Ares don't have shared parts so they're mostly a matter of getting the armor texture right I think.

:wink:
hehe, lol, you don't actually have to do the ares carrier. Though if you want, I was thinking of a massive (larger than a CSC, so somewhere between 256x256 and 300x300 (iocrym command ship is 300x300)) radially arranged carrier (like the CSC), but circular, and the inner area containing a structure similar to that of the ares shipyards, since their carrier would also double as a cloning facility AND a gunship factory in addition to the usual carrier duties.
It would use at the very minimum, Massive Tharsis (or perhapse a heavier variant and/or some form of armorshield shield or an armor regeneration device) and would have probably positron cannons as its weapons.

Hehe... well actually the above design is undergoing extensive revision... so I'm not sure what will turn up in the end...

some variations in stations are probably needed, like the commonwealth colony graphics, that is used by many stationtypes in the game.

Modders, please remember that there are some graphics that are not used, and some that have been discarded by George, and we can eventually re-use for some mods.
