Q for Shipset Designers

[Emperor's Child]

Great Thread! I too have been playing for years but only now have begun to try my own shipset. The Dogga suggestion was fantastic, doing the ships in 3D is much easier than I expected. The AI files, however, are a daunting proposition. I guess the first time you do it is the steep end of the learning curve. I'm copying the AI datafiles created by others as a starting point and making changes from there, but still there is lots of work to make them work the way you want.

Thanks for the previous pointers. May I ask for some advice / critique? Been working a little on the sipset and have come up with these so far:

ShipSet

Am I on the right track? Will my color schemes, etc. work out OK once they're in the game. Do I have too much / not enough detail on the ships? Requesting and open to all comments...

Thanks,
Roger
