Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well, I'm commenting. First of all, I like that you've made them all different attiributes. Pro Explorer and Antimatter Booster I was thinking god above to start before I did the maths. A searcher is key but making it a tuner. Ramjet = Top deck shenanigans. Great name too. Spaceplane seems to me to be having it a bit both ways. It needs you to already control a machine to gain the normal summon of a third monster, but then that kinda defies the point of it having the two tribute effect if you've already got two monsters. Island Three.... any card? Any at all? That's how bad tributing has become. Now I see why for Spaceplane (you just about worded the effect so it works). Makes up for minuses for tributes, more than so. ... ... But seriously... any? Extra Deck: Hmm, not usually a fan of archtypes that use 3+ methods of summoning bosses such as this (Advance, Synchro, Xyz). At least you weren't a total noob and give it Rituals and Fusions too. But since its not an archtype and they all work well together, I'll make an exception. Synchro makes me think of potential Gustav fuel for some reason. Alderton for that much effort I'd have liked a 'stops traps like Mirror Force for the turn' style effect. Great names for these cards btw. Spells and Traps: Final Frontier, great name. Warriors should immediately be killed if summoned due to being unable to breath (Yuma...) Orbital needs a level restriction really. Traps be trolling Link to comment

Nanooze and Spaceplane are supposed to work together to get out Island Three, who then pulls Machine Dupe and clones himself to get out any of the Canopy Stars. And yes, Tributing has gotten that bad. Mainly because no one really uses it anymore. I honestly think 3 Tributes for a 500 ATK monster is worth the ability to pull any card you want from your Deck or Graveyard. I like to think of Ramjet as a cousin of Rocket Arrow Express. Only my Scoopship can actually be used for something, and it doesn't prevent you from setting things. Alcubierre Warpship (the aforementioned Synchro) isn't really a boss. He is supposed to be an alternative to Tannhauser Gate if you have Prototype Explorer. Synchro him, then bring out, say, Island Three, for Canopy Star pulling. And if you (obviously) used Antimatter Booster, then that's one less minus for you. For the Canopy Stars, I thought of the idea that each one specializes in a different type of control. Dyson Sphere locks down attacks, but bypasses your opponent's monsters, Alderson Disk deals a metric crapload of damage in an en masse attack, and Klemperer Rosette stops your opponent's Spells and Traps. I mean, if you're going for a Rank 9, you might as well get something worth the minuses, right? Final Frontier, if it was in the anime, would be set on the outside of a space station orbiting Earth. The duelists would have astronaut suits, and all of the monsters would be summoned with special breathing apparati (except the Machines), armor pieces, and thruster units, similar to how Dream Pitch turned all of the monsters into soccer players. However, the Machines would be able to adapt to their new environment better than the other monsters, which is why all non-Machines get summoning sickness: They are struggling to figure out how to battle in space, and use their new gear. So, in fact, Warriors would be able to breathe. Sorry, dude. Looking back, I think you're right. Orbital Elevator is mainly there to support Generation Ship anyways. I'll downgrade it to a Normal Spell and make it so you have to send Machine-Types with 1000 or less ATK. Also, going back to the retrained cards, Pathfinder is supposed to replicate the Cosmic Frontier effect, while Gravity Blaster can be used for much more than Dyson Sphere, such as being equipped to the Gradius spaceships, and Space Gate can now be used for any Canopy Star, so your Mirror Force problem with Alderson is somewhat fixed. Finally, for the names, they're all based on sci-fi concepts, soft or hard (the soft sci-fi ideas taken from popular sci-fi franchises). Dyson Sphere made me excited when it first was announced, because I love megastructures in science fiction, with the Dyson Sphere being my favorite. And it turned out to be a pretty awesome card, so I was compelled to express my love for the majesty of space and the wonder of space exploration with these cards. Besides, you have to admit that Dyson Sphere honestly needs the support. Anyways, I do have some more cards planned, including 2 additional Canopy Stars. I'll put them up in a couple of days.

Love of Ghibli Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 As someone with an RP with you I should say something right lol? Well I love the set in general seems great. I too am skeptical about Zexal archetypes being able to synchro. It seems almost out of place almost going against the grain kind of. The different attribute is fine but I don't know if they needed Gozen Match to be considered a weakness lol. Individually: Nanooze: Why does it need such a dense restriction to follow up on a beautiful cyber dragon ability that could be layered with so many overlay shenanigans. I mean can't be used as synchro material is good because who needs to make formula an easier target but I rather like the whole concept of being able to Xyz or tribute for a monarch maybe. Island Three: I understand your feeling that adding any card to the hand is not extreme, my real concern is lets say you summoned him what can you add to your hand that would make it easier to get another level 9 on the field. Other than Monster reborn I guess. Warship: It reads like a two sac monster. With the requiring to monsters to summon it and it really only having an effect that allows you to grab something to overlay with it. Which I kind of think is interesting because the level 3 and 6 you have could do the same thing with Tauhaser (yeah pretty sure I spelled that wrong lol) gate. And that way there are less spaces for countering. Rosette: I takes dumps on Laggia all day. Yeah it can't negate summoning but who cares when a hand full of monster cards (that can kill it with a monster effect because its pretty hard to get over 3300) can even get this off the field and its perpetual so yeah it think its pretty unbalanced. Elevator: A controlled double mill with an additional special summoning from the deck. That's over the top even if you are going for small big machines I mean it give you a free card trooper. Accelerator: Is "Sky Canopy" different from "Canopy Star"? Link to comment

Accelerator: Is "Sky Canopy" different from "Canopy Star"? [/quote] TwT You have NO idea how happy I am to have you comment! Thank you so much! Anyways, onto your comments. For Nanooze, he's supposed to be a quick Tribute card. I guess I need to give him some more cards for him to work with. The perfect card for use with Island Three is Machine Duplication. He has 500 ATK, so he fits the bill. Just add a Machine Dupe to your hand to get out 2 more so yo can spam with Alderson Disk. A slight correction. It's actually "Warpship". But semantics aside, Warpship is an alternative to Tannhauser Gate, just in case you don't have one to use on Prototype Explorer and Antimatter Booster. And you still get the +1 from Booster anyways. I have been toying with the idea of a Summoning counterpart for Klemperer Rosette, and your reaction has solidified those plans! ^.^ Thanks! For Orbital Elevator, I do admit I am a fan of Lavals, and a HUGE fan of controlled milling. I mainly designed it for Generation Ship shenanigans, but I guess I need to figure out how to modify it. Any ideas? And finally, thanks for the text save on Linear Accelerator! Just edited it to fix that little error. I will be adding a few new cards very soon, including the aforementioned super-Laggia and a Gorz equivalent. And, again, that meant a lot to me. Thanks a lot. Link to comment
Love of Ghibli Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Upon further reading I realize with sets like this you actually get cards like Machine dup and Inferno Reckless Summon on the banned list lol Elevator: If you want to it to be for you generation ship shenanigans then you can have a requirement that two monsters sent to the graveyard have to have the same name and you get two special summon a weak machine with the same attribute and level. That way you don't mill two generation ships and get a card trooper. Rosette is super laggia in my opinion lol I mean its almost as easy to get out but can stay on the field a lot longer lol Is stares at the line of brokenness and laughs (if giant sun eating space colonies laugh that is lol) Link to comment
