FREE-FOR-ALL BRAWL #4 – Long range cannons part deux
8000p ships battling in an arena all at the same time.
Again, normal cannon weapons have their range tripled. (except Blast Pulsars)
Asteroid Thrusters were banned.
Tinkrell were banned.
Nukes and Obliterators or allowed, but their stats were nerfed.
Melee spikes were limited to 18.
There were three rounds with a 50,000 sized arena.
Terran Battle Sphere Refit [by Climhazzard]
Clim’s steadfast brawl-kiter excelled in doing just that – brawl-kiting. This time with mines.
The Black Rock Shooter [by Panic Button]
A kiter/retreater offering an array of projectile spam and dropping torp-bombs on unsuspecting enemies.
Disk of Finite Peril [by Debris]
The disk carries more missiles than guns, but it’s armor is as good as it looks and more mobile than you’d expect. Your peril is ‘finite’, but peril is still peril.
Ziggurat SALVO [by Drillz]
The Ziggurat platform prooves itself again, generally doing well, but once in a while it’s driver seemed a little drunk.
Dodecapeedron [by Dukeslayer]
Farmer, but unlike what you’d normally expect from farmer. Fast, durable, and surprisingly all-around good.
Moonlight [by Icemourn]
Kind of an armored sniper. The armor made it slower than many of the fast ships, but the armor kept it alive longer than expected.
Strider [by ImperiX]
A melee Gauss Beam death missile suicide ship. … Can’t get more descriptive than that.
The Violent [by InfamousYenYu]
A Sentinel Battleship strangely lacking in melee spikes, but armed with a full compliment of Annihilators offering full naval broadsides to any enemy silly enough to get within range.
Protocol Mismatch [by InsaneAsylum]
A Sentinel kiter equiped with a radial array of Gauss beams. Danced around a lot, but struggled to match-up with some of the other kiters.
Unknown Crystalline [by Joyous18]
Pretty, but the Unknown Crystalline remains largely unknown. Unfortunately not fast enough to engage most ships, and not tanky enough to take on the heavier brawlers.
Brutalight Sparcake [by Kamikaze dalek]
A missile kiter with a hidden proton sword surprise inside. Fast enough to keep up with the other ships, but not durable enough to avoid some mishaps.
Alpha-Class Obleeter Mk4-1 [by Lapsapnow]
Not the Feralder! Less armor, more guns but this beast proves that it takes a beating and keeps punching.
Lance Frigate Mk IV [by Owlfeathers]
An anti-kiter armed with burst lasers and a serious attitude. A massive Napoleon complex means it tends to forget about the kiters and instead spews wrath on the largest brawlers in the arena.
B3 Cruiser [by Splinter]
Built like a bulldog and faster than one might expect from Crystalline, Splinter’s brawler handles itself well and looks cool to boot.
Kugelblitz [by Starficz]
The magical disappearing ship. Excels at running away, struggles with dps, and escapes the arena at will.
Smartfarmer [by Waste47]
Smart Farmer doing what a smart farmer should do – stay as far away from enemies as possible and hope they don’t notice you.
Starcrusier X33 MkII [by superbusy]
Big and pretty, and big. The blast pulsars ensure it soaks up a seemingly infinite amount of damage. Unfortunately big also means slow, so it does have to wait for everyone to come to it.
A Brick [by XDERP7]
The Brick was well under P cost and clearly well underpowered compared to the other contestants. It was indeed a brick.
Bulletstorm 2 [by Zfall]
With the reduced cost of the Tempest guns, you now get even more bullets than the last Bulletstom. Double your bullets, double your fun.
Not a 7998P Submission [by QuantumReactor]
A revised design with more armor. Moar armor = moar tanky.
Octabellos [by Margakis]
Essentially four Anti-matter kiters copied and stacked directly on top of each other, combined to make one fast and beastly ship.
The Boss
The vanilla ship from the Sentinels named Guardian.
