Hows it comming havent herd anthing thing in a while, I hope thats good news.

Unfortunately will not be completely new ships with new bodies, because we are not so clever in moding yet, we use only standard game bodies, because in standard bodies are very easy to change the sizes and textures, but it does not make our mod less interesting than others mods.

I'd mostly agree with that comment. Just make sure that you're fair in how you change the configuration. And... I think it would be kool if we could design ships within x2 rather than outside of it. Is that possible?

You thought if enough standard game bodies parts to creating all new ships ?, in game are quite enough bodies parts. We use all possible standard game bodies parts to creating new ship designs to looks unique different from original game ships design, as possible.
We are almost finished creating small ships (m5-m3, ts ...), because not much unique, different design variations are left. Next we will start creating big ships (M0, M1, M2, TL, M6).

[Lord Dakier]

The best ships to be named M0 that I have seen are either the Sovereign or the Boron Royale.

[Zeron-mk7]

I think that M0 class ship must be biggest ship in the Universe and of course with strongest weapon power.

[Lord Dakier]

Me personally I favour the M0 being a one shot killer. I know someone in the German forum was doing something like this for TC I think it was. Judging from the picture they was in the middle of creating a one hit killer.

We had some troubles with our super-large models and we had to short them down, because X2 doesn't support ships at a specific size. If they are too big the Ki can't handle them anymore! Dont make them too big

[Lord Dakier]

The size of two titans should do really. Nothing to huge. I know the Boron Royale is huge and that managed to work. Try and work it around that size.

Updated: 04.05.2009
We created more 13 ships, look at new ships screenshots.
A few ships was modified because we found some bugs-errors for ships length, we shorten few ships and bugs-errors was fixed.

[Lord Dakier]

I like the newer ships much more than the previous ones. Your skills are growing my friend.

[dathion]

Love the work cant wait to fly them. one question with those larger TS models how hard is it to dock at stations?

[Lord Dakier]

Yeah I wondered that myself lol.

[Zeron-mk7]

one question with those larger TS models how hard is it to dock at stations?

I found problems with ships length (only small ships M5-M3, TS, TP), if ship are too long and you dock in the station, first ship does't move (speed on max but ship don't move), then wen you press Esc button and you are in the station menu, ships front was inside the inner station dock part. Inner station dock part are 00874 body, all ships who has docked inside the station stay in the center of part 00874, when you creating ships you must check ships lenght.
Easy way to do this open ships scene in 3Dmax and open dock part 00874, then you see if ships are too long or not.

What I meant was a couple of the TS picks I saw they look as big as M6 ship verry tall and wide. how do you get through the front door?

[Shadow dream]

I'll guess he has resized the bodies there are several ships where you can see that the bodies have been resized

Those ships who looks like Standart M6 class ships only with cargo box they are M6 ships, if interested we can also creating the same ships only smaller TS class ships, write ships screenshots numbers and we try to creating them.

[dathion]

these were the numbers that came up by hovering over the pictures

65161639-not sure what race

29146095-Parinid

35618711-Teladi

16108905-Argon

those would be cool TS class ships.

[Zeron-mk7]

65161639-not sure what race

It is Telady race.
Ok i try to creat these ships.
Maybe someone else are ideas for smaller ships new designs, because we have not much left of new designs ideas for smaller ships.

[Lord Dakier]

I always liked the idea of the Split Mamba wings but with more added to the ship like in somekind of star shape. Then maybe calling it the Split Poison or Black Mamba

I like the idea of an updated Nova being called theSuperNova however, Harlock has already claimed the name lol.

And maybe a Argon Buster with another turret on the otherside then calling it the Mega Buster

And maybe bring back the old Xenon M0 also, known as the Xenon O

[Shadow dream]

hm.. the small ships are the most difficult ones to make
but if you need a cap I have one for you
