Well, I bought Captain Successor, which is pretty awesome and much more varied. It gives it more of a roguelike feel, because you’re finding more things than just lasers, boosters, and the occasional prismatic laser. There are shield, LR lasers, boosters that turn, boosters that are huge, girders that are huge, ramming spikes, all kinds of stuff.
If Battleships forever had a skirmish mode that allowed you to ransack enemies and attach what you take from them it’d be sweet.
Oh, by the way, I just defeated the game, so to speak.
I killed a Kilo-type at the “???” difficulty level. Boy, those things are MURDER.
After that, the kilo core goes to the center of the screen and explodes in a prismatic fashion…which does jack shit for you, rally. You then get to have free-roam of sorts where all kinds of ships are released in at random, seemingly, and no more buoys or levels.
Wow, nice job, I pretty much always die on India.
Just be a lamer and help them bastards frag themselves, then help yourself to the loot left behind.
Once you make a ship out of Kilo class objects you’re pretty much dominating, provided that you know how to construct your vessel well enough.
Here’s a small ship of mine that I didn’t get the time to sort up properly before a bunch of Indias moved on my butt and fragged me off, so you’ll need to arrange the boosters and weapons to make it work properly. I’d propose you move the middle booster to the opposite far end at the left. Then plug the laser at the far right in the middle bottom for rear cover (which, honestly, is almost never of use in the game). Your maneuverability will be limited. You’ll rotate very fast when you’re idle, but when thrusting you’ll be very stiff.
But otherwise it’ll give you an excellent starting position to build from. You can even destroy those two annoying buoys with a single hit for target practice (yep, you’re that powerful now).
Just tap the url and it should give you the ship instead of the useless one you begin with.

A friend of mine threw together a quick ship database; you can upload and play right from there as well:
He’ll probably have one for Capt Successor soon, too. :)
Well this is nice…been experimenting around and found out that:

produces you an uber spread laser that you can rape the entire game with.
Just relocate it to a more fitting position and let her rip.
XD
I just had a game where I rocked a Juliet, started assembling my Juliet ship, and got just destroyed by a kilo level ownage machine. It was pretty awesome.
EDIT: Heh, that’s an impossible ship you made up there, Foxstab!
I screwed with the url trying to figure out the codex and got this.
Just break it apart and rebuild it. An alpha grider each side, above each attach a booster for improved maneuverability and the spread laser remount on top of the core.
That thing can blow up ANYTHING in the game. It has immense damage and the longest range (just a tad bit longer than a Kilo blaster). So just aim and hit spacebar. Once you get to go vs Kilos you can use it to frag them and assemble yourself a real entire ship of doom.
