Designing New

[Atrocities]

I have no order to the designs yet. I am just trying to make them look good at this point.

I started working on this set at 3 pm PST.

[Atrocities]

I am not sure if they are worth completing, they look interesting to me, and I would like to continue working on the set, but I really am not sure if others will like the. If I finish the set I think I will name them the Parable. A race that takes control of planets by bombing the population with neutron bombs. Save the buildings, kill the people, one ready made Colony.

Looking really good, Atrocities! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

You guys who do this have my admiration...I don't think I have the imagination or patience.

[Katchoo]

I like 'em! They look like Ships you'd expect to see in an episode of Babylon 5.

Sleek, modern, and pulsing with energy. Can't beat that!

[Raging Deadstar]

They're pretty cool, very Nice and smooth.

Personally they strike me more as A Race controlled by corporations, the huge neon lights surrounding the ships and everything just screams out Commercials and Casinos to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Bomb the planet with Neutron Bombs and take whatever infrastructure reamains http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Very powerful looking. I can see a slight simularity here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

I could give them swooped wings...... Naw.

[Renegade 13]

The wings are great as they are. From the looks of those ships, it looks like it'll be another awesome set. You have my thanks for creating such great ship sets for all us ungrateful fans to enjoy!

[Dragonswrd]

I think they look good. I do like the others you had started the other day too. One thing I would like to see, if you don't mind a little input, is when making the larger ships, instead of just adding more engines try doing something else to them to make them look larger. Like on smaller ships, don't add a dorsal bridge, but on larger one give them a bridge. Or keep going with the second set. Just some thoughts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Kamog]

The lights look great! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[bearclaw]

Impressive. Most Impressive.

[Atrocities]

Thanks. Of Course they will all be sized correctly for the set if I ever release it.

I keep running into a creative block. I know the desire to design is there, just no inspiring designs.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Dragonswrd]

These look nice. Especially for carriers.

[sachmo]

Looks like Remorhaz may have a new shipset! No more borrowing from Babylon 5... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Aiken]

Atrocities, and you call this "creative block" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I wish myself to have such a creative block all the time! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Excellent set, AT. Kudos to your work as always. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Imperial]

very good work!!! Very well done designs and it has a nice flavor to it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Why would carriers in space need a flight deck?

Just because something is not needed in space doesn't mean you shouldn't include it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Edit: And yes I know why a carrier in space would not need a flight deck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Fyron]

You wanted people's opinions on the ships... sorry I can't be a yes-man. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I could careless about physics of space when designing a ship... For gods sake it is only a game and I am no rocket scientist. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Carriers

[sachmo]

Flight deck in space...maybe a superconductive magnetic launch system?

[Katchoo]

Maybe the deck is made of Nerf, and it's there for Fighters to land/smash into, not for launching from!

Go Go Gadget logic!

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Nice.

[Raging Deadstar]

Personally i don't care about physics in these spacecraft.

I mean, Just because we Humans don't need a flight deck in space doesn't mean all races don't.

(Although maybe they don't, but just havn't figured it out yet!) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But these ships are incredible, definitely one of your best works! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Atrocities]

I am glad people like the design. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

New Covered Flight Deck Carriers

[General Woundwort]

The covered flight decks are a major improvement. Top notch work, as usual. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Atrocities]

Thanks. Fyron inspired it.

[primitive]

Yummy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Just some more concept work.

[Dragonswrd]

Nice. I like the fact you didn't just add more engines to make them bigger. The colors are good too. The covered carriers I cool and different.

[ace joh]

I like these Last ones, they almost have a modern navy battleship and carrier to them, but translated to space http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

btw, what prog are YOU using? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif (I don't like this emoticon, but it'll have to do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif )

[Atrocities]

I meant the covers were inspired by Fyron.

What does "emoticon" mean?

[ May 11, 2004, 00:20: Message edited by: Atrocities ]

[Fyron]

An emoticon is another term for a smiley. It is "emotion icon." Many emoticons are not smiley faces, such as the Message Icons for Posts here (right below Displayed Name when typing a new post), so "smilies" is an innappropriate general term.

For some bizarre reason, this forum uses the term "Instant Graemlins." I have no idea why.
