I'll give it all a shot - might not have time 'til the weekend, but I will get all those ideas back to you (plus throw in some more)! Also, the P&N ships - which races do you want me to try to use as archtypes?

Also, fooled around with trying to make a hex grid sphere - had some mixed results

Structural.zip

Let me know if any of these are good or how you want them modified.

Ok, tried some of the armor requests you made:

RedoneArmor.zip

Created layered and thick Versions of Light-Heavy armor (only one light for both since it looks the same), made rainbow refract armor, mushroomed the plasma and added a vent to plasma armor (also one without plasma for mini), tried the hollow hex/wall thing (not sure if I got that one visualized right) and recolored primary armor (made 2 dif ones). Hope they are better!

I'll take one of those meshwalls in a light grey frame to highlight the structure (thin tubes along the edges, leave the faces exposed)

I like the refraction rainbow, too. Make a mini of that to see whether the color shows through

For the heavy/medium armor, I think the layered method is better, the variable thickness is a bit too subtle, though if you made the light stuff paper thin, and the heavy stuff 50% thicker, they should be obvious as to which is which. Some light on underside of the armor might do the trick too.

Ah, the plasma armor. By the blue ring, I meant a hex outline to replace the center tile of grey plate over top of the plasma.
Check out My cheap drawing to see what I mean

The rough sketch helped a lot

Here are some new plasma armors & a mini refract & mini plasma (sans burst).

Question on the meshwall, you want a thin solid grey frame around the mesh, right?

Ooh, nice

. Definitely the full sphere flare over the half-sphere.

And those minis are very good. Do you want to tweak/re-render them or are they already "premium" rendered?

The BTG walls look the right shape, but I'm thinking they need to look a bit less wispy. How about adding a green mesh inside the grey stuff, for a hint of the organics that go into BTG production.

Wow, this stuff is looking great.

I can't believe my eyes. Great job. Are you just going to keep going or do you plan to stop sometime?
