Shipsets from UniversalShipYards....

pathfinder · #1 February 1st, 2001, 03:33 AM

Cold Steel: there some sets (bronze?) that are simply shipsets.

also the Kuat shipyards and Atrocitie's site has some Sw and ST sets...

also I too am designing a new race but have borrowed heavily in the AI from the EA, then modified the research, designname, anger & I think the politics files. *shrug* all I wanted to do was see if I could do it. hehe, I may over done things it by what I have seen in testing.

and I too have gotten Moray but so far it has proven beyond my abilities to figure it out

So the shipset is the XiChung's with a minor change.

*grumble, wish I could type/spell*

Mephisto:

I *think* that the EA set on UnivShipyards comes with an AI written by someone else (Philip somebody-or-other). I havent checked it but that was the way it was originally released.

Hope it helps the 'ole bruised ego there!

I too am working on a new ship and race set. No detials as of yet, just in the planning stages. (Will be non star trek race)

Thanks Talenn for the try but it only helped marginally. Said Philipp is just me.

Pathfinder,

*grumble, wish I could type/spell*

I don't do too well either so ...

Do a web-search for "Quickspell" (shareware) and try it. It will spellcheck ANYWHERE as you type and/or spellcheck the document. Works wonders for me in forum Messages. One hint, change the Ctrl-S hotkey to Ctrl-W.

Try it, bet you'll love it. I am not in anyway connected with the publisher!

Hey Mephisto (at least you have a unique ship set for Earth Alliance) the poor Darlok are still using a modified form of their cousins' (Xiati) ships

I did not understand why the EA were down in silver either - I had assumed they hadn't added your AI files yet. Of the "gold" races I have added thus far to my playtesting games, none have come even close in score to the augmented Sergetti, EA or Darlok because those races still use a number of the "default" AI files. As Henk Bruower (sp?) said below, they emphasize the artist side, while we concentrate on the AI files (not necessarily a bad thing since I can barely draw a stick figure). B/T/W Henk, United Flora is still one of my favorite races that I added way back in Nov/Dec - great job! Too bad they wouldn't work with the Darlok.

Please whoever made the Darlok Shipset do not get offended at this. But I was very angry when I downloaded the mod pack to find a shipset that I had been hearing about forever was so great didn't actually contain any ships. To me the artwork is very important. I'm glad that US focuses on artwork more than hard AI files. I can't beat the ones made by MM why do I need harder ones. But I do need interesting races with good pictures. So to be as long as the AI is there and it works. (no errors) and it has a detailed and interesting (orginal) Desription, culture and history. Then it is gold in the AI. But to be gold it also requires good Pictures.
Earth Aliance is to me a shipset with decent pictures and an unoriganal idea F- But A+ on ai becuase no error and Mephisto fixed some of MM's errors. But overal that makes a bad Shipset. (one I don't even keep in the directory becuase I don't want it randomly picked)
