Have you thougth about asking permission to use some of the TBP stuff? I mean they have everything you need so if you could get some help or at least the models it might be a big step for you.

Wasn't there some huge problem over the TBP models when Zathras was first being created though?  I remember reading about IPAndrews banning use of any TBP models he worked on.

That is a seriously ugly flying brick.

And you know there's the AoG oldEA fleet if you're that short of ideas, right?

I'd suggest consulting torrents or the like if possible, as the company went out of business in 2002 or something.

you would want to talk to IP Andrews because apparently he was the whole team.

I'd say you could have my Sharlin, but it seems you already have that covered.

Thanks for your comments! Yes it's looking great! Had been waiting 2years to get an Omega in Sins, so decided to help after Tobiwahn saved the dying embers of the last attempt at a B5 mod for Sins five months ago ...

We will probably need someone else besides me to optimise the UV's of the models, because I have to do other stuff as well and there are still many ships to optimise and texture.


We have many great EA ships to add if anyone can assist in optimising the UV's for our models that would get us closer to getting them ingame ... even just doing ONE ship would be of great help!

Ah so its from the Tabletop.

As for these other ships. Some I recognize, some...not realy. Think I have seen one or the other in the Tabletop or fanpages but don't realy know them.
Beside that. Do you think just bringing in the ships for fun is good? I think it becomes very difficulte do balance things out the more ships you have and some might even end up not beeing used by anyone because there are others that fill in the roll as well.
Maybe concentrating on a few designs and makeing these oustanding in quality/balance/look might be better.

Else...where is the Warlock? Also this Omega, if it is one (5th from the left) has an odd grav section.

They need to fill the slots opened by Sins of a Solar Empire, as I understand it. Means five capships and a number of smaller ships for each race.

Post by: gevatter Lars on January 12, 2010, 10:07:09 am
Okay that might be a reason.
15 ships per side it would be then...IIRC.

That will be hard to fill. EA might have a good variaty from what I know but what about the other races? For example the Minmbari have, from what I know, 2 Cruiser-classes, 1 support and 1 fighter type. Don't know what the Tabletop invented in that regard.

OK ... With the EA ... later there will be a research timeline so earlier ships will be available first but later more powerful ones will become available through research.
Balancing we are at Pre-Alpha when EA and Minbari are done we'll look at balancing from the feedback of testers.
Quality - Our focus is quality.
Okay that might be a reason.

Yes EA has a large number of ships ... Minbari has less but enough 5 Caps - 5-6 Frigates - 3 fighters

Warlock model done waiting for me to tex.

Thanks for you comment and noted ... the Deathcloud is still a WIP ... but more cloudy from a distance ... as you zoom in you see more of the structure.

It should definitely be more cloudy. You couldn't see the purple parts until they went inside of the cloud, if i recall correctly.

Yes ... I zoomed into the cloud (but there are some issues with the particle effects as it is massive and sucks up a lot of RAM ... again still a WIP ...

So we do the best we can with the limitations we have :)
