Build Your Own Deathstar

deathstardesigner.com — This tool lets you build your own Star Wars Deathstar and outfit it with everything from Ferris Wheels to Garbage Mashers. Unfortunately, Imperial construction and design bureaucracy being what they are, it is very likely that some of your choices will introduce certain vulnerabilities into the design.

  • Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -2/+61I find your lack of faith...disturbing.
  • unrealJEDI, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46impressive... most impressive
  • freff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37Does this thing come with it's own independent contractors?

    If so, I trust they understand that I cannot guarantee their safety during the course of the project..
  • schadenfreude56, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31But will it be fully functional?
  • Salmonized, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Crush the Rebellion.....

    lol...sorry..couldn't help it...
  • SonnyW, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Less than 1 in 870,000 pathetic rebel attempts will succeed in destroying my Deathstar.

    Feeling lucky, punks?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20It's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-sixteen back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
  • steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19except for that 3-meter hole that anyone can just fly up to, shoot into, and destroy ever'thang!

    Its 2 meters.
  • subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
  • pmace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Kind of cool at first, but there doesn't seem to be a point... you don't get to test it out or anything.

    Would be kind of fun to see the Emperor and Darth Vader riding around on the roller coaster.
  • chipitople, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17i'm confused--is it actually a game or just a cheesy promotion for a game?
  • badave, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16@SonnyW

    In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
  • dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I got you covered for Darth Vader:

  • Giggy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I hope many Bothan spies died to get this information. Looks cool. I'll play it later.
  • freedompower, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I finished my deathstar, now what? I don't get it.
  • typo180, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11@jrocknyc

    That's impossible...even for a computer to hit.
  • LouCypher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10@typo180

    Search your feelings... you know it to be true
  • NinjAlt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12WE GOT DEATH STAR!
  • FathomX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I actually built a Death Star w/ 1 in 5,100,000 chances of successful attack with no weaknesses! No thermal exhaust ports, not overbudget, no garbage compactor creatures, no place for spies to hang out!

  • Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Note the "playable web games" subcategory.
  • tfedullo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5gotta watch out for those spa spies...
  • chewitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4the second one.

    the next part of the game after picking your features is... well, a webpage. the end.
  • jwasko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by?
  • Ikthog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Cute idea... too bad they didn't include more of a payoff. I love the little touches like the ferris wheel and the rollercoaster, though. I could see this being a full-fledged sim game, kind of an Evil Genius/Dungeon Master... in space!
  • B3bomber, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4http://www.deathstardesigner.com/station/4349
    1 in 5,500,000. Lets see who can beat that.

    Anti-fighter turrets? They can't hope to scratch the paint job, why bother?
  • typo180, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Noooooooooooooooooooo1!!!
  • djAnakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Retreat? In our moment of triumph? Surely you overestimate their chances.
  • Xeth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Spacefoil FTW.
  • scoobydiesel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3they should have had it so you could battle other DS's people have built, other wise it was fun
  • dougm68, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm having difficulty with tile flooring in my bathroom.
    I think this death star project is outta my skill set.

    I told my church i needed help building a round barn in my backyard though. Hopefully someone will have some skeelz. =P
  • ermau, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's a toy game meant to promote this game:
    http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=5065

    Notice the "Visit official site" in the top right on the Death Star page.
  • pmace, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Congratulations - your "King of the Nerds" certificate is in the mail.
  • CapnMarrrrk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5That's awesome!

    There is no way the Rebel scum can possibly defeat us. At least not with their snub fighters.
  • cptnstup1d, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The title alone "Build your own Deathstar" was enough.

    Imagine the possibilities. This could be a great article for Practical Galactic Emperor.
  • Iconwolf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Would be kind of fun to see the Emperor and Darth Vader riding around on the roller coaster."

    Set to the theme of Red Hot Chili Pepper's song?? bwhahaha
  • birdwatcher3000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Less than 1 in 5,000,000.
    http://www.deathstardesigner.com/station/26331

    Feeling lucky Rebel scum?

    PS
    The game cheated by the way. Firepower, according to stats should be 50 but for some reason it came out as 49. I foresee the death of many many engineers who can't build something right.
  • jwasko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Especially Borsk Fey'lya...man I hate that guy.
  • tinman79, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If you build one, you totally have to put on a spoiler...err...spacefoil. That's right its pimp my deathstar.
  • mpopgun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A little more calculation goes a little further :)

    http://www.deathstardesigner.com/station/9204
    Less than 1 in 6,000,000 with a 15,660 overall.

    Anybody know what the max possible score is supposed to be?
  • Strabo4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lol nice.
  • KarthVader, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. It's defenses are designed around a direct, large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense...
  • tinman79, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2...and a very nice use of the spoiler..I mean..space foil as well.
  • OCedHrt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.deathstardesigner.com/station/8464

    Is there a point?
  • scott1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Show it off:

    http://www.deathstardesigner.com/station/5224
  • FathomX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Mine has anti-fighter turrets, a bigger superweapon, and no weaknesses beeeyotch
  • ooMissioNoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is it me
    or is this the worst game that has been ever created
  • raybury, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Just tell the banker you want to open a sports bar.
  • Dpack1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Scored 982 on my first build (and 9billion under budget), anyone beat it?

    Oh and obligatory Star Wars quote:

    IT'S A TRAP!
  • Ignignokt01, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3This has almost no replay value whatsoever, but its still kinda cool.
