I think the worst part of posting something you created is that someone else takes it, modifies it, and makes it WORSE.

Maybe it's the graphic artist in me, but it's just a tragedy at that point. :/

Andres, Atrocities, thanks

I have indeed been gazing longingly at your shipsets for inclusion in my race for PBW.

The race I want to play is a 'sub-set' of the Red Gauntlets Merc Unit I created. The pic posted is their leader, the Kestrel. They are called Kestrel's Legion.

Just waiting on permission from a few other people and my shipset will see the light of PBW!

I don't play in PBW so much. I'm only in 2 games, and haven't been in any other before. There are no players in those games using shipsets I don�t have, but I think I�d prefer pics changing every turn rather than installing a race style I don�t like.

I revised all races in PBW when I created the race directory. (I should do that again periodically, probably some new race worth it was added.)
I did found, as I expected some shipsets that afaik weren�t posted anywhere else, (if you take a look at the race dir you�ll find a few linked to the pbw site) but they were really hard to find among all those junk shipsets.
I even separated a few race portraits from redundant shipsets. Who knows, maybe I�ll make them neutral players or use them for some new race sometime.

One thing I found that bothers me is that some of the races I made were posed many times with different names, not only without mentioning my name, but without even mentioning the "real" name of the shipset. I didn�t know I was downloading my own shipset until I opened it! Now that�s really annoying.

Deathstalker, you know I agree with Atrocities, and want thank you for your help.

Hey DS, you know that AI you did up for me for the Starwolf? Well I am at turn 100, and the Starwolf Race is in a solid first place position.

Thanks guys! Compared to the TDM guys I consider myself a 'hack' but it's nice to be appreciated . I had no problem creating AI's for your races, honored to do so. I get a real 'kick' out of the fact that there are people out there who are being 'challenged' by my work.

I have to slow down my output right now for updating AI's, too much wedding stuff coming up (3 weeks away.....). But will do what I can when I can. Expect to see more of my stuff in the new year. (Should'nt take long to finish up the update for the Starwars Empires though..)
