I started working on the next race on my list: The Borak. These guys are responsible for all the abductions and ufo sightings. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Pretty nice. I was hoping someone would do a proper saucer-shipset, much like the Nolam one. Great work !

The ships are nice, but some of them (especially the smaller ones) are too similar in appearance.

I have found that making a shipset or two gets my creativity back up for the components. So you see, even my sidetracking is on track. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Just on a random note, how is the shipset going ? Im waiting for some time now, i really want to test it ! Please be so kind and hurry, im eagerly awaiting to finally see a shipset more suited to my needs than the Nloam one.

It's been going slow. My not-so-free time has been consumed by other activities lately. I suspect I should have more time for fun later this month. I promise I will finish this set. It is one of my favorites! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I finished some more images. Carriers and freighters. I also revised some of the smaller combat ships. I'm almost done with the stations and then it is a short run to completion. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Pretty good, the new ships. Maybe the scout and escort should get the same blue "fog" ? Oh well, your decision anyway. I will download and play with the set once it is ready, be sure.

Dont worry, there will be a worldship. Just havent gotten around to it yet. Also the scout and escort dont have the blue lighting because they dont have any blue light sources. It comes from little lights on the black portions the other ships have.

Looking great. Just one Question. Is the Massive Carrier supposed to be facing the opposite way to all the other carries? Still loks great though, although the brightness of the Mini's is a bit much.

The massive carrier isn't really backwards. If you look at the top saucer you see that it is still facing forwards. it is the large middle section that gives it a backward appearance.

The mini's were a nightmare to get right. It is because of the odd lighting I used on the models. I tried adjusting it but it ended up too dark or the shape was not clearly defined. During tests I decided the adjusted versions would be too hard to distinguish in-game. In the end I settled for the lighter versions. At least this way you can see them clearly. Sorry, but the lighting this time is too difficult for me to tweak. I plan on trying to alter them in photoshop but I'm not very optimistic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif
