Definitely When I feel like it xD, HNY too!

Update no? Mk2 when?
Also happy new year!

this is beautiful. and the turtles have come such a long way! i pray you keep it goin

it wasn't me who took up the challenge submissions, but if you wanna fight anything I have you can go ahead and do so

Do you still take challenge submissions?

When the turtles have had enough of plastic pollution

.... crashed my game lol

10/10

and you can also set it its combat altitude to a negative point so yeah, it does go underwater by itself, it'll just take a bit of time

Yes It can go underwater if you hold down the button long enought, and oh, I should mention the current turtle's back right fin's propellers does not turn the turtle

Yo can it go underwater like a real turtle

We'll yeah, its just a my epitome of cram and armour (and some difs) and it succeeds in it perfectly

This is super well-made. Out of the dozens of ships I have downloaded, this performed better against a 5 million cost ship than some of the 8 million cost ships that its faced and definitely better than any other 1-2 million cost ships. However, this ship does very poorly against air and small fast targets.

for the largest viable ship i've ever seen, i'm glad it's as weird and Cram-y as it is

I also want to add- I started a tourney challenge on the Arena discord to see if anyone will actually do it. Rules are thus:

Go find Turtlelord by E Lord on the Steam workshop and download it. Inspect it all you want, dissect it, learn its secrets...

Then try to build an equally costed or less surface vessel that beats it. Must be a surface displacement vessel; cannot fly or dive under water to do this. Also cannot cost more than the Turtlelord (1,939,160 materials).

Banned: Repair bots/tentacles, multiple vehicles (including subvehicles and separator vehicles), spinclipping blocks into other blocks.

Other than that, have at it- if it can be done in the game you can do it. The first person to submit a bp in the discussion and bps channel (on the Arena discord server) that I download and have fight the Turtlelord which wins, will win a $20 Steam gift card. First come, first serve! Keep going until someone wins!

Congratulations, you win the meta. ^_^ Defeat it? No. I only managed to get it down to 88.4% in my first trial run with my own equally costed ship (175k). Four layers of staggered ERA, then HA halfbeams, before getting into the delicious CRAM bits. Lives up to being a turtle, I'd say. ;)

The way I'd say someone would probably need to go about beating this would be with some combination of missiles/torpedoes, preferably from above/below, as it doesn't have defenses against them. The shields won't bounce/stop them, and it's foregone LAMS for Gaara level armor and marine core mindset offense. I'd say that the EMP saturation feels cheaty, because EMP these days, but we all have to live with it, so you're just doing super meta stuff there; it would take specialization to build to beat this.

And you've made it look great, so this does get badass points. ^_^

Omg, I love this community, my ship is in the launcher menu! Its just a big tutel and people like it :D thank you guys

"Engine is nature friendly" the ship is 10/10 just based on that one quip in the description.

If there's a will, then there's a way - The Almighty Master Oogway

Yea, cant imagine how the idea came to build a Giant Frontsider Turtle, you just mind your own buissnes and then boom, Flying washing machine.
The final product will look amazing, like Good Job Brother.
LORD God bless you.
