Of the Original set, I play the Terrans the most.

Of new sets, the Starwolf the most. I just love the look of that set.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmmm ... I often though of that, but never got one of those round tuits. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Could post a few small (I mean it) pictures so I could see what you've done?

I don't think any picures are ugly per se, it's just that the portraits have a CGI look that's a little harsh when you first see them. But you get used to it. I really think the design, highlights, patterns are pretty good.

The Jarenar are excellent, the pattern of the Phong skin is interesting, the shadow on the face of the Ukra-Tal(they look evil, but they're not, funny). The CueCappa color scheme seems to make them glow. All pretty cool.

Cytherians... mwhahah i had a raceset made for me... thanks again hadrian

Re: What Race Do You Play The Most?
 

I also generally try to play a new race each time... there are so many excellent shipsets available. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

This is a good opportunity to give "mad props" uhhh... I mean thanks... to the artists behind some of my Favorites:

Narn (great colors and textures)
Eysk (just darn cool)
Ixaris (very alien looking, damn scary)
PaceanOne (beautiful work)
Star Empire of Romii (perfect for the "flying saucer" effect)
Vidrihne (very sweet; especially against the dark backdrop, like nothing else)

So thanks for the great work. I also like many many more, but these seem to stand out for me right now.

Re: What Race Do You Play The Most?
 

In the original game I tend to favor the Terrans (survival of the speceis and all that) though I also like the Xiati and the Norak.

For moddded races I usually use my Borg (perhaps I'll post that race mod some day) And TerranC's Sol Coalition. I replaced the main and population pictures, I can't stand those cartoony pics (no offense Dogscoff), and renamed them as the Technocratic Enclave. Also reworked the physical, society, and history sections a bit. They have since served me well.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Here are a few. I gleaned these from the internet. I have also used some of the pics from MOO3 - but naturally I cannot distribute those.

Great pictures ! Thanks a lot !

Re: What Race Do You Play The Most?
 

related to the pictures, i jsut have to say: these are good but all are humanoids, without SHAPE variety the game is never realy varied, IMO.
