/strek/ - Star Trek ★

>>1678

i meant bird of prey

i can't help if if they name every ship after a bird

>>1682

>The use of the term "Warbird" in relation to the Klingons, as used in "Broken Bow", was a writer's error. Soon after the episode's production, Brannon Braga stated, "We made one mistake where in the pilot we called the Klingons' ships Warbirds, when in fact the Romulans use Warbirds and Klingons use the Bird-of-Prey. There was nothing we could do about it, and I'm sure we're going to get a lot of angry fans. But it was an honest mistake."

Not really no. It was a case of writers being retards and JewJew Trek called them Warbirds as well and we all know how much he cares for the lore.

>>1683

Also want to add Brannon Braga is double retarded. Birds of Prey are often their raider line of ships. Klingons use Attack/Battlecruisers as well. He should be crucified for such an oversight.

>>1686

latest design

as proof, the AI does a better job than me and beats the not-enterprise

i can't understand what the front of the ship is for though, it always gets blown up regardless of how much shields i throw on it. it would have been easier to just make the ship boomerang shaped

>>1682

The episode with the Romulan captain trying to fuck Spock states that the Klingons and Romulans have some sort of tech-sharing treaty or similar. This is used to explain away the fact that they're reusing footage/the model for a Klingon warship.

>i can't understand what the front of the ship is for though,

Put the bridge in the back, the guns on the side, and load the front with tons of nothing.

>Put the bridge in the back, the guns on the side, and load the front with tons of nothing.

but then why do i even need the front

every battle it's gonna get destroyed, and then i waste money rebuilding it

there must be some purpose to it

>>1703

from memory alpha:

"The bulk of the ship's overall mass was incorporated in the aft section of the ship. The bridge module was located on a bulbous forward section, which was separated from the aft section by a relatively thin connective section that attached to and flared into the aft portion, which swept from the main body, forming wings. The wing-design was characterized by its multi-positioning for various flight modes."

so the front is where command is

but if shields fail, that piece can easily get blown off, and then shit gets fucked

so i have multiple bridges along the wings

in which case the front becomes useless

So I gave it a try. I played the mercenaries or whatever it's called mode. The 2D not allowing you to stack weapons and what-have-you was very limiting, and I quickly learned that targeting the power source killed every single ship I came up against. Not bad, but a little bare-bones. 6/10, because I think it has promise, but it needs a Z-axis of at least one more level.

>The 2D not allowing you to stack weapons and what-have-you was very limiting

tbh, it's the least limiting ship builder i've seen so far

istrolid is fairly similar, but you can't even rotate ship parts there

and as it is right now, if we had a z-axis the game would run horribly. put 2-3 big ships and you get framerate drops, add z-levels and you'll actually need a non-toaster

superior and cheaper klingon technology defeats federation commies

>>1762

Should see the size of JewJew Trek ships in comparison to that chart :^)

>>1758

here we go

>>1771

Jesus, come to think about it I knew they were bad but I didn't think they were that bad!

>>1777

For You

>>1762

>Romulan Cabbage, Chowder, Cricket, Clavicle

What in the actual fuck?

>>1846

Why not make a Borg Cube? :^)

here's something that makes a lot of sense

we got energy wires and rotating shields. i can finally not care so much about where i put my crew

>>2005

>rotating shields

i meant circular shields, instead of an arc

more importantly they got rid of that space that the arc shields needed in the front, so now you can put them anywhere without issues

and they come in different sizes

>>1800

I think they're doing the codename thing, like NATO did with Soviet planes.

>>2381

Ah. That makes a little more sense. I figured it was just some cutesy inside joke.

>>1681

How do you make webms with this game?

Idea;

What if you just made your ship a spiral shape, with weapons and shields all along the outward-facing curvature of the spiral? As sections get destroyed, they expose fresh weapons and shields of the inner portions of the spiral.

>>2385

fraps?

>>2404

Thanks. I've downloaded it. I can't do it right now, but at some point soon you will all witness the might of a fully-armed and operational Death Penis.

>>2400

Looks like a Species 8472 Bioship.

So any recommendations for /strek/like vidya? i.e. games that would make a good /strek/ game?
