Battleship Forever

[Shinzon]

There is a game that I have been playing for a very long time now, it's called "Battleship Forever" where you can essentialy build your own 2D battleships from scratch by placing sections and weapons in positions you want.

Introduction
Battleships Forever is a freeware tactical Real Time Strategy game that put's you in command of a small fleet of warships in space. Combat and damage mechanics are extremely detailed. Everything is simulated in game if possible. There are no abitrary "to hit chance" values in Battleships Forever. The game also features many innovative mechanics that you've never seen before. For example, the Cronus Battleship sports a Flux Shield generator that allows you to draw a defensive force shield around your ships in any shape you want. Another example are the Deflector modules that are used extensively through the game. These modules make a single section of a ship totally invulnerable to fire. This means that you will have to manoeuvre your ships to attack sections of the enemy ships not protected by Deflectors while keeping your own protected sections facing the enemy. Position is paramount!

Players will command picked fleets made up of Battleships, Destroyers and Patrol Craft. The completed game will include ten campaign missions and multiple skirmish modes.

Battleships Forever is inspired by and loosely based on Warning Forever by Hikoza.T.Ohkubo

Here are some ships that I have built:

Give it a whirl and post your creations. If there is enough interest, or we get enough skilled ship builders here, we can get a tournament going.

Happy Ship Building.

I'll give it a try tomorrow, I like games where you can get creative.

I remember playing this a looong time ago. Was fairly fun. But then Sins of a Solar Empire was released, so I forgot about it.

I periodically check out the indie games festival site for new stuff. Awards are presented every year.

I played it and beat it, or rather beat all the levels that are currently playable, as the last 2 have not been updated yet. I was a little dissapointed though, since it wasn't online, like I thought. I would like to see a big update where different ship parts are valued at different points. You could build a full fleet of 1 big ship, a couple destroyers, and 3-4 scout ships, and play like that. That would be great, I would probably have some fun with that.
