The Alpharius Inititive (ServerWide Contest)

[DuplicateValue]

I built a little something over there. Obviously I can't win seeing as I have an unfair advantage, but I felt like making one anyway.

I can't get the turret to work the way I want though, the repeating circuit doesn't seem to come in an "off" flavour, regardless of where I put the lever.

That is all.

[Sir_Luke]

Why are we building these things?!

[warlockseer]

To maintain peace and security across all of escapecraft.

[vallorn]

Luke we are doing this as tribute to our new alien overlords. faliure to take part will result in disintegration.

[random980]

Why are we building these things?!

want to start our own contest to designs weapons to fire at the UFO's?

Go right ahead! We'll test out all these ufo's and see which is more effective at setting Solar City on Fire.

[MKindy]

When is judging? If it's soon, my ship is ready, but if not, I can make some modifications yet, since it looks like the field of entries isn't very large.

[vallorn]

5 days to go! im redoing mine in a Star Destroyer shape!

[MKindy]

Ok, cool My wings could use a better fleshing-out.

[marurder]

Wow, this thread explains a lot. I have been <TEXT REMOVED> when I first came here [to the server] but never saw this thread.

This is what I have done so far.

hey guys i may extend the Inititive. this would allow me to run a new one for Raven Empire land based weapons and larger ships...

oh and 4 days till Alpharius ends!

(Star Destroyer is coming along well! LATH! pop in and see the fighters!)

[marurder]

(Star Destroyer is coming along well! LATH! pop in and see the fighters!)

you are making a star destroyer?

[vallorn]

no its just the shape... it does however have many Arrow guns, 2 long range TNT cannons and an experimental Vortex Cannon.

its also propeled by a modified OGRED unit.

[vallorn]

3 Days guys!

as a side note my "fighter" is now repurposed as a light cruiser. and there may or may not be a prototype Vortex Missile behind the prototype Drone...

as a side note. i will be running a secondary contest to see who can do the most damage to the captured UFO over Bastion without damagng anything else. a Drone already took out one of the OGRED units.

[warlockseer]

Orbital super carriers are at the ready! Prepare to glass them to oblivion!

[MKindy]

Okay! Both my ships are done -- that's right, "both." I had a sudden inspiration this morning and couldn't help but build another ship, but it's a bit of a one-trick-pony, though it is a pretty badass trick. I prefer my Bird-of-Prey style "B-17X" to be the one used for the contest, but next to it I built something more saucer-shaped, which the Empire may use at its will and to its glory! /creplacing details are posted on signs below each craft.

Oh, and that one trick my new saucer can do? Here's the prototype I built in SP:



Up to one whole stack of TNT per bombing run; fuses moderated by redstone repeaters, so delays can be built in to either concentrate the explosion or to release waves fractions of seconds after one another to allow the previous wave's explosion to throw the next wave out, wreaking widespread havoc. The ship even features bomb bay doors, unlike this prototype, controlled by the same redstone switch that ignites the TNT (with appropriate delays). Turning off the switch closes the bomb bay doors back up to make reloading a less harried proposition, and to prevent the small-but-present possibility of a TNT brick or two being blasted directly up back into the ship.

I present it as a gift to the mighty Empress Lathania. May the Liberation of the citizens of all Escapia be our rallying cry! /patriotic_tearing_up

I wish I could participate in this, but given the time I found out I don't think you'd accept incomplete ships.

Likewise.... that and I've been way too busy working at the Imperial City. Oh well.

[vallorn]

maur, inf. if you you want i could delay the ending of the contest by a day or two.

[Lathania]

maur, inf. if you you want i could delay the ending of the contest by a day or two.

We have to wrap this up on a shorter deadline than anticipated. Draconax must be taken by Friday at the very latest.

okay then contest ends in 33 hours from now. (9PM thursday GMT)

[marurder]

No no no, I wont participate, keep the deadline as is. My ship is a little... complex.

[MKindy]

Here is a much better video, showing the destructive capacity of the TNT bomber, as well as the differences between low delay and high delay fuses.



And here is the saucer, waiting for its makeover.
