Re: Imagemod requests here!
 
I don't really care where the images get placed, looking up the image number dosen't take long.
Clustered images are convenient when merging submissions, and for saving on disk space.

Lets see...
- More varieties of solar collector: ramscoops, starbase collectors...
- Phased torpedoes, seeker missiles.
- BioCrystal armor
- Telepathic armor (organic/psychic)
- BioEngineered Fanatic (Single infantry critter with embedded weapons. Organic armor skin? A talisman tatoo?)
- Shield/Armor combo (no ideas)
- hardware/computer upgrades for ECM/Combat sensors (Advanced & Elite components)
- Machine Shop
- Psychic Stunner Crystal (seeker)

Lower priority:
- Miniaturized/Packrat crew quarters
- miniaturized lifesupport
- automated bridge
- Temporally Accelerated Psychic combat sensor
- Swashbucklers/ Scavengers (boarding parties)
- Predictive Grav. deflector (uses gravity pulses to deflect imcoming shots)

I would suggest using Rambie's Narn light trooper for the BioFanatic - looks the part http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'll see what I can do between the other stuff.

A picture of my bedroom would do for the pack-rat crew quarters.

The psychic stun crystal looks very nice. A touch more light on the front end, just maybe.

For the organic armors (psy & crys), could you do a variation on the Classic OA 3x3 shape, rather than a 2-3-2 hex armor? It should be clear that these armors can regenerate during combat http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

For the Polaron missile, you need to brighten it up, and probably set the warhead color to a yellowish hue (like the PPB?)

I'm not sure what the phased torpedo image is: either a normal facing cannon, or a "backwards" facing hammerhead rocket-projectile. This weapon is the phased Version of a classic Antimatter Torpedo.

The phasedtorps image you posted would be very good for a cannon of some sort; don't throw it out!

I'll give them another go http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The torp (cannon) image is actually the torp launcher. Do you want an actual image of the torp itself? Due to years of Trek and other sci-fi I always see the torps as looking like energy balls, so I figured I'd make the launcher instead. Would you rather a more missile/classical WWII torp image?

PPB?

PPB = Phased Polaron Beam. Widely known for being one of the two Ultimate weapons in SE4 Classic (APB is the other).

The torpedo should be something roughly similar to the SE4 classic torpedo, bullet shaped, with some way of indicating a polaron warhead. Maybe a window (like the plasma missile has), which allows emits a wierd glow.
Rather than Trek, think WW2 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I'm not sure whether the polaron glow should be purple, like the beam seen in combat, or yellow, like the PPB component image... I'm leaning towards purple.

PPB - I've been doing so much B5 lately I could only think along the lines of PPG! Temporary mind slip...

I'll try the new torp in a bit.

By 3x3 armor, you mean the like the organic, yes?

Like these?

Re: Imagemod requests here!
 
Correct.
"the Classic OA 3x3 shape" where OA = Organic Armor.

- I like Torp3, but it needs some more ambient light near the front. I'd leave the wings off of the tail, since the torpedo is almost a dumbfire weapon.
- For the Missile/Seeker, try using the wavy colored polaron core from the torpedo, with more of a blue tint to the core.
- The Psy crystal looks great. The mini should turn out very nice, since the design is quite simple.
