LOL! Love that race pic. That is so classy...

Hey, you've got a knack for this... nice ships. Really nice.
Some objective feedback:
I like the concept of the race portrait!
- but it still looks somewhat cartoonish-
any chance of maybe throwing in some rougher textures, maybe adding some brown/tans... it still reminds me of the stock (fezzran?) alien.

Or you could just thrill us all and scan in Captian Morgan! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

It's a Fazrah indeed. Pirate are a group of various oxygen breather races. Perhaps the texture has to be changed, in order to look more ... battered ?
I'm still learning how Bry ce 5 works, especially when it comes with textures...

Nice. I"m biased but I like that you are keepting the backgrounds. Among other things it will help them be more visble.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think they won't Last long. Some other Posts(especially from the shipset guru, Andres Lescano) concerning the tesselate shipset have reminded me that there were display problems with non-black backgrounds in some parts of the game. Custom Backgrounds are fun but incompatible with SE IV.

So I think I'll withdraw them in the final Version.

Re: New pirates shipset
 

The only problem with custom background in portrait pictures is when such picture is selected as a random candy in "race creation" menu. It can look very funny http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Otherwise portraits do not produce any problems. Mini - yes, they all must have clean black background.

Re: New pirates shipset
 

Perhaps, but there will be a official Version available on PBW and a alternate.

Seems thaht most people don't care about backgrounds or dislike coloured ones. So the official Version will be black.

Re: New pirates shipset
 

Trooper,
How about 2 Versions?

Re: New pirates shipset
 

Almost finished the shipset.
Just one picture to add, resize some mini pictures, clear ugly pink backgrounds and Version 1.0 will be ready for release !

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I fully understand. It would be great if you can.
Hmm, better get off my duff and make an obvers set.
