Gentlemen.Some of you may remember a freeware game back in the day called Warning Forever, where you'd have your tiny little ships and fight an endless wave of bigger and bigger battleships that were built to specifically counter your strategies. This is the natural extension of that. In Battleships Forever you get to control a small fleet of Battleships, and even build your own. You get to use everything from missiles to machine guns to lasers to rail guns, you get force shields, shields you can draw, point defence flak batteries. Everything. Not only that, but you can edit or change the stats of different weapons for different effects. Like This.With laser bandan action And huge possibilities Even themed fleets Get it, play it, love it. I still have to figure out all the bits and pieces, so if you find an online owner's manual or help manual, that'd be awesome. It might be within the game itself somewhere. Penny Arcade even has some tournament rules for it.Fight on.

The game looks amazing from the time I spent in the sandbox mode, but I was so tired when I tried it I didn't get to see very much of it. Plus, I'll probably be taking forever to make my own ships, haha. I'll have to give this a better look soon.

It's really fun. I even made my own: Top left: Partisan; Line Formation battleship. Stack them up like a phalanx for huge firepower and defence. Top Right: Diplomat; long range missile support. Bottom Left Neo-Con; support ship with close range scatter lasers. Bottom Right: Lobbyist; Strike battleship with railguns and the mega beam cannon. Found that for things like the aegis shields and boosters, you click on them, then hover your cursor over a part and hit T to make them target that part. The glowing white parts are the ones protected by the shields.

As a registered user of GameMaker myself...all I can say is wow. I can't believe that it WAS made in GameMaker...looks like I've got a ways to go, huh? lol My only big complaint is that the mouse becomes WAAY too sensitive when placing parts for your ships. Unless that's just me. Oh, and hit F1. Help stuff, tada!
