Anything to do with ships. Designs, ideas, graphics, any input you might offer related to AE. You don't necessarily have to be on the AE team to make suggestions.

I've made this extension of AE because of my inherent dislike of having to go to 'page 2' all the time, so please save me some embarrassment and use it.

Good idea. What are you going to do when this topic gets to long, make a "AE - Ship related II" What about the schooner? I thought you said the sprite was done.

It should be available for viewing [url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=joveia&templatefn=FileSharing.html&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en"]here[/url].

At the moment I also have SETR to cope with, which is where most of my graphic concentration is concentrated.

Your ship designs are nice, Count Altair, but you've got the texturing all wrong.

When I get my email to work, I'll help you on that.

Hey Slug, Count Altair could one of you send me the history of ares file that you both have. I would really like to read it.

I acknowledge my ship's textures are a little too bright, but they are very close to the Ishiman texture. Make your own texture if you want, and I'll compare the 2.

[EDIT]
I'm going to change the model a bit, make it more Romulan, hollow interior, pilot end, warp nacelles, the works.

Just remember as you are romulanisn your ships that the race that really built them is the Ishiman

Brook: I'm sending you Slug's email. It doesn't really have a lot of information in it, just the timelines, so I guess it will be ok, (and you are on the AE team after all).

Slug: Quite nice, closer to NL's ships than my texture. Email them.

*sigh* NL wants this info kept under a lid, and I even refused yet you still had to spill the beans. He is not working on the plot and you better not do anything like this again.

They are Nathan Lamont's ships. I'll email you a rough texture resembling it.

Slug if you had told us that instead of just saying "No" we would both have respected NLs wishes.

I would have thought a simple "no" would have sufficed, but what's done is done.

As for Gaitori Ships, I'm working on the gunship now

It would have if we had known why you said it. I figured you were just too busy to do it at that time.

Actually I had a chat with Slug on GR about it, and I think (we) agreed that anyone doing the levels who was in the AE project, or in a position somehow related to the storyline, would get that email. I also need a more detailed one for some other things I have in mind... <cryptic wink>

Very nice, much better than the Gaitori cruiser, aesthetically speaking. I think we've got a new Gaitori weapon on our hands Posted Image

I'm going to be re-doing my Ishiman ships to increase the level of detail, hopefully in preparation for a possible upcoming movie...

I've thought a little more about the weapons for other races:

Cantharan:

Ion Cannon, Heavy Ion Cannon, Antimatter Reactor, Fullerene Reactor, Missile, Concussion Missile, Hyper Beam.

Gaitori:

Atomic Pulse, Heavy Ion Cannon, Ion Cannon, Concussive Pellet Gun, Concussion Missile, Missile, Photon Beam.

Please, where are the weapons ideas I was promised from other corners of the webboard?

I'm forgoing modelling the Ishiman ships so I can model the Cantharan ships. My reason is that the Cantharans will play a larger part in the plugin than the Ishiman will, and that our level designers will then be able to start planning Canth-friendly levels.

Here is a further debriefing on some of the newer weapons:

Ion Cannon: Small damage, knocks systems off-line.
Heavy Ion Cannon: Larger, piercing, higher damage, knocks systems off-line.
Antimatter Reactor: Generators antimatter in a pretty familiar manner.
Fullerene Reactor: Long-range weak pulses.
Missile: Generic missile.
Concussion Missile: Heavy missile.
Hyper Beam: A derivative of the photon beam, but with lower damage, higher energy cost, and longer range.
