<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Will do on the scan. I'll do them this weekend and post a link on Monday. They are black and white, but detailed. IIRC, they also give ship names and designations. Maybe I'll do a shiplist.txt...

You can find that book and the game both on some of those links, but I can't find a nice, neat "click here to purchase" site. I actually found the tech manual at a SciFi book store/gaming store in Harvard Square, Cambridge.

I also found a place Online that sells the 3rd series, which I never saw on TV. First was Quest for Iscandar, then the Comet Empire, and third was The Bolar Wars. I bought the 1st DVD in the Bolar Wars just yesterday, probably show up in a week.

What program do you use to make these sets?

Thanks again for the EDF!

Ok, so I scanned in some pictures. There are no EDF tanks, so I scanned in the Gamelon one (iirc, the EDF had similar tanks, but mostly used Marines):

Other than the Troops, your designs are right on and capture the whole look and feel of Starblazers. I used them Last weekend, had a great time with them.

Id certainly love to see a gamelon and Comet empire shipset redone)))--so theres another Vote)))--haha. Also if anyone makes a comet empire shipset --try to make the Baseship the actual Comet/ city on top--as the Biggest ship. This seems logical cause if it were a starbse it be stationary--and in the show that badboy moved across the stars. The EDF shipset is superb BTW--Im a huge fan of the show and am planning on getting the second and third series DVD's in a few weeks. Once you have the images for the shipsets you can also use the "older shipsets" as reference for colors, or as a further basis to create a design from. OK back to my star trek mod game now--just got attacked by the Romulans--and that cant go unpunished)))

Re: Starblaszers Ship Sets (EDF / Gamilon)
 
Does anyone know where I can pick up the Star Blazers dvd's for cheaper than what they're usually going for? I was fortunate to find the Last 3 of series 1 and the first 4 of series 2 at a used cd/movie place for $10 a piece. The movie store where I get most of my new movies usually sells them for $29.95 apiece. So I saved myself a bunch of dough, but I don't feel like paying the $60 for the other 2 dvd's I need to complete the second series.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This site has them for $20 each, but with shipping, its still closer to $30.

https://www.starblazers.com/SBphp/co...p#instructions

I picked up the first Bolar Wars DVD from them.

Bolar Wars is just not good. Maybe this is a case of me just having grown up, but the plot is thin, acting/dubbing bad and in 4 episodes (haven't watched the 5th yet) the action has been very lean.

You can never go home.....

Re: Starblaszers Ship Sets (EDF / Gamilon)
 
Brilliant job on the EDF shipset. Beats the hell out of my screencaps of painted models done up in Windows Paint. I'm glad there was enough interest out there in Starblazers to inspire this set. Atrocities, if you're keen on doing up the Gamilons and White Comet Empire, I still have the screencap shipsets I did up ages ago. As with the old EDF set, the potrait pics are screencaps of the die cast models released for the ship classes from the first two Starblazers series.

All of the above, really. Fell out of touch with the SEIV community owing to an extreme case of workaholism. Stumbled upon SEIV Gold fairly recently and was inspired to start peering back in for new shipsets. And from what I have seen so far, there are a great many truly outstanding new shipsets floating around.

In just over 24 hours I will no longer have access to the web. I will have only a very limited dial up service, 14.4 - connection at best, to upload and download turns for my PBW games. On average it takes about an hour to download just a couple of turns so uploading large files, such as ship sets, is out of the question.

I really want to cry about RL, but we all face it and there is nothing that any of us can do but try to get along with it.

Add the EDF to the Neo-Standard complaint Ship Sets now.

I added all of the neo ships/bases/other and fixed the mine group portrait, replaced all of the troop images with better looking images.

The funny thing is, no one reported the mine group error. That means no very few people, perhaps one or two, actually downloaded the set. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

This does not boad well for any future sets from the Starblazer universe.

Well, I might have been the third person to download the set. I just haven't unzipped it yet, so therefore didn't notice any errors. But I am very much in favor of any and all Starblazer shipsets. I've downloaded all that I could find, but I have so many sets at the moment I just haven't been able to uncompress them all yet. But if anyone is thinking about making a Starblazers universe, count me in.

Re: Starblaszers Ship Sets (EDF / Gamilon)
 
thanks for that u[pdate--I for one am a fan of the series, and i use the set in 2 modded games i am playing. I did not notice any mine errors. If you have an EDf shipset--it just seems natural to have the Gamilons and Comet empire--as companion shipsets. Maybe ill make a poll to see if anyone will be interested in seeing these sets come out. I do understand that making the sets is time consuming--and that you have mod responsibilities as well--so maybe a poll will spur interest. This thread has also been buried down deep on page 5 or so--so maybe people arent aware???. IThanks again for the effort and consideration so far--its a great set.

Atrocities November 27th, 2003 08:32 AM

Re: Starblaszers Ship Sets (EDF / Gamilon)
 
Making the sets is really not all that time consuming once I have the basic ship design built.

If I have a good model to go on I can normally have a working prototype ship within an hour or so, and a complete set in eight hours. That is working on it without interruption or worries.

I will see what I can do about getting the set off the ground. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Who knows, something good has got to happen soon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Besides, making ships seems to be a nice diVersion.

Re: Starblaszers Ship Sets (EDF / Gamilon)
 
Here are two prototypes. I will do some more tweaking on them when I have time. Please keep in mind that Doga is not an exacting program so there will be some distortion in the designs compared to the actual ship as seen in the TV series or other.

I am working on the Gamilon at this point, and will do ships as I get time.

These ships are not yet sized to scale and understand that I will have to take some creative license with the ships and sets in order to accomplish the goal of creating a complete set.
