Thanks guys [:)]
I have another shipset dilemma, the ships look nice, but who should the belong to? Let me know what you think.
When I started making them I was making them for the Haakonish, which is why I made them brown and bulky looking, brown because the Haakonish colours are brown, and bulky because the Haakonish are bullies. Then I realised with the green on them they are in fact the default coloour scheme of the Atuuk, and I currently have no idea what I'm going to do for Atuuk. But also, I want to make the Ancient Guardians ships a bronze and green colour scheme.
So two questions: Who do you think these ships suit best? Out of general interest what do you think Atuuk ships should look like? I'd be interested to know [:D]
They are left to right Construction Ship, Colony Ship and Escort.

My gut says Haakonish.Atuuk should look less advanced.

They look very Haakonish to me. Big brutes that they are.
I think it would be cool for the Atuuk to have a quite basic style, but maybe they could splash slogans and attach things to their ships? Like hunting trophies?

Those definetly look very Haakonish. As others said, Atuuks should look very simple and primitive. Even more so than "crappy" looking Teekans (which look great BTW).

Hi Woodman,
Gotta say, they do look good. I assume you are editing existing ships together via "paint.net". I may be able to host them via my Distant worlds website if you are interested.
Anyway, keep going, I'm sure Elliot is paying close attention to these as they are in the same style, yet different.
Well done.

What amazes me is how well you can make these look with a simple paint program. The look great.

Guess what? [:D]
More ships! v6 now available on front page with Haakonish ships. I'm using a different site for the DL, please let me know if there are any problems with the download.
+ Happy New Year, anyone else already broke their resolution? [:D]

Awesome work woodman! I actually have a request of sorts....[8|]
could you try your hand at making a set out of some of those insect looking green and yellow ships in the extra ships folder. I think that you could probably do something pretty cool with those ( just a suggestion ).

Wow, that might be difficult. I'm trying to stick to more gritty realistic colours, so those garish colours might need editing a bit, also the military large and small are exactly the same and the colonyship is only 118 pixels big. But, I will certainly have a play with them and see what happens, the whole Dhayut set was converted from just three ships and the Haakonish started off blue and yellow too, the Freedom Alliance set.

Great work WoodMan [&o]. Enjoying using Diverse Worlds. Not long got DW and RotS but enjoying it so far.

Great work, these really adding depth to my game with each race looking differently.

Thx Shark. They are made in photoshop btw, I'm not familiar with Paint.net
LOL I actually like those colors!
[X(] I'll keep that in mind then [;)] I'll probably use those when I get around to making the pirate ships, though I'm thinking probably black and yellow, like wasps [:D]
@ moonraker & setekh: Thanks for the kind comments guys, there is still plenty more to come [:)]
Below is a test ship. I was just messing around with ideas for the Ancient Guardians. Although I already like their set, I think they look a bit conventional, especially considering they have no crew, so no need for a conventional ship with a full hull.

You keep it going Woodman...your creative "galactic shipyard" genius is overflowing! [&o]
BTW....Happy New Year!

Looks nice Woodman. It actually looks kinda odd, in good way though.
At first I got very strong deja vu wibe from that ship. It just reminded me of I-War series, the corvettes in it to be precise.

I hadn't heard of I-war before, but just looked it up on google and I think I found the exact ship you mean, its pretty identical shape to the above [:D]
I've decided to cut off the cockpit, now these ships look extremely weird, but I think thats a good thing. The Mechanoids are unlike any other race in DW, they are conciousness inside a machine, so seeing this kind of ship flying around, you definately know it belongs to someone 'different'.

I agree that the mechanoids should definitely have an 'unconventional' ship design, yes.
(Seriously? Firefox doesn't have 'mechanoids' in it's dictionary?)
