Just out of interest, is your ship mod still ongoing or did you abandon the project?

The ships look sensational, but I am somehow reluctant to install them "incomplete", with only part of the races having
the new designs and part the old ones.

For the last weeks my attention shifted to a different projects, but I still am planning on making new ships for this thread. I do not know when exactly will that be, but probably some time after the new expansion is out. It is not a complete mod, but I think it would work best when mixed with other custom stuff.

My first post on the forum, firstly great work on these ships they look awesome!

A question though, how do I install and use them and can I use them all i.e. different ships for different races?

Secondly I've only just been through the tutorials and not even played the game yet, should I play the game with default ships first or jump straight in with this mod?
I've been beta testing myself for decades.

Hi Bleek and welcome to the forum, each mod has instructions in the first post. Basically, you just need to copy the content in the customization folder and then choose the theme when you enter in the game (you'll know when). Yes, you can use different ships with different races
As for the last question it's up to you but even if this mod is awesome I would still recomend trying the game as it is at first to see it as Elliot designed it....at least for a short while [:)]

Just saw your second post, it's indeed a shame the game does not have more coverage but you're not late by any means....the best is yet to come so have tons of fun.

The instructions are that simple I completely missed them! [:D]

Agreed with playing the game 'vanilla' first, I'm doing so now.

The new expansion sounds interesting and will hopefully refine the game even more than the previous release.

Just a small bump for delivering the sensational weapons mod.
Looks so much better than stock!

LOL

I like these much better then stock myself. Actually, I am already working in secret on making a whole new set of weapons effects to replace the legend's vanillia as soon as I get it. I only wish I had a better idea about how the beam weapons work. It's probably going to use a simple graphic of a vertical line that will be stretched from ship one to shib two. Similar method is already used for the planet destroyer laser sprite.

And here I was thinking about mentioning Legends to you, Kalthaniell. Nice to see you are at it already.

Superb stuff, i'm looking forwards to trying these out. Are they designed to replace the existing 'familysets' or can they be added in so i'll have more than just the 11 sets of ship images that vanilla uses?

Dude love your stuff, everyone one of the modders who have added their own custom work are leaps and bounds beyond stuff I have done. I just wish I had the time to follow suit between a family and 6 classes.

Yeah, you are a bit busy...
I am happy to combine forces with your to make an SW mod... but I take a little of this and a little of that for my stuff...
