I do a bit of graphics work myself, so I've always thought it would be cool to do a TRANS fansite. At the moment, though, I would have no idea what to do with it.

So, what would you like to see on a fansite?

If you start something like that, I have game compatible graphics (ships, stations, and planets, mostly) that I would contribute.

That'd be a cool way to start - but what else?

-High Score lists for each starting ship, maybe a 'modded ship' section too.
-Archive of "Great moments in..." for sceenshots and/or descriptions of interesting game situations.
-Web page background images, buttons, etc.
-Links to graphic and xml editting tools on the web for designers.

That is all I can think of right now.

EDIT - Pictures of ships and stations from the game. I can't think of anywhere that really shows off the game's graphics too much. Could have some descriptions or just be labelled.

The problem with making another site for mods is that there is already one. I have no problem doing it, but it would be a bit redundant at times.

no one suggested another mod site. the closest was
High Score lists for each starting ship, maybe a 'modded ship' section too.
which means a high score list for modded ships methinks

So I opened up Photoshop, meddled for an hour, and was rather satisfied. Before I sliced and whatnot, I decided to check out the other two sites that I know of (Transcendence Blog and the Mod site), and decided that mine looked exactly the same. So this time, I think I'm going to create a site for a different purpose - mods that allow for new missions, and rewards for completing them (in exchange for something that is said by the captain / whatnot after the mission is completed).

I have a subdomain with 500 MB space that I was going to use for a graphics archive. If you want to put anything that you have there, I could create an FTP account for you.

There are no host/sponsor ads, 2 MB file size limit, 5GB transfer/month.

I'm going to start putting more graphics up anyway, so maybe we could combine all of our work (and anybody else that wants to put in).

I have my own domain/hosting, I was actually going to offer you the same :P

I have pretty much unlimited bandwidth (considering the traffic possible versus my limit, there's no comparison) to take into account, so don't be afraid to ask if you need anything.
