Default Re: Corrian Commonwealth updated!!!

I wasn't able to get much time play time this weekend, so I was going to wait to comment until I got to play with them a little and see how the AI worked. But, I can perhaps give you a few comments now.

Overall, it is an intriguing looking set, and the race concept and background sound great. There a couple of things that I think would improve the shipset.

First, it looks like all of the ships are pretty much the same size. From past experience with my own sets, I believe that you get a better effect by showing some size difference, especially in the minis (see the change I made in the Azorani for an example of that), but also, at least to some extent, in the main portraits.

Second, it seems like the view points change for some of the different ships. It looks better when all of the ships are viewed from the same angle.

Third, I'm not sure if I like the inconsistencies in color. I realize that it is certainly possible for a race to use different color schemes on different spacecraft, but somehow the differences in this one just don't fit in my opinion. Others may disagree with me on this, though. I have discovered that people have dramatically different opinions on color schemes.

Anyway, those are just some of my thoughts. I like the race, and am going to give them a shot to see how the AI performs, when I have the chance.
