Why is everyone making these really unbalanced and OP ships? I only see this as taking the fun out of the game.

Stop that.
It's called spamming, and it's the one thing we really don't need more of around here.

Ok, I hate OP ships as much as the next fella... So, I propose that we start an UnderPowered ship contest! imma go make a thread for it. Also, I DO have plans to make an entry for this (Just to say I did.)

Will run into problems with that:

most people need OP ships to beat the game to begin with - the mod that replaces all ships with balanced 'weaker' ships is already uploaded...

But my idea is something around a ship that can't make it out of Sector 1. Like impossible-to-jump-twice kinda ship.

See also: The NightHawk. xD I've only gotten to sector 3 with it, and Bren Tenkage only got to sector 5 in his LP (After dying in sectors 1 and 3.

*sings* Anything you can do badly, I can do badly better.

Will destroy any ship in the game in under one second, using any one weapon or drone (although it has four of each). Upgraded reactor not necessary.

Love the descriptions you give your weapons, especially your "Lance Armstrong" drones.

I am surprised that there is no four-pad teleporter or Weapon Pre-Igniter on that ship, but it still looks extremely OP.

hahahaha

I realize, fully, the irony of what I'm about to say. I realize, fully, that by making this comment I'm only making the bumping problem worse.

But, fuck's sake man, did you really need to bump this terrible two-year old thread up just to say "hahahaha"? Christ, that's somehow worse than the spambots we keep getting plagued by.
