Everything is rendered in Blender.

I have an idea for a ship mod I could do for fun and maybe enter into that competition thingy. Could you model a toaster ship for me (with the toast slots facing forward), and toast missiles?

Hey schilcote, ever seen the "Flying Toaster" screensaver of the 1980's - 1990's? It used to come standard with early Windows editions, though now there is a version on www.downloads.cnet.com for the MAC OS. Your request rather reminded me of it...

I know the wolfen like the back of my hand, since I've stared at it for so long while making the mk II.

Anyways, Aeonic IS a better modeler overall, especially since he uses textures, and I'm too lazy to make [and too inept in that part also] and put textures on
Man, I totally forgot about the centurion. I just saw those Wolfen-like engines and the two prongs on the front and thought "Wolfen." Also, I didn't mean to imply that your models weren't top-notch, because, they definitely are. They just need better textures!

I don't use textures period! [all my textures are utter crap tbh - I try to find some online, but I have problems getting just what I want. I'm too picky

Here's a concept model for a Ringer Battle Pod. I figure the Teratons already have a monopoly on the whole sphere thing, so I'm trying to give the Ringers a different look.

Of course, you have to realize the actual ship is currently displayed in a 30x30 box. Its a tiny little thing - you don't get to see all the details!

You know you can display the larger picture in a dockscreen - just need to make a reason to do so.

Spectacular work! Keep it up, we'll have to promote you or something.

Hmm... That looks more Luminous than Ringer. And what about my toaster?

Aeonic · Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:26 pm

I'm here to draw space ships not kitchen appliances.

Is there any way to replace the default Ship's Interior picture?

You can also look into using the <Display> element of a DockScreen. There you can have a function that returns a list describing the image you want to show, depending on the ship the player is using.

You can also include your own version of &dsShipInterior; with every playership mod you make, thereby making every ships interior unique. The way to do that is to make a resource of the background picture you want, and use the UNID in the backgroundID attribute of the dockscreen.

Do note however, that your mod would not be the only one overriding that screen, so your mileage would vary.

Any suggestions on which (two?) ships I should send into the competition?

Sat Aug 01, 2009 1:57 am

I'd go with the Agressor Destroyer and the Praetorian. They and the Teraton ships are your best, and the Teraton ships have been released elsewhere.
