I'm almost done with both!

There is some clean up work left, but I'll get on it right away. Besides the two sets, there will be an add on pack with almost all the vehicles/mecha seen in the show so you can have what you like, or do what I do and add them all.

There also *might* be enough for a pure Macross (Macross, Macross Plus, Macross7, etc) set. There is some material for the Varatua and Meltrandi, although not enough for a full set for either of them.

I’d like to see:
Aliens
Colonial Marines
Dune
Gundam
A 50’s scifi set would be really cool, of course you’d need tech for it too!

Its just a shame there isn’t enough readily available source material for them (except the 50’s set) to get a whole set done. Maybe someone who has 3d skills could help out there.

How about stuff from Dexter's Lab. He's got lots of cool spaceships and stuff.

South Park style set (REALLY badly drawn )
/QUOTE

A while back I thought of doing a Terrance and Phillip shipset. (inspired by the excellent Neo Canadian shipset on USy)

Badly drawn 2D pics with ES, FG, DS on the side in huge letters. Atmos type? Gas/ methane of course.

General message: "Hey, did you hear that? I just farted! Hahahahaha!"
Refuse tribute demand: "Here's a tribute for you: *Ppppbbbt*"
General message: "Pull my finger!"

Lego shipset (I gave up trying to piece one together ages ago, no artistic ability in this blood ).
/QUOTE

Well, just buy some lego, make some ships, then take photos of them and scan them in=-)


Oh, and someone mentioned a plant-like race: Check out the United Flora on USy.
A "Little shop of Horrors" race/ shipset could be good though.
General message: "Feed me!"
Demand gift: "Feed me now!"
Declaration of war: "FEEEEED ME!"


Other scifi images:
Hitch-hikers Guide (Anyone watching the repeats on UK TV at the moment?)
General message: "I think you ought to know I'm feeling rather depresseed at the moment."
General message: "1:289,591 against and falling..."

Red Dwarf
Offer Tribute: "Would anybody like any toast?"
<Sci fi cast crossover trivia>
Danny John Jules (The Cat in Red Dwarf UK) had a small part in Little Shop of Horrors - he's a dancer in the "Total Eclipse of the sun: It got very Dark" song.

Damn, I'll be humming Little Shop tunes for the rest of the day now....
"When I was young, just a little kid,
My Momma noticed funny things I did,
Like shootin' puppies with a BB gun,
And poison guppies, and when I was done,
I'd find a kitty cat and bash it's head,
And then one day, my Momma said...

(What did she say?)

She said "my boy some day,
You'll find a way,
to make your natural tendencies pay:
You'll be a dentist"
(you'll be a dentist)
"You've a talent for causing things PAIN!"
(Ooooh!)
"Son be a dentist"
(Son be a dentist)
People pay you to be... inhumane"...

...Can't remember the rest.

Trilobites.

There are lots of images available on the web (sadly I don't have the skill to process them).

Race would have organic and crystaline techs (there was a thread a few days ago showing how to generate the ".emp" for two techs).

Come to think of it, they should be ancient too.

Bucky O'Hare shipset

The Toads would have their mothership for a Baseship, and Double Bubbles for fighters.

S.P.A.C.E. only had 3 frigates in their navy, but one could extrapolate other designs.

[Quikngruvn]

I had an idea for an empire called the Bubba Confederacy.

Frigate is a primer-colored old Corvette with racing stripes.
Cruisers could be rusted pick-up trucks.
Battleships would be 4x4's with full gun racks and deer-spotting lights.
Space Stations are trailers. Starbases are doublewides.
Transports could be trailers still on wheels.
Carriers would be fishin' boats.
Weapons platforms would be shotguns.
Troops would be coon dogs and/or professional wrestlers.
And, of course, colony ships would be the Clampett's car from "The Beverly Hillbillies"!

'Course, I think only an American Southerner could do it justice. I've already got a racial history in mind, tho.

Forgot the troops!

I would love to see a system shock/system shock 2 Shodan shipset, with the queen of malavolent AI herself in charge and a whole lot of cyberneticaly augmented/enslaved human drones such as this one: http://sshock2.com/fanworks/artwork/waitingshodan.jpg , for use as troops and pop_portraits. Computer tech would be researched early and be on every ship. Could be cool. You could go really nuts and also create a shipset based on The Many (the organic bad guys from SS2). The shipset would just be a bunch of assorted ships from the stock SEIV races with a huge organic mass growing all over them. Fun.
Also cool would be to make a few more shipsets based on the moo races. The Darlock are a very cool shipset with great AI, but I want more, dammit, more!
Anyway, I'm already amazed at some of the great shipsets which have already come out for SEIV. What a great game and what a great community supporting it.


P.S. I would definately want to play as the "Bubba Confederacy."
