Planetary Picture War between ManningQB18, commanding the Space Hive. In the other corner, we have: SumDude, who is leading the ENT. The Map that will be fought on is PPW_TheRedPlanet.
[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/153c00asteroidfield.png[/img]
The map is home to many asteroids and a now abandoned base. There are many satellites orbiting the planet, and in combination with the asteriods, can be very lethal.
[b]The Rules[/b]
Start with 1 large ship and two medium ships, and around 10 smaller ships, but it depends on your ships. Use good judgement
No joining, Just SumDude and Me
The standard PPW rules apply.
Now, Lets get started!
Great work on the map, Manning.
You can go first manning.
I was ready to go 'I wanna join'
The mountains/hills looks a bit out of place though, needs smoother shade between them and the ground. v:v:v

[b]Exiting hyperspace, line up for the hole in the space rocks[/b]
[i]Shit! I can't stop! We're going to hit the rocks! Go on without me! [/i]
[b]Affirmative, we'll continue the mission. Good bye[/b]

I was intending to make them look like rocks, coming up from the water-like sands.
Sorry I took so long, busy with life.

[I]The ENT fleet, on it's usual patrol over the planet, picks up moving blips on it's radar.[/I]
[B]"Captain, were picking up alien ships on the radar within the asteroid field, should we continue with the colonization mission?"
"We will continue with colonization, Lambda team will deploy on the surface with drop pods, Alpha and Zeta will guard you Lambda."
"Copy that captain, we found a suitable place for the pods to hit on the side of this mountain. We should be there soon."[/B]

The fleet moves through the hole
[b]Sir, enemy ships have been detected! They appear to be ENT[/b]
[i]Here? I hope they're ready for a fight! Send a fighter out to assess our chances[/i]
[editline]05:08PM[/editline]
also, I won't reply for ~2 hours, EA conference is about to be on.
EA media briefing over, now i can work until ubisoft comes out. Old Republic is giving me ideas though.
Yep, have an hour until Ubisoft comes on

[I]As the ships drop in altitude over the planet, the images on the radar become clearer.[/I]
[B]"Captain, I've never seen these types of ships before, what the hell are they?"
"Space Hive... Don't let them get too close... I made that mistake once before and I have regretted it since. Put out a scouting party, show them we mean business."
"Alpha this is Lambda, pods have been dropped towards the surface."[/B]
[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/ef9e00redwar.png[/img]
[b]Our scout has full view of the enemy, sir. There are 2 medium sized ships, 10 fighters, and 1 large ships. We appear to be evenly matched.[/b]
[i]That just makes things interesting...[/i]
[b]Assuming Defensive position A[/b]
The hell happened to the other ship?
[IMG]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/bb2400ef9e00redwar.png[/IMG]
[I]The pods hit the red dust, spewing a huge cloud into the air. The scout ships speed forward, getting a better look at their target.[/I]
[B]"Captain, it appears that they have an even number of ships, 1 large, 2 medium and 10 fighters. This should be a tough battle."
"Well then, get into defensive positions, arm the torpedoes, charge the ion canon. We will not let this base fall on this day."[/B]

[QUOTE=tyanet;22619393]The hell happened to the other ship?[/QUOTE]
It hit a rock. :v:

[b]Begin the initial appoach[/b]
[i]Prepare to open the claws![/i]
[b]Tell the scouts to begin a harvest, I'm expecting some damage here[/b]
Sad excuse to use the destroyed sprites you made btw. That doesn't really look like a collision at all.
And all the asteroids shadows are facing different directions because the person who made the map was lazy and just copy pasted the same shit and rotated.
Ok, so it's imperfect. Congratulations at trolling.

Will post tomorrow, late here.
Why do you assume everyone is trolling? He's just stating an opinion.

Someone said the map was good, I gotta put you guys in your place so you don't continue to think that it is acceptable.
Well if you want to make 50-75 diffrent rocks then please continue.
Eh, It's my first map, and I wanted it to be more funtional than visually pleasing
Besides, I couldn't find the asteroid spritesheet.
[editline]09:59AM[/editline]
And my excuse for the explosion is that the plasma ripped through the entire ship upon impact, not just a fender bender in space
[QUOTE=SpartanApples;22628194]Why do you assume everyone is trolling? He's just stating an opinion.[/QUOTE]
From where do you get the idea that I always say that? That was one of very few times I've said that...
[IMG]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/b35800fae00redwar.png[/IMG]
[I]Settlement construction is underway, torpedo tubes deploy from the larger ships. The ion cannon has a faint glow to it as it begins to charge. The scout fighters head toward the alien fighter they saw go toward an asteroid field and begin firing upon it. The radio is quiet.[/I]
It's not that much effort, you only need three colors.
Paint the light color bright red, paint the dark color the light color, paint the red the dark color.
Overall done, now the speckles and stuff can be done with the right click of the eraser.

The attacked scout releases the Plasma in a snaking path toward the attacker, as it is pierced by the glowing green laser beam.
[i]Sir! We just lost a scout![/i]
[b]Just keep harvesting, put our planet side unit on it as well![/b]
[i]What about their ion beam?[/i]
[b]Open the claws, The plasma along with our hardened shell should absorb all of the impact, for a little while[/b]
[IMG]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/8c420013e000redwar.png[/IMG]
[I]The city is built up to a self-sustained colony, complete with an air dome and factories. Meanwhile in space, the ion canon glows brighter.[/I]
[B]"Captain, the ion canon is fully charged, should we fire now?"
"Not just yet, that plasma will disintegrate the ions and after traveling that distance through space it will not damage them at all. Wait for them to get closer."
"Copy that captain, were also getting images of them destroying the asteroids... What are they doing?"
"Get Lambda down there immediately, make sure they don't get much material."[/B]
[I]Further out in space, a fighter is hit with the plasma blast, straight into it's fusion reactor, causing a huge detonation. The other fighter pilot is stunned. The Lambda fighters cruise toward the asteroid field, shooting at alien fighters when they see them. The Lambda cruiser lumbers along.[/I]
[B]"Holy shit... Alpha this is Lambda, one of the medium ships is gathering massive amounts of material. What should we do? We don't have a clean shot with our torpedoes!"
"Keep up the speed, don't let them last long."[/B]
[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/9e2600redwar.png[/img]
The medium ship fires torpedoes at the attacking fighters, and has successfully isolated a red band and orange band in it's massive amount of Plasma. It will leave soon. The other two fighters leave back to the mothership.
[b]We have them now...[/b]
Also, Sumdude, don't you think that moving your fighters half-way across the map AND killing my fighter is a bit much for one turn? You don't need to fix it or anything, but just for future reference.

Could of at least asked, man. Though, I am flattered.
He did say he was inspired by your ships to make similar ones, and I guess he gave credit by saying that.
And in his defense, that is a pretty common ship shape/set up.
Quite boring really.
Hey Sumdude, you can go anytime...
