Re: Ships and stuff
 

I think all 4 of the original pic were worthy of being turned into a complete set.

The heart looking one even. It might be built up around some organic, diplomatic, sickeningly peace-corp race that the war-mongers would simply love to stumble across.
Maybe as one of the single-system AIs. After all, we have SO MANY available now but there are still some extreme variants we can fill in so everything doesnt feel the same. Hmmm a cuddly-bunny race whose survival is based on high-population, high spread, and colonizing nearly everything.
Can they fire colored eggs at us? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif (j/k)

They look like something out of S!SG... go for it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Ships and stuff
 

Making ships seems to be more fun then I remembered. I made a less friendly looking version of the heart ship.

I have used only Pov-Ray when making these. I like to handcode stuff.

Re: Ships and stuff
 

All of these prototypes are interesting, though for the original 4 the lower right is quite 'conventional' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I like your expansion for the machine ships and the less transparent killer heart ship is nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif , would it still be possible to have an 'inside' slightly visible in it though?

Well done! Your ships have lots of promise. It is a shame that they look to high poly for SEV http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Ships and stuff
 

Very nice. This needs a shipset developed! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Ships and stuff
 

For the metallic shipset (the one you've expanded on), maybe you could add some variation across the hulls in the form of different shadings or features, unless that is how you want them to look. Just a thought.

Oh and Zarix, now that you have returned, any chance of updating your Image Mod mirror?

Re: Ships and stuff
 

It is now updated. I hope I got the versions right. Planetpack 11c should be the latest?

Re: Ships and stuff
 

Did you not update the links? I didn't see any changes. All of the currently listed files are outdated, and the Events pack is missing. The latest versions are on:

http://imagemodserver.mine.nu/other/MM/SE4/imagemod/

Also, you might want to update the listing of mirrors, also based on the mirros linked to by that same page.
