I LOVE Space Empires IV Ships!
 

Post about how COOL the SE4 ships are here.

Re: I LOVE Space Empires IV Ships!
 

Only certain ones. The Xiati and Norak, for example, are cool looking ships, but the EEE I detest. Their ships don't look like real starships to me.

For me the EEE has a great merit : they are unique. I like them juste because it's really alien-looking
After all you don't know what is a real ship ; most shipset are too human-looking for me (Jraenar for example)

I quite like the EEE myself, and the EEEvil EEE is very nice as well. For one reason or another, I love the Cryslonite shipset; I love it so much it is one of the few shipsets currently installed on my computer (along with KanesS and Regency).

Re: I LOVE Space Empires IV Ships!
 

I agree. The Eee are great, im using them in a couple of games. Same goes for the Chrylonite, i mostly use them as the nemesis of the Eee when roleplaying. But i like them because both are very unique. The Xiati are great too, because they ships have very much style ! Maybe someone knows the Nloam, a very nice saucer shipset !

I simply like "human-looking" shipsets better. And it is for that reason that I don't like the EEE, EEEvil and Cryslonite, amongst others.

I like the totalyan's ships. They look cool. I dislike the Eee, they're evil http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

The Toltayan transports remind me of Red Dwarf http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Some of my favorite ship designs have been the Star Destroyer from Star Wars, the Cylon and Colonial ships from battle star Galactica seris(Original mostly). The Cylon fighters from the original seris were cool. The ships in the current seris aren't bad. The original Romulan "Bird of Prey" was cool. I liked Vaders tie fighterr but not the regular ones. The Maritian saucers from original War of the Worlds were kinda of cool. There are others.

I have decided to create a shipset with all the ships I like. So I am pulling from several sets. It is not coordinated but I like them. Who is to say that a empire of whatever would design starships with all the same basic design. Maybe they would be designed strickly on function. Oh well.

It is still developing. I hope that this allowed. Never thought about the copyright issues.

The Terran ships are appalling. Ugly, dull and difficult to distinguish from one another. Plus the runways on the carriers look more like stupid sticky-out things then runways unless you know what you're looking at.

The Eee are okay. They're interesting because they have a fundamentally different design from anything else, but also rather dull as they're simply a series of big blobs with a progressively larger number of smaller sattelites.

Got to love the Phong colony ship, though. O_o
