New Ship Set - Orion Empire

AJC · #1 March 25th, 2003, 07:42 AM

Well I just kind of felt a flash of creativity for a few weeks...so much to my wifes dismay I went downstairs...and vanished.. So its been awhile since I made a ship set - the Dominion Imperium amazons was the Last time..

Anyway this is the latest . feedback is welcome!
(its in the mod forum)

Very well inspired shipset indeed, how good is the AI ?

Planning to add neostandard pictures ? (love modded game compliant shipsets).

If you want a demo page, I'll can make you one.

Darn, wish I'd had this shipset when P&N on PBW started... I'm playing a race called the Orion Republic in that game, modelled after my speculation at the time on the Ancient Orions of MOO

Nice set. I have to test the AI.

thank you for the feedback!

I did make a slight correction to the Light cruiser mini - it was slightly off center in the mini portrait , it needs to be shifted to the right slightly...so I will post that fix today.

Out of curiosity - did you like the race portrait or should I make the race portrait a single image of the woman or the man?

My original thought was to try to represent the Male and Female aspect of the race.

Neostandard? is that the other ship classes some of the other sets have? like corvetts, and other size classes? I hadnt really considered it. Although I could if I had the information as to whats needed to complete a neo standard set..

IF you want to create a page for it - sure! thats fine. The set is posted on the PBW also.

The AI .. I am still running it through its paces and it will probably get tweeked over the next few weeks.. however it should be at least a competent as the standard AIs in Gold 1.84.

That doesn't change how the ships appear to other players though.
