but no more. my hopes and dreams lie shattered. there is nothing left of me, save for a burt out shell of a man. i am lost, and have no great space empires fan mods to fall back on. for i have already played out the popular ones, and the spoogy mod is denied to me. alas, all great things come to an end.. for only in great endings, do ...

You can always make the PUKE mod.

Could you ever imagine us, as a rece, being conqured by something as odd looking as Captain Kwok and his people? Image what would be said.

"OMG the LGM from ???? are attacking!" (Military)
"They are hidious monsters with two eyes and green skin!" (Media)
"Oh I think they are rather cute looking." (Street Hooker)

"Betty raise the flag and get my gun!" (Red blooded American)

Cool stuff. So if this set was never finished, what's that shipset I have on my hard drive with a fluffy white cat in uniform as the race portrait? I thought that was your spoogy set...

I agree with everyone else.

BTW: how do you turn off the music at that site?

Hey Cap'n... how the heck do you do those little windows on all your ships with moray? I thought it didn't support UV mapping yet... or are you a beta tester for 3.5? Or do you actually put them on one by one???

Umm, didn't you read the caption below the image? I mentioned that ship was an updated Version of the old Spoogy ships.

If you hit 'Stop' on your browser, the music will stop. I believe there is a little message that says that too at the site.

The windows are actually part of the bitmap texture, and not objects. The raised looked is done by creating a bevel around the window, easily done with Photoshop.

If you look closely at the most recent ships, you'll notice I've been putting in little details from SE:IV. On the first images I posted, you can see a pseudo-shield generator behind the bridge module. Also, the small white 'hatches' are escape pods, plus on the bottom of the front hull there are two thrusters (cannot be seen in either picture) that run on little tracks. They're for thrust vectoring.
