By Clay









By VileRancour




By Censored






And as a bonus, here's my screen mockup:

You'll notice the Druuge is missing...that's intentional. ;p

I must say, they all look incredible, even the Melnorme is quite stunning.

Awesome work all round, cant wait to see how the Kzer-Za vessels turn out.

I'll definitely second that comment; this is great-looking stuff! I particularily like the sleekness of the Chmmr and VUX ships.  Cheesy

I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

They are pretty awesome, I hope they will make it into the game!

I like Censored's Trader better, but I think, if I knew Clay's one first, and then saw Censored's., I propably would find the one made by Clay better.


The only ship which does not quite fit my expectations is the Kohr-Ah... I always imagined it less smooth... As if the surface has to be much more like the ships of the Borg in Star Trek. With lots of small appendages and even holes in it...

Perhaps it was just my interpretation of the pixel-effect Wink

Actually i envisioned the Kohr-Ah to have a "jagged edge" look with dark red alien writing similar to the klingon all over the ship

I was unfortunately completely unaware of the "alien writings carved into the hull" bit of lore when I reinterpreted the Kohr-ah ship.  I was more interested at the time in their fascination with bones, and thus tried to give it a very organic/bony structure.

Some folks seem to like it though.  If any were to be redone, I'd hope people would try some of my much weaker pieces instead...like the new Melnorme ^_^;

But yay, a vote for the CHMMR...when I first posted it, I wasn't happy...but it's now my favorite...along with the Kohr-Ah you don't like.  *laughs*

it's not that i don't like it, it's a good render but it doesn't look like what i thought it would...

i like it, in fact i was gonna make a spinning gif image for my avatar but i can't seem to get it to spin the right way (slowly counter-clockwise) without blurring... i'm not big on graphics editing/creation/animating

These are sweet!  Any way I can use them in the game, or is that still work in progress?

Me neither, but this is what I got with the simple rotate function from Gimp:



I appropriately named it drunkpilot.gif...

In fact the rotation should be applied FIRST, before the Lighting...
