Re: Flicker and Wattage - Graphics needed
The Ampage is a tech 4 ship. The Voltage is a tech 9 ship. Hence i have made the Flicker a tech 14 ship and the Wattage a tech 19 ship. Do we really want such good graphics wasted on lower tech ships that will probably be shot at/used/wowed at for approximately 22.7483 seconds ? As I have more time available to spend on this project I think it would be good to use that time to go 'that extra step'. So far I have made the Wattage a player buildable ship. I am still deciding about the Flicker. There will also be new wattage/flicker based content coming in for you to delight over. Winners of the competition please forum pm me. For your prizes i will design a unique varient of these ships which will have slightly improved stats and slightly different coloured graphics. Enough to make peeps jealous So in short. No the Flicker wont be weaker than the inferno. Why would it need to be? The game has advanced alot since this competition started (January?) and i feel the content would be wasted if I didnt follow with the times. How do players feel about this ?

Re: Flicker and Wattage - Graphics needed
I could see some great flicker combat slaves for me to use if they ever do come out as player usable!

Re: Flicker and Wattage - Graphics needed
Well, the whole POINT of this contest was to fill the gap in low-leveled AI to kill. I don't really see why it was changed, leveling is far tougher at level 20-500 than 500-1000.

That's only because you have been f2p for so long that you have accumulated way more cash and better gear than any legitimate level 20 player would ever have.

I'm barely on 2 hours a week.

Re: Flicker and Wattage - Graphics needed
Well if the flicker is better then the Inferno you might aswell swap the ships around, call the inferno a flicker and the flicker an Inferno because the names don't match

Re: Flicker and Wattage - Graphics needed
HAL wrote: I am making two new AIs for the next universe. The Flicker will be a smaller AI on the same theme as an Inferno, but lower level, wandering warp 0. The Wattage will be a higher level tougher AI on the same theme as voltage and ampage, probably around level 200-300.
What I need are graphics submissions. 2D images are fine, but bonus points for any animations you can make as well. Super extra special bonus points if it comes with a 3d model and texture that can be used in Client 2.
These AI will be uncapturable, but the players with the winning art submissions will get a player version of their ship. The winner will be decided by me, but community feed back will be taken into account.
The contest will end January 31, but the date might be flexible. HAL's original post. Flicker should be a w0 AI, and wattage should be level 200-300, according to him.

Re: Flicker and Wattage - Graphics needed
ORB also to contnue with the escalating tech the wattage should be tech 15. (9-5=4-4=0) That being said - (0+4=4+5=9+6=15) then after that the next ship in the chain would be tech 21 then tech 29 and so on. Just speaking technically.
