Cheers all!

Things are getting very difficult as we near the end of the series. Pretty much all of the usuable art has been used, sometimes twice over already. Coming up with unique looking ships that stand out from the other races is tricky.

Here is an Ackdarian Cruiser, looks like Ackdarian will be next. Also, they are one of my favourite races [:)]

Man these all look very, very sharp.
I have been holding off downloading because you seem to be adding more and more; But I think the time to download is now.

Looking good. And best of luck with the rest of 'em! You've done excellent job so far.

With Diverse Worlds set as the active theme, I get this error when starting a new game from the main menu:

Code: Select all

 The following exception occurred in the DataGridView:
 
 System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid.
 
 To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError event.

Are you using RotS expansion or the original Distant Worlds?

Also interesting: the message popped up 5 times in a row, and during new game setup, the "Your Empire" slider for "Home System" was all the way down to "Harsh", where it has never been set -- and there are 5 options in that slider. Related?

Aha -- this was the case: I had previously been using the "Star Trek" theme from TRSE, and had added custom empires (5 of them, in fact). When I got to the other empires screen, the error was happening again. Once I removed all of them, the errors stopped.

Ah glad you fixed it [;)]

This issue has been fixed in the new Beta patch released tonight (stickied on the main page of the forum).

Hey all!

Version 17 with the Ackdarian is now available for download on the first page. The ships were made from a very small stock of original art, because I had already used the same original shipset to make both the Quameno and Ketarov and I didn't want them to appear too similar. However, overall, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Have fun!

A possible Naxx design. Just messing around trying to find a style. I know people wanted wings (including me) but thats pretty hard to do well with the original art as there aren't any big wings [:D]

Edit: Can anyone tell me what the default Naxx flag colours are? Do they have that dark pinky colour with a pink symbol, or that dark pinky colour with a yellow symbol?

Just looking at my little colour chart, it's the sort of Purple/Pink colour. Between the Dark purple and the bright pink. The secondary colour is yellow.

I'd say that's about the right colour scheme for them you've got there, it's pretty Naxxy looking.

No No. It's more of a Lilac. [;)]

Either way I'm sure the Naxxilians don't smell like either of those.

Ackdarians look great! And I don't care if they look a bit similar to Quanemo. They are both aquatic races after all.

Naxilian ship reminds me of Ketarov resupply ship, but looks good otherwise.
Not many races left: Naxilians, Shandars and Atuuks + Ancients and Shakturis if moi remembers right.
