Hmm, I thought you were getting rid of the SS/BP distinction for the Neutron BLasters...

This was posted before I did that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

AST is Advanced Storage Techniques, BTW; Fyron changed it from "more planetary storage" to "better Versions of all cargo carrying components"

I replaced the old AST with Subterranean Race. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif AST affects "cargo" facilities as well.

Growth Chamber is the Organic Race SY component/facility.

Wooden Armor is the first armor available to Magic races.

Golgi Complex is the Organic cargo storing facility. They use Golgi Bodies (or something... I forget) for their cargo bays. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Does the facilities that are written as (ruins) must be drawn as ruined buildings ?

The idea is that the colonists find the device on a planet, then have to do research to use them. So, the actual facility picture is more what the empire builds after learning to use the devices.

Well... one Mr. Camulus has been contracted to fulfill my order. Boy, are you guys in for a treat! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Contracting Component/Facility Artists

Just an idea about magical race components: replace current magical "weapons" (actually spells) with scrolls or runes with different symbols. This is good because of: a) it will fit magic idea better; b) it will be easier for arists to make new componets images (you need a template for scroll or rune and a bit of creativity to draw symbol). How do you like it, Fyron?

Re: Contracting Component/Facility Artists

Maybe something based on an MC Escher pic. Just an idea.

Re: Contracting Component/Facility Artists

Or you could use the cliche "bottles of coloured fluid" for various magic components. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

The current magic weapon images are used because they are in the image mod already. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif A magic weapon is more like a staff or other sort of device that is enchanted to be able to cast the spells. The spells are not necessarily cast by a mage every time the spelljammer fires its weapons.

Re: Contracting Component/Facility Artists

There's nothing like a couple of big giant "bottles of coloured fluid" with bubbles on a Spelljammer to make it a bad day for any physical race. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Contracting Component/Facility Artists

Good thing there would never be any silly bottles of colored fluid.
