''Battleships Forever'' is an indie real-time tactics game heavily inspired by ''[[Warning Forever (Video Game)|Warning Forever]]'', where the player is controlling spaceships. The main game has an eight-mission campaign (the ninth and tenth missions are not yet completed) but the real draw is the ability to create your own spaceships using the bundled Ship Maker program, and a wide array of custom sprites.

Line 10:
* [[Battleship Raid]]: The "Leviathan" scenario. Nothing but your fleet and a gigantic alien battle station.
* [[Beam Spam]]: The ''Oenone''-class destroyer is designed to bring this to bear. The Cronus battleship has even more lasers.
* [[Cognizant Limbs]]: As with ''[[Warning Forever (Video Game)|Warning Forever]]'', every individual section, module or weapon can be targeted, allowing you to pick ships apart.
* [[Cutscene Power to Thethe Max]]: [[T He]] final mission, Stronghold, has a formation of five ships using deflector shields to form an impenetrable frontal line. It doesn't work as well once the attack starts from all directions.
* [[Deflector Shields]]: Two types are available. One shields any section from damage for a limited time while the other shields one section without fail.
* [[Escape Pod]]: Nagaya uses them whenever her craft gets destroyed.
Line 25:
* [[Numerical Hard]]: Enemy health is adjusted according to difficulty, being either 40%, 100% or 150%. This amount alone can be a difference between an instant kill and a fast kill.
* [[Recursive Ammo]]: Conventional and Nuclear MIRV/Cluster Missiles. Also, the Gosling Launcher.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The [[Missile Command]] or [[Homeworld (Video Game)|Homeworld]] missile/thruster trails.
* [[Shooting Superman]]: "Stronghold" kicks off with a scripted battle as a cleverly arranged formation uses their deflectors to block all attacks from one direction. Fine. Then, 3 battleships which are immune to attack from the front jump in, and the commander orders his fleet to keep firing and hold their formation, rather than attack from an angle that could actually damage them. And [[Hollywood Tactics|the formation was useless anyway]], because two of the battleships started in positions that outflanked it. Thanks for leaving the player with 3 undamaged enemy battleships tearing up the base, Mr. Unnamed Commander!
* [[Space Based Weapon Has Cutoff Range]]
