The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

- i can see having one more size of fighters but i think the massive fighter would be the same as the scout so either nix the scout or nix the massive fighter

On top of the visual differences (as mentioned by dogscoff), there is also the point that fighters would still be restricted to intra-system and are able to be carried by other ships, whereas a "Scout" would not be so restricted.


I can't wait to see some of the new shipsets

I just want to let you know I have almost finished all neo pictures for the Yuuzhan Vong shipset.
Also the generic shipset is almost finished. So the most important part missing would be the copying program.
suicide_junkie are you working on the program?

Andres you didn't include a huge transport in the latest list, is this a mistake or has that been nixed ?

[Andrés]

That's right, there's no huge or massive transport. It's not that I forgot when I made Last list, but it has never been in the list. So far AFAIK no mod includes any of those sizes. I would be a good addition to the list though.

I just finished all extra sizes for the Yuuzhan Vong! (Unless more sizes such as a huge transport are added)

Nice job on the shipset. I particularly liked the resource ship

Good work on the Y-V shipset, it looks good. I'll update the website to include them. Any preference as to which image you want to represent them on the neo-standard site? I was thinking of using the infantry pic, but if your favourite is one of the other pics I'll use that.

Same question to any other shipsets linked to from the neo-standard site. If I don't hear differently I'll just pick my favourite image=-)

Speaking of the website... You'll all notice it has been given a nice glossy new look, courtesy of top design geezer Mr John Beech {applause}. I may also be giving the rest of my webspace something of an overhaul soon, so keep checking back.

Anyone who links to my site (is there anyone?) - would a banner be useful? I'm thinking of making one for the Shrapnel banner exchange. I have also noticed a lot of SEIV sites seem to trade small buttons rather than banners. Is there a standard size or anything I should consider when designing one?

Personally I don't see a need for a massive transport - we have a fourth size at the bottom (tiny), so moddders could simply shift all the images up a class if they wanted to make room for another transport at the top. If they really really needed a fifth transport with a distinct image, there's always the barge picture.

If there's demand though, we'll just add a pic to the standard.

Another long post. Sorry.

[Andrés]

Use any picture you want. I made all pictures from scratch except for the race portrait and infantry, so I’d prefer if you use any of the others. Val particularly liked the resource ship.

IMHO we shouldn’t add a massive transport unless modders demand it.

A link to the old (pre shrapnel Boards overhaul) thread, for those who want to see the downloads:Old thread.

I think (as previously mentioned by dogscoff) the barge picture could easily be used by a mod that had need of a Huge Transport (depending on the looks of the shipset - but considering the barge description it should look like a huge ponderous transport) or the Large Transport can do double duty as the Huge Transport.

well i just finished all the neo-standard images for the Vandron. But since i can't upload them here i guess they'll just have to wait. Oh, and when i asked about the massive transport i didn't mean to suggest adding it as a new class, I just thought it was already in the neo-standard specs and andres forgot to include it in the list. I agree that we don't need it. Of course I think some of the other classes are unneccessary also, but thats just my opinion.
