Default Soul Hunters

I am working on Soul Hunters race. The first draft of the ship set is in SEIV/race download forum. Please, give your comments. There are no bases, wp and troops yet

Default Re: Soul Hunters

I like the look of these ships. I think I may switch to these as my default for a while, once you've finished.

PS:
Are you going to fill out this shipset with the Neostandard images?
IMG: Neobuilder's view.

PPS:
You might want to reconsider the shield image, since the B5 mod's use of shield abilities is ...different. Rather than energy walls that have to be beaten dowm, only fancypants armor and grav tech can reduce the impact of weapons. Even so, every hit will do some hull damage.

These are looking good. But, aren't Soul Hunter ships supposed to be a yellowish-greenish color?

Suicide Junkie:

"Are you going to fill out this shipset with the Neostandard images?"

Yes, I have few more models, for example the "battleship-0" in the zip file. I'll try to fill all ship size slots.

Imperator Feron:

"These are looking good. But, aren't Soul Hunter ships supposed to be a yellowish-greenish color?"

I was thinking about that gamma, but found it quite nauseating. I can make an alternative ship set if you like and let people decide which one will suit more.

I also wonder what racial characteristics should we assign for Sould Hunters in standard SEIV mode?

Psychic - the whole business of soul hunting sounds very psychic to me.

Religious - the race truly dedicated to saving souls of others. If this is not deeply religious, then what else?

Crystal - according to Bab5 tech.manual, soul hunters ships have crystaline mesh armor.

Organic - they live over thousand years and can breathe any atmosphere. Must be very good in organic technology.

Temporal - they can predict when person will die, even if it is in a freaky accident. Surely, they can build events predictors!

So, what advanced race trait should it be ?
