Status: offline 		Already done the first ship. I must admit I was quite impressed by the games graphics. I'm going to make a couple more shipsets out of it for sure. Anyway, I haven't picked the colour scheme yet. I like grey best, but that might be just my 'humanish' tendencies and I want this shipset to be 'alienish' :P. Any suggestions from more experienced sci-fi fans?

Heres the ships:





Most of it is made out of the big advent carrier J HG T requested. Hope SoSE fans don't mind the changes I made. I usually try to make new ships using parts of others, rather then copy the original ones.

Though, this individual might complain a little about changing the features of the beautiful Halcyon, the new version still looks excellent. Blue, green or magenta would be this ones choices for colors.

Oh wait, I misread that. You're a Romanian.

And FYI, the Kilt struck fear into the hearts of all those on the battlefield. Mainly because we don't wear anything underneath!

That is neat. But I also do not want to see the cost of shipping the DW CDRom to you...
And do not feel bad about IGard... the only way I knew is because I kept hearing bagpipes in the cargo hold.

No Moshe Dayan was just one of those guys who had a classic saying for all occasions... that one was at a press conferece.

I would not like to find myself figthing these guys. I wonder how a romulan version of William Wallace looks like though....

Seems most of you like magneta best (though I always thought of it as pinkish-violet :P )so I'll be applying that to all the ships. This colour scheme reminds me of a race from the last seasons of the Star Trek DS9. Dominion was the name I think.

It´s always a pleasure to look at your moddings Kalthaniell.   and use´em

It would be great if you go for the white overlay. Could use it for my revamped securian warrior race.

I could do both acctually and release the greyish one as alternate version. It's 30 sec of work for each ship, so it's not a problem. Btw, I've done military ships and now I'm starting to work on civilian. With luck the set(s) will be ready by tomorrow.

I think Kalthaniell can make the resources available and then we can use whatever colors we like to take it further, kinda like a second tier modders

Hmmm.. not sure... Is there any way I could check if I am, that does not involve skin cutting and exposing my internal organs? :P

If someone really wants to I don't mind sending my resource files. I work in Gimp, so I guess most of you would be proficient with it.

All jokes aside, these ships looke good... I prefer the white, but whatever color/colour you use, I will use the mod!
Has the mod been completed yet?

These guys look like they are wearing kilts to me? Have we discovered IGard's fascination with the Romulans?




Igard, I pray you know this is meant in good natured fun!
