My Favourite Shipset Designers
 

My Top 8 Shipset Designers

1. Hadrien Adventine For all hsi work, he was trully a master at ship design
2. Hugh Manatee, Defiantly one to watch out for, his Swarm and work for Lord Kodos are amazing
3. Marc Angstadt, The Hedres is my favourite shipset, great work
4. Trooper, The Pirates and Spacesharks are trully in a class of their own
5. Atrocities, Need I say more http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
6. Captain Kwok, the work on his Star Trek Mod is amazing stuff
7. Taera/Andrey Taskaev, The Taera is probably the shipset with the most effort put into it ever!
8. Ryan Begemann, His work was great, the Goa'uld were simply classic

There are others Like Katchoo, John Beech, Don Phillips, Zero Adunn, Andres Lescano and Oleg, well done for all of you for making class shipsets! But they are my top 8, but congratulations to anyone mentioned in this post! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: My Favourite Shipset Designers
 

Thanks. But 5th place? I would say 10th at least.

Re: My Favourite Shipset Designers
 

Another thread that might become polemical...
I would choose, tied for first place, Andres Lescano and Atrocities (even if he doesn't answer quickly to its private Messages... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) both for the profusion and the quality of their work.
John beech and Hadrian Avantime come not far behind, too bad they are no more in the neighbourhood http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif .

I also like Don Philips.

Re: My Favourite Shipset Designers
 

Thanks Trooper. Sorry about the drag time on my responses. My bad.

I love all of the ship sets that are out, and would rate your Sharks set as the best of the best as you are a #1 ship set maker IMHO. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I think any one who tackes a ship set and pulls it off is great.

And I want this on the record. I would never have gotten into ship set making if not for two people. ICQ and TOP buddy Flipper, and Warp__Nine. John B. was very helpful and Andres was an inspiration to me. Rambie just blew me away and made me strive to do better with each revision. Those guys are to blame for the sets I have forced upon you all.

wow, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif thanks but I don't know if I deserve 2nd yet, I only have 1 complete shipset and it doesn't have AI nor does it have Neostandard compatibility(soon I'll deserve this but not just now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif ).

RD, perhaps you should edit your original post and change,..

"My Top 8 Shipset Designers" to...

"My Top 8 Shipset Designers: In no particular order!"

...just trying to help avoid any unwarranted tension! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: P.S. or change the numbering system to letters... a, b, c,..!

Re: My Favourite Shipset Designers
 

Thanks Trooper and thanks Atrocities.

Sounds like we should make a poll out of this thread.

In my rating John Beech is in 1st place closely followed by Hadrian Aventine in 2nd place. I agree with Trooper that it's a shame they're not working in SE4 any more.
Others are difficult to order (I'm including myself among them).
I will not make names because I'm sure I'll miss many great artists. I currently have more than 200 installed shipsets.
There are some that have made only one shipset but a very cool one, and others that have made an impressive number of them, and others that achieved a good balance in between.
There are also many variations in technics, from 2D drawings from scratch to many different 3d programs.
Some shipsets made in doga look poor and too similar others look great, the same could probably be said about other programs but I guess that doga's pre-made pieces tend to produce more repetitions.
