@TheTomatoLover What do you think I made this teaser for? Obviously I intend to publish the build when it's fully finished geez...
The FPS camera featured in the video is already publicly available, made by MisterT, you can find the link in the pinned comment.
@PapaKernels Hmm, It's certainly allowed, but then it's gonna lose some points for being a non-accurate replica. Maybe instead of Pennsylvania itself, you could make it to be a fictional, third Pennsylvania-class BB, that didnt have its gun arrangement changed during the refits, then I wont have to judge it as a replica but as a fictional ship, and you still get to build a Pennsylvania class BB. You could even write a cool fictional service history for it :D
@Samflugzeugpanzer the quad turrets are fine, however, don't you think that 18 guns in total (assuming the other three are twin turrets) might be a bit overkill?
Even Agincourt only had 14 and the Lyon-class would have had 16 but they were never built.
A sidenote: judgement won't be based on the strength, you don't have to build the biggest, fastest, most gunned, most overkill ship ever.
@Fineilldoitmyself
1. There weren't any dreadnoughts before 1906. HMS Dreadnought started this line of ships when it was launched in 1906 hence why the challenge is between 1906-1920 (battleships after 1920 were mostly battlecruisers or fast battleships)
If your dreadnought is in an AU with an alternative timeline where technology evolved faster and dreadnoughts were created by the 1850s, that's fine (although Im expecting a bit of lore written in the description then), but if it was meant to be in the real world timeline, then it's way too far fetched for a dreadnought to be that early.
2. As the rules state, the build has to be newly built and has to be a successor to this post. You can't enter with something you already published
@Planebuilder2123 Not sure. I stopped working on it nowadays for other projects and I dont wanna make any more promises I can't keep. I'll tag everyone who asked about it when it eventually gets finished, but as of now, I dont know when will that happen, sorry. :(
@Samflugzeugpanzer Did some digging for you and the most I could find was that HMS Renown, HMS Repulse and HMS Hood (all three are battlecruisers, not dreadnoughts but they were built in ww1) had above-waterline torpedo tubes. However, these were fixed tubes and not the rotary type that you'd see on a destroyer.
@TrippinMidget11222211 the profile who I originally answered to got deleted and with it, their comments were deleted too, so you can't really see the full context here.
I'm totally chill, but one upvote or not, it's still a blatant stealing of my work
@TWDDerSharkmarine I'd say no, let's leave those out of this challenge, maybe in the pre-dreadnought challenge I'm planning in the future.
You can make Kawachi tho, as far as I know they are counted as dreadnoughts not semi-dreadnoughts (they had a uniform 12 inch main battery although the wing guns were different caliber than the centerline ones, but still all of them were 12 inch)
@Samflugzeugpanzer As the description states, yes, super dreadnoughts are allowed.
There is no post limit (spam will simply be disqualified) so go ahead with the refits (one user can only take one place in the top 3 tho, so for example if one of your versions make it into the top three, then the others wont)
Good luck!
I decided to collect the things this calculation doesn't take into account:
- pirates: a large part of the community didn't actually buy the game.
- alt accounts: you mentioned that there are approx. 300k users, but dont forget the fact that quite many users have at least one but sometimes two or three or even more alt accounts
- multiple purchases: another thing that should be counted is the fact that some might purchased the game on multiple platforms. I personally bought it on PC and Android as well.
- bots: there is a huge number of bots on the website, since registering to the website is not connected to actually owning the game, so there are a lot of bots that advertise malware and scams.
- The assumption of everyone buying it for 6$ is a bit rough as well: In the past 5 years, I've seen the game being on sale on Steam several times and even saw it on at least three occasions being sold for just 1$ on some online video game stores (legit ones, not shady ones).
- Banned and left users: They are probably a small portion of the community, but it should also be accounted that there are users who bought the game but their website accounts were temp- or perma banned. There are also those people who bought the game and left the website (and deleted their accs) by their own will.
- Non registered users: Also a probably small group are the people who bought the game but they didn't register a user on the website
I meant no harm by this, the post is still an interesting calculation, I just wanted to add some additional information to it. :)
I'm honored that my Olympic was used for one of the gifs of this truly amazing build.
There are no words how cool this is (I already tested it on 4 of my ships, I just love it)
@Terminator2809 You got a ban message. The fact that you refused to read even that and you are spamming ED's, Minty's and my forum posts acting like you have no idea why, perfectly shows why you were banned.
@AliceShimada I needed a bunch of ocean liners for the screenshots and your ship was among the ones I had saved down on my device (it's actually quite a nice ship)
@000007 The name is not even 'susyphus', it's 'sisyphus', jeez, very forced "joke". I named the boat after a Greek mythological figure who was punished by Hades to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity. I figured it'd be fitting for a tugboat whose job is to push ships around in a port all day long.
You should let this sus meme go, it is waaay overused and boring, not to mention that you really had to force it in this case
Welp, I thought you were going to use my wheel and EOT for building a ship or something, but this is just a blatant repost of my parts that I already posted... shame...
@Oakland Heyo! I see you are into shipbuilding (and veeery good at it), so I figured I'd let you know, that there is a discord server, Port SP, that is specifically aiming to bring SP ship builders together where we share knowledge, show off our work in progress builds and so on.
So in case you are interested, I'm gonna leave an invite link here: >>click here<<
This ship beautiful btw, very well made :)
@ZooxTark Heya! I see you are into shipbuilding (and pretty good at it), so I figured I'd let you know, that there is a discord server, Port SP, that is specifically aiming to bring SP ship builders together where we share knowledge, show off our work in progress builds and so on.
So in case you are interested, I'm gonna leave an invite link here: >>clicky<<
@Zaineman The website also counts every download, even if it comes from the same user, so it might be that some people downloaded multiple times too (for example if they forgot to save it, or changed something and wanted to get the original again etc)
@Dominick0291 Atlanta and California are meh, Portland is a maybe
As for Texas, I already built it lol (look around on in my builds, you'll find it there)
Not sure if I should be proud that my build is included in this as the "Much better tiger", or get offended for being called a "military otaku" because of it (I know it's just a joke)
I don't know where I am rn tho because I shifted to ship building... and I guess the tech tree is accurate then, because everyone always forgets about ship builders
@Bogey hey dude, your ships are absolutely amazing! I love that you managed to create a reusable catapult, it's somethung I myself have been thinking about for a while now but couldn't figure out.
I wanted to ask if you'd be interested in joining the Port SP discord server: It's an SP discord server dedicated to ship building in the game. We post progress updates there, share knowledge about shipbuilding and overall talk about boat stuff. :)
