well we can simply have everyone pm their votes to an NPC account that way all votes will remain anonymous until afterwards. And if people don`t believe their votes were counted correctly i can publish everyone`s votes after the voting has ended.

btw, we need more people to submit designs

And nothing i can say or do will stop that, i can`t prove or disprove that someone told their friends to vote for a specific ship, we just have to hope that people actually vote on which ship they feel is best.

yep just 1 more question which i brought up last time when it was cancelled.

how is the voting going to work?
all someone has to do is see their ship tell their friends to vote for it and they win not fixed voting at all.

i suppose i will allow you to submit multiple designs, but no matter how good they are i will only accept one of each (one kryo design and one scorp design) from all of you..

and something to keep in mind

you can`t give something a 2+:1 hull to pr ratio and K class style shields, it`s alright to have one shield mod that is above 70% and a few positive below 35% depending on how high the hull is, remember to test your ships, after you make them they will appear in your yedi`s sim account for you to build and pit against other ships.

ideally for these ships you would expect them to be beat by about 60% of the ships in the game....or at the very least you`d want each race to have some thing that builds fairly fast to be able to kill the ship easily enough.

no you don`t need to include cost, or upkeep in the design.. these will be worked out by staff based on the design/race

buildrate you can include given there is room for that to be between 70-90k pr

sorry bout my first post errors lol

Man what`s with me and typos this morning >.<

i`m not touching the designs though if we don`t get enough entries or they`re all just so horrible, i`ll either give a bit of advice to each person and extend the time or cancel the contest and perhaps do it myself.

there`s no harm in entering the contest though, so please do

At the end, are you guys gonna gonna "fix" all the design to something more suitable if they are all a bit too much or not enough?

make an account on yedi`s battle sim site and then after logging in you can see the ship designer at the top of the page click there it should be fairly self explanatory from there on out, if not feel free to ask more

Where do I find the tool to design these ships, so that PR, BR, upkeep, hull ratio, scanner rating make sense?
EphemeralEternity

stephen decided to fix it yesterday at least it`s fixed in theory, and yes we will be finishing up with the UW ships, you`ll have to wait until BW gets them all set up.

and if the ship editor breaks again or we find that stephen didn`t really fix anything, between now and the time the contest is over we will input the new ships as soon as we can

how is this going to work with a broken ship editor?
