Hey guys! this is my first thread topic, thing, but i've already been around a while and posted in other threads, buts that besides the point - i'm building something, and that something is a ship, if you hadn't already guessed.
Im not creating any new sprites myself here, just taking the bits and bobs i want from the ships that are already in the game.
I'm just making this thing as i go, so i don't really know whats its gonna look like (its doesn't even have a name yet! so any suggestions would be nice :3) but so far its looking like some sort of cruiser.

I've got the engines sorted etc, but any feedback would be awesome! especially when it comes to names :)
-
Looking good! Seems like an armed tug or exploration ship to me...
-
Cheers :)
Its got some more engines now - below the large missile hardpoints
-
Something is wrong with the first post, because I don't see any ship image of any kind in it. Unless you two are viewing it telepathically. Um, help?

This is what google says when I try to open that picture in a new tab:
403. That’s an error.

OH! i think i know what to do then ;) thanks for telling me that.
Can you see it now?

Okay :) i'll have a looksee

For posting ship sprites, I find it's better just to dropbox to be honest. For ingame screens, imgur is perfect for that. But it still has that 255 image limit before it hides links to the images in your album IIRC. Though like I said, for screenshots and the like, Imgur cannot be faulted for that
-
Me thinkie the sprite is "nearly" done... I'm probably going to add two medium engery turrets and a large ballistic hardpoint.
So in total there's three small energy, one small missile, two large/medium missile, two medium energy and a large ballistic.
-
Still no pix in the first post. I am a sad panda. :'(
-
No worries!
I have finished the ship!! Hurrah!

Now, It needs a suitable name, and class. :D this can be a lil' competition ;)
Although it does look like an extremely heavy sunder class
-
Can't see the ship :-\
Sad panda
-
Not seeing it either, giving the same error. :<
-
i cant see the ship either all i can see is a broken.jpg image.
-
Broken for me as well, and it looks like it originated from some Google service. Are you using Picasa?
If so, simply remove the 's' from https direct link and it should work.
-
I've put the images on Imgur now... so they should work :P
Now I need a name for the class of the ship...
Suggestions are more than welcome, because i generally suck at names!
And if anyone can think of a particularly awesome class, i'll let that person pick the name of the first ship :)
-
ah the images! they work now! other than that its a good looking ship i can definitely see the different pieces you used, especially the nose of the sunder.
-
No suggestions?
:(
*sniff*
-
Ambrosia
Winner every time :o
I'm having sorta same problem making up names for... Things.
Usually end up hitting keyboard and picking something that seems more-or-less ok... :P
-
Skinny, because by the look of it all it would take was one good shot to slice that ship in half.
-
Why not make an Setup Game Screen before you start your campaign, where you can set the difficulty for yourself like in Master of Orion 2 or Anno2070.
This way the more advanced players get their challenge and the newbies and older players like me, can have fun too.

what does this have to do with his ship? this sounds like it belongs in a suggestion topic on how to handle the game difficulty...
-
Victoria Class?
Drake Class?
And of course there's always Sunder Mk.II
-
-snip-
And of course there's always Sunder Mk.II
i vote for Sunder II or MK. II
possibly a cruiser? i suppose? how big is the actual craft compared to other ships?
weapon mounts should also be considered it has a sunder nose so it must have a large energy slot i imagine.
-
I like it; make more!
-
Well. Sunder is the act of separating something through massive beam... so how about Rift? The state of being after being sundered by massive beam.
-
Vote for Sunder
Also:
Reaper (I just don't know where that idea came from, something i played recently maybe?)
Ruinator
Oppressor
Shadow
Ooh, I know: War Hawk! Or Hawk.
-
Panda-class, or maybe something based on Norse mythology.
Everything is better with Norse mythology.
-
Just like the Mjolnir Cannon!
