Hi I am really really new. I don't even have the game yet. I did get DOGA to start designing ships. I have questions on size of the ships and texturing. First texturing. What is it and how do you do it? Next is there a size for the ships to be used?

If you have DOGA, texturing is pretty easy. As you use the program you will learn. (Namely is just pick a color - find a texture to use - and apply to that part.

There is a tutorial about ship set design on the Gold CD and a link to it in the New Members Read sticky thread.

The size of all protrait images must be 128 x 128 Size of mini images must be 36 X 36.

In most cases I render my images at 1000 x 1000 and then resize to 128 or 36. I then open them in Paint and check for masking issues. Masking issues are the black area around your model. If it is not all black, your model when it passes through a nebula will look really bad.

Again read the ship set tutorial. DOWNLOAD LINK It should help a little.
