Ah I now see where you were talking about for your shippack and effects pack. Mmmmmm Interesting. 

[shinobu]

As always, much appreciated Kal- hope for more good things from you in the future... this is the type of thing that really enhances DW!

[Kalthaniell]

Thx guys, it means a lot to me. Hi Lonestar what brings you here?

[w1p]

chocolate shipset is AMAZING, can't get over how good it looks? At first on the forum post I thought wow looks really detailed. Then as I was installing I was thinking mmm brown bit of a boring colour, but no they are nice, fit in really well with the rest of the shipsets + planet graphics.

I like how the freighters have those different coloured cargo containers.It is a nice touch that I would like to have seen in all the other shipsets.

I like that too...
The only reason I do not use more kinds of frieghters is for the fog of war. If they all look alike, I have to be careful before opening fire... that is if it is my intention to open fire.
So I have two sets of freighters only that have been put out across all of the shipsets.

But I agree... I like the different colord cargo containers...

Thank you for this great ships, personally i cant play without them) hope they will be updated for Leends. Your weapon pack is the best for DW.

I seem to get a significant slowdown when using the green and purple shipsets but not choc..any idea why ? 

[Kalthaniell]

Thx guys for the positive comments. It's good to know that one's work is appreciated and enjoyed.

I'm not entirely sure but I think it might be due to destroyers and frigates having 500x500 resolution. There's a lot more ships of this class around during gameplay, so theoretically that would explain the slowdown. It wasn't a problem ,as far as I know, for ROTS, but Legends use different image loading system. Reducing smaller ships to 300x300 is a part of what I'll do in the updates. I only wish I had more time to do it faster :/

Is that even possible? Having more time, offcourse, not the faster part [:)]

It is. I spend much less time on shipsets and DW stuff then you guys probably realize. If the only thing I did in my free time was making new neat ships for this game, there would be something around fifty more shipsets in the first thread by now . Hell, I could've made my own DW expansion ^^ (If I knew more about coding and programming)...Yeah, I wish I will spend more time on DW this year.

[Kalthaniell]

I just updated magneta shipset. I reduced most of the ships to 300x300. The only ships which will be 500x500 from now on are: capital ships, resupply ships, some colony ships and some construction ships. There's never a lot of that ship classes being build and if they are they are the biggest.

I didn't want to remake the preview from the first post so I'll just post the new carrier here. It's 500x500 below but the one in the upload is 300x300. I did not test any of the ships, new or old for legends so please let me know if any are blurry or have too many position lights or engines etc.


Vasari updated too:


Alliance updated as well. You already saw this one, but I'll repost it anyways


First AFF shipset updated.


And the last shipset is updated, uploaded and converted for legends

[Sarissofoi]

This is really stunning.
Great job and keep up the good work.

Great work Kalthaniell! With your permission, I plan to use a few of your
ships in an upcoming mod I am working on. I'll certainly have you credited
for your designs that I use. [&o]

Sure Ehsumrell, you can use them. That's what I make'em for xD

[Shuul]

Thanks alot, cant play without this anymore[;)]
But will you update weapon pack?

[Kalthaniell]

I would, but I'd need to know legends weapons image formats. Resolutions and such

[Gareth_Bryne]

Kalthaniell, can you make a compilation pack? To have all of the stuff together?

The gamefront links don't work...

[Kalthaniell]

I'll do that when I'll have everything updated. Otherwise I'd have to reupload it every time I update something.

[Grisha]

Woohoo!, carriers!
