Sorry for the inconvenience, IF. I was having trouble with the "relative" path option in PowerArchiver, so I went with "full" path. I'll see if I can get it straightened out for Version 0.9.

Rojero, if you do decide to try Moray - which is a 3D modeling program - don't forget to download Povray as well. It's a shareware rendering program, and you can't get nice pictures of your Moray models without it. Here's the link www.povray.org

Thanks Ragnarok. But, you know, I don't think I'll ever be as prolific as Atrocities...

Just imagine it was not a one ship but several, each with one faction on board, directed to different systems..

That's a great idea Oleg. I couldn't do the whole thing myself, though. I wonder if there are enough interested people willing to make a mod on that theme?

Thanks PvK and Sen. Raging Deadstar. I was thinking that the Verdurans would be peaceful, good at diplomacy, and master negotiators - but tenacious in defense. Now I'll have to figure out how to mod the AI to make it so.

I CALL PROGENITORS!!!! BACK!!! THEY'RE MINE!!!

Sure thing Hugh, they're yours. I was thinking of the Nautilus Pirates myself. If anyone else is interested in working on an Alpha Centauri mod, please post here. A few more people and we just might be in business.

The efficient, rational Consciousness will slowly prevail over all of you, barbaric, atavistic, completely biological creatures

(sorry guys, had to, another fan of SMAC here

)

First off Chronon your very welcome. You made good job from the example i sent you, feel free to contact me for more assistance

Second, the race is very very nice. It is extremly clean-looking, which however might be a drawback - doesnt look a realistic material, more like pLastic. Try making it darker on the far sides (for moray, thats the Finish effect in case you still dont know -- and you should

-- reduce Ambient and incrase Brilliance). Except for that its a brilliant piece of work, especially for the first try. Keep up the good work!

One 'complaint' - those purple things at the back remind me of socks! ships in socks!!!

TerranC, this is such a spontaneous idea we don't have any details yet. I'll think about general parameters and see what I can put together. That will probably be sometime tomorrow (2 July).

Taera - Thanks for the suggestions! Do you mind if I email you about the finish effect you mentioned? I'm sure there's plenty of other things I need to know as well...

PS. Socks? Hmm, perhaps the Verduran in the race pic should wear purple striped socks...

this shipset look very nice. Chronon, please let me know about the place where it can be downloaded / previewed as soon as you have come to a finalized Version. Then I'll add it to the racedir.
