Very interesting, very bird like, i'd imagine a ship in space more like an aquatic animal with more design to 'float' and to mention it... if the cargo old opens at the rear... what are you entering through? totally joking there. :) Oh, the funny part of this was that my wife and I both thought it ...

8-) StarDrakeFirstRender.png And for some perspective... StarDrakePerspective.png This shot lets you see how the wings slope. Something like this would be ideal for the image shown during ship selection, I think. The model was built in Wings3D, as were the materials. The rendering was done in Kerkyt...

Heh. I just installed Wings3D. :D Much more intuitive than Blender, and just as capable. I'll have to learn my way around it, but I'd be willing to bet right now that I can do everything I need to in it. yeah, you can install kerkytea or POVray and render directly from 3dWings, but I think that mak...

Heh, the sketches are still better than the sword ship. So what sort of textures would you be looking at trying to use? I don't even know what software to try to render this thing in, much less what textures to work with. :? I need to review all the modding guides we have on the forum... Also, do y...

Here are a few "bare-bones" sketches of my vision of a StarDrake... :D Side and front views. The front view is deliberately uncolored. I was trying to convey relative wing size more than anything. I meant for the side view to show a long tail, but it shouldn't be that thin relative to the rest of th...

Do you plan on including the ability to grow via the ship-changing abilities? What degrees of specialization would the player be able to do? I definitely plan on including the ability to grow. That's what makes the hull growth concept possible. If by "specialization" you mean differing growth paths...

Star Dragon eh? Pretty interesting idea, though it does sound a lot like Farscape redux, I cannot say that is a bad thing but then you start getting weird blue people and a ship on an ocean and big explosions. If anyone does not know what I'm talking about you, you have totally missed the end of Fa...

got any concept art?

Not yet. This is all an idea that grew in my head since I started playing with your Wyvera mod. I've got a vague notion of what I'd like for it to look like, which if I can sketch it out, I'll put a copy up here.

This sounds freaking cool. 8-) I haven't tried Wyvera mod yet, but this sounds AWESOME. And scary too. Like something out of Alien or any of those horror-deep space-type things. :D Thanks! I hope it lives up to expectations by the time I'm done with it. This is still just an idea in my head. Heh, I...

With the inspiration of Wolfy's Wyvera mod, I've come up with an idea for a playership that I think would be really cool and reasonably doable. I call it the Stardrake, but I'm open to other name ideas. It would essentially be a living organic ship like the Wyvera. Features: Ship Management: The Sta...

Yes I do ^^ Actually I plan on working on the wyvera ships some more soon. With the ability to change ships, This will make is considerably more advanced, being able to choose to grow along a path that you choose; there are likely going to be a lot of ship variations & paths available in the final ...

Just pulled this down from Xelerus. It's a brilliant concept, and I'd like to thank you for putting it out there. :D I've read that you don't have this finished to the level that you'd like (ability to actually grow from the smaller ship to the larger, etc). I know you've got tons of Transcendence p...

I'm very much looking forward to seeing 1.04 released. Any thoughts on when it might show up?

So basically what I'm hearing is: Ditch the TeV9 for some sort of heavier ion weapon Upgrade to a higher level of carapace armor (I've seen quadrocarbide armor, is there quadrocarbide carapace? That looked pretty sweet against ion damage, as I recall) Replace the tritium cannon with a higher level o...
