Take your time [;)]

Well it turns out I had actually saved my test station, so I just coloured it using the industrial textures. Looks okay I think. Didn't have any faction in mind when I made the conversion though, or what kind of station it is, maybe a gas mining or maybe a smallspaceport... who knows [:D]

Heya!

I haven't updated for ages, I stopped working on the mod for a couple weeks, I had some exams, but started work on it again now. Below is some Mechan ships, it looks like this set will be finished soon.

There is a Gas Mining Station and a normal Mining Station, as well as a Escort (the tiny one), a Colony Ship (the big one), a Exploration Ship (the longish narrow one) and a Frigate (the other one).

Great work Woodman! Glad you've found time to continue the modding. Hope the
exams went well also! If you need any assistance in image searching let me know,
I will help.

Cheers dude, the exams did go well [;)]

Are these Spaceports okay? They are a bit simple, just cut and paste of ship fronts from the Shakturi set. Things is, I used the Shakturi set to make all ships for the Mechans, and there aren't really any spaceports in that set to mess around with [&:]

I guess I can remake them at a later date maybe, let me know if you think they look too much like ships and not stations! Also, because of size they came out all blurry, so I had to increase their size in photoshop and then Sharpen them a lot and then go over the nasty looking bits with Blur, not ideal solution [:D]

I think they are fine, WoodMan. I'm not saying they are great nor are they perfect, but the important thing is that you're enjoying making these. I'll download your mod and play it because  I like the theme. Nice images are only a bonus.

All you need to make them look more like stations are  some antennas, satellite dishes or solar panels to make them less symmetrical.

Antennas are easy, just draw a line coming out from the station and put a light on the end.

Good luck!

The images are neat.
I really have not tried to construct my own. I am sure that is not easy.
