Holy crap, I was just thinking about making some Homeworld sprites for this game!!

I'm not sure if the game can handle such a big ship.  because it will be a very big ship. bigger than the pan galactic gargle blaster. after party is made up of 3 ovoids. shindig is made up of 2 after parties. the pan galactic gargle blaster is made up of 2 shindigs. you see where this is going?

There are some that are kind of... bleh, and there are others that kind of make me want to bleed out my eyes. Basically, work on getting closer to the game styles. These vibrant colors just don't work in a universe where man has fallen to crushingly low levels of humanity.

I agree. I really like the ships that have faded colours like the Rapier Cruiser. It gives me the feeling that these ships have been in existence for a hundred years only to get destroyed in their first battle. That, rather than hot off the assembly line with a fresh paint job only to be thrown into the grinder. Other than that I really like what you've come up with so far!

Some space mech ones as fighters or frigates would be pretty cool. Inspiration could be drawn from Metal Warriors (http://astraldojo.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/metal_warriors_17.jpg) for the SNES, Mechwarrior, Gundam Wing or any of the plethora of mech games/movies. I found a ton of top down mech sprites from a game called Megamek (http://sourceforge.net/projects/megamek/files/Current%20Stable/MegaMek%20v0.34.10/MegaMek-v0.34.10.zip/download). If you download the zip of the game you can find tons of sprites in the data > images > units folder.

a: 1-4 harpoints depending on size. hardpoints could consist of held guns, guns mounted to arms and shoulder mounted cannons or missile pods.
b: reds/greys. Their colour doesn't really matter.
c: fighter or frigate for the larger designs.

Things that could help indicate they are mechs would be having feet hang behind the ship slightly. Visible arms/head.

Keep up the good work!

Edit: fixed spelling, added links, added criticism

I personally don't care for the rampant use of the hue slider; some of the joins also seem hastily done and don't mesh together well. Some ships work out, like they were meant to be ships, and some just don't.

As to the above suggestion, I never understood mecha. I mean, whats the point of what amounts to a giant articulated battlesuit IN SPACE when arms and legs do nothing for propulsion, needlessly add to complexity and fragility, and the things that someone could say they could do (ie, punching out another ship, grabbing onto another ship, etc) are either ridiculous to begin with, or could have the same end goal achieved by another, simpler device. On the ground, mecha stand up above their cover, making them prime targets, and again, leg-based locomotion - while it does allow for more versatility than treads, done right - is still too fragile and expensive to really justify.

Criticism? Okay, I can do that, but keep in mind that, although harsh, I'm only doing this to help you.

The majority of these kitbashes are pretty terrible--blunt, but true. There are a few that look rather nice, but we'll get to those later.

First off, let's look at some of these from the perspective of a ship designer. You've got these massive, clunky, asymmetrical metal clusterfucks that look like engineers just duct-taped one ship to another, and then covered them with layer after layer of sheet metal and walked off the job laughing.

(http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/medikohl/starfarer/convoy.png)

What? This ship makes absolutely no sense in the slightest. Those had better be some really, really strong support beams attaching those two smaller ships to the main one, otherwise they're going to fly off like a modern military aircraft launching a missile.

(http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/medikohl/starfarer/hauler.png)

This one appears to just have some random parts slapped on the front for no logical reason at all.

(http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/medikohl/starfarer/fuel.png)

I don't even... it doesn't resemble a ship. It's a mess of parts.


The point I'm trying to make is that you really need to think when you make these. Don't just slap parts together and say "oh hey that blends well I'll just leave it and call it good." When you use parts from other ships, you've got to arrange them logically, also in a way that blends well and looks aesthetically pleasing. The aforementioned ships are illogically designed, and look pretty bad on top.

As I hate it when people only give negative criticism, here's what you're doing right:

(http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/medikohl/starfarer/everest.png)
This one looks pretty nice--it blends well, it makes sense, it might not be the greatest looking thing in the world, but I'd use it in a mod.

(http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/medikohl/starfarer/bucket.png)
This ship actually looks like a tanker--and it does a hell of a better job of portraying one than that Dram frigate in the game already.

There are a few others that look decent too, but these two stood out the most to me.

In the end, I just want to say this: quality over quantity. You've been chugging these things out so fast that you couldn't have possibly spent a decent amount of time on them. So slow down and think before you make more. That is all.

I noticed that your rapier cruiser appears to be kitbashed out of my kitbash (the phoenix monitor)* - several sections are just WAY too perfect of a match to have simply duplicated it. Not to mention it looks... like its melted. I wouldn't have minded as much if it didn't look... like a mess... but still, uncredited work-taking is just wrong.

I actually put a lot of time and effort into making something that doesn't fall into the lower 90% of sturgeon's law. At the very, very least, the source should be noted.

*I had directly posted the sprite's graphics in the 'adding custom ships' thread

EDIT - And I see that's the Anvil, not the brawler or a custom hammerhead kitbash fused to the bottom.  >:( AGAIN uncredited

I want to fill a convoy full of biomass/minerals from my orbital mines 4 systems away and transport it to my chosen farming world to start my empire in the far corner of the sector, i want to be able to choose from a wide variety of specialist freighters depending on the threat level.

I was thinking more about Asimovs foundation series and the ships used by the galactic empire. They were built massive and everything on an absurd scale because it dident occur to them to do it any other way, they were the most powerful faction and they wanted ships that would stand there and trade broad sides rather then flit about.

After seeing some over sized frigates i got the idea, old outdated over sized ships that are slow but super dependable. Frigates the size of small cruisers that carry the armament of a destroyer, cruisers that rival battleships that carry absurd specialist weapons like a cruiser with nothing but fixed broadside mounts.

Bah pirates should just use the older obsolete ships with some advanced captured ships thrown in that design is to good to reliquate to the pirate faction. It looks like an epic flagship and its completely unique in terms of parts--i'm thinking ultimate endgame flagship, fast(for a capital) has a good flight deck capacity, adequate guns to defend itself from all but the most dedicated capital killers. A flying throne.

The ships that are clearly made from bits and pieces could easily be explained as the standard construct templates producing ships in modules that you add together except to make new ships their mix and matching because the ability to innovate from scratch is to advanced. This can also help explain why the old outdated ships are cheaper then the newer ships because all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen where the variants require you to know a little of what your doing.

Well, if names are just placeholder why you didn't name your ship: name1, name2, name3, name4, etc?

I think it's ok to put name on ship in second replay of topic ("other peoples ships.") if they come with one, right?

Hmmmmm are you still busy? I'm in need of specific ship designs. I'm completely useless in drawing or kitbashing or whatsoever so when you have spare time i would ask you for bunch of ship designs, buuuuuut, i don't know if they can be made from ships currently in Starfarer...

Onslaught was not enough speed, and paragon armor
All these problems are resolved in a Demolisher
I also added firepower

The colony ship is beautiful and demands to be in the campaign same with the empty freighter(would be awesome to be filled up based on your cargo at the time) but the circle ship is down right silly in a 2d environment. The carrier also looks great as a civvy ship--a great mining carrier.

Post by: intothewildblueyonder on March 05, 2012, 07:48:57 PM
Thanks for the feedback :D
yeah the colony ship is my favorite(so I made another see below) . I saw the stations and the planet art  and though how it could fit inside of a paragon. That along with some errors in editing that worked in my favor you have the colony ship.

I saw the atlas and thought well what would fit if you modulated it

in regards to the circle-ship ("Fully" Operational hegemony Battle Station) I wanted to fix it up so it would have more depth to it but unfortunately photoshop crashed on me  :P so I just haven't got around to fixing it up. This would entail making the top look distinct and have it 'pop-out' and additional shadowing (it sort of does already due to the out-of-focus look to the bottom, I really needed to make the top a different color). Though I really just made it to have a battle-station in the game, one that didn't consider small fighters a threat...with an open exhaust port ;)

Haha the 2nd one looks like its a globe inside the ship but the first one looks more realistic with the heavier structure surrounding it--you'd arm the crap out of your flying planet. You could also have different planet maps in there so you could have them turned into seedy trading hubs.

It would be awesome if they were basically flying ecology's for terraforming. You would land them on a planet and introduce planets and animals then replenish them again before flying off to another planet.

I had an idea earlier, but I have no idea if it's possible. Maybe you guys could look into it if it tickles your fancy? The idea is basically a very broad capital ship that carries only universal mounts, used for testing out all kinds of configurations. I think it could work pretty well in a mod like Gun Runners, where it could be a great ship to usefully test a lot of trafficked weapons with.

Below is a VERY basic layout for it. I suck at drawing, so yeah... Should get the idea across pretty well, though. :P
(http://ugstunt.com/universalcapship1.png)

The idea is to have a capital ship with a huge wall of firepower, great speed and LOTS of tweakability, but with a comparatively very vulnerable hull behind that. And maybe a very high price, to make it more of an ultimate goal to attain. Ofcourse, that'd all be up to the people willing to use such a design in an actual mod. Would love to see it made entirely with universal mounts though, if anybody does take it up.

Also, nice ships, arcibalde! Especially that Devourer kicks ass. Already a worthy opponent to the Parrot by looks alone. ;)

On a more specific note, Levik and Arcibalde, I elect you joint first in my personal aesthetic appreciation, and I really love the Devourer specifically - it looks like nothing else out there, seems like it would be nasty in a fight, and yet still fits the general Starfarer aesthetic.  I also want to continue the praise for just how good intothewildblueyonder's colony ships look!

depends on what faction we decide to jam it into, pirate, TT, heg, independent, mercenary, gun runner, alien, or some new unheard of faction (since we figured out how to add planets into the game) we may just take your ship add a few balancing tweaks to it and throw it into the minimash. then give you a credit based on ship layout. this mainly would happen with the capital ships due to the amount of time it takes me to make them. everything else takes 5-10 minutes tops

Alright, sounds very reasonable. I think I'm done taking capital ship designs from here for a while anyways - got 2 already which balance eachother out nicely. :)

On a side note, I got a question for other modders - is there any way to make the square around a ship in the tactical view smaller? For some reason the Scorpion/Cross/WideR cruiser I took from archibalde in this thread has a really large square around it, even larger than all of the capital ships. Picture below.

(http://ugstunt.com/oddissue1.png)

It also shows up a bit oddly in Redbull's ship editor, being nearly cut off at the bottom and generally zoomed into a bit too much when compared to other ships in it.

Is there any way you could split up the sprites into an "in use" category and an "unused" one? Would make it a lot easier to pick a few for new mods. ;)

(not that I'm planning anything myself any time soon, but still - I know it took a while for me to find out which designs could be used uniquely in my mod)

Also, I might be adding some of my "own" kitbashes to this topic, soon. Your worksheets got me off to a nice start! :D

I just made a tiny frigate in a yellow-ish color scheme, fairly similar to sprites like the Parrot and Auroch. I've named it the Harbinger.

(http://ugstunt.com/harbinger.png)

One turret mount is all it has, but considering the size it could well be used in a mod as a really fast scout frigate. ;)

Do one-unit fighters even work at the moment? (Ideally they would, for a sort of corvette sized ship that can still be repaired by a carrier.)

I was thinking of putting it in my Positron mod like that (not knowing if it works or not), but decided against it as it was a bit too large for that and might have looked odd. Other people are welcome to try it out with this design though. ;)

here is a part sheet. I'll start saving them. (been making a new one with each ship)

Currently working on a more extensive worksheet based on this - no idea if it'll contain a LOT more parts, but it has some added mounts so far at least. Also, ships from the original worksheet that I didn't see posted anywhere yet:

(http://ugstunt.com/ship1.png)
(http://ugstunt.com/ship2.png)
(http://ugstunt.com/ship3.png)
(http://ugstunt.com/ship4.png)

These will be gone from my worksheet edit as I will only be adding ship parts, so yeah. They're all by Medikohl (I think), not me!

When there is content to be added or updated, you update the OP and then make a post describing the additions.  ;)

It is bad modding etiquette to bump your thread up for no reason, since you both push down other threads that have the same need for exposure and you force users to view posts with no new content on them.

Don't view this as gripping or protesting, just some feedback there. Cheers... :)

Make a ship (any class) with the construction rig as base.

You could write some code to check that yourself. As long as people keep the same name, but they probably won't.

Are there any image comparing programs out there on the web that are free? Even than there might be some that slip throe.

hyperion doesn't really lend it self to kitbashing easily, not with the specifics you have in mind anyway. (not enough room to fit it all on it's spidery frame)

This was a fun experiment in alternative methods of initial construction for me.  Sadly, I didn't get any real time savings out of this method, hehe.

Sorry for the double-post, it's been a minute.  

Here's a Glaug Cruiser.  Enjoy the obscure reference ;)

Found some new methods that helped me get this one done a little faster, and then went overboard on some of the final details; a few kitbashes based on this and we'd have a reasonable alien-ish fleet for people to use.  Working on a couple of other things that I hope to get done by the end of the weekend, if I can get the code I'm working on done :-)

Another design by a small person of my acquaintance; he was aiming for a bumble-bee, but the final result looks a lot like a manta-ray, so it's official, the name's the Glaug MantaBee.  Makes perfect sense, amirite?

Also the Glaug Flyter and Flea:

Title: Re: SPIRAL ARMS: Kittens Sacrificed, Sprites crafted, Relationship advice (it's you)
Post by: Thule on December 19, 2012, 04:39:53 PM
1. start with a resolution standard resolution 1024x512 (or any 2:1 ratio you like)
2. Make the resolution 1:1 (i increase the 512 to 1024, you should end up with a sqaure image)
3. use the filter (i know that gimp and PS have one) called Polarcoordinates. rectangular to sphere
4. Refine polar regions (make them seamless.)
5. use the filter again. shere to rectangular.
6. Turn image around 180°
7. repeat step 3 - 6 (both poles are done now)
8. Restore original image resolution
9. Profit

First off you have to make the texture, it's a mix of mutliple layers, blending modes, colour corrections, brightness adjustments, vibrance, levels, etc.

Then you make the texture seemless
In Photoshop it's a filter found under "Other ---> Offset"
For a resolution of 1024x512 the horizontal offset would be 512
Use the Clone stamp tool for example and make the transition between
the two borders seemless.

First off you have to make the texture, it's a mix of mutliple layers, blending modes, colour corrections, brightness adjustments, vibrance, levels, etc.
Well:
- mutliple layers - i know this as back of my pocket! YEAH!
- blending modes - Arrrr, plof... What?
- colour corrections - i, maybe, use this, sometimes, i guess
- brightness adjustments - i think i sow this somewhere in PS
- vibrance - What a???
- levels - ok here you just lost me. Im gone man i'm gone!  ;D

Well thanks for clarifying me that. I know now I ain't gonna make it  ;D

Here's a ship I've put together.
It's designed as a large, slow ship, almost like a mobile base.  8 small turret spots and 4 large turret spots. 
Sprite is free for anyone to use.

For kitbashing, if you want a particular piece of it I can probably get that uploaded as I did the whole thing in GIMP in layers.

in PS it would be a combination of adjustment layers: Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast.
Hue/Saturation layer with lowered saturation and a blue-red hue on the master level and some fiddling on the single blues and reds channels.

If that helps ^^

so color schemes over vanilla ships is just a matter of adding layers of various colors ?
what level of transparency does those layer should have ?

Post by: Thule on June 18, 2013, 10:29:26 AM
I would'nt say "just" but yeah ;)
It can easily be around 10 of those layers, if you want to have different colored areas on your ship. But for basic yes it wold be those two layers. The Transpareny depends on what you would like to achieve. There is a  short tutorial on that matter somewhere in the spiral arms thread.

It's not terribly hard to do that look, no.  Anyhow, if art shows up and I still have some free time (busy working on some code stuff atm) I'll be happy to do some color work.  Since I know who's offering, I know it'll be awesome :-)

Give it a camouflage.  :P
A sprinkling of greens and browns in various shades.

Otherwise, a little criticism is that the Onslaught is largely the same colour of white. Perhaps do the equivalent of stripping back a few layers of paint to show the discolouration of the armour plates underneath? Look to the central hull of the Onslaught, some of the armour is a tan/beige colour, some grey... perhaps reflect that in the white armour with similar discolourations? A paler beige and lighter gray?

The frozen planet looks awesome and the lava planet looks like it's textures were straight out of Total Annihilation.

And the first one, I'm sure someone can take that for their faction lore. That strange crop circle is maybe a huge technological alien ruin that the faction have reverse engineered to build their ships.

That circle is a lighted city, yeap. I wish I had an image file of just that. Looks much better than the weird dots I put on New Hiigara.

Edit: That program is fun but could be improved a lot. Right now, in order to change a planet by removing, for example, populated areas I am editing the presets.ini file while the program is open. For some reason adding your own preset does not work.

Also, clouds don't show up when exporting your world. Pity.

In short, you can't, unless you directly edit the presets file. Dunno why the creator didn't implement that. You'd have to ask him.

Here's the Acanthus:

I forgot that I hadn't released this here yet  ::)

Oh and here's a quickie kitbash I did with it and the Macuahuitl, an ugly, lashed-together freighter-meets-petroleum-refinery that I've decided should be named the Glasgow.

Nope; I built a TC (http://=http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=4292.0) instead :)  Anyhow, most of the coolness of the ship was Mendonica / David's doing, I just did some little things.

Well, that's unlikely, I find working on a TC mod is a lot more interesting, personally :)  It's why I just post the sprites here when I'm done editing them, so that others can do so if they wish :)

As i have not the spirit and time at the moment i thought why not share my work with you guys, instead of heaving those sprites rot on my harddrive.

Feel free to use those sprites in every way you like to.

The ships where originally planned to be part of a faction called "3 Colors Coalition"
They are knwon as Yellowjackets and are dedicated miners.

Those are so badass.  It'd be pretty hard to kitbash them into an entire Faction, but I may have a go at it, since I've pretty much finished out the PJs and the green guys are next, when I have enough time :)

I posted some wip stages of the kitbash process in the spriters judgement thread, maybe its useful for further kitbashing.
I have the scource material as psd files on my hd, i could send them to you if you use Photoshop

I do use PS.  That would probably be helpful, especially in terms of making some mid-grade ships with the big one as a starting-place, depending on how much is still in the layers :)

Have at it modders. Tis a high quality sprite here.
EDIT* Modifying complete. I do like the changes quite a bit.

(Sorry xenoargh, I couldn't quite get Aztec glyphs to work too well. Besides, the name was tacked on as an afterthought.)

So this is my fleet so far and now as I see those ships together I think they will never be finished or playable since their style is too different from each other to make up a faction of themselves.
I consider them to be practice and I will start this whole bioship idea from scratch since I'm not happy with those ships in retrospective.

Feel free to use them if you wish.

Just putting my unused sprites (some might need some cleaning), free to use, naturally.

 How often do sprites in this thread find their way into mods?
 Cause those cristall ships have too much swag to lie around and gather dust.

the silicoids would be great!! do it!
or these white ships.
I could help building your faction.

maybe the crystal faction uses mainly beams and hidden turrets. just a thought.


If someone wants to create something out of my frigate here, you are welcome, I won't be using this ship anymore as the style doesn't fit in my concept.

The Bounty hunt mod is from Talkie Toaster, originally i wanted to integrate those ships to his mod but he don't really have time to work on it. I don't know if he plan on working again on it in the future, maybe when Starsector will be more fleshed out?

Anyway i thought those sprites would be better available to everyone than sleeping in my hard drive.

Got bored and did the basics; they will still need tasteful turret positions and all that jazz.  I left out the giant globe thingy because the one render of it was too ugly to bother fixing up.  Scales are all more-or-less SS scales, with adjustments here and there where I thought it was appropriate, etc.

This is not the thread for requests :) 

That said, you got lucky, I once did a bunch of FL modding, so I'll explain what you'd need to do. 

About the only way you could do it and have it look halfway decent would be to export all the CMPs via the Milkshape3D exporter tool, convert the DDS textures into something more suitable, then render it in your choice of software.  It's something that would take ages to do even if you're very good, to be frank.

Even doing it the crappier-but-faster way (viewing the meshes in HardCMP and taking screenshots) would take a long time and the results wouldn't be terribly good, because you wouldn't have shadows and all that.

Taking someone work isn't taboo, it's illegal! (unless specifically told otherwise, and even then it depends of the author's country laws). Besides, very few of the sprites here ever get used, so the risk isn't worth it.

It isn't... common practice to undertake illegal activities just because no-one cares. If you can't obtain permission from the creator to use their work for whatever reason, you assume you may not use it. Simple as that, at least as far as I'm concerned. The fact remains that the sprite is an original work, and although the creator may be perfectly alright with its reuse, you simply cannot know for sure. And to be frank, if it turns out he really doesn't want you to use it and a massive stink come about as a result, that'd just be awkward for everybody.

On that note, I'm digging up this sprite from the previous page for use in my mod;

Although unlikely, it -can- lead to legal issues. Plus it just isn’t very nice to use other people’s work without requesting permission first. Even if your intentions are honourable (which they obviously are!). I suggest you email StickyNavels. His email address is listed publicly on his profile (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=898).

This also isn't a discussion thread. I have informed Sabaton of the proper course of action (i.e. emailing the sprite's creator).  Though I appreciate and understand what you're trying to do.

I'll be sure to contact the original thread's author and request that we change the title to inform everyone that this is a sprite dump, not a request or discussion thread.

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay, because you're here forever.

The ships look really good so far, although I cant help but feel that some more shading is required.
Anyways, really good so far. Do you have any plans to make a faction out of these ships, or are you just making them for the heck of it?

Hello, i just post here my sprites that I will not use and can be used to someone. ( I had not managed to make a faction and if I get back , I'll start a new faction to zero, or just a vessel the time to learn to integrate stuff in the game, but it does is not the subject here ;)) . So do not hesitate to use them if you like. ( As such, change or as you wish. ) Hope this can be helpful in any way. Fly safe !

I was thinking of making a new mod (maybe a bit stupid considering the Crystanite are in developement, but whatevs), and i think i will be using most of those sprites. Great pieces of art, i suppose they are 3d renders from homeworld or something?

I will, of course, give you full credit for the sprites, no question about it.

Hey Helmut, I need to go ahead and give the Kintsugi ships that I'm using names and IDs that aren't placeholders. I looked up the background of the word Kintsugi, and immediately made the connection to your aesthetic, pretty clever. ;) So, did you have any ideas of names for the ships or should I attempt to just go with something appropriate in theme?

I'm using the following models.

Spoiler

Also, while they're pretty much 'made' in the above roles, I'd be perfectly willing to take any design concepts in mind from you. They're not set up as a faction/star-system, as I'm always playing catch-up with the updates (and losing), so I've resolved to just make the ships I like, balance them, keep them updated and make missions arcs involving the various factions.

It's also using some of your pirate stuff, and Psiyon's two contribution threads. (I still feel my art isn't up to par and is therefore on the back-burner.)

Edit; As an afterthought, I haven't put the Carrier directly next to the other Kintsugi ships, and it's not quite there in terms of their aesthetic. I can replace the weapon slots myself, but my attempts to recreate your gold filigree aren't quite matching up, and I'd like to match it exactly; what was your process on that?
Title: Re: SPIRAL ARMS: Sprite Dump, Free to use, No Sprite requests, Free Puppies
Post by: HELMUT on February 18, 2015, 12:35:29 PM
Eh, that's funny to see your interpretations of my ships. For example, in my mind your cargo was supposed to be an AWACS. The sensor frigate on the other was pretty much a mobile large energy mount.

For the names, i originally wanted some weird names made of numbers, like with some cars brand (I-100, IC-300, etc...) but only for the frigates. The bigger ships would have generic Japanese names instead, as i imagined them as a whole different brand of ships compared to the frigates. That's why the carrier is quite different from the others, i wanted to get a late core-era style similar to the Apogee or the Odyssey. Experimental, high-tech frigates with bigger, semi-civilian support ships.

Alas, could never get it right, that's why it is unfinished, and alone. The "drone tender" was just a spriting experiment, never satisfied me either.

For the gold lines, there's no clear trick to get them. Lot of layers and filter stacking on photoshop, then some fiddling with opacity... Sorry if i can't be more clear, my photoshop files tends to be bloated with a lot of random, undecipherable stuffs (MesoTroniK can probably attest).

Anyway, i hope you'll manage to get something out of them. Maybe if you can  get out a workable version of Kintsugi, it'll give me a good excuse to try to finish their goddamn sprites.
Title: Re: SPIRAL ARMS: Sprite Dump, Free to use, No Sprite requests, Free Puppies
Post by: WKOB on February 19, 2015, 12:33:31 AM
Yeah, I figured they wouldn't be spot on, role wise, as it's easy to interpret things very differently with only one image to reference, although I figured the cargo ship had a slightly different intention, I did want this faction to have its own support network.

However, I can definitely see ways to work both of your concepts in on top of mine, besides the more options a support vessel gives, the more likely it will be deployed instead of just sitting out every battle.

I'll think about your naming scheme as well and come up with something for each of those, and yeah, if you ever want to take the ships back or collaborate with me, just let me know. They're yours after all, I'm just giving them a little life.

As for them not being quite done, like the drone tender, they look fine and complete to me. I think it's just easier to be less critical of others people's work, which is why I can't get happy with my stuff, either. :D

On my side, i'm okay. However you'll have to send a pm to Cycerin to ask for his permission to use it, as it is originally a Blackrock sprite.

But yeah... I think i'll have to rework my post, to see whether which sprite is freely available or not. This is such a headache to deal with...

I was fine with you kitbashing the sprites I gave permission for, and using them in your little bounty mod. But I'm not ok with them just being up for grabs now. To make it easier: Just add a short comment under the 2 Project Batavia, 3 Antediluvian, and the Zorg Cube that permission has to be asked first. Ignore that, I see you've already updated your post to reflect the need to ask permissions first for some ships.  :) Just don't want my work surfacing somewhere without me knowing, you'll understand. :)

I just want to check on these since there's been a little controversy lately. Is there any conflict with my usage of these, such as them already being used in a mod (I don't know what's in Starsector+ for example) or pieces of them being from other artists?

I actually will be releasing my mission pack soon so I'm checking in now so I can remove/replace any conflicts.

Plus the Kintsugi stuff you're already aware of, and Psiyon's two threads.

I may eventually bring them into the campaign, I just don't have the time to put together a balanced four faction system and keep it updated, so I've decided that I should quit trying.

It's also probably influenced by the fact that I enjoy playing missions and simulator battles more than the campaign. :D

But yeah... I think i'll have to rework my post, to see whether which sprite is freely available or not. This is such a headache to deal with...

Remove the antimatter lance and you're good to go.

Hmph. >-<

Fine.

Oh, that is cool. I really like the style, coloration and shape.

It's a shame no one is doing anything with all the sprites you've put here, your style is so striking.

It makes me want to do it but I've been having trouble finding finishing up what I'm already working on, argh.

Hah, yeah... time.  Most of the old stuff I've put up here ended up in Vacuum, eventually; my problem was that I couldn't get all of Thule / HELMUT's stuff I wanted in, too, lol- too much Awesome, not enough time :)  But really this is just my way of giving back to this great community and relaxing with something creative; I get closer to Zen when I'm doing pixel art stages :)

Deep from within the Shroud Nebula, drifting hulks await the lucky (and the dead, as their automatic defenses are frequently active).  

These ships have designs that are so different from those that typified the late Domain that more questions than answers remain: were they developed by rogue corporations, built for a civil war and then abandoned after the fall of the Gates, or built by human separatists on the fringe of Domain space and left there, dormant, for reasons unknown?

What is known is that there are many such vessels drifting through the Shroud, and some of them bear internal designs that suggest strongly that they weren't built for True Humans.  Perhaps the mysterious creators were Aliens, but it's more likely that they were built for some gene-modified sub-sect of Humanity and abandoned at the same time that the others were.  

However, some of them show extensive battle damage or have been rendered to radioactive husks, which raises even more questions about why they are there and what, if anything, they mean for the future of the Sector.  For now, they represent a treasure trove for the lucky, the inquisitive and foolhardy.

A band of misfits, rogues and psychopathic AIs was recently lucky enough to re-activate two of these monsters and tow them back into Tri-Tachyon space, after a lengthy skirmish with Cult of Ludd activists.  Both ships are nearly pristine and will be able to leave drydock within months.  No marques were recovered from the ships' wetware cores, however, and the logs are completely blank.

Sounds like EI's idea is becoming more and more popular every time I said "Psychopathic AI's". Coincidentally, the ships fit the color scheme she wanted. So, we'll be taking those, if you don't mind. ;)

The Magpie, an in-system shuttle, designed to carry a small payload to the surface- say, a small squad of Marines.  The design idea is that, when it's in deep space, it carries the weapons loads externally on a rack that can be jettisoned and left in orbit when it enters an atmosphere, allowing it to enter passively, rather than engaging any grav-engines.  Inspired by this. (http://www.deviantart.com/art/spaccceee-179459890)

(http://www.wolfegames.com/TA_Section/independent_magpie.png)

This is the Thor; a design recently recovered by an Independent scout traveling along the edge of the Rimward Gulf.  It's a classical battleship from the early Expansion epoch that was upgraded and kept in service for millennia by the Domain. 

Fluff:
Spoiler
The Thor is named for its System; the Thor Grav-Pulse System briefly pushes the ship into full Burn while diverting all power away from the weapons and into a special shielding system, "shivering" the ship forwards very rapidly and rendering it temporarily immune to damage.  The Thor's high mass and velocity does the rest.  The System can be devastating if used correctly in a ramming attack.

While it was hardly at the cutting edge of design at the time of the Fall, its reliability and sheer toughness made it a favorite well into that period, and at least a few hundred were still in service, according to the records recovered with the Blueprint. 

The Thor boasts a very thin profile, which, along with it its powerful frontal weaponry, including two built-in cannons, makes it exceedingly powerful when meeting an opponent head-on.  It is capable of excellent acceleration and speed for a ship of the line, coupled with an armor belt that rivals the heavier ships of the earlier eras.  It also has a modern fire-control system and weapons layout, allowing its four main turrets to bear on most threats and present a remarkable weight of broadside firepower.

However, it turns rather poorly, has relatively low Flux capacity and Vents, and generally must make the most of its low-tech Ballistic firepower and armor during short firefights, rather than slugging it out for long periods.  It is also hindered by a relative dearth of anti-missile / anti-fighter slots as well, and is heavily dependent on escorts to give it protection from flank assaults with torpedoes and bombs, as its shield coverage, while very efficient, doesn't cover much of the ship.

It's also fairly expensive to maintain vs. more modern designs, and can be a burden on an Admiral who is not able to bear the financial costs of archeo-tech.

This ship is quite likely to show its flag as a commerce raider and capital ship in the service of Independent mercenaries of means, as well as serving as a high-level escort; while the ship has some flaws, it pairs well with the capabilities of the Conquest and offers captains a variety of swift, lethal options.

The Saturn, old rusty weapon barge. I imagine this thing billowing smoke out of the side cut outs, and the engines, and pretty much everywhere else while it's crew slave away in a hot loud miserable hell

That thing looks like it have been bashed with some Doom's textures. I like it, i will probably borrow some parts of this one in the future.

Also, are you still working on your grey/green retro looking ships? They were pretty weird and cool.

I'm not really working on that faction anymore. Honestly, I'm not a programmer, and I was having too many difficulties implementing my faction into the campaign (Which is a shame, I had some different ideas). If anyone is interested, I'll post some of the more polished ones up for use.

EDIT :
Here is the list of ships from the faction I was working on. If anyone wants any, I'll just post the PNGs (I'm not sure if this board will smush my image down)

As far as i am concerned, i won't be able to help you with the coding. However, there's definitely some parts i would use for kitbashing. I'm always happy for more pngs to play with if you post them.

Welcome to the sprite junkyard!


Just putting my unused sprites (some might need some cleaning), free to use, naturally. Though bear in mind that some of those sprites are re-skinned ships from other mods, if you want to use those, be sure to ask the permission of the original author. This post is regularly updated with new sprites.

Putting some old kitbashes I did here if anyone wanted to use them, all they need is some colour and likely some touch ups here and there. I made them for a faction mod ages ago but never continued with it and am working on other things now anyway.

Dumping this old ship here:

Along with Codex description:
Spoiler
An advanced, combat-dedicated small drone carrier with distinctive aesthetic design.

The Beetle-class is a frigate-sized carrier, loaded with fully automated drones instead of manned fighters, with onboard mini-fac capable of replacing losses during a combat.

Seeing ever-rising fatality rate of experienced pilot as an opportunity, and also recieving several feedback of Tempest-class frigate, the Tri-Tachyon Corporation developed a new design - the combat drone carrier. The Beetle-class is one of the drone carrier lines of the Tri-Tachyon before Collapse.

The Scarab drone, featuring gamma-level combat AI, is designed to be a fighter. Without a human pilot inside makes cockpit and life support unnecessary, contributing to size reduction. The chassis can be 'folded' to reduce its space occupancy even more. As a result, up to 5 can be stored within the mothership's small drone deck, allowing fast replacement if one is destroyed.
Even more impressive feature is its on-board mini-factory. It is capable of replacing drones during combat at steady rate, given enough material to do so.

I know I have to ask permission to use that last one but I am unsure who that would be.

I saw the nearly destroyed ships awhile ago and this last update made me think that even worse vessels then degraded ships might be used by those who are very desperate. I mean even a derelict Onslaught is more then a match for most frigates or destroyers. The white themed frigates I am not sure what I going to do with yet I know I will think of something fun. Thanks.

As far as I know, the white yellow ships are being used by someone.

The 2nd last one is already in use. It's the Leviathan IBB ship from Ships and Weapons mod.

The last big one is from Project Valkyrie made by Valkyrian. However, the rights to manage and update the mod have been given to the Originem crew. I'd advise against using it for the tedious task of having to ask multiple people and the size of the sprite which the AI tend to handle poorly with.

Other than that, all the Vanilla ones should be fine albeit weird.

Come onto the Stasector Fan Chat Discord if you want a quick response. HELMUT is there.

I didn't think those specific ships were in use compared to the handful that were claimed in the thread here but the white ships are no loss really.

I can't seem to find this Leviathan you are taking about, have a link?

As for the demolished Valkyrian I was going to pull it apart myself and use pieces of it for something different.

Here's the link to the Ships & Weapons Pack mod made by DR. http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=11018.0

If you scroll downwards to the banner saying "Boss Bounties", you can see the outline of the Leviathan in the right side of the banner.

Alternatively, you can download the mod and peek into the mod's graphics folder.

Asides from the last two, you can use all the other sprites (i did some cleaning in my post). As for the Valkyrian hulk, i guess kitbashing it is okay as long as you're just borrowing the scrap metal parts, same thing for the double-atlas.
Title: Re: SPIRAL ARMS: Sprite Dump, Free to use, No Sprite requests, Free Puppies
Post by: Tacheyon on May 20, 2017, 07:48:11 PM
Well the Double Atlas was going to be used as is so that is out. Any suggestions for a similar replacement?

And yeah my plan is to use the scrap metal parts as station modules. I could shred the other vanilla scrap metal ones but being able to just use all the parts from one image will keep consistency and save time too.

Most posters will have a note saying whether stuff is free for public/private use or not, or whether you have to contact them or another party for permission first.

But when in doubt, even though the thread itself claims stuff is "free to use", assume you always need permission. It's safe and considerate.  ;)

I disagree with Meso here.

While contacting the original author is usually the best way to avoid issues, the sprites in this thread are free to use unless stated otherwise (like the second part of my own sprite dump). As far as i'm concerned, people don't need to ask my permission to use my free stuff, even though asking first is still safer, just in case.

Title: Re: SPIRAL ARMS: Sprite Dump, Free to use, No Sprite requests, Free Puppies

The quick answer is, "just about every graphics / 3D package on Earth".  People have used everything from 3D Studio to Krita to good ol MS Paint.

Post by: AxleMC131 on August 14, 2017, 10:50:48 PM
Personally I started with Paint.net (which is not bad for a beginner and don't let anyone tell you otherwise), and then moved to Krita when I started getting more in-depth with my 'bashes. I tried Gimp first, but it was far less user-friendly in my opinion, and Krita worked much better for me.

Incidentally, both Gimp and Krita are completely free to use.

If you are not, then you are doing it wrong as those are the ONLY relevant programs for doing raster art.


And don't give me that but but Paint Tool SAI line, Krita also has a wonderful brush stabilizer (not that it matters for spriting), and the Lazy Nezumi program adds an even better brush stabilizer to ANY raster art program. Oh, and Paint.net is awful, the idea of using an "easy" program to learn on is a fallacy. Use a good one from the start, takes less time...

Only Paint Tool SAI is not magnificent. Any of the three programs I listed will beat it at its own game + more. Krita out the box, Photoshop and Gimp with Lazy Nezumi added on.

SAI is the barest of bare bones, it doesn't even have a freaking transparency grid! It displays transparency as a solid white fill, it lacks tons of basic quality of life features and image editing tools. It is an extremely basic painter program for doing manga style art and nothing else. Anyways, I am not saying you cannot do good art on a bad program. Because you certainly can! The point is, it makes life much, much, much harder.

Only Paint Tool SAI is not magnificent. Any of the three programs I listed will beat it at its own game + more. Krita out the box, Photoshop and Gimp with Lazy Nezumi added on.

Transparency grid? Really it is so important? Why I didn't even pay attention to this nonsense?

Photoshop has advantage only in what allows to work with 3D and also very perfectly textures and brushes. But he has disgusting support of the graphic tablet. It is much more pleasant to work in SAI.
Lazy Nezumi in SAI there is an analog. Simply VERY big smoothing of movements. But even I don't use it.

And most important "+"! SAI weighs only couple of megabytes and she well uses any ***! Even on my poor computer.

The transparency grid is actually kind of a big deal.

And for crying out loud, SAI does not even have levels and curves lighting adjustment tools! Might as well be scribbling on a piece of paper with crayons since without heavy manual editing you are pretty much stuck with what you painted. Perhaps you should pay attention to this "nonsense" Drakon.

It can be hard to see, and not much easier to fix that problem without the transparency grid and some advanced features in more powerful raster art programs.

I used the Threshold Alpha tool with a setting of 254 to turn all pixels that are not totally solid, totally transparent to make it very obvious. But even without using that tool to visualize it, many of those partially transparent areas on your ships I can see with my mk1 eyeball because... Transparency grid. Anyways, just trying to help other artists, present and future and I hope it does prove useful info to you Drakon and others :)

It consequences of use of the "Blur" tool. I up to this point didn't know that he can break the picture here and so. It is noticeable however and without special function. The truth it is really difficult to notice it.

You'd be better off posting in the new version of this thread, the Spiral Arms II (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=12896.0). The second one was created so it could be more easily organized, the first few posts are a storage format for sprites that have been submitted, which this original thread lacks.
