The set looks really good. I particularly liked ship #2.

It looks like the images of 4 & 5 should be swapped to better match the overhead views though.

6 Looks like a carrier of some sort and kind of reminds me of the old 'Starblazers' cartoon.

very good. since 4 is a larger 3, it should probably fill up more of the window. i like them all though, the red stripe at the base of 5 is what contributes most to that 'naval boat' sort of look.

Nice Atrocities, very nice. Try and get them done by December 15th so that we can include them on the Gold CD.

Thank you all very much for your insights.

I must say that the DOGA program is very helpful, and I enjoy using it very much.

I will try to have the set done by Dec 15th so it too, if possible, can be included in the new burn.

Thank you all very much.

Val & Puke, thanks for the tip on size placement. Shyrka thank you for the indepth feed back. This helps me focus my attention on a more direct design type.

More to come soon.

I have named this set, a non trek set, The United Freespace Alliance. It will either be a Human or Human based alien Race. I have not decided yet.

(New Images) Click HERE

Well, the ships are done. I finished up all the re-masking tonight. I am very pleased with how the fighters turned out. They look mean as hell.

The ships are sized, and classed according to design. I have a nice diversity of ships, but they all resememble one in another in basic look.

The satellite and mine images are also completed. I am really pleased with how the Satellite image came out.

I have also created the Race Embelm. I like it a lot as well. I am uploading the fighters, satellite, and race embelm images to my site now.

I am still working on finding a Race Portrait.

Well, what can I say, I got board. I made this set from start to finish in a little over 12 hours. That included the learning curve for DoGa, and the time to convert to BMP.

The DoGa L2 program is a lot of fun to use. I gave the Developers of DoGa credit in my read-me file with hope that people will buy their product.

If your interested in seeing what I have done you can view the entire race by clicking HERE

For a close up of the fighters and Race emblem, just click the link in my Last post.

All that remains is to generate the AI for the Race. I have the history files done, so the hard part is over. All I have to do now is set up the AI, and zip it all together.

God I love building ship sets. (J/K kinda )

Your opinions are always welcome.

I really like the shipset. If I could make one suggestion it would be this: The satelite looks as though it needs a change of direction. As it stands it looks to much like a ship. It is still a really nice design though.
