Race Ideas (Poste em)

[Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz]

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.

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."

Am I ill, or does any one else find her slightly attractive.

And instead of the Bubba Ship Set, you could always call it The Space Trailer Park Red Neck Set.

I recall seeing two ships and a shuttle. But I bet I know where you could get an image for the starbase

slightly? I mean, NO! you sick monster of a man, NO! sheeze, never say something like that on a public forum.

on a serious note though, much of the system shock art is very Gieger-esque. My favorite imagery is probably the cortex-reavers from the first game.
