I found Asymmetry to be annoying at first but dang do Asymmetric ships rock.

I kinda like how people keep editing the apogee to make it look more interesting |3 

Spriter's game of telephone.

how so ? i personally have so much trouble with ships that are asymetric or have to fight like old pirate ship (conquest, odyssey, apogee, etc)

what do you think of this idea.
I'll make a new thread in the modding section
and start up a communicty mod.
sprites will be created exaclty this way so -> take a ship (vanilla or hand-made by someone)
-> people can edit the sprite -> next person chooses to continue with the last ship or if he didnt like the changes  an older version ->
this continues until i (or someone else) think(s) there has been made enough edits -> then people can comment on what specs it should have (like good armor and low capacity or something)
-> I'll put it in-game -> now coders can take over and do whatever they like (same way as the sprites go) (of course keeping all the old versions intact) -> and then the circle is round
I could make a dropbox folder and anyone that wants to help create this community mod can pm me and ill add them to it.
ps. I won't lead the mod or anything. I would be just the host of the folder and the owner of the thread.
what you think?

Like "chain ships" on BSF forum? Like idea

well actually a complete chain mod!
coders can add planets or delete them ,maybe add an asteroid belt or some more convoys.
everything moddable is allowed to change, but ofcourse try your best otherwise the next one will not use the changes you made and they get lost.

This smaller version looked more like a battleship than a carrier to me, so i did a few modifications.
Could someone do some icons for the compacted apogee?

[TheHappyFace]

with icon and changed some shading for some more depth

edit: ow and i made this Community mod

[Raethen4e]

Love the tritach logos! Ok, i'll head over to the community mod thread, let's see how far we can take this!

nice, that looks more like the kind of ship id like using, altho i think the 2 hardpoints in the midsection should be turret and it'd be perfect. assuming the things along the ship spine are turret slots, thats even cooler. even better if they have 360 arc

Lol
I would like to redirect you to this link and you could adapt the sprite yourself!

cant, im aweful at even simple spriting, much less modding a starship and i respect your rule of not posting on that thread you linked unless you have a sprite to show.
so...dead-end for me.

haha, i would have published a mod for my faction by now if i knew how to sprite XD

[TheHappyFace]

hmm well there are a lot of guides in the spriters thread (see signature)
and we can help you develope your spriting in the jugdement thread (signature again)
but otherwise you might help us make the .ship files and ship csv data ^^

Flight decks are too integral to a ship's structure to just be added on and taken off at will with a hull mod. All carriers have visible flight decks because they need openings in the hull and some sort of runway for quick landings during battle. That's too much to change with a hull mod.

Gutting out the cargo bays and slapping a big airlock door where a wall used to be isn't all that difficult. It'd wreck your hull integrity and armour (not to mention eating all your cargo space), and probably would be a lot slower than a proper flight deck... but hey; there you go, makeshift carrier in a pinch.

It wouldn't be balanced as a hull mod though. Perhaps something to be implemented later (hull conversions in "dry-"dock?).
