OT: A Challenging Idea

Atrocities · #1 March 31st, 2005, 11:35 AM

Any of you watch those biker build off shows on the Discovery channel? If you have then you know that each couple of weeks two custome bike builders sqaure off to make a custom street bike in 10 days and then they ride them to a show and people vote on which one they like the best.

Well I was thinking why not try that with ship sets? I don't know it could be fun to see what people come up with but it is a bit late in the game now to really do given that SE V begins its beta in a few days. However if any one is up for a little challenge, post and lets set up some rules and give it a go.

Gaaahhrrr! I love the idea, but I'm too busy this time of the year.

You'd just kick my @$$ anyway! LOL.

It doesn't have to take a lot of time if you have an imagination. AT will still probably kick anyone's but at making a shipset using his arsenal of software, BUT there was a really neat shipset I had seen a couple of years ago made with LEGO's!!! I thought that set was really different and fun. Someone built all the ships out of legos, took pics, and turned it into a shipset. There are some hand-drawn sets that are pretty good too. These give the game a different flavor.

Have you seen the Lego Star Wars game? Looks friggin great!
I don't think that shipset was made by taking pictures, there is a program you can build things out of Legos in... I forget what though.

Instar,

There's 2 that I know of:

MLCad
BlockCAD

None of them are as fun as the real thing though. I used to have endless fun with it when I was a kid.

I still have a small star destroyer I made from lego when I was a child (and this was before the huge SD set was made)

I'm not certain but I swear that I am getting my tail whipped by damn Lego's (tm) in some game of mine..

Most humiliating to be beaten by toys I played with 31 and change years ago..
