Nice. The race portrait looks hand drawn. Did you do it yourself?

Re: Need Ai
 

the race portrait is a picture i've had laying around with some modifications i made to better "fit" the shipset. Is the masking any better?

Re: Need Ai
 

Quick Question: Do you think I made the carriers leaning forward too much? I can't decide if they look alright or if I should straighten them out a little. Looking for some feedback.

Re: Need Ai
 

Coolness. It's a good looking set of ships. Made them with DoGA CGA L2, yes? I need to turn more ship designers on to that program.

Re: Need Ai
 

yes zircher thats exactly what i used. saw it in the how to make shipsets thread and decided to try it out. The Vandron are the result.

The only problem with that program is that you can't change the background to black. Its set to a turquoise color. So after i render each ship i have to change the background using paint. Thats why some of the ships look rough around the edges.

I think the carriers are fine. You could change the angle if you wanted but then you'd have to do the same with all of the other images.

Re: Need Ai
 

Ok heres the latest. Added shields, explosion, main, weapon platforms, and colony ship

comments and critcisms wanted http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Need Ai
 

chewy027,

It does not look like someones first shipset. Generally the ships look really good. the dreadnought looks like a dreadnought (didn't i see a sign on the side of it that says "don't mess with me").

Just downloaded them to see them with the style tester. Man, they look damn good. Can't wait to use them.

The only thing that I think is not 100% is the fact that the colony ship looks like it does not fit in with your other designs. Maybe too many bubbles? The other ships have ver sleek lines to them. Maybe you could design the colony ship like that, but make it more bulkier or boxier, not bubblier???

BTW, what program did you use?

Hey thanks for the compliments Kadste http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif Yeah the colony ship is a little different i guess i can play around with it. Thanks for the feedback.

I used a program called DoGA CGA L2. I saw it being discussed in the "How do you make a shipset" thread so i decided to give it a try and the Vandron are the result http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Re: Need Ai
 

ok the latest: added fleet pick (is it to crowded), bases, alternate colony ship (tell me which you like better), and drone. I should have the transports finished tomorrow and maybe the troops too http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif then Alpha Kodiak and I will start full bLast on the AI !!
