The SEV release date is almost upon us, and this brings back memories from the days just before the release of it's predecessor SEIV.
Back then, several months before the release of SEIV, malfador posted a website with detailed info on how to build seIV shipsets,It can still be found at
http://www.malfador.com/se4race.html
I was wondering wether it would be possible to post similar instructions for SEV shipsets, I already found some info about the filetypes and how to model ships (
http://www.spaceempires.net/home/ftopict-641.html ) what I'm looking for is an overview of all the shiptypes that a shipset needs to have, and info on other pictures like the raceportrait (what size is it, and what filetype, etc)
Also information about the amount of polygons recommended for each shiptype would be usefull (I guess fighters should have far les than normal ships, or bases)
With seIV the early release of shipset building instructions really paid of, a couple of shipsets were completed as soon as the game was available (the first versions of the taera, united flora and pyrochette among others if I recall correctly) from a marketing point of view it's a good thing to have new content come out as soon as possible. And more importantly it would give us something to pass the time with untill the game is out
