Hugh Manatee,

Awesome mlmbd, as soon as I learn how to use it this will be perfect.

You are 'Welcome'. The learning curve isn't to bad! I like the 'Butterfly'! Might I suggest just a little transparency in the wings?

Unfortunately you need the regestered Version. It is also the best Version. There are 4 or 5 funtions enabled with it. It is well worth the money. If you have it. If not, the Free Version is still excellent!

I guess I'm out of luck then since i don't live in Japan and, therefore, can not register.

This is the "chrysalis", I'm not sure how I'm going to use it but I am.

Nah, I'd rather have the wings glow, I turned the "emission setting" up about one third of the way to get this great eathereal glow, I turned the "glow" on the antenae all the way up and I like the effect. I don't know If I can get glow and transparancy at the same time. The chrysalis is partially transparent as you can see, I turned the emission setting on the body of the cattepillar way up to make it look all freaky.

And do you think Space Moths sounds cooler than Space Butterflies? I think they look more like space moths than butterflies on account of the feathered antenae, what are you opinions.

i suggest you use it as a colonizer or cargo ship. then again something that can spin a cocoon and carry cargo in that may work better for that.

Again Manatee, youve impressed me :-D

I would suggest using the Chrysalis as a Carrier of some sort, and make the Fighters into i dunno caterpillers?

Cool, another critter set. Nice one Manatee.

I really like the chrysalis, if all the other ships turn out like that this will be better than the united flora, IMHO

As for the butterfly/moth it's quite good but don't moths have 1 wing that slightly splits into two,a dn i'm not too keen on the wing textures, most moths and butterflies have patterns and i think this would look better than the glowing effect on the wings, the rest of the butterfly/moth is superb, it seems the latest wave of shipset designers are getting better everytime! Keep up the good work

I agree with kodos, the chrysalis should be a carrier and the fighters should be minature moths/butterflies, but if you have a better idea go with it!
