Every agent ship...

Is either a box filled with guns or a control module surrounded by guns, bland and impossle to kill when you don't have a massive fleet of boxes with guns. Is there a way to turn the "multiplayer" off?

Go offline mode in steam. Note, the fleet you save when in offline mode will be saved to your computer

If you ever encounter my fleets, they look like actual ships, I put that ahead of pure functionality, a spaceship should look like a spaceship in my opinion. Though two of my fleets are more insect design based.

Not impossible to kill, but certainly boring.. It's just lazy and lacking in creativity. It is very possible to create a non-box ship of the same P to take out a box ship. It just depends on what that box ship is doing, just like any other shape of ship.

There really needs to be a way to adjust the number of agent fleets from within the game, instead of editing the values in cvars.txt. They're not fun to face when you're playing with more creative, less optimized ship designs. Or when you're new to the game, and pretty vague how to build an effective fleet of more than one ship in the first place.

As the game gets polished, it needs to cater to players of different skill levels. N00bs (like me!) are especially likely to find agent fleets a big unbeatable kick in the groin. IMO, they really shouldn't even spawn until the player crosses a certain P-threshold, or something.

Having a great time tho.

If you see my ships you will find them to be very creative and VERY deadly. Enjoy!

[toughbrook]

most of them are poorly designed with their command modules pretty far in the back where their factories usally are.

[MarkoDarko]

Yea my ships are actual ships aswell if you ever see mine(Soviet Space Federation)

Maybe it's time for "The Most Hidious Agent Ships" thread. Post screenshots and stuff.

LOL, thx. Some of the designs are a bit phallic-like I guess. I have many others for that faction too though. I will send some out your way. ;)

Did you find them deadly btw? Or were they a bit too slow? I think they are a bit cumbersome.

[Camo5]

For faction 15 they are relatively agile. I've been messing with the block stats to balance the factions, and some of your ships are worth nearly 10000P because of it :P
Your lich and revenant craft fare very well with the buff I gave the obliterator laser ;) Obviously they don't beat the completely maxed out designs, but they have about a 70% win rate

[mar3usmc]

Yes, the armor blocks for that faction are broken good. Not sure why some have a cost while others do not.

[Camo5]

I assume all of the armor blocks should have a cost, but since the large armored cube and right triangle do not, they tend to be spammed on ships XD

[Dexious Emera]

Is it literally a box or just a ton of armor you need to chew through?

[Camo5]

a ton of large right triangle pieces sticking out of a rectangle
