I notice that you have them called "Nosral Republic" in the AI_General file. Confederacy is a better name.

I love it!

Now go Wikify it: http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.php/Shipsets_(SEIV)

Shiny !!!

I for one think it's very good.

Not a criticism, but just one thought to add, though - No mine, satellite, or fighter groups, and no fleet....

Oh crap....I didn't even think of them!

Guess version 1.1 will be uploaded tonight, once I get those pic's together.

Thanks for letting me know!

A new download will be available tonight, with the missing images included.

I noticed the spelling errors after the latest upload, but decided it wasn't worth uploading it again just to fix a couple spelling errors.

However, when I decide to tweak something again, the changes will be made and credit given to those who pointed them out.

Oops! I'll have to fix that. Thanks for pointing it out! And also thanks so much for putting it up on SE.net.

Dogscoff: I'll Wikify it when I'm back from work

Ace. you might also want to check that this page: http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.php/Tyrellian is to your liking as well. The one I put up is pretty sparse.

BTW, I wanted to say that I love the way you've taken inspiration from the Phong ships without simply copying or recolouring them. It's a recognisable Phong-derived set, but still unique. Very good. I like the way you tweaked the race pic as well.

I'm happy you like the set PvK. I think I'll take your suggestion with the corvette/frigate issue, switching them should solve things.

I think I'll leave the LC/CR/HC as they are. It's kind of tempting to switch things around, but I also like them as they are.

I never was really happy with the infantry image, as the name implies it should be biological not mechanical. I can't do humanoid (Nosraloid!) pictures at all, so it kinda sucks as it is. However, you're right that it is far too large in comparison with the others, and I think I'll change it from a single large image to multiple smaller ones, as you suggested. It should look better.

I'll also take a look at the Light Carrier to see if I've made an error in the filenames, which is the most likely issue.

Thanks a lot for pointing out the issues you've seen, I should have time to fix all of them tonight and upload another new version.

Think Fyron's going to get a little annoyed with me, new version every couple days

Guess I'll have to stop making errors!

Here's a bit of an idea that might work as a kind of " temporary " solution.

I'd come across a kind of Phong infantryman, and maybe with a little recoloring he might work out as a Nosral one ???

Renegade 13 · #10 February 19th, 2006, 08:02 PM

Thanks a lot for the suggestion Black Knyght, but I think I'll have to stick with the one I have. I usually prefer in my shipsets to use only images I've created myself where possible, and even if my infantryman looks a little goofy (which it definitly does!) I think I'll keep him.

But thanks again!

Attached to this post will be version 1.2 of the Nosral. All errors that have been posted should have been fixed, including spelling errors and a rather stupid mistake I made naming the Light Carrier that made it not show up in game. The infantry pictures have also been redone, and I think they look marginally better, though not of the quality I'd like. Oh well. Can't have it all

Enjoy! A new version should be up on SE.net soon as well, if my constant release of new fixes hasn't driven Fyron up a wall already

I'm hoping to upload to PBW as well in a few days, provided new errors are not encountered.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback provided thus far, it is most valuable!
