Dunno. As there is a "target="new" attribute on the links, a new window should be opened when you click on a link.

>>Also, can you eliminate all links to Shrapnel uploads pages, and replace them with direct links to the files? I could not find the Brachyura or Corrian set from those links....

If someone give me the good links. (no time for that at the moment).

>>Could you please remove the read-only attributes of all ship sets hosted on SOTAS, such as the Federal Union? There is no reason for them to have that attribute, and it makes downloading a new Version more difficult than necessary.

Maybe, need a few time for that.

>>You missed the Kobaia shipset, which is in the PBW file library.

Link ? (can't find it)

>>The Nloam sample pic is missing the smiley next to it indicating it has a preview page on SOTAS.

maniac ! it's done now.

>>The page for the Nu'Wam Partnership has no images, nor a download link.

See with katchoo, he owns the page...

>>The Vasudan set is on this page, not where you have it linked: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For.../000017-5.html[/qb]

will correct that soon, thanks.

PS : as you seem to have lot of shipsets on your HD, I'm going to annoy you next time I'll be looking for one

sorry for the quick answers, I've got urgent things to do !

Fyron : Kobaia is a clone of Aquilians, nethertheless I've added them, just for info.

- corrected the link on Vasudian.

- Added the "kobol" from PBW.

-Warned Katchoo for Nu'Wan pb.

- Still don't understand your browsing pb, what navigator do you use (I DON'T support Netscape) ?.

Dogscoff : also added Clukruk republic

Pax :

BTW, in general -- I'm glad to see you're making a home for those shipsets that had become un-hosted. It'd be a shame to see the diversity of SE4 shipsets start to decline ...

That's exaclty my way of thinking. But time is fighting against me, it's very hard to find some shipsets indeed.

Dark pyrochette is an example : unable to find it at the moment (Andres, Fyron... ?)

If you want to play in teams with the same race in different colors , I would suggest you use Jraenar stock race, it exists in four colors.(see Green Yellow, Orange, Purple Lizards). Or you can create your own fleet.

ZeroAdunn : finally got the modified G race from Andres. With a light race portrait (I saw a lot of them in zip files recently, who owns the rights ?), it could make a suitable race ("white and pure" concept, or neutral race). May I host it ?

[trooper]

Good news for you, Pax : the Dark Pyrochette is now available on SOTAS : http://diesel2035.free.fr/hosted/pyrochettedark

Some resize work has been done on the pics, because they all have the same size in the original Version. Author remains unknown.

A big thanks to Andres for the original race he've sent to me.

If if you have other shipset requests, you can try your luck here.

[Q]

Trooper thank you again for your excellent and huge work. I thought I had already most races but thank to your work I realized how many more are out there and where I could get them.

[Lord Kodos]

Dont forget to add the Azlokians to your list ^_^

I geuss if its okay with Hugh, you can host them too, if you wanted.

Thank you! thank you thank you thank you!

Okay, those ships aren't identical to the standard Pyrochette, but they're very very close. 8)

Now, if I can figure a way to take THOSE fairly monochrome ships, and just tweak the palletes, I might be able to have a whole set of "same ships, different colors" shipsets. Whee!

Trooper, the racedir lists the Ur-quan as "Last seen on Usy and TdM. No link known". I have them on my HD. I also have the Chaos Legion.

Would the zips be useful to you? I've been through the rest of the list and can't help with any more of your "unknowns".

Dogscoff, it seems I don't have Ur-quan...

About chaos, is it the atraikius Version hosted on SOTAS ? if no, I would like to have a look on it too...

That's an excellent site, Trooper. (State of the Art Spaceyards)
Everytime I go there, there's a few more races added to it! Most of them I have never seen before. Very nice work.

[Fyron]

Dunno. As there is a "target="new" attribute on the links, a new window should be opened when you click on a link

You need a _ in front of new. It should be "Target="_new"". Otherwise, it can confuse IE, as it looks for an existing frame named new. When it fails to find it, it makes a new frame in a new window. The "_" tells the browser that this will definitely be a new frame, not an existing one. This might be what causes the problem. Or it could be something else.

The Pyrochette were a race on the SE Universe Ladder run by Grand Mausic Yith Saulkar. I am fairly certain that Yith Saulkar (take out his title) was the author of the Dark Pyrochette set.

Thanks !
If you haven't seen them before, maybe it's because I'm looking for races that can't be found anywhere indeed...

I've added lot of stuff in the latest weeks, but I'll have to slow down now, because I'm going back to work, after seven months being unemployed. So there will be less "new" material on the site. My current priority is to complete the starship race.

Fyron : I had forgotten about the "target="_new" attribute when I made the race dir, but it would be an interesting feature to set, with an automatic replacement method, of course (about 250 links to update...) !

Dogscoff : Can you send me Ur-quan, please ?

Recent shipset authors : By the way, is there any new shipset I could have missed in the racedir ?
