<t> Well, just an idea, but wouldnt it make sense to give the borg exclusive access to a technology that negates all maintenance costs and buffs what little economy they would have with 100% aggression? I mean they shouldnt have an economy at all really, but of course you can't do that.<br/>

Thanks for the offer rich, but I see you have some shipset links in your signature. Would you be all right with me using those? 90% of the races in this mod would have no formal ship models because they were basically footnotes in the ...

If someone has the miniatures of the warhammer40k ships and posts top-down views of them, I could do vector art for the mod if you want.

<t> Tried the mod, it *works*, naturally, but there are graphic glitches with the planets. Looks like the way shadow bitmaps are handled have changed in distant worlds universe.<br/>
<br/>
Fortunately it is a very easy fix:<br/>
<br/>
assuming you backed up the "images" folder before installing ...

<t> Well first off you cant just run a couple games and come to a conclusion that colonizable planets are few and far between. Sometimes you get a lot, sometimes you barely get any. Random chance is a huge factor here. In fact my latest game had me starting with far too many colonizable planets in ...

<t> No, I am simply releasing a "pristine" base shipset as a modders resource. If I added lights and engine flames then anyone who wished to make an EVE mod would be stuck with these lights and engine flames as I made them.<br/>
<br/>
Once I have the base shipsets out I will probably then go back ...

Once I have them all finished I'll most likely consolidate everything into one new thread. The 5mb/single file upload limit per post makes it very difficult to make one single thread now and simply update the first page.

<r> And here's a small preview!<br/>

<t> Here are the Minmatar ships that I've been working on plus a few stations. Now all that is left is Gallente and the other minor factions, as well as an update of the existing Caldari and Amarr ships.<br/>
<br/>
As with all the other eve sets I do not take credit for modeling the ships. I ...

To be clear, is the galaxy size (x , y) always the same, its just the density of the amount of starts changes from 100 to 1400? If that's the case I think I will start making most of my games using ...

and packing/unpacking... hardening to withstand the stresses of accelleration...

Basically I would expect a mobile mining ship to be much less efficient than a stationary one.

Or that something of comparable size on a mobile miner is less efficient.

I'm not surprised that paint wont open them (and mspaint does not handle .png correctly anyway). Photoshop should though. I have photoshop cs2 and it opens all of them fine.

<t> Right now I'm releasing the shipsets without any extras added at all so that modders can use them and add engine trails/lights however they prefer. If I were to include engine trails and lights in these releases then modders would be stuck with them however I made them. I feel that a "base" set ...

<r> Hehe, I imagine it would look like very very ugly on ships. With all the turning and such it definitely wouldnt look right at all.<br/>
<br/>
I'm almost finished with minmatar now. Heres a preview of the Firetail with textures corrected and all the proper glows added:<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br ...

<r> Ok, this is what theyll look like if I take the time to extract all the textures correctly, fix the lighting, and apply everything correctly on the model. Takes forever to do though. I'm doing this with all the Minmatar ships so it probably wont be done until Friday or so.<br/>
<br/>
And here ...

<t> I'm still figuring out how to do the textures right. They get extracted from the game in one file which then has to be separated in photoshop manually... Then you have to apply them in a special way inside max based on the numbers in another file.. takes a lot of time. So what you have here is ...

Cant size down ships or stations either. The engine autosizes them based on components no matter what you do.

ORIGINAL: astote

why not put pics of all the ships?

Hehe, well theres over 30 ships and stations included... So to put them up in a decent size would take a whole pages worth of posts

<r> And a small preview of the shipset!<br/>
<br/>
I'm curious as to what everyone thinks of the alternate (perspective) Station views as opposed to the normal top down view. I figured since stations dont move, it helps to separate them from the ships in addition to making them much more visually ...
