So I'm new, and I'm building something...
« on: April 06, 2012, 12:00:16 PM »

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 :)

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.

Forbidden. That’s all we know.

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.

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
