Starship Troopers, right? In the finale "March on to Victory" mini-ad where they say "We got the guns! We got the ships! But we need troops! and so on and on."

Wow! That is one sweet looking ship Trooper. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I want the whole shipset now! Please. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

One suggestion I'd make is to give it just a bit of color or a decal or something. Anything to add more then just plain silver. But if you don't, it will still be a great shipset. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Ragnarok; no, you won't have it now, it will be a long and painfull process, as usual. Especially long this time, as I'm probably going back to work soon...

Yes, I'll put more color on some parts, this silver gray is nice but quite uniform...

Looking very good. Metallic shipsets are a very dangerous thing as they can look terrible or they can look amazing (like the Federal Union) This one trooper falls into the amazing Category http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I really like the overall look of that ship, it's not very alien though, more like something humanoids would build (obviously cos it was humans who made it in starship troppers) I like the look of the engines as well, they seem to grab my attention. Overall looking good!

I dunno... the Federal Union looks pretty bland to me.

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

It kind of reminds me of the Thunderbirds animated show....and Starship troopers...

i always liked the FU. partly, because it gave me an excuse to say FU alot.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I agree. I am now very much looking forward to pitting Trooper's new shipset against Atrocities' Pandoran shipset in a nice, gritty style game. Should be massively fun.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's one thing that's always kind of bothered me about some of the shipsets that come out. In the case of spaceships, convergeant evolution is bound to happen, so ships will start looking the same, even if they are built by other races. Design differences are bound to make them unique to a species, as each race has a somewhat different set of design requirements. But then that's just me. I don't mind the wild and crazy shipsets that much, but I like the more "down to Earth" ones myself. There's so many ways to make the industrial style ships unique and interesting.

At one point, I wanted to make some shipsets from Jovian Chronicles, specifically Earth and Jupiter's respective space fleets. Unfortunately, the ships in Jovian Chronicles are long and slender, which does not translate well into SEIV sprites, sadly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
