you know, DRX, you can resize them yourself. :p

anyway, i've finished all destroyers and jugs. working on shivan ships right now.
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

I know there was no need for a huge picture, but I had no idea what sizes you wanted, so I took all the pictures at large sizes so you could make them smaller yourself in an imaging program.

I mean, it's your game, who knows better than you?

Yes that's the reason I took most fo them from top down, because of angles. A couple of them, like Ganymede and Knossos I didn't because it's better from a slight angle.

Anyway you didn't say if mine were good or not. If you don't like then I wont do anymore.

Why are some in HTL and some not?

I didn't mean any offense, they are good for what I need.

I said to slightly downscale the smaller ships because it is not the best thing to waste hosting space with unnessicary sizing.

You do not need to resize them yourself, I am happy with what I have now.

Im suprised this is more popular than freespacer!

Some in HTL and some in not? Every single one was taken in Model View which does not add any HTL effects at all as far I know.

And don't worry about the hosting space, I have it coming out of my ears, I have a little image upload script (which I used for the Fenris pics) which at this mo has about 2.5k pictures in total uploaded. It hasn't made much of a dent in my hosting. :D
I thought it best to do them all the same relative size since I didn't know what you want. Nyah?

How else could I have possibly done it with such vague instructions? ^_^

okie dokie then.  I have processed your pictures into little pieces now.  Geez, that Knossos is big!

I need a good hosting space for the .pdf downloads, and I am very short on cash, so a free site would do nicely.  The Mjolnir looks great with those glowmaps!  Il post some pics soon.
Don't mind the black background, for some reason Graphic Converter does weird things to clipboard pastes.
The white crosses are dividers for firing arcs.

Send them over to me on [email protected] and I'll host them.

Or if you are familiar with FTP I can set up an FTP account on my server for you, you'll be centralised to a single sub-folder which means you could even build a little website there if you wanted. (Would probably be www.ferretgames.com/fco or something)

The Vasudans are done, working on Shivans.

There were some setbacks to my work, but those are eliminated.

So when is this going to be done? I want to beat my brother at it.

When it's done. Don't ask for release-dates around here. ;)

Just curious 'cause I'm on spring break till next Monday so I've got a lot of time to play Freespace.

Speaking of which, anyone know a site that has help for using FRED?

Check the FAQ below :) and consider joing the FRED Academy.

Eek, making campaign missions. Best I've done is get a Valkyrie to shoot at my Ulysses.

Making campaign missions is little harder than making single ones. The only difference is that you have less freedom with what's going on at the start of the mission and that you have to end it in a way that sets up the following mission.

If fred2 worked on the mac I would be making some really great missions.  Before my PC almost litterally exploded, I was in the middle of a Fred2 campaign.

So you bought a Mac just to spite your PC?

.... That's a good idea!

Actually, I didn't buy anything.  I just had a mac, and when my pc died, I started using the mac more.

Also, It has been a while since you have done those pictures.  Any chance of the destroyers and whatnot?

Cobra was supposed to be doing the destroyers.

What about fighters and bombers? Do you want those too? I can do them tonight.

For me it is easiest for all of them to be done by one person in one area, so I dont have to go to multiple places to try to find the package I need redownloaded.  Since you have a large webspace compared to the average dude, I think that you should just do all of them.  Mabey I can get you a pre-version with just the terrans if I have all the pictures.

Also, do them in magenta, I figured out how to make transparencies!  Since many ships have black crap all over them, the black will be transparent unless the picture is in a stand-out background.

Thanks for what you have done so far!

Well that's the whole reason I did them in magic magenta too. :D

So again, fighters and bombers?
