Heh, thanks!
Not sure how easy coordinating work will be now, especially considering that you are getting wifi... at a parking lot >.> So I'm assuming your connectivity to the internet is going to be rather intermittenet.
Anyways, some of your work has been transfered over to the new modularization system, but a good deal of it is new as well, especially considering that I've been rewriting a lot of things.

Taking a few months of likely somewhat lowered productivity... I have a few other projects that require more detailed ships... I'll likely include them in TSB, though they will take much, much longer to create than the average TSB ship.

:D
Can't wait to start on this ship!
I have to make textures for it...

With enough effort, this ship will come out awesome...

In the meantime, have a cute, fat little puffball.

Going to hopefully putting up a 1.04/1.05-compatible version soon, hopefully on new-year's, or on my birthday, if I can't make it by the first day (which is just over a week later, on the 9th)

anyways, it will include most of the factions I have in with stations, with encounters set up, as well as added content to additional factions, as well as new items and whatnot, however none of it has really been balanced yet, nor have proper events, missions, dockscreens and the like been programmed in for the friendly factions.

The collective will also not be appearing till certain AI improvements (on George's part), and certain bugs in their scripting (on my part), are made, as they would be broken otherwise. They are also currently missing the scripting for the mini story arc that activates them.

Ok... seems that a bunch of new, small bugs have cropped up due to various implementations of balance and whatnot in 1.04, so I'm going to have to go back and fix those. This is going to take some time - considering 1.05 may be out really soon, and 1.04 itself is rather buggy, I think I might just call it a 1.05 release >.>

This picture shows off a new weapon graphic and a new ship, both of the domain.

Note that I am now using transparency, and also note that there is a bug in wreck transparency (it's also marked on the trac, so no need to make another ticket)

Domain drone: These are pretty much the Domain's analog to the Ares Sandstorm, or the Teraton fighter; cheap and easy to make, lying somewhere inbetween the two in terms of firepower and defense capabilities.
NOTE: I actually made this ship a while back; just never got around to uploading pics
ImageImageImageImage

Domain cruiser: These might not be the largest capital ships in the neighborhood; comparative in size to a deimos. However, the advanced technology of the Domain comes into play here, with the Gravatic hammer, a weapon capable of (sometimes) punching through shields (Dependent on shield level). The weapon is incredibly effective vs. the shields of most light ships, and few human capital ships have shields able to completely nullify the effects of the weapon. In its own right, it does a fair amount of damage, lagging behind by a level, though the high-level damage type does help a bit, its brought up to match the others through its shield-bypassing abilities.

I'm now getting scared to the Domain's ships... they seem too sinister to me XD

In that case, then I am not alone in thinking that I succeeded in making a lightish shade of purple rather threatening :lol: (their projectiles also have colors in that area of the spectrum, but generally a bit darker. Some are more reddish, some more bluish.)


Also, today I am going to be working on my birthday suprise mod as opposed to TSB ships.

:lol:
Yeah, the little white/grey one is an older ship, and I was having severe issues with making it more detailed due to lag.
I was going to redo them in a bit now that I have ways of circumventing the issues I originally had in making them.
Probably won't redo them till Feb though.

The large purple one is one I just made ^^

I've been working on new CI ships:
This is the new version of the coyote. Well, almost the new version. It's a WIP, and a bit out of date. Got a bit of minor work to do before its ready to be used as a sprite. (Or a finalized large picture like this size >.>)

Inded you show this on IRC, its quite nice, infact its amazing really. However I think it might be a little odd flying that big of a ship in Transcendence. :)
