Contest Results

This contests subject: "Spec Ops Frigate" (Vanilla)--- Mission Briefing ---The blockade of asteroid G9-407-L51 was mostly successful, however a few smugglers did manage to escape and have now resorted to outright piracy. This is unacceptable. The blockade sensors were able to get detailed tracking data on most of the escapees. Your mission is to eliminate these upstart pirates at the attached coordinates.Long range scans suggest light to moderate defenses. You are authorized standard weapony and a drone of your choice to infiltrate the pirate base and disable its' power generation. You will then provide site security until a salvage vessal can be dispatched. Upon arrival of the salvage vessel contact Fleet Command for your next assignment.--- End Briefing ------Attachment Included ---Kilroy And I had some fun testing out the exterior defenses to make sure they were not insurmountable. You can watch the vid below, or click the link to open in Youtube.( I don't know about you folks but my steam main client locks up when viewing vids )Kilroy shows everyone what not to do... :PThis months topic is Special Operations Frigate.Prizes to be announced.Deadline:The contest will end on Jun 29, 23:59 (UTC). You will have four weeks to complete your build. We will not accept any submissions afterwards. The contest is closing one day early to avoid closing on patch day.The UESC wants to reach out into the community, providing a whole new way to enjoy Space Engineers. So to provide amusement and joy for the Space Engineers community as a whole, we decided to host a competition on a monthly basis with prizes in the form of games.Every month, with every new contest, there will be a new topic, defining the type of your creation. If you were able to build anything your imagination can offer, then the judges would have a really tough time!Since part of the contests goals is community involvement, each month you will be asked to create a new construction, so community members can share ideas and experiences towards a similar goal! And perhaps make some new friends! Dropping in, and posting a ship that happens to meet the construction requirements then wandering off until the results are in, is not the type of atmosphere we hope to foster.The UESC is able to offer prizes in the form of video games, or, in exceptional cases, honorary positions or actions. These video games, which are the main prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, will be sent to the winners in the form of Steam keys or download links.All the games will come from HumbleBundle [ www.humblebundle.com ], which means that the winners will get their free games, the money goes to charity and everyone is happy!This months prizes are sponsored by the UESC and Keen Software House!Assassin's Creed - RogueRisenSacred 3 (Gold)1. You may use spliced small grids on the frigate for decoration / functionality.2. Voxels will be destructible. How your drone gains entry is up to you.3. Power & Life Support, gyros and batteries do not need to be in this room and can be placed throughout the hull.4. Ship must have power, a functioning command seat, 1 gyroscope and 1 thruster in each direction, and 1 working weapon system to be considered functional.Testing will be done with the world set asand using thebranch.Your entry will be flown to within approximately 300m of the asteroid and pilot your entry around the asteroid attempting to avoid incoming fire. Your ship must survive the pirate defenses as well as neutralize / destroy them.At this point, your ship will launch a drone to enter the pirate facility and disable / destroy the pirate base power supplies. At this point the "mission" will be considered complete.You will be rated on an average of four different aspects, for this contest those are: Features, Maneuverability, Durability, and Mission completion. Each category is out of 25 points for a total of 100. Missing one of the "must have's" in the above list will penalize you -15 pts from overall score. Final scores will be average from a panel of three anonymous judges. I do not vote. Overkill can diminish your points; this way you will have to make different design choices. (see comment below about overkill)Features - (Ship 0 - 20) / (Drone 0 - 5)Maneuverability - (Ship 0 -20) / (Drone 0 - 5)Durability - (Ship 0 - 15) / (Drone 0 - 10)Mission Completion - (0 - 25)This is a new category for scoring. Please supply feedback. While it is "IN" for this contest, your comments will decide whether it shows up in the future.Mission Completeness will be judged as follows:Please keep in mind, that part of this particular maps objectives includes securing the facility until a salvage crew arrives. This means a person who damages / destroys excessive amounts of blocks in the base will score lower ( Mission Completion ) than someone who uses precision strikes.Note: Destruction of exterior asteroid defenses is intended and will not be held against you.We get asked this a lot so here are some examples of what will earn you the -15 pts for overkill.These are just examples. Awarding the overkill penalty is left up to the judges and they will explain why you garnered the penalty in their comments. Generally though as long as you build sensibly and stay within the spirit of the rules your fine.No. This is a vanilla contest. You may however use any in-game scripts found on the workshop, or that you create yourself without undergoing sanctions.Everyone can enter the contest, you do not need to be, nor become a member of the UESC, even though new members are highly appreciated and always welcome.
