[Vasudan Admiral]

Well, turns out 2 weeks goes by really fast. :\

Only really managed to get about 2/3rds of the texture done, and clean the mesh up.

Not much I can do about that now though. Here's the latest version:

I'll continue to work on this over the next month or so to finish it off and get a proper, fully functional release out the door.

Even halfdone, its an excellent submission VA! c:

While there could've been more competition in the Vasudan and Shivan categories (or at least in the Shivan  ), still, 12 entries ain't bad. We've got some neat and original models, like the Mahal, Iapetus, and fightermedic's Shivan ships. May the best models win! 

I agree with the idea of giving future contests specific themes, though.

[Black Wolf]

Ok! Contest is officially closed, but all of the extended entrants managed to get something in, and even though many were unfinished, I think they're  much closer and more competitive than they might otherwise have been.

Next step is the judging. I'm going to PM the various judges today to confirm nobody is sick or on holiday or anything, but assuming things are pretty standard, I think two weeks is more than enough time to assign some scores to a dozen ships. As such, I'm anticipating results will be finalized before the end of the month. I will confirm the actual date later today, once I've spoken to the other judges.

Finally, thanks to everyone who entered - ultimately, as groan inducingly cliche as it is, the real winners here are the campaign makers and FREDders of the community as a whole.We have a dozen new ships, including in some categories where modern, high quality ships are distinctly lacking. And that's good news for the entire FS modding community.

I'd also like to make special mention of those who learnt FS modding to enter the contest. I hope that this has been a positive experience for you guys, and that you'll go on practicing and perfecting the skills you've learned, making more and better mods for the rest of us to enjoy. Good luck with your ridiculously addictive new hobby!

[fightermedic]

no cliche here, motivating people to create new ships is what this was all about

btw: i count 13 entries, the beelzeboul and imp are not meant to be one ship, they just happen to share the same download link

[Lepanto]

And what kind of challenge might that be? 

[Oddgrim]

Black wolf gets ONE MILLION internets for the homestarrunner reference. ONE MILLION.

[MatthTheGeek]

I don't get it.

I think the thread just went full retard. Never go full retard.

[Rodo]

Nah, it must be some VERY old **** we don't know about 

[Luis Dias]

Actually...



THIS! IS! ME BEING LAZY AND NOT UPGRADING!

[MatthTheGeek]

It's not even 5.5g...

[FIZ]

Well folks, I just submitted my scores.  [shame face] To be honest, I was not expecting to be part of the panel.  I am no model/ ship forging guru. [/shame face]

Regardless, I hope you find my scores to be fair and welcome any participant wishing know why they lost points here or there to shoot me a PM.  I hope my contribution came from the user/noob friendly aspects of the competition, as bugs and completion is where I will be able to provide the most useful feedback.

Congratulations and a whole-hearted thank you to everyone who participated, I eagerly await to see all the entries in campaigns coming soon. 

[Black Wolf]

Nothing to be shamefaced about FIZ - you're the first one to get their results to me, and I think it's important to have a range of experience levels judging competitions like this. Ships aren't just made for other modders - it's good to get the opinion of a  player as well.

Today was two weeks, but I'm waiting on the rest of the scores. But, as promised, the final results will not be delayed beyond the end of the month, scores available or not. So hopefully mjn and Admiral MS will get their scores in in the next three days, otherwise it'll have to be based on a smaller panel of judges. Regardless, the scores will be finalized bby the 31st and posted on the 1st of November. So watch this space!

[mjn.mixael]

My scores are in as well.
