Ship looks awesome from different angles.  :D

Somewhat tempted to use Trylobot's ship editor and play with that changeling fighter. Hrm, looking a bit closer, is it me, or are there no visible exhaust ports on those changeling ships?

Thx. I have no idea what the trylobot is, but feel free to use it on the ships. It sounds technical though, so it's probably sth cool. I didn't put ant exhaust ports on the ships - I forgot :P They could be underneath though   ;)

Trylobot is one of the dudes out there on these forums. He made a program which makes editing and defining a ship's characteristics much easier. Only thing is, I have no experience of modding anything on Starfarer, aside from dragging and dropping modpacks into my mod folder.  ;D
Exhausts could be under the ship, but, I don't think there is any way to hide exhausts under the sprite to make it look like the engine is under the ship. And from what's been said earlier in this thread, having no exhausts whatsoever causes strange things to happen.


Could add to the alien-ness of the Changeling vessels by simply having the exhausts spew forth from a point behind the ships.

Kalthaniell, you are a ship-making master. Although, of course, there may be a few possible improvement tweaks, overall you got the Changeling style spot-on, imho. I know I couldn't do better.  ;D There really needs to be an applause emote.  :D

OMG those look so damn cool!

Not having a visible exhaust port isn't a problem, we can probably have the flame shoot out of nothing a few pixels behind the vessel, don't know if it will look good but it would be a different approach then the other ships so that would make them more unique in a way. (what yoshi said)

I'll see to it that all art gets onto the opening post.

At this point, I really like the direction the ships are taking. They are sleek and shiny (SHINY!!).

Even if the ship quality decreases drastically, no one would be able to see it due to the awesome BLOOM!!!!

Not sure what you mean by the bloom, but I agree the changling ship needed some re-texturing. I had some spare time today so I played with it a bit. I think it looks better now. Here's a link to a small picture: Small pic

Both versions look very nice, I'm sure we'll find a good use for both.

I don't see why you want to make a mod based off of being a fan of another product.  Why is this rooted in a show that isn't even remotely related to Starfarer as the basis for the mod?  This perplexes me.  I can understand most of the mods here, but it would be just as strange if a pokemon, digimon, or any other mod not related to the space sci-fi setting was made as the basis for the mod.


On a side note I wonder if sins of a solar empire would work as a basis for a mod in starfarer.

Yes, yes it would. It would work very greatly. :D
