What a surprise.. I was looking around at the SE4 mod scene to kill a few hours, and I find a whole bunch of people talking about a HH mod for the game. I've actually been working on a barebones realtime game based in the HH universe, to see where it goes. Anybody who's interested in getting involved with such a thing can email me at Sessile1@hotmail.com. My credentials are basically that I've been a game programmer on 2 shipped games, and am working on a team making a third. I'm also a huge Weber/4X game fan. I've about half completed a game design, and will need people who can do decent art and sound assets, as well as some design help (building missions, ships, components, etc.) I'm going to focus on building the engine and toolkit, which is mostly specced out at this point. Anyhow, if this is even remotely interesting to any of you, email!

Right on both counts. There is a complete, scaled chart of both ships (from LAC to SD) and missiles in one of the books. Dimensions and masses are listed. There is also a complete discussion of the technology and how it works. Can't remember which book, though....

Looks good. Not too fond of the pop portrait, but then I'm not too fond of any of the cover art.

The fighers should techniclly have the same general shape as the ships, but then they'd look a little too similar I think..

Thanks! I spend a lot of time on internet looking for a good portrait. I have only paperback books but best covers appear to be on hardcover. If anybody could scan covers...

Yes, fighters should also have hammerhead body but I just want more variety in pictures

Looks like On Basilik Station..

Yes, it is from Basilisk

I finally found a way to get big nice pictures of book covers - go to Amazon, find an item, then click on "more details", It will usually display the big cover picture

As a FYI, the Baen CD on the copy of War of Honor is freely (legally..gotta love Baen) copyable (only read the Last few pages of the thread, sorry if it's been mentioned), and has all the HH books on it.

If anyone wants it, I have it up for DL. E-mail me for the web address.
