3Rd Bi-Weekly Contest!

[Sister Sequoia 438]

Alright, I've looked through them all, gave them a couple days to wear on me, then went back and looked again to see if they retained the same appeal. I looked for smart design and staying power, and I have come up with the three winners, plus some honorable mentions that I loved certain aspects of the ships.

I judged harshly on a 1-10 scale, with 1/2's included, looking for any flaw, anything out of proportion, and anything that detracted from the aesthetic of the ship. No one was below a 5 rating, and no one was above an 8 rating, so it was all fairly close, and I thank everyone for participating, your ships will be saved and if there is need of a random ship in the future, we'll take a look at the entries and see if they can be fit in.

FIRST PLACE::

Jinq, with his lovely unnamed entry! Please pick a name for your ship, it deserves it! I love the attention to detail and the variety of use the ship has. My only issue is the size, but damnit it makes up for it! Congratulations!!!

SECOND PLACE::

Z3r05t4r and friends, with the "Galter" entry on their submission! I like that it was a team effort, and while the smaller ship on the save was also nice, the "Galter" blew me away, and I love the balistas instead of cannons, feels very Elven to me! Congrats!

THIRD PLACE::

Kanrath, with "The Emerald Creeper" submission! I like the interior very much, and the entire ship is pretty well designed. A little more variety on the sides (patterns with different plank types, etc) would add more to the design, but I very much like it! Congrats!

HONORABLE MENTIONS::

Bazza546 for his "The Nightshadow" entry! I love the hull, but the sails are, well, crap. Sorry bud :P Very nice effort though! And don't sweat it, I suck at sails too.

Gunnerdude for their small ship design. I was glad to see a few smaller ships, and this one almost made it into the top 3 for it's simplicity and good design. Excellent work!

Congratulations to the winners and honorable mentions, and thank you to everyone that entered!

The ship's name is Galtor. Named after Galtor the First, Founder of the Line of Galtor I. of House Stafyr. ;)

Regardless, it was nice to be able to participate in it with two of my House members.

Good job guys!

[Jinq 1]

I call her the Carnival. Also, I really liked the ballistae on the Galtor! I took note of them when touring the ship and will probably use them on future builds where large weaponry is needed. I think they're an awesome alternative to cannons, and you guys did a good job designing them!

Good job, everyone! This was fun.
