Glad to see Erick Doe is still doing crap tons of mods! Also that he is a mod, that's neat too.

So I made these guys a long time ago, funnily enough for one of Erick Doe's projects, and I was told they were actually neat.

I've cleaned them up a bit and attempted to make them more interesting but I'm curious, what do you guys think they need to fit into the game? They're basically going to be a Corporation's line of experimental drone ships.

Same goes for these, although I think they're even more... out of sync with the rest of the game.

RT5 Line-up.

I have plans for a less stylistic set of factions too, but I want to do these guys as a quick and simple deal to get up to date.

I think you should chop up bits of the second fleet and overlay them on the first fleet as bits of armor and hull plating. Then darken the original hull that's peeking out underneath and add more noise and doodads and you have yourself a mighty fine looking ship.

Thule, i like your huge tugboats. I'm not sure about the one on the right, i like the new greebling plate armor but it feel a bit different from other TLS style. Nevertheless, still incredible ships. BTW, what about your three faction coalition project?

Stalled ;) But if you want to use the sprites or names (3CC - 3 Colors Coalition) or the whole idea be my guest and take them, would glad to see them be put to use. As for now xeno has them integrated in his Vacuum mod under new managment ;)

@Davidoff
Really great little subfaction there. Only nitpick i still have are the 3 ships on the left. As their engines point directly to the cargo they are supposed to haul. The Rest looks awesome, and i get a really neat modular feeling from them. Great Stuff, oh and thanks for the cookie ;)




@Erick if you need some blinky stuff for your ships you could find useful gifs here http://www.loadinfo.net/
And glad youre working on the Zorg sprites, looks promising so far ;)

Blinky stuff can wait for now.  :D I've been working on animated weapons.

Quick animation of the Magnetometric charger on a capital ship:

You get the idea. It looks better ingame with lots of flashes and stuff. It charges up a magnetometric field before launching it in a certain direction.

This is the new Control Matrix. Basically a flying weapon of doom.

What an interesting idea, I think I'll try it.

@mendonca That ship actually looks well armed, but knowing it will be park of the PACK assures me that it will suck balls on it's own.
 As said before, the pink color gives it an organic vibe.

 And that portrait, omg, should steer clear of this thread for a while.

Strangely it is much longer to make a cruiser ;D So I put the first rather than all at once. I wonder if I have not played too much with the tool level ?
