Your Ship Img Preferences.....
 

I was just thinking..... what kind of ship images do you like best?

You may choose two (in case you might like Neostandard but wished there were some more ship types). If you select the last choice, please specify what sort of ship imgs you would like to be used by the general public.

The rule of the One shipset: a single shipset per mod, and one I can see without trouble (so no Praetor shipset allowed on my computer). Those shipsets are Regency, Cryslonite, EEE and KanasS (though Cryslonite will likely be killed soon).

I would personally like to see more "secondary" warships..... now, the generic hulls are single-line ascending ships. I would like to see "specialized" secondary hulls like in Capship, say special Destroyers with visible scanning devices and tracking sensors, or Frigates that look like strong yet compact warships designed for sheer combat effectiveness.

However, the people who make the shipsets don't want that to happen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Your Ship Img Preferences.....
 

OK, but it would be nice if people made extra ships more often..... even if they're not names used in any mod, just "[%RaceName]_Portrait_ExtraShip1.bmp" would do.

Like in TerranC's Sev shipset..... I mean, FighterOrbital, SatelliteMedium/Large, Researchoutpost..... man that's what I need!

Re: Your Ship Img Preferences.....
 

I made those pics because the Adamant mod called for their existance; if someone made a mod that called for an AWACS Destroyer or a Heavy Gunship, it is most likely that I would have accomodated them also.

Re: Your Ship Img Preferences.....
 

Really? Could you create some extra pics in ur next shipsets plz?

Re: Your Ship Img Preferences.....
 

The problem with using the "extra_ship" name is that the modders and shipset builders need to be on the same page. What I mean is that you don't want the player to have to rename the ships to work in a mod. Also, what stops a shipset builder from adding what he considers a supermassiveheavyorbitalassault carrier as extra_pic1 and the next builder making micromines as extra_pic1? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif That's why the standards are there.

My vote is full Adamant Mod support! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Also, there is no Neostandard+. ++ is a reference to the ubiqitous C++ language.

Re: Your Ship Img Preferences.....
 

Thought Neo+ didn't exist, just thought that because of Neo++ there'd be an earlier version I knew nothing about.....

.....and to speak for myself I wouldn't mind renaming ships.
