Modding Help
« on: April 07, 2012, 11:42:55 AM »

So say someone had a great idea for a mod, but had no ability with coding or spriting, but that some one had sketched some ship ideas (well a bunch) and was willing to give them to someone to sprite and someone else to code, than the origional person would write up descriptions for all this stuff and create the lore etc. Would people be willing to help out or should I just give up and cry in a corner because the internet is mean?

Here are the fighter pictures and one frigate, http://imgur.com/FPJLz
I have five more pages of ships drawn, if you have questions feel free to ask

I guess the point of this mod will be to create a faction and insert them into the game, but I would not mind if this idea was absorbed as long as I got to participate (and of course got credit for my brilliant work).

Lore (so far)

In the corvus system there is a dire problem, pirates of all shapes and sizes are not only attacking mining vessels, but are begining to mine themselves! So as to prevent their destruction both economicly and life wise, the mining guild modified a portion of it's fleet and fought back against the pirates. The Guild drew from old and new times, the old times ships had better armorand usually more ballistics while the new timers had better flux, shields, and engines.

Well...depends.  Large or small ships?  I'm really good at fighters and frigates, but my detail lags with larger things.  Need me?

Spriting is really not difficult. Give it a try, all you need is paint. Look on youtube lots of tutorials.

Ok, posted the drawings and also added some lore (the latter is not much but a basis).
