Space Vikings sneak preview

[Quikngruvn]

I vote for Fast Courier 1. #2 doesn't look quite right without a neck (IMO).

Great shipset, dogscoff! Makes me want to plunder the high seas!

...bump... (for Rollo)

{Plundering the high seas}
Funny you should mention that, I plan to make Space Viking images for the Pirates and Nomads mod as well, for maximum pillaging pleasure=-)

Dogscoff, CivII has some city names for Vikings. Have/want a list to incorporate into your shipset?

Thanks, it could be worth a look. I've been wondering names ile what to use, since I think Norse mythology has already been used for other shipsets. I was considering a list based on different beers, or maybe "pillage", "burn", "loot" etc, but it would be hard to think of enough of those without clashing with other lists.

Please post the list or mail it to me, I'll have a look.

Hello dogscoff,
thanks for bumping this thread. I didn't know it was actually you who is doing the Viking shipset (duh, I kind of feel stupid right now). Maybe my post in the other thread sounded a little odd. I thought I was talking about a third person...

Anyway, I've looked at the preview shipset. I love it! I also vote for Fast Courier #1. (Whats a FC anyway, which mod?)

Wierd coincidence... I've was drawing Space Viking comics at school. ooOOOOoooOOOOooh!!
ANyway, permission to use it is yours as soon as it's working. I'd also love some help with the AI files, although I'm more worried about the "clever" stuff (i design files, anger files) than the spech, which I already have some ideas for.

Anyway, we're getting off topic. Can we continue this conversation on the proper thread? I'll bump it to the top of the forum for you...

Well, thanks a lot for your permission. I am sorry that I can't be much of assistance with the AI files. I only have this game for about a week now and have no experience with designing AI at all (always willing to learn, though). Maybe we should ask some of the expert modders about this (suicide_junkie: HEEEEELP !). All I can offer you is mostly moral support and my opinion on things.
Maybe the small and medium freighter should look somewhat more like the big one (which looks great). Right now they look more like the warships (destroyer, light cruiser). Anyway, if I can suppport you in any way, feel free to contact me (email in profile).

Keep up the good work,

Rollo (a Space Viking by heart)

My AI experience is actually quite limited, basically only what I needed to get AIs working with all of my modded components, shipsizes, techareas & such. I have read nearly all the Posts on this forum, though, and I'd be willing to look into any specific questions you have.
