Woodman I looked at the original image and it is like 300x1100 which is hard to resize the height 1100 to 300 without the width going to like 20 and keeping the correct aspect. lol!

So great work, I think it looks awesome in the game. I hope some more modders use the Ship Making tool, it really lends itself to creating ships like that capital, with minimal creative effort.

It could certainly solve alot of my problems finding Star Trek ships for the lesser known races. With this I could maybe attempt the Sona (ehsummrel1 will be pleased), the betelguesians, the tellarites. Wow, like I say, it could solve alot of my problems, so thanks lordxorn. [:)]

you guys are getting more specialized and effective over time......in the game main menu, besides the change theme, we should also have a "game utilities" option for goodies like this one

nice work

Wow ... Guys you have been bussy bees when i was off sleeping [:D]
I love the looks of the carrier.

@ Igard I installed Paint.net some days ago but I didn't had the time to install some Alpha channel plugin.

@ Lordxorn In the shipbuilder you can change the background to white or other color.
How to do it => simply save a empty *.bmp. and then load this bmp as the new default background.
This makes it easier to clean it upp afterwards.

=> What do you guys think about this picture ?
New spacebugs ?

Awesome, is that a DW screenshot?

Also, what are they, are they from Starcraft?

OMG!!. its the... Zerg![X(]

I found those on the BF forum.

Those are not yet dw [:D]

Not cool, not cool.

 Zerg = BAD.

You'll be the death of all of us!

Those are some damn nasty looking bugs!

I don't know about Paint.NET. I didn't realise it needed a plugin to use alpha channel. I only have it installed incase I need it for something.

GIMP is a little bit harder to get into if you're not familiar with photoshop. All you have to do with that is go to layer > transparency > Add Alpha Channel, and then start erasing/selecting the background and deleting it.

Awesome, scary looking bugs. Of course, the bugs need to have articulated limbs so that they can be animated in the game. It's not that hard to do, but time consuming.

Nope, They where made from the same template set. I still have to figure out how you can add custom made templates.
Im going to make a checklist tonight to be sure i have the agreement off all those guys to make a convert mod to dw from them [:)]

And i need a good fighter and bomber.
Something like a stilleto with wings [:D]

love these details and new ideas

This is the result ingame for the capitalshp I expected it to be cooler ingame.
maybe iff i add some exaust trails and lights ?

Looks much sharper than the one I made looked in game.  Did you shorten and fatten it a bit?  Also, what image size did you use?

Indeed WoodMan i cutted the middle part andpart of the tail and made it slightly fatter.
The dimension is 306x819 pixels. never been this high lol [:D]

Update :
Left ship will be the troop transporter.

This shipset is awesome. Can you continue to develop it and release it please?

Dude, these look fabulous!
