Taera Hive Imperium Racestyle
 

Hi all.
I've posted my racestyle to download (1.49 only, didnt revamp the AI for gold)
Took a while to finish.

The link is:
1015700158.zip

A complete texture revamp, fully neo-standard compatible, minor AI tweaks. Overall much nicer race to play with/against. Plus a personal names list.

Comments please.
(On the images, the AI, the descriptions)

Actually....as before the shipset is great (took a peek at USy)! I just need to get off my bum, d/l the set and play it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

IM now on gold Taera

Waiting on your gold Version so I can play it.

Re: Taera Hive Imperium Racestyle
 

I'm on Gold too. Love to use it when Gold compatible, though.

Thanks for at least some responses.
Didnt know at all that my Taera got anything special at the USy...

Actually i'll sort out all the "extras" im planning by tomorrow and then go into making it gold compatible.

My personal comments - Andrey, get working on Taera MK II.

Re: Taera Hive Imperium Racestyle
 

I like it Taera, i only just downloaded the Version of USY recently after i accepted that despite it being overly green it was a classic shipset. I love the new gold texturing, definatly makes it look good and the new racial portrait is great! I have to admire you Andrey, i don't think anyone on these forums has put so much work onto one shipset as much as you have, well done!

The only Complaint i have is the barge, i think myabe it should have been rendered slightly smaller so it fit in the freame, but other than that this is a great revamp! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Is it Gold Compatible? If not I'll probably use the TDM Modpacks Xi'Chung Ai, i await it as the Taera were a challenging foe in my previous games, if they can use gold technologies like drones it will be an even greater shipset http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Trooper: thanks for uploading it AND taking care to find this thread

RD: Thank you for kind words. As for the barge, i made it be so huhge intentionally. Because IT IS a huge ship! i dont think i would scale it down because right now it looks HUGE as it should be, and also there arent any special details not seen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
The AI... well im lazy enough to have copied some TDM AI (i believe its Vaxin but i might be wrong) but the speech, anger and a couple more files are personalized. I will put some time and effort into the race AI soon though.

Re: Taera Hive Imperium Racestyle
 

Regarding the effort: you might know in all my 6 years of being here i've done only two sets. I have endless partially done on my PC but only two were truly done. I say that i put a soul into that set and i actually did because i've done it wihtout any knowledge of any of the most powerful tools in the program and i think it still looks good. I spent a whole summer working on it, many long hours. Then i revamped it four times by now. The race portrait itself is a part of a whole bug model which was a month's product and right now at its seventh revision. And i also love this shipset personally and dont even need any more. Thank you for the kind words, its not common that i get feedback on it.
