It's fun having the original :DD



Don't you just hate hue/saturation though? you never get the exact color you want

[xenoargh]

I (almost) always desaturate and use color balance, myself; it usually works better in terms of the tonal spread and the luminosity setting usually acts as an in-step Curves operation

Anyhow, I like the Idea of TRON-ish stuff fighting it out against Grid-influenced design elements, etc.; a more-stylish Battleships Forever look might be cool.  I think that it's going to be necessary to build the stuff from go, though, to really pull it off

Anyhow, one more, now it's time for bed

[TheHappyFace]

Lol i really like the idea of those ships. problem is that its quiet hard to add good shading.

@sirboomalot
if you need any guidance on how to start drawing sprites check the spriters thread in the modding resources(its a sticky)
or go to the link in my signature. it contains guides for drawing sprites.

@everybody
please place any pictures in spoilers as said in the rules.
its easeier to read and than it doesnt take hours to scroll down   
thanks in advance

Pieced this together using nothing but a Condor and the hangar + turret mount from a Venture.

although the AI doesn't seem to be able to control the ship at all, click the spoiler to find out more because its off topic

Spoiler

It has 10 missile launchers all vary in damage types and its only using 4 of them because those 4 are slightly better then the rest, he doesn't even fire the others even if he is about to die, and he vents at really *** times, he vents with a reaper incoming in his face and eats it even tho he could easily shot it down or shield it and vent afterwords, and on top of that, he doesn't shield that good either, i can 1v1 kill it in a destroyer and that's near impossible because of the ships standard setup of weapons.. is AI broken or the ship to complicated for it??

Alright, lets see if my attempt at spriting a fighter is any better.

[ValkyriaL]

So tiny that i can barely see it  , but it looks good, home made or kit bashed?

[sirboomalot]

Bashed from a hound and a sprite I found in the core starfarer graphics called "claw"
Much color editing was done, of course, because colors FTW

Just for the heck of it, I'll post what I did to the hound before I even started kitbashing.

Looks like its been bathed in radiation and so hot its about to melt or something like that.

[sirboomalot]

Alright, been working on turning my avatar into a ship, think somebody could help me make the sprite look like it belongs in starfarer?

your sprite is looking too smooth.

Spoiler

if you want to make it look more star farer like, adding details is the  best way.
easiest to do this is the way medonca does it.
take a texture from an existing ship and put it in the layer above than play with the transparancy.
for more details see the ship guide medonca made in the spriters thread

well it looks good as a design but it's just like The Happy Face wrote, it looks too smooth & i have to ask, did you just copy that from another image or something ? cuz its look's a bit like is from another game/picture stuff like that

Yes, I did it fact copy it from another image. I found a picture of my avatar that was slightly larger, cut it out of that, and worked at it until it was in the right shape to be a ship.

Now lets see if I can figure out how to use these layer things every1 is talking about.

[FlashFrozen]

Just as a personal experiment, I've "Tron-ed" a portion of the game just to see how it'll look like

Behold! The Tr-Onslaught! *snicker*

[sirboomalot]

Hah, Tronslaught 

Anyways, I went and made a kitbash in under an hour, still work'n on my sprite'n skillz to see if I can get them up to par with every1 else.
Here is the result:

the shape looks quiet good.
still i would prefer it to be a little darker.
it is just too greenish atm for star farer
