Shipset Request (Please be Generous)

E3 · #1 August 10th, 2003, 05:59 AM

Ok first ever post to this board for me.
Many of you know me, know of me, or might have had me run into you at one time or another.

I need a favor from a kind and generous person.

I need a shipset. Well two. But they will be the same ships just re-coloured.

They are for the Ilmen'telkontar (Elves) and the Ilythiiri (Dark Elves), that I role play on another message board.

Both designs will be sleek, small, and fast.

I already have a concept picture, taken from a Babylon 5 shipset.

If you are a kind generous soul, and would like to help, message me. AIM or ICQ would be better than on here.... not sure how long till I poke my head back in here..... too lazy am I.

Well more like too busy developing every aspect of two radicly different societies who happen to be at war with each other.

Welcome to the Boards. Where might we know you from friend?

Have you considered looking at any of the 240 + ship sets that already exsit?

There has to be one that will fit your needs.

You can also check out a few shipyard sites as most display their ships.

Post your images (128 x 128) to give people an idea of what it is your looking for.

I'm at work right now, so I cant post my concept graphics.
I have looked through MANY of the shipsets, and while many are beautiful and useable, I want something that has 2 sets to it.
I need the "light" Version for the Ilmen'telkontar (elves), and the "dark" Version for the Ilythiiri (dark elves)
As I said, the ships are sleek and fast and smallish. And they must look similar, except for color.
In looking through the shipsets, I've found sets that would work for one or the other, but nothing united for them.
I recently had to reinstall my computer, so I lost ALL my sets, and will begin looking again.

I know I can look at the se4 links topic, but can someone just recommend a few ship yard sites to check out here?
I know John Beech's old site doesnt have much on it... despite being a gorgeous site.
And Fyron's SE.net doesnt have previews (as I complained to him about in IRC)

I might be known from SE.org before it went down...
Used to play on PBW and tried to get onto the Ladder, but was rejected due to my friendship with someone the owner didnt like at the time.
Both of these were before I moved and lost internet access.
I'm currently active on Legacies though.
Occasionaly visit Fyron's #Se4, often using the name Firon or E3.

Try this site, which has links to almost every known ship set.

If you find a shipset that fits how your elven ships are supposed to look, it should be relatively easy to re-color it to be the other Version. Maybe even both light and dark Versions can be re-colored.

Yes, it is not at all difficult to shift colour gamma. Chose the shipset best for shapes. If you don't have picture editor (like photoshop) contact shipset creator and kindly ask for differently colored Version. Or ask here, there would be people to help

Well a downloaded literaly a tone of shipsets from all over.

And considering I just had to reformat my harddrive, I dont even have SE4 itself installed.

Mind you, I dont have a system that can run SE4 properly.
I can load the game, get into it, design ships. But the second I try and process a turn, it dies due to lack of memory.

So I can see what the shipsets look like.... but I dont think there is anything that stands out to me just yet.

But thanks for the many many races to play against as soon as I get more ram.

Maybe I will find something usefull in these. I hope
