Using non-stock images as alternates leads to funky behavior with ship sets not designed for use with your mod, as will happen in nearly every PBW game. A bunch of empires using the same generic images for many ships tends to be annoying IMO.

Ok i looked at those designs and it is great. The only thing is Starknight ships as i have imagined them are redish and made of powerful metal. I have included an attachment which has hand-drawn designs that i have drew. They are images of my minds view of the Starknight frigate(medium class warship) and the Starknight Walker(Large Troop). Also for the record the thing at the front of the starknight frigate is a lighting gun. A supper powerful lighting gun that kills shields and disables systems. Now if this helps here is a little history of the starknights.

The Starknight empire has existed for over 10000 years. At first it saught to expand and bring peace to all, but after years of galactic rule they became corrupt. The Ancesters of Anui once fought the starknights in a war when the empire was expanding. The starknights are ruthless but claim to be good. They are human. They are a race obsessed with loyalty to the empire. If a Starknight soldier wishes to be on a Starship he must be willing to kill a close family member to prove that the success of the empire is most important to him then anything else. Thier ships all have a redish color to them and are covered in neatly arranged large metal plates.

Now in regard to the Conoleasion Empire, and Shardania collective, they will still be there, but in my story those empires are not encountered until the Starknight empire is beaten. Now designs for them have been taken from designs i got on-line, so they wont be a problem. Now i will(hopefully with help) be able to come up with designs for the Jenovans and Fredasians. I already have a pop portriat of the Fredasians i just need thier ship designs worked out.

If anyone is interested in makeing designs for those two races before i get to it, here is a little bit of how i invisioned their ships to look.

Fredasian ships are mostly a dark brown metal covering. It is dark but not dark enough to the point that it doesnt look brown. Thier ships are made of raw minerals taken right from their planet and as such they lack defense but more then make up for it in numbers and their extremly leathal Ionized plasma beam. It eats right threw armor and has a high refire, but the projectile doesnt move quik enough to kill fast-moving targets. They are a three legged brown race, but again i got a good pop pic so no worries there.

Now the Jenovans are nature loveing semi-pacifists, and by that i mean they dont like war but they will fight if threatened in any way. As far as designs go i have really come up with anything, all i have thought of is their colors are white and green. They are human, and good looking ones as well. In fact, in my story the wife of the Anui Rebel commander is a Jenovan princess.

With that being said, Strategia_In_Ultima, good work on the ship, it is a gerat design. more designs similiar to that and colored red would be great. Also the Starknight flag as i have pitured it is a red flag with a golden star that has SKE curving under that. More help in design would be great and thanks so much for your all's impute, now if you will excuss me i need to upgrade from version 1.6. lol and oh yea get back to work on designs, and files.

Starknight Frigate and Walker coming up. In the meantime, is this more what you had in mind for the Starknight's colours?

This started out as a Frigate, but now that I'm done with it it seems more like a Light Cruiser to me. I forewent the side cannons in favor of a battery of smaller turrets, mainly around the bridge, and one main cannon up front. Personally, I like the front end, with the pointy ridges around the barrel of that huge spinal-mounted main cannon, but that's just me

You like?

Walker coming up.

OH YEAH!!!

That is so stinking sweet dude, and yes that shade of red is the colors i imagined. All we need is a a top view of the ships and i can implament them into the game. In all honesty the Starknight lighting ship looks so much better then i had thought, again great job!

Also i now have the latest version so work on the mod will continue as planed. I have included a pic of a Rebel large troop. The same design will be used for the large fighter but the fighter version of course will have the traditional Anui Rebel blue pointed wings.
