New Race Style (Zorians)

I just posted a new race style in the mod area, I would appreciate any feedback from anyone willing to give them a try.

Thank You

I downloaded your race, and have included it in a new game. So far, so good. The ships are nice, the Speech is funny (and a relief from the standard fare), its early in the game so I don't know how well they are holding up (will report back later). The only problem I have is the same problem I have with a few other shipsets. The ships are TOO dark. It is hard to pick them out on my screen from all the background clutter, (this is a problem I have had with the Tlaxcalan too, great race but hard to see.) Other than that they seem good.
The other races in the game are: Rage5000, Xi'Chung(xpert), Sergetti (xpert), Torons (5k), Earth Alliance (5k), Pundion(sp?5k), Narn (5k), the Dominion(5k, Atrocities new one), and a few others. Will report later.

Thanks for giving them a try.

I did notice a few goofs on them Last night and posted the updated files. They seem to have been included into a in-progress game of mine with no problems

I have been working on the darkness of the ships, but I have been having problems getting a color/texture that would be light enough to see easily, and still give the ships a "rock" like look. I have been using POV-ray, and if you have any suggestions on making them lighter I would greatly appreciate it.

Downloaded your fixed up files, alas too late for the Zorians. They just got squished in a threeway against the Earth Alliance, the Toron Confed, and the Dominion. Have started new game with update, will let you know. (Currently at turn 7, they are 9th but have a high # of planets (7).)

It is now turn 51, they have jumped to FIRST place with 30 planets, have pounded the Earth Alliance to pulp. I am in 2nd, with the Rage in 3rd, and the Torons in 4th. The expert Xi'Chung are at 5th and the expert Sergetti are in 8th.(of 11 races, the main map is all connected wormholes but I am stuck in a three system cut off from the rest of the map, with only the Narn to contend with.). Having much fun.

Just not looking forward to meeting up with the Zorian once I open a wormhole
