You don't need to ask permission. The whole point in Spiral arms is that the sprites are unused or abandoned and can be used by anyone.

Yes, as BigBeans said this is topic for unused/abandoned stuff, and if someone releases something here its means what its author already given permission to use, its more like Sprite Dump, where people toss sprites which they won't use but its just sad just to delete them. And speaking of Drakon_ST, he told in Russian Discord what he simply lost interest in SS, mostly because he as old player didn't liked how game development went from 06 versions to 095, (I'm new player, but I heard what many old players who played SS from 06 versions, often complain about broken game balance in new versions, especially Russian ones), you won't get his permission just by waiting here, only if you try contacting him directly.

I kinda used his sprites too in personal mod, mostly Low Tech and High Tech stuff, which I didn't uploaded yet. (I'm not sure if I will).

The problem is, his sprites (DrakonST) and some of HELMUT's specifically needs approval to be used, it even says in the beginning of the post. also been told from other well know mod makers that i need to get permission to use his stuff. I appreciate the replies but id rather not just use them and then have to remove them if he doesnt end up wanting to give me permission.

hello its me charmingthree, I forgor my password and email after like almost a year. anyway here's what's basically a conquest redesign I made a while back that I remember being really proud of but didn't feel like going through the effort of turning into an actual ship in the game, so hopefully someone else can give it a home in the sector :)

Some very old sprites I made for myself. I actually finished with custom weapons and working ship files but they are probably horribly outdated by now so Im posting only the images in case someone likes the low effort sprites for anything.

I got personally increasingly bothered that there was only the lowtech Ox for a tug option, so I went looking for sprites and found this thread, Spent about an hour or two in photoshop to create something that could pass as a hightech range tug. if anyone wants to use it. Feel free, I sourced everything from this thread and the vanilla sprites, its a first go, so its probably pretty rough, unfortunately I had a Photoshop crash and lost the PSD file, so this is the one and only attempt for this particular sprite.

Chaperone Class Tug maybe? IDK.

Just figured I'd dump these unused sprites here. Credit appreciated but not required.

I'm taking this fellow, thanks; and I'm gonna rework it and publish it in DE(assuming that's allowed, but I suppose it technically is since this is spiral arms)

I'm just gonna post these, since they've been lingering about for too long.
With Blue and Red already in functioning order to get updates, I don't think I could do more with them.






Give them a home, tidy them up and you get yourself a new faction.

Can I use these? (I know they are used on HIVER reskin and normal) however, they would be interesting to kitbash and I could reuse them into a mod am making!
(Also sorry for reposting the topic!)

Learning to use AI art tools. OFC, like every other art tech I've messed with, I just end up making a bunch of SS sprites, to see if I can get up to speed, lol.

I think that now that I know how to feed these things, I can make a fairly finished sprite with a fair amount of control over the design (that's the tricky part, imo; the AI is really prone to GIGO and good prompt data is essential) really fast (see last image).

AI Image Source Note: these images were all made with img2img prompts and the February build of MidJourney on Night Cafe, using the default model. Text prompts were probably something like, "spaceship, panel lines, greebles, small lights"




No, this doesn't mean a front-page update is imminent, unfortunately. I'll probably get to that next month, when I'm a bit less buried.
