Katchoo's Shipset Thread (aka the ungodly slow DoGa guy).

Heh. Cool. Thanks a bunch.

I like the new updates, the dreadnought looks great and i never noticed how unique the colony ship looks! Are you thinking of creating a baseship picture for this race?

The 4 "prongs" inside the circle of the Colonyship detatch like missles and impale into the Planet. Call it "Brute Colonizing".

I'd have liked to have gone with "screws" instead of the "prongs" but, as the french say, "c'est la vie avec la DoGa".

And yep, a Baseship is underway.

I Love that race. It's a really splendid work, katchoo.

Hey gang!

I've got a project for everyone. I need some images for the Troop Pictures What i'm looking for is either all drawings or all pictures/models of various aliens and monsters. Here are the details:

SMALL TROOP: thin humanoid alien. I don't want the typical grey alien everyone knows. Rather I want something that looks like a thin, undernourished alien. If you've ever read the Fantastic Four comic book you may have seen the Subterranean (yellow skinned) slaves of the Mole Man. That's what i'm shooting for.

MEDIUM TROOP: large bipedal monster. Something around the size of the Incredible Hulk would do. Heck, I might even use the Hulk if I can find 2 other images (small/large troop) that match in some shape or another.

LARGE TROOP: humongo monster. Think godzilla. These Troops do nothing but eat school buses, climb up buildings, and shake an angry fist/tentacle at menacing airplanes.

Dogscoff, I still want you to do these Troop Pics for me, but this way I can get the set out and you can do the pics at your leisure, and then I can add them in as part of an updated pack for Shipset later on.

Everything is done for this set, so once I plop these Troop images in i'll release the set.

In between looking for pictures, i've been designing Neo-Standard models for the Psycho Trappers! So far i've got the Scout, Corvette, DestroyerHeavy, CruiserHeavy, DreadnoughtHeavy, and the BaseshipHeavy done. I'm gonna hold off on posting these on the Preview page until I get them all done. Then again i'm known for sudden decision reversals...

I'm also tightening the textures for all the existing ships. The hull textures were all the same density before, regardless of ship size. I'm increasing the density now to match each jump in ship size. They look prettier now.

UPDATE: Added Baseship images to the Preview Page.

So if you folks could point me towards any pictures you may know of or find on the net, post them here. Otherwise I may have to go with Plan B: using Muppets.

True to form, i've had a sudden cange of mind and have posted some of the Neo-Standard ships on the Preview Page!

Why? The Worldship came out spiffy keen and I couldn't hold it back
