Introduction
Battleships Forever is a tactical RTS that put's you in command of a small fleet of warships. Combat and damage mechanics are extremely detailed. Everything is simluated in game if possible. There are no abitrary "to hit chance" values in Battleships Forever. The game also features many innovative mechanics that you've never seen before. For example, the Cronus Battleship sports a Flux Shield generator that allows you to construct a draw a defensive force shield around your ships in any shape you want. Another example are the Deflector modules that are used extensively through the game. These modules make a single section of a ship totally invulnerable to fire. This means that you will have to manoeuvre your ships to attack sections of the enemy ships not protected by Deflectors while keeping your own protected sections facing the enemy. Position is paramount!

Players will command picked fleets made up of Battleships, Destroyers and Patrol Craft. The completed game will include ten campaign missions and multiple skirmish modes.


Battleships Forever is inspired by and loosely based on Warning Forever by Hikoza.T.Ohkubo

About The Ships
Each warship is modeled to meticulous detail. Your ships can be controlled to drift in one direction while facing another direction for strafing attacks. Each section of your ship is an object on it's own. If a section is destroyed, any child sections that were connected to the core of your ship through that section will also be destroyed.

This section-based modular ship system makes positioning very important. Take the Hestia-Class Assault Destroyer for example; It's sections and weapons are swept forward allowing it to concentrate it's fire to the front. At the same time, the Hestia is vulnerable to rear attacks which can destroy it's wing's connection strut, thus destroying the entire wing in one blow.

There are 19 playable ships available:
-Cronus Battleship
-Peitho Monitor
-Hecate Dreadnought
-Athena
-Arcas Carrier
-Eos Cruiser

-Hestia Assault Destroyer
-Hestia Alpha
-Enyo
-Oenone Laser Destroer
-Sinope
-Helios Defence Destroyer
-Tmolus
-Moira Torpedo Destroyer
-Moira X

-Proteus Gunship
-Zelus Attack Boat
-Thetis Drone Carrier
-Aedon Bombardier

In the campaign and skirmish modes, you will face more than fifty types of enemy craft!

About The Weapons
Each turret is individually articulated and has its own firing arc, range, turning speed and health. Turrets can be individually destroyed in order to de-tooth an enemy. Beams will even rake across the enemy ship's hull, tracing out a trail of destruction.

The Hestia in particular is vulnerable to having it's forward blaster turrets blown off, greatly reducing it's efficiency.

Active defences are also a major part of your tactics in Battleships Forever. Many ships are equipped with interceptor turrets that shoot down incoming projectiles. Maximizing your interceptor coverage to nullify enemy firepower is the key the victory.
