Re: Fraxy.
Very cool. I love these user generated content games. The editor on this one makes things especially easy to create. No messing with your own sprites or trying to translate text files. Made some five distinct creations so far, though with some 5 more variants between those.

I actually think the rough armour on the 'Ultimate' has a certain style about it. Still looks a little cheep, but not that bad. I can agree that the weapons could be better mounted, since half of them and the armour blow up in a rather strange fashion once you squeeze a few hit in under the armour. (Then again without that the fight would take forever...)
I might make something similar myself. Here are mine so far...
The
Proto-Cruiser
As in prototype. My very first design, though the picture is of the MK-II. The original had zero defences at the rear, rather than the light defences seen here, and a mounting error fix at MK-II. Otherwise mostly the same. There's also a MK-III, which is ironically weaker due to using a block core instead which makes its movements much less aggressively and easier to out manuver. Added two more spot lights too because they're fun. =)
The
Sonic Tank
Second design. Turns out sonic weapons are less deadly than I imagined, which is probably a good thing since it's not easy to escape it's 360 degree turret. I might add some extra aimed/homing weapons to liven it up. Has a Hammer Head variant which uses orbiting drones. They used to have missiles which proved a little over effective. I've forgot what I replaced them with...
Attack Bomber
Plays a bit more like a missile gunship really. Aggressive and reasonably armed, especially at higher ranks when the missiles start coming in volleys of ten or so. Very easy to destroy with a few good shots. Works well paired with other bosses.
Grid Bot
A cluster of laser platforms that form an interlocking grid. Turreted needle guns fire at those caught in the grid. Only tested once. The rotation speed seemed a bit extreme and they also seemed bizarrely resistant to damage, so they need a little work still.

Defence Station UF3
Dunno what the name means, but I felt like making a big station style thing. Armed with dozens of turreted needle guns, and a few turreted 'bullet' guns that are actually double layered to increase their effective damage. Fun to dismantle.
