komi can't communicate is that his main language is not English >:[
||(Joking)||

[lament skiff]

[toxic ocean]

Lol good one.

[elfin venture]

hell over here you could do Tasmania Can't Communicate lmao

[toxic ocean]

Well I don't think Komi people are oppress though.

[elfin venture]

they are basically just "the irrelevant one"

[elfin venture]

I don't know anything about them

[toxic ocean]

Sure lol.

The can't communicate title could work well for any oppressed nation or region.

[desert trail]

i would assume that if blue and i some how won, he'd probibly have to rename the ship due to duplicate names or something along those lines

[lament skiff]

would he or would you

[desert trail]

well my ship is literally mantis themed both in paint, design and lore. so i cant realy change it

[mortal cave]

If both get accepted DoctorBlue's ship would be renamed due to its name being far less topical

[wispy walrus]

Fair enough honestly

[slow axle]

These are lovely

I absolutely does not regret waiting

[elfin venture]

it seems the entire UGDF has decided to vote for me @raven isle

[raven isle]

LOL

yeah they took a look

notron was stuck between snow and you

dunno about cannet

[small breach]

you're now officially endorsed by the defense force

[hexed prism]

Oh surprised the top max speed is only 107.8 m/s.

I guess my Bubble Swift didn't count?
Maybe because it drops speed every now and then.

Oh they were recorded before the last day.
Aha.

[raven socket]

ikik it was a bit rushed, would have liked to paint it better but i ran out of time

[raven socket]

also thanks :)

thruster is definitely a little goofy though

(the reverse requirement had to be fullfilled)

[toxic ocean]

I'd love to see you make another ship with a similar style.

[raven socket]

the chaingun thing right?

[toxic ocean]

Yes.

[toxic ocean]

MAGAZINES?! I'M NOT HERE TO READ!

Or something.

[raven socket]

alright

i guess i have too now

[graceful bridge]

It's cute

[flint abyss]

i made no stats huh, should have expected it, my ships are average except in numbers of lights (0)
though i could have won the highest density of DC

[slow axle]

No so not average since I too ddoes not have lights

[flint abyss]

yay !

why always the french ?

[slow axle]

Because one is dumb and doesn't use the objectively better aesthetic part & the other mentionned in the past they wanted to keep their hull dull.

[flint abyss]

you want to keep your hull dull ?

[slow axle]

lmao

[flint abyss]

i mean, yeah i'm dumb to not use the lights. but that's personal choice and also my building philosophy
