[Gotcha!]

Akhem...

161 hand-made ship sprites. Beat this, guys [/spoiler]

I... don't think anyone would be willing to try. Nice going though. You're clearly insane. But in a good way.

[ValkyriaL]

"digs out sprite folder that ain't mod related" aight dude.. you really wanna do this? cuz I see that as a challenge!

[Okim]

Well, i can dig out art ever created for other mods and table top projects... In fact i never actually accounted all of this stuff - it might be quite interesting to figure out how much of my life i`ve wasted on all of this.

Sometimes I think that I'd like to create that many sprites for a mod. Then I realise I'd get to the 10th sprite, then go back and delete all the sprites 1 - 9, and redo them. Then I'd end up redoing the 10th. And so on. And so forth.

In any case, new colouring/shading technique I've been trying out:

The Argus-class torpedo frigate

[xenoargh]

That's lovely, great improvement

[Piemanlives]

Wait Valk don't challenge the creator of ACM, seriously, that probably won't end well considering SOTS and the way ships are designed.

Why might I be reworking these sprites? Who knows? (Maybe some do)

"Revised by me" "Original by HELMUT"

Process:

Spoiler

When I first saw this, I knew it was solid looking sprite(nice work HELMUT!). First, I removed some bits I felt were unnecessary by painting over them. Then, I made some the of the shading more pronounced, most noticeably the back spine-thingies. Finally, I went and I cleaned up some edges I thought were a tad bit blurry, as well as killing some stray highly-opaque pixels around the edges.

Critiques are welcome!

[HELMUT]

A possible addition to your Citadel mod Foxer? They have a very similar color scheme after all. And yes, your version is definitely cleaner, better.

Just finished the core vessel of my orange ship army.

Olympus class


Olympus class with its TITAN warhead loaded.

Also the Interrex destroyer, original sprite by Shellster!

Jesus. I really enjoy the feeling of depth on that ship. Are all of these going to be one faction?



The Arachne-class Escort Destroyer has two terminator drones and a strong shield. Find it in Tri-Tachyon fleets in Uomoz' Sector.

[Debido]

What are you going to destroy with that titan warhead??? A star system?

[ValkyriaL]

To fight big ships..you need BIG MISSILES!

[Nanao-kun]

To fight big ships..you need BIG MISSILES!

Or a Macross Missile Massacre!

[Gotcha!]

Or a big ship with a suicidal crew!

[SpaceRiceBowl]

Or an Overpowered Modded Ship!
I feel like we should stop this train...

[HELMUT]

Cycerin, i like your Destroyer (isn't it a bit small for a destroyer?). While it has very angular feature it still looks very high-tech.

Are all of these going to be one faction?

Yes, eventually i'd like to make them a playable faction. Might take some time though.

Overpowered? It shouldn't be. It's basically an oversized Thule meteor carrier but other than its giant missile, it's quite a crappy ship. Also i want it to have something like 90% cr deployment cost and no cr regeneration, you have to go back to your station to reload another missile, also it will have a very long weapon charge-up delay before firing.

Lore wise it's supposed to crack open the planet's crust and cause some cataclysmic volcanic chain reaction. Game wise it's more a "f**k you" letter to the enemy fleet, you just have to aim well and not blowing your own fleet with the explosion radius.
