New Shipset -- The Blackstar Nexus

Raging Deadstar · #1 April 10th, 2003, 08:47 PM

Well done, this is a great shipset, the carriers look great but my favourites are the battle cruiser and dreadnought! Very good work! The fighters and troop infantry are great also.

Congratulations you have the honour of being the 93rd shipset on my computer

Great work, very clean and neostandard compliant too.

It's quite easy to add AI files on your shipset : get an organic race (like Xi Chung) and change a few things to make them less agressive, as you want a peacefull race.

I also add this set to the complete race list on my site.

I agree - a nice-looking shipset indeed.

But one question...

Dogscoff, when oh WHEN will the KanesS be finished?

I wasn't quite expecting this kind of response...I guess de-lurking isn't so dangerous after all

Suicide Junkie: I used mechs for the troops/infantry as the soldiers don't pilot the mechs, they are the mechs.

I might edit the drone tho..I was going for a technorganic look (the green-black), but it's sometimes a bit too dark, it seems.

, what do you mean by using a Bump in the texture?

Well, I have to finish the Vikings first, and I started them about 2 years ago...

Actually, I will probably have an early release Version (ie all the standard ships but not all neostandard ones) ready in the next month or so. I'm a slow worker when it comes to these things, and I keep getting sidetracked, usually by offering to do race portraits for people or by RL or by the nxp or by Othaglot & Cane...

Anyway... yeah. I'll get back onto it, maybe I'll have time for some graphics this weekend. The AI (proportions only) is ready to go thanks to Oleg, I just need to get the bases, mines, troops, drone, a few fighters and baseships done. Gulp.

It is a texture add to the surface. It gives the surface depth. In the 'Texture Tab' of DOGA L3 it is the third square over. You can tweak it with % of depth, % of density and then you may want to invert it. Hope that helps!
