Nice work.

Did you have fun using DOGA? I found that it is truly a versitile program with many appealing aspects. Again, nice work, I have added your race to my grand collection.

Nice images. I especially like the "curvier" ones. Can I add a link to it to the neostandard page?

Very nice.

drone_mini should be resized though, it is bigger then cruiser !

DOGA is very versatile, yes. It fitted my shipset like a grand vest

Was trying to go with a bunch of influences from Freespace, Star Trek, Star Wars (the most explicit one) and Wing Commander and DOGA did it's job well.

And Dogscoff, I was going ask you after I got the AI files done and all the kinks worked out but sure

Well, some of my favorite shipsets are Sallegans and Preatorians, and I really can't see their ships nor units; and I didn't want my ships suffering their fate as unseenable but wanted to copy off their majestic-ness

Very well, a nice shipset.
Three comments:
1. You should note that the front part of most of the ships is the same, even when talking about dreadnought and escort
2. The sizing(sp?) of the small images is a little wierd, you should make it more realisticay-sized, because an escort being larger than dreadnought doesnt make much sense.
3. I've noticed that several "heavier" Versions of some ships are just the same ship with other ships attached to sides (whatever sides). am i right?

Still, a very nice looking racestyle. good work with the textures and it does look very nice. Just three things i wrote above ^

Taera:

1. I was trying to get some kind of Design lineage, something that was same for all sizes something that was kept constant. I looked at some Sci-fi ships and real naval ships and the thing that they almost keep constant was the Bridge. Almost always the same so I thought I should do the same. (although I may correct it)

2. On the Sizing, I recall that when some people sized the ship graphics kinda in proportions, they couldn't see it because it was too small. Such case in point: the Sallegan ships below Cruiser. If you look at the Jreanar ships, it seems small because it's narrow but it has the same length in the image than a cruiser. So although I wanted to size it proportionable, I sacrificed it in order to make other people notice Coalition Drones.

3. The "heavier" Versions are only a slight variations from the original hulls. I did this since I thought it was resonable to only make slight modifications into the hull Such as extra guns, extra armour, extra space so I added slight almost non-noticable parts into the Original hull. I just didn't think it was right to add a whole new wing, missle bays, sensor arrays, and then some for a 50KT change.

But I'll get around to editing after I write the AI files for the darn thing.

Thanks to all that pointed out the errors.

Edit: I should take Gandalf's advice and use Preview...
