TUMBLEMONSTER INDUSTRIAL SPONSORED SPACECRAFT DESIGN CONTEST!

Tumblemonster Industrial and The original BLAK are proud to sponsor the second Spacecraft Design Contest! With 15 million credits in prize money and a possible production contract from Tumblemonster Industrial on the line, the competition is sure to be fierce!

OFFICIAL RULES

1. Design can be done graphically in whatever manner you choose, from a sketch to a complete game-sized model to a high poly detail render. There are no provisions for judging the designs. Keep in mind, however, that people will probably tend to like completed, textured models over sketches and non textured models, so finalized, textured models are preferred

1.3 Design can be for any kind of spacecraft, including any sized space ship or bot

1.5 Each design should be a png or jpg with the name of the craft, a date and designers name on the image. 3d renderings should include at minumum an orthographic 3 view and a 3d rendering of the designers choice. Sketches and drawings must have at least 3 different drawings of each design

2. Maximum of three entries per player

2.5. No player can win more than one award. In the event a player places multiple designs in the top 3, he will be awarded only the topmost position's prize

3. Spacecraft must be a new design. Previously published designs cannot be entered. Alterations to current ingame ship designs will not be accepted

4. Designs must be entered in the Spacecraft Design Contest MK II thread (on the General Board). All images posted in the thread will be placed on a dedicated web page for voting

AWARDS

1st: 10 Million credits and a possible production contract with Tumblemonster Industries
2nd: 5 Million credits
3rd: 2 Million credits

ENTRY DEADLINE May 14, 2006

Tumblemonster Industries is looking forward to a great contest! Good luck!

Rule Suggestion:

5. Designs must be submitted with a suggested stat sheet, as well as a backstory or history behind the design, FYI did TGP design it, make up a charcter name for some engineer who built it. Just be imagainative and make it interesting. Be sure to have it make sense with the VO storyline.

WOW genka great design..... now why did you post that eh?

It's a vulture with two small and a large. Only one large, sadly, but fear not. I'm working on photoshopping a second large port into that picture.
Sadly, my lensflare filter is a bit broken, so it'll be a while.

What leeway do we have with the stats? For instance, could I design a light fighter/escort with 3/4 small weapons port? Also, is there a more detailed equipment list that gives all the current ships available with there required license minimums? <http://www.vendetta-online.com/manual/cha_equipment.html> only gives limited information. Thanks and I've got heckofa an idea!

Thanks for that link. It definitely helps to see all (or most) of the ship stats. Do you know if there is an actual equation for ship speed (i.e. Mass/thrust =max speed). Sorry if it seems overkill, I just wanna make sure that the stats fit within the V-O universe of physics!

You don't even need to post stats. Just the design drawings and your name.
