Argh! This is like choosing red or yellow Ferrari in Forza 3! Both look so awesome in their own way.

I always wondered why I would see a yellow Ferrari on the street. I would ask a friend "Why would you have it in yellow?", they would reply "I think it looks great" and I would simply say "Yeah but it still looks better in red".

Yellow Farraris look great, Red will always look better! [:D]

Hmmm... Are yellow Ferraris cheaper than red ones? I'd tend to think so.

NefariousKoel, Nice. That looks much the same as the Lyran destroyer I posted but way better graphics. Yeah, it does look like Ketarov. I was actually meaning that it could be Sluken, but with a different colour scheme and some 'insecty' bits added. But, true enough, it does look Ketarov.[;)]

One could never go back to vanilla races after these.The vanilla ships were good but never seemed the match the actual races that used them.

Cheers Ash!

Hey all, here is another Boskara thingy, a Primary Basehive (Large Spaceport)

Purple is now the default colour when you install the mod, red versions of all ships and bases will also be available in an extra folder to replace the Purples if you like [;)]

ETA: Tomorrow [:)]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!! [X(][X(][X(]

I was just gonna request an HR Giger-ish shipset, looks like you're one step ahead :D
im so happy right now. ffffuu :)

How are you planning on doing the Kaidan's? (the ones i proposed to have the sleek "grey-ish" designs)
Looking at their portraits and such, they do look like they'd fit with very sleek almost "wax-molded" ships, like their suit or head looks lol.
But some kind of flesh-colored organic style (though symmetrical, they seem a bit perfectionist) would also fit imo. Though i dont know how hard that would be to do :)

If you've ever seen the movie Existenz, you know what i mean :D

Ewww... I was drinking coffee when I saw that! Do not want!
My own picture of Kiadian ships is something similar to originals. Very high tech but still sturdy. I especially like the original destroyer and heavy cruiser.
Interesting to see what Woodman comes up with 'em.

RE: Diverse Worlds v12 - Boskara

Post by WoodMan »

Hey all!

Version 12 is now available on the front page. It contains the Boskara, but also it contains a bonus content folder that includes a red colour schemed Boskara that you can use to replace the default purple one if you prefer red.

Now, a special Introduction to Hive Life! Enjoy!

Top Row:

Royal Hive - Main warship crewed by Warbosks usually led by a Royalbosk.
War Hive - Warship crewed by Warbosks, often seen destroying malfunctioning Teekan ships, see "An Introduction to Teekan Engineering" a few pages back.

Second Row

Motherhive - Mobile base of operations crewed by Warbosks and Workerbosks.
Workerhive - Crewed by Workerbosks, used for building things.
Seedhive - Seeds planets with Boskeggs, ready for hatching and colonizing.

Third Row

These are the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Basehives, crewed by a mix of Warbosks and Workerbosks.

Fourth Row

Breedinghive (Resort Base) - A happy place for Loverbosks(?)[:D] One of the only Boskara hives that is probably more ugly on the inside than on the outside.
Sciencehive - Place for scientific research. Crewed by Boffinbosks(?)[8|]

For the sake of the Galaxy, equip these with Scanner-Jammers [;)]

Thanks all!

I've been experimenting with Ketarov designs based on the suggestions by poeple in this thread, but so far nothing concrete. As soon as I manage to make something passable I'll post a pic [;)]

In the meantime, I'm working on something that I hope J HG T likes (fingers crossed) [:D]

First attempt at a Kiadian ship, was a Destroyer:
