I jumped straight from the tiny Lasair to the Danu. It's the massive purple ship. Took about 2 days to make in solidworks. Might clean it up a bit but it's pretty much done. I like how it turned out.
Alcurean Paper Fleet
Another MAJOR UPDATE.

So your ships are being rendered with perspective now? It's not really a paper fleet any more then ^^ I guess its just the alcurean fleet now?

It's frustrating to make because the vision in my head sometimes goes beyond my ability to render it.. The more practice I get with the larger ships, the better it'll be when I start doing the smaller, more common ships. The Alcurean fleet is coming soon. I'll leave the paper name for now cause 27 out of 29 are still flat.
The danu is now uploaded to Xelerus. It appears very late game and has pretty high end weaponry and ridiculous amounts of armor. It's a mothership after all.. Killing it might be worth it for the fuel though. Comes packed with 20d40 HV fuel.
Kinda. I originally intended them to be purely neutral but now I'm leaning more towards a xenophobe type race.. They have knowledge worth guarding, if I put it in a different way.
edit: Going back through it, I found an 'error'. The appearance for the stations is:
----- ccccc etc.
This is not final. I think it was supposed to be
----- --vuc etc.
Sorry bout that.

You should be able to reupload the fixed mod on xelerus. (the small buttons to the top right of the xelerus interface when you are logged in)Psycholis wrote:Going back through it, I found an 'error'.

they use "&vtthermoexplosion4" I presume? rather fitting by size... The station could do with thermo#2 alternatively. Nice to see you got the jpg to compress nicely!Psycholis wrote:Reuploaded now. Ship is physically smaller. Base is redesigned. Images have less wasted space. In-game the ship and station both explode violently, similiar to the Ares shipyard death.

6th page, 11 year bump. I've decided to start working on this again to get it up to the current version. Not sure how far I will take it. Here's the update so far:
Small and medium ships upped to 40 rotations.
Larger ships upped to 60 rotations.
All code rewritten for the latest versions.
All kinds of weapons, armors and shields which are 'color' specific.
Some basic stations with graphics from dvlenk and ringer inspired code.
Things I'd like to do eventually:
3d all the things. As of today, 6 of the 29 ships are 3d. Who knows maybe by 2030, this will be done lol.
An actual adventure for all of this to fit into. This seems less daunting than the 3d modeling task so we'll see.
Even more custom graphics for almost everything, this is a brand new alien species after all.
Hope to have the files available before the year ends but who knows. What's another month compared to 11 years?
