Hmm, better get off my duff and make an obvers set.
I'm afraid I won't. Two Versions is hard to maintain, and would make no sense on PBW, for instance. Moreover, as you can see on the preview page, many recent pictures have no background.

I follow the majority decision, hope you will understand, even if "majority" in the US is a foggy notion...

If you create a shipset, I would encourage you to use standard format : there no use working if very few people use your work !

I like the race portrait as it is, and looks slightly like a fazrah, but it looks better in my opinion.

As for the shipsets they look great with the black backgrounds, i think they stand out more, great work on the dreadnought

Will this be released with a large transport design or will we just have to rename a couple of files? I rarely play P&N, But with this shipset roleplaying a pirate shipset race using boarding parties would be quite fun, can't wait till this is released

Any thoughts on making an extra baseship image? most shipsets now come with a baseship image and beginning to use them more, and the starbase image isn't really that ship looking! great as a base but you get the idea for baseships, just a suggestion

It is a Fazrah... perhaps I should modify the picture to look more like the stock shipset race picture.

The poll clearly show thaht people usualy prefer black backgrounds.

It's a patchwork of parts coming from other ships...
The perfect copy of Captain Harlock ship is the BattleCruiser.

I've made the large transport picture today. It's on the site. Baseship and drone pictures are still to be made. I will finish all stock pictures and P&N custom pictures before launching the shipset. In next Version, I will make missing neo standard images, as usual.

I do understand and accept.

Um, what do you mean, "If"?
Sure there is. I don't do the ship set for other people. I do it for me and share it.

I will create a second similar set on a solid black background and a different name.

Gosh, I still have to draw the massive fighter, huge fighter and worldship for the P&N mod !
SO I'm going to have a few days more to work on it...

Gryphin : As you work for you, well... do as you wish ! But maintaining two Version is annoying.

And think of neo standard axtensions

That really is looking cool, trooper. I especially love the "rock" stations and worldship.

BTW, check your private Messages.

Another BTW... I have created basicmalfadorica pages for both the pexlerr and the space sharks now. Do you want to create a page for yourself? Then you could link to all your shipsets from one page and add new ones as you release more sets. Also, you could edit the pages I've made to include the information you want displayed about your sets.

It's really easy to makes changes to the Malfadorica, just go there and click "Edit". Click the question mark by your name to add an entry about yourself.

pexlerr

Oh yeah... the signing in thing. That's wierd.

Just make up a username and don't enter a password. The important thing is that your username must have TWO capital letters in it, for example DogScoff or TroopeR.

Like I say, it's wierd, but that's how it works...
