Actually the % chance of destroyer Demeters and Tachyons have always been there, I don't think many people realised how it worked.

I would like to be able to limit the arcs on the interceptors but that costs too much processing overhead to be workable.

Not as such. Yoyogames is working on making Game Maker more portable. However, the latest version can be run on Wine on Ubuntu so I assume that you should be able to run it on a mac with bootcamp or parallels or whatever the mac>windows emulator was called.

New Version Released Get it here: http://www.wyrdysm.com/bfdownload.php Once again, I bring you gifts of binary 1s and 0s.

Nono, I've been shifting my webhost. The nameserver's just been resolved, currently in the process of porting my phpbb databaes over for the forums. The old server was crap. They kept changing server-side settings without telling me (for example, php error messages is OFF, which makes it very diffic...

Well, to be more precise, there are a total of 4 colour schemes. Each colour scheme has 3 colours.

A ship is limited to using the 3 colours of the colour scheme chosen for it.

Covenant: You change ship colours in the main game options menu (three sliders at the bottom right). After changing it in the game, your ships in shipmaker will have the same colour schemes.

There are several AI modes that can be set. Each ship also has a predefined preferred engagement range. You can achieve strafing run AI by making the ai range something negative.

Lol, "LAUNCH FIGHTERS!" "LAUNCH FIGHTERS".

What the the other ur-quan have? Some funny bomb that exploded in multiple directions, but I forgot what their secondary weapon was.

Marko Dash: The screenshots are saved to your Battleships Forever folder (which should be c:\program files\battleships forever\) as screenshot100.bmp and so on.

The thrusters don't increase the thrust of the ship they're added to, but when they're destroyed they subtract an amount of thrust from the ship. They're just there to give some representation to the engines of the ships.

Go ahead and get in that custom ship tourny! New version released! Get it here: http://www.wyrdysm.com/games.php I think a lot of you are going to be pleasantly surprised with this version. Major new features: -Waypointing! You can now queue up orders by holding the shift key down when issuing an or...

Yea that's why game systems with customizable weapons such as Fleet Action 2 fell apart. Most game systems with customizable weapons restrict you to simply choosing which type of weapon to place on a point and giving you a list of pre-made weapons of varying classes (like Battletech).

Minimum rate of fire is still one, weapons will not fire more than once per frame.

That's a good idea. The problem is that the way the program works, if I change too many things it breaks compatibility with old ship blueprint files. But I will give it a try. Honestly, making a ship maker that produced "balanced" ships would either restrict the player too much (and well, ...
