Misoza Member Posts: 164 Registered: Jan 2001	posted 07-23-2002 03:52 AM Nice work CM, saw these a while back and was itching to get them for my main shipset but thought progress had stopped. o_0 As for the capital ships, im not really a starwars geek, and i think the community has decided against larger caps?? I think jus jazz up the old ones will be fine, however i'm extremely ignorant as to their authenticity to the movies. anyways gg, the shipset is $ IP: Logged
Satanic_Spirit Member Posts: 15 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 07-23-2002 05:04 AM VERY nice...just some opinions/questions/statements 1. I think the TIE Interceptor is a little too dark (this may be just me...i like the ships easy to see) 2. I dunno about 3 tile ships...then wouldn't the caps have to be 4 tiles or something? 3. This may sound like a stupid question...but its only the shipset which is being changed not the ship settings right? Ok Finally...being a Star Wars Freak i have to comment that... 1. A skipray blastboat is primarily a smuggler/rebel ship rather than a imp ship. :P 2. A Y-wing is the same length as a X-wing rather than bigger. 3. Yes TIE interceptors have white paint on the support frames for the solar panels and LIGHT gray paint on the body. (its the the bit on the solar panels between the struts which are black) 3. Never heard the name of the no 3 ship...maybe it should be changed to 'Claw-Fighter' which the Chiss use...yeah I know your all thinking wtf is he on about...nvm i just never heard of the name for ship 3. I'll post later things as i think of em But seriously...nice work on the shipset. --------Posted after----- Ok about 2 secs after clicking the Submit button (and while revenger was tking me in the new map..)I realized that 1. the x-wings nose looks a little short (stretch it? =)) 2. The imp interceptor and 3 prong craft (still havn't figured out wtf the name is) is a little too GREEN... 2. [This message has been edited by Satanic_Spirit (edited 07-23-2002).] --------After the second edit------ Maybe the caps should be also renamed something else? Not to be too critical or anything...but i think a rebel cruiser or a imp destroyer would beat the crap out of a couple of fighters. Maybe change it to 'Loronar Strike Cruiser' or 'Lancer frigate' and 'Corellian corvette' (<---too weak so maybe not) or 'Carrack cruiser' or even 'Nebulon-B frigate' for the rebels (yes i know that nebulon-b frigates are imperial...but alot of them defected and stuff) [This message has been edited by Satanic_Spirit (edited 07-23-2002).] IP: Logged

Sentinel^ Moderator Posts: 242 Registered: Apr 2001	posted 07-23-2002 07:39 AM I like the shipset very much, only a few ships are way too dark though. maybe lighten them a lil up ? Also if this shipset will get used in main, you will not be forced to use it. The shipset will be optional. -Senti IP: Logged
Satanic_Spirit Member Posts: 15 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 07-23-2002 08:03 AM also...come to think of it, as the skipray and the y-wing are 3 tiles would the old shipset be unusable? Coz they are only 2 tiles across. IP: Logged
Dodj Member Posts: 148 Registered: Sep 2001	posted 07-23-2002 09:03 AM i dont see how it can be optional since the bomber is larger than the original, among other differences in sizes of ships...wont this cause a problem if ppl use hte shipset and some dont......or are all the ships the same size and my eyes are just focked, i only had a quick peek at the new ships.

Sentinel^ Moderator Posts: 242 Registered: Apr 2001	posted 07-23-2002 09:43 AM the 3 wide ships will be in the normal shipset bigger too i guess -Senti IP: Logged
GreenOlive Member Posts: 260 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 07-23-2002 08:44 PM The settings would have to be adjusted if we were going to have different ship sizes :P Otherwise the bombers would be too easy to hit, etc. IP: Logged
Misoza Member Posts: 164 Registered: Jan 2001	posted 07-23-2002 10:53 PM 2. Skipray Blastboat (right now it is a 3 tile ship but will/can be shrunk for main) 4. Y-Wing (right now it is a 3 tile ship but will/can be shrunk for main) gg d IP: Logged
Pak-Man Member Posts: 13 Registered: Jul 2002	posted 07-23-2002 11:07 PM Would this be changing the sizes of the ships.... i think the levithian is to bulky but i do like the new WB. GOOD WORK! -Pak IP: Logged

Chicken-Man- Member Posts: 591 Registered: Oct 2001	posted 07-24-2002 07:25 AM dont change the size, for gods sake use whatever shipset you want but leave them all 2x2 IP: Logged
Crawdaddy Member Posts: 400 Registered: Jul 2000	posted 07-24-2002 12:17 PM Dammit CM! What have we told you about having your own damn thoughts?!??!! -Craw IP: Logged
AntShaw Member Posts: 11 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 07-24-2002 12:43 PM I like the designs. Alot! But, am really against the ship size increaeses. It would make them sitting ducks in center with all that extra size. Other than that. I like the approach of changing the visual aspects of the zone. IP: Logged
Cuervomuerte Moderator Posts: 37 Registered: Jun 2001	posted 07-24-2002 05:17 PM my bad i mentioned this in the news.txt but think i forgot to mention iton the main page. SHIPS 2 AND 4 WILL BE NORMAL SIZE FOR MAIN the reason they are bigger is well becuase it was an idea, and i just haven't resized them yet maybe i'll do that this weekend we shall see. but they will only be then ormal 2 tiles wide in the final shipset now to address more specific things Satanic_Spirit: i don't know much about the swz world, infact i don't know anything beyond the movies so when looking for ship designs i just hit the web looking until i found nice images of ships i thought could work that is how i found this. but since you seem to have better knowledge of star wars then most maybe you can help me find images to use for ship designs lightness: i will work on this i'm not sure what it is about some moniters or cards but people have told me that they can sometimes barely see the imperial ships, even though they are clearly visible to me, so i will try and lighten them up a bit IP: Logged
Misoza Member Posts: 164 Registered: Jan 2001	posted 07-24-2002 09:11 PM Why don't we make cap ships 3x3? The old big caps in research were 4x4 werent they? An not many ppl wanted them that large but how about 3x3? They could still go thru pretty much every base -Miso IP: Logged
Koddos Member Posts: 30 Registered: Mar 2001	posted 07-25-2002 08:50 AM I say let people test out 3x3 ships in privs! Make ships 7 and 8 3x3 and let everyone fly them! Maybe take away their energy for priv night! IP: Logged
Satanic_Spirit Member Posts: 15 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 07-26-2002 01:08 AM CM: what type of pictures are you looking for? also...i wouldn't have a clue how to make any type of graphic or picture on a computer...so i'm prolly not the best person to have as a helper :P IP: Logged
Eagle X Member Posts: 55 Registered: Apr 2001	posted 07-26-2002 02:56 AM Real cool shipset. And I want big capital ships, at least 4 tiles. IP: Logged
