I'm going to guess, is it a human ship?

Got it in one [&o]

Its gotta be an Atuuk ship then

lol, I don't think the Atuuk use an iron fist, they prefer a big novelty inflatable hammer [:D]

Yay! That makes up for me always losing at pulling the christmas crackers. [:D]

The cruiser looks fantastic btw.

Version 3 is now available, with a new shipset for the Humans.  These were difficult to make compared to the other two sets.  They are not straight conversions of a shipset like the Zenox and the Dhayut sets were.  For the Humans I converted shapes from one shipset and textures from another, which made it harder to get them looking nice.

I'm not really that happy with the bases but I like how the ships turned out.  As Humans are the most played race I wanted them to reflect the personality of most DW players, i.e. we are the good guys, but nevertheless we are going to crush all who stand before us mercilessly, I think I managed it [:D]

Next up, I want to try making a non-symetrical shipset, because all that I've made so far are symmetrical.  I think I know the perfect candidates, small furry fellows who have little technology of their own and cobble together what they have salvaged from others [;)]

Great stuff WoodMan! More variety is always nice. I don't feel generic when using my beloved Kiadians and their shipset (which is easily my favourite apart from the cap ship. Guardian cap ship FTW) now that humans have their own ships. Also, playing as Dhayuuts feels more tempting than ever. My next game or one after that will definetly be with Dhayuuts now.
Thank you again and keep up the great work!

[WoodMan]

np J HG T, glad your Kiadians now don't have to share [:D]

I love those red ships....we've long been needing more of that color in the game![:D]

[ASHBERY76]

These are a great improvement from vanilla.

What are those Teekans pinching this time?

[WoodMan]

Korabbian Cheese, I believe. It greatly enhances the squeek of anyone who consumes it, giving your colonies a development bonus.

Just downloaded it, looking forward to seeing how it'll look ingame

The Teekan ships are taking a long time to create. So, as the update might not come for a few days here is a preview of their ships: An Introduction to Teekan Engineering

The Teekans don't have any particular design philosophy, they generally see what they can get their claws on and stick it haphazardly together, hoping it will work. There are many failed designs that have broken apart in space, unexpectedly exploded or simply suffered navigational errors and ended up flying around in circles... at light speed... for decades

The Teekans live and work in the brown dome shaped areas with the orange trim, the rest of their ships are cobbled together and used for engines, reactors, cargo, fuel storage and the like.

Below are some of the more successful designs that have as of yet not unexpectedly exploded or suffered navigational issues dropping them out of warp in front of a Boskara cruiser or some similar malfunction.

I just played an hour or two as humans with your shipset. Works like a charm and the teekans are cool. My favourite until now even!

Only thing is that it becomes really difficult to see at a glance whats going on. Maybe it would be an idea to have some standard design rules e.g. escorts are thinnest while capital ships are fattest?

Cheers!

[Igard]

They're so cute!

They're also very very very extremely super awesomely cool.

Glad your enjoying the ships!  I'll keep in mind about making ships easier to identify.  The Human ships actually use original shapes from DW shipset 1, only the textures are changed and I cut off any pointy bits.  A quick note that may or may not help, I don't put lights on Escorts or Frigates, but there are lights on Destroyers, Cruisers and Capitals.  I think this is actually how a few of the originals work in DW, I made it a standard rule for all my shipsets so far.

Please continue your fantastic efforts Woodman. We appreciate the dedication to the game
that you, Igard and others are showing. [&o]

You guys keep putting it out....we'll keep testing it!

[WoodMan]

Version 4 is now available with the Teekan ships [:)]

It may take a while of playing them before you get used to what ship is what, due to their style, all cobbled together.  I hope there is a Teekan player or two out there as these were a nightmare to make [:D]  so please enjoy

[Haree78]

We'll enjoy them playing as other races, it's nice to see other races flying around in their own ships

They look great by the way.
