Rags, just about every shipset out there consists only of those things. The thing is, there's just a whole LOT of them

Well, thing is, I am needin alot of ships, possibly upto 20 for each race. so with 20 races, thats 400 ships, then u've got the portraits and other images for each race, so perhaps it would be best to try and get a number of ppl on this

One thing, Im thinkin of makin Gas giants un-colonizable until late in the game (any thoughts on this)

One thing (2) could someone suggest a name for this mod, Id be grateful

Name might ought to depended on what you're doing with the mod (Proportions), though the significance of some names I do not understand (Adamant). If you just want a code-word style name I can suggest a few non-sequiturs.

Yellow
Bear
Com
S.P.E.C.T.E.R.
Toast
Runner
Denim
Corvette
Water Pipe
Redial
Fire
Barschque
Serial
Mango
Whipped
Style
New
Stone
Address
Broken
Cromag
Frogger
Pac-Mod
Alien

...

Hope that helps.

Thx for the ideas, but I still cant decide

The only idea I have is DZM-mod (DeadZone's Mega mod)

DeadZone · #5 June 28th, 2003, 10:04 PM

So is anyone up for helping?

Are you sure you need completely unique shipsets? Between the existing races and the imagemod, you should be able to find almost anything..

Be sure to NOT include the images in your download zip. Most people will already have the imagemod installed, so there's no sense making 'em download it again

Just put a note in the readme and a link to the imagemod with your downloads.

Also:
Try my tech gridder to help with making large sets of similar components for nice, long tech areas, and even multi-dimensional techs.
