• Finish adding weapons to components.txt
• Finish adding racial facilities to facilities.txt
• Finish off system type entries (nebula/storm/asteroid etc)
• Add racial trait units to vehiclesizes.txt
• Make simple "placeholder" images for racial ships

Well strike off systemtypes - I've finished entering them at work today.

In total there are 100 completely new systemtypes.

Greetings.

I thought I'd share some works in progress:


The upper ship is a Carrot Imperial Scout Ship Type I (140kT), and the lower ship is a Carrot Imperium Patrol ship (180kT). The textures are in development and more details (windows, vents, etc) will be added of course.

Here is the completed Carrot Scout Ship, Type I.



The upper image is actual portrait size, and the lower image is zoomed a bit so you can see some of the smaller details. I didn't go too crazy with the details since it'd be mostly a waste of time as they'd never be noticed in the portrait.

The ship itself is just under 9 metres in length and carries a crew of 40. It's generally armed with 2 Retinol BLasters, which are visible in the image. The engines themselves are located aft and are enclosed mostly in the primary hull, as opposed to most other carrots ships, which have their engines mounted away from the hull.

Hey cool, the ships look great. Are you going to add one shipset for each "race" in your mod ? I suppose that will be a LOT of work...

Sort of. For example I've designed two carrot ships - but they contain all the elements of the remaining ships - so it's just a matter of resizing the different components and adding a couple of custom details for each one.

Now, lots more to follow.
