Version 0.5 released, main post updated with link. Includes the Yehat.

Also, there's currently a four-way tie two-way tie for the next ship between the Vux, Spathi, Syreen and Mmrnmhrm. Hurry up and vote so I can do one  :P

The Mmrnmhrm is the current leader with 5 votes. It'll be next.

Just noticed it, you're making these in BSF ShipMaker, aren't you?

EDIT: Or using similar sprites.

I'm using only Paint.NET and the art of Starfarer. What's BSF?

You seem to have forgot my favorite ship, the Thraddash Torch.

Hmm. I would guess that was left out because it's special system is the key feature of the ship and there's no apparent way to replicate it in Starfarer.

But! Thinking about it, it should actually be doable. The "torch" aspect of it could be replicated with what's essentially a backwards-firing, short-range flak cannon with long-duration explosions.

I added it to the poll. It would be another partial ship, as I could do the primary, but the secondary would be the weapon bit only - no speed boost for firing the flame-trail thing. There's a couple ships on there like that at the moment, but it won't stop me from doing sprites in advance for them  ;D

Sorry for the slowdown, but I'm in the middle of a move to Austin. Got the job secured and whatnot, and just organizing the rest of it. Making calls, setting things up, etc.

Promise the X-Form will be available soonish, though it will be one of the stranger ships in this mod. Since a ship can't "change" mid battle of course, it will be two separate ships. Should still be interesting to play with though.

Good luck with the move.

Looking forward to seeing the X-Form! One of my favorite ships from the original, though it took a godawful long time to kill anything with those missiles... but a sure win if you're patient enough :)

Update, Sept. 24th - added sprite art for the unreleased Mmmrnmhrm ships; established the next three ships based on the current poll data and removed them from the poll (thanks for the votes, guys!).

I'm really looking forward to this next batch of ships, this mod is finally starting to come together!

Oh, very cool!


... this is going to get extra-interesting when custom battles are in. Star Control ships vs <whatever>. Well, interesting and a bit weird :)

I can't seem to get the mod to work. I've copied the most recent version (5 minutes ago) into the mod folder in the package contents (using a mac), but when I load up the launcher it claims I have no mods installed. Suggestions?

There's a bug in the mac build - you have to put the mod folder one level higher, on the same level as the mods/ folder.

Although its stupid of me, its not simply drag and drop, or copy and paste, and unfortunately thats were my ability ends. I don't know how to copy a folder to an applications contents to the level of the contents themselves, and application support has abandon me again.
