Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Oooo, interesting racial description. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

All of the headers on the racial description page are black in Mozilla...

Nice set though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New SE3 race converted.

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Ooh, like the race portrait! Reminds me of The Flash, Viewtiful Joe, Quickman (from Megaman 2), and Cyclops (from X-Men)! And I can even see the eyes through the mask so it's not just a cop-out to avoid rendering the hardest part of the face - that portrait is perfect! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

(watch Andres tell me he just used Caligari's Facial Animator tool or something... please, say it ain't so! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Neat.

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Wow, the shipset looks good! Especially the carriers and colony ship. This is my favorite shipset from SE3. I used to use this shipset a lot back in the SE3 days... Thank you, Andrés! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Am I the only one unable to get into that site?

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Very nice shipset.

Instar:
Yeah, you're probabely the only one who can't acces the site. Too bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Does any one still play SE III?

I think I have the demo around someplace.

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

I do on occasion. I like the research system better... But I know it is going to be changed in the new Version... It is one of the reasons that it took me so long to change to SE4.

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Oooo, very nice! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif The latest image you posted is one from my favorite SEIII shipset. I'll get that set when its completed, for sure!

Atrocities, yes some people still play SEIII. In fact, I'm playing a game right now. Its kinda tough when you give yourself 3 starting planets, and the AI 10....but I'm winning!

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Shiney...And a bit blown up, too.

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Looks great! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

...I haven't played SE3 in a long time. About a year ago, I started an SE3 game but I just couldn't get into it because I'm so used to SE4, so I quickly went back to SE4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Still some time until I finish this shipset.
In the meantime, please help me complete/correct this descriptions and recomend me an AI I can borrow.

Name := Memnorak Protectorate
Description := The Memnorak are large blue arachnoids with extreme skills on engineering.
Empire Name := Memnorak
Empire Type := Protectorate
Emperor Name := Trellak
Emperor Title := Supreme Preceptor
Biological Description := Physically Memnorak are large blue arthropods with a remarkable resemblance to spiders. Their leg span can reach up over 3 meters, but their bodies rarely surpass 1.5 meters. Their legs end on claws and scopulas that allow them to walk on ceilings and walls, an ability that has proven very useful in zero-G environments. Those claws also allow them to manipulate objects and use tools with any of their legs, although they are more dexterous with their delicate palps and with their chelicerae ended in those sharp and versatile fangs.
Society Description := To be made.... I don't want the stereotype of hive mind insectoids, and of course they don't have organic tech. I was thinking of something about how their multiple dexterous appendices give them the ability to easily build complex machines. And something like "It's hard to find a Memnorak without his toolbox.
General History Description := To be made.... Perhaps something related to human (and most races) phobias towards spiders leading to early distrust.

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Maybe some race views spiders as a delicacy, so that creates an entirely different form of tension? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New SE3 race converted.
 

Aren't spiders more individualistic than insects? That would fit with the idea of them being builders.

How's this?...

The Memnorak focus entirely on their work and typically ignore others around them. While a single Memnorak ship is extremely dangerous in war, they have trouble with group tactics and can often be outflanked. However they more than make up for this in the robustness of their ship construction. Their love of construction and their ability to concentrate on their work makes Memnorak ships some of the most rugged in the galaxy. It's said: "It's hard to find a Memnorak without his toolbox". Some races romanticise the Memnorak and the how they tend to fight with individual ships against whole fleets. Despite the odds in combat, their individual nature and tough ships consistently come out on top.

Spiders eat bugs. Bugs spread disease. Spiders our are friends.

I saw spider-man 2. Some obnoxious twit yelled 'Kiss her, you dip!' in one of the final scenes.

Um, some obnoxious twit we all know...
