FTL in Forts

Description
Ever wanted to experience space battles in forts? Well, here's your chance anyway. Two intercepter styled ships (Corvette vs a Viper) are moored in place to duke it out. Astroids are non-buildable so the moorings cannot be rebuilt once destroyed. This map uses zero gravity physics so weapon and explosion recoil will have an impact. Watch your drift as astroids behind you may prove hazardous to your well being.

This map is a modification of Ximsa's Space Ship map. Full credit goes to him for the origonal ship designs.

Playing in zero-gravity iopens up a lot of possibilities for the game. I'd love to see a thruster mod that would allow you to fly these forts around the map.


*UPDATE: Added MG defenses and AI to both sides. Will continue to refine AI over the coming weaks.

**Some additional thoughts: This map has a lot of room for improvement. For one, i'd like to see a much larger play area with the distance between ships greatly increased. Also, i'm sure someone smarter than I will eventually create a thruster mod that will allow us to cut free of our moorings and fly around the map at will.

be carfull with 0G AI, if they fire wearpons too early, they can be stuck because of the recoil

@daggius - I imported the screen shot onto a power point slide then saved it as an image.

This looks cool. I am curious, how did you add text to the thumbnail image in the top right? Mine always goes to a default view of the map.

also there is a thruster mod but from experiance you cant do quick manuavers so i suggest still have the moorings but a little bit loose so you can move the ship abit to dodge the enemies shots

ps sorry for the bad spelling i need my meds but i cant have them right now

Inspiring coop minded designs.

Ah.

@kaakeli - He's right. These ships a rather loosely inspired by FTL. The corvette is closest to the Federation Cruiser and the Viper is inspired by the Lanius Cruiser. I'm thinking of making a map version that is truer to actual ships in game.

@Mew then you do happen to have bad imagination. I don't play it, I watch videos about it and I still recognize the ships.
