Re: Dragon Shipset (looking for AI maker)
 

With all due respect, I liked the old racial portrait better then the new Cephalopien one. Is there anywhere I can get it? BTW Kudos to you and your brother, for truely interesting shipsets.

Very nice looking pic.

Will this be a player race? Curious because it would be a little wierd with a bridge and crew looking out through real dragon eyes, but heh it is a mechanical dragon kinda like Mecha-Godzilla.

Does it have a unique racial profile to choose?

Re: Dragon Shipset (looking for AI maker)
 

Very, very nice sample pic. I suppose it has been made with a elaborated toll like povray ?

Same question as below, It will be strange to add engines and auto-destruction device on a dragon !

"I have sent an email to Deathstalker, but he hasn't been very active lately. Actually he hasn't been very active ever since he got married.
So I'd better look for another AI expert for help."

Lol, too true. j/k. Actually its a combination of things that has slowed me down in my se4 production. Work (about 45hrs/wk), married life, and an annoying little addiction called Magic the Gathering Online. That and I'll be honest, after almost 2 years (or maybe it has been more), I'm burnt out on se4. I havn't made an AI in ages and I've even neglected my Mount Mod (and there are probally some PBW game owners/players who want to string me up for my slow turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ).

As to the dragons, I've always said this shipset rocked (had a beta on my hard drive for ages), Andres and Damien have done amazing work over the years http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif . I originally envisioned the dragons as a combo Organic/Psychic race but whoever wants to make the AI (I'm just not up to speed on all the new 'gold' options for AI making, I'd just muck it up) can do what they feel best.

That and Andres has let me know that people have mentioned that my old AI for the Empire (star wars) is less than challenging. If anyone would like to see what they can do with this one as well you have my blessing as I don't think I have the skills to make it the AI it deserves (or the patience anymore).

I still lurk around (this is still my homepage http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ) and will post from time to time but I think my days of se4 will be very sporadic in the future (though I'm looking forward to the next games in the series). There will be a final Mount Mod in the next little while (honest http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif ) but its back to lurking for now.....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A thousand apologies. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Thank you for reminding me. I have that set, and feel horribly for having not mentioned it.

The Critter Sets are often some of the most interesting to play with. That is next to the Plant sets and the Energy Race Sets. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Dragon Shipset (looking for AI maker)
 

By the way Andres, you were thinking some time ago of an update of your shipset list... still in project ?
Such a page would be greatly usefull...

Re: Dragon Shipset (looking for AI maker)
 

plonk.

Re: Dragon Shipset (looking for AI maker)
 

I guess you want a progress report.
ES-DN, transports, fighters, Race portrait and pop are ready and I'm satisfied with them.
Bases and WPs and troops are half made or I'm not completely satisfied and want to remake/tweak.

No one has volunteered to help with the AI.
Should I post Deathsalker's AI files so anyone can revise them. I don't want to post the pics until I consider them finished and don't want to release a shipset with a poor AI when I finish the pics.

About the races list I'll reply in its own thread.
