Find out if Kalathaniel can knock out some more designs? If nothing else, it's gonna hurt my OCD seeing 3d modelled ships mixed in with pixel sprites.

Kalathaniel is enjoying the summer weather at the moment, we'll have to patient. Don't worry, he wants to do more ships.

We can always split up the different style ships into different mods.

I don't mind them being in the mod, all inclusive. Just hopefully not as the only option. I like my ships having a theme and style, which is why I like mods like DSTech, or the Ascendancy mod. Factions with a solid theme and look to their ships, unlike the Hegemony, which seem almost ramshackle in comparison to the Tri-Tach.

[Vandala]

We can separate them into ships only used for missions and ships used in the campaign.

I've bin entertaining the thought of making special missions that are basically character vs character in the vein of the cartoon. For example Celestia vs Nightmare Moon, Mane 6 vs Discord, Twilight vs Ursa Minor, etc. Making the conflicts of the cartoon series into playable battles with the characters represented as ships unique to their characteristics. This would allow for interesting fights where we can give them weapon layouts and stats that don't have to be in line with other ships in the mod that are used for the campaign.

Kalathaniel ships would be excellent for this approach.

Could work like that. Personally, I'm biased towards having all the ships available in the campaign. But that's just me.

We can do that but it would probably look weird.

But we could just put them on the outer edge of the system where they don't interact with others, or put just them in the storage facility as an option for the player.

Actual my ships were also 3d modeled too( thanks to blender). I know they are far from good but I just threw something together to see what people thought; I am happy that people like it so far , so I will do my best to up the quality and I will put do the retexture solar fighter very soon an I have another one to replace the lunarFrigate. But ultimately I think getting Kalathaniel to do the majority of the art is a good idea, being that he is far better than me and will turn out some very good art

[Vandala]

Far from good?!

Don't sell yourself short!

They look pretty damn good!! (except for the frigate)

With some more experience you'll be making little wonders that everyone will drool over.

and thanks for that.

and here is the updated fighter I have another on i am working on now.

...Twilight vs Ursa Minor...

Can we have a Trixie ship? Preferably, if in Campaign, in its own faction? Sole purpose should be to just annoy fleets and then try to retreat, never really serious about attacking. >:3 Also, if we get a Trixie ship, I will e-mail a picture of it to Sethisto.  

(P.S. Yeah... I know we're limited on A.I. control... I have no clue what I'm talking about...)

Maybe we can work with the captain AI to get it to behave like old Hounds, and then give it really long range weapons.

Hmm, I think my suggestion did more damage then good.

It still has that weird stripe/gray area in the middle, both versions have it, it doesn't look perfectly symmetrical to me, its a little to far to the left I think.

You probably have a better view of it then I do but it feels wrong somehow.

[SonicRaptor]

here is the ship i was working on more recently.



tell me witch one you think looks better.

[Vandala]

Hard to say.

I think without the lines looks better. I'm not sure though.

Perhaps you can use the subtle lines of the first frigate you posted.

(I really liked the lines of the frigate you posted earlier. Those looked fantastic.)

[SonicRaptor]

something like this?

[Vandala]

Yes, thats looking good.

Can you add your other lines on top of this? I wonder how that will look.
