Space Vikings sneak preview

[Atrocities]

This set is another must have for my collection.

The broken links on the website are deliberate. I didn't want to spoil this release by making all the images available too early.

I'll be updating the website soon. Also, you may have noticed a readme.htm file in the zip alongside the readme.txt - it's a good way of viewing the shipset.

I'm hoping to update the images again before the CD burn - there's still lots of work to do.

That is one nice looking shipset, what programs did you use?

On a scale of one to cool, that shipset is freakin awesome....

Thanks, they may look nice but wait 'til you play the AI- it's a right vicious b@stard=-) It was all drawn pixel by pixel in paintshop pro. Details at the official space viking homepage.

I updated the site Last night BTW, so most of the images are up. Hoping to upload the remainder tonight.


Keep your eyes open for new updates- there's loads of stuff to go in yet.

Oh, and Zero - how's your mod coming along? I haven't seen any updates on your site in a while. I noticed you're using the starbase image for your megaship & megabase hulls - why not use the battlemoon ones? There is a generic image in S_J's pirates mod for those races that don't supply their own. Please take a look at the "non-standard images" thread before changing your mod though.

Very nice graphics! I really enjoyed the ground troops- very amusing

Hey dogscoff, just got your email.

I think I will use the battlemoon pic. I just updated my webpage with a new Version of my mod. It just adds a few things, I don't have a whole lot of time to work on it right now.

I thought you might have created those images by hand. I feel inspired, maybe I'll do a hand drawn shipset. Ahhh, but where to find the time. Hmmmm... Well, I'm off to shoplift some clocks.

Captain, I found your pants.

Good news about the battlemoon. Did you look at the other thread? We are still deciding what filename to use for the battlemoon images, so wait for a conclusion on that before changing your vehiclesize.txt or you might find that your mod isn't comaptible.

There's a lot to be said for hand-drawn. Sure, 3D is great for ships, but when it comes to things like racial portraits and ground based images, I think hand drawn is best. Perhap a "hybrid" shipset would be bset.
