Has anyone created new ships

from Sins Forums

Hiya. I've been on these forums only for a short while, snatching bits of modding info. Thanks for all your help given silently.

Now, I am interested in better/cooler ships for Sins and was wondering if someone already went through the trouble of creating ships that were original and not based on movies, or shows. Of course 'cool' is a relative term, but personally, I think the ships of EVE are 'cool'. However, I would like to look at any ships that are original in design.

Secondly, does anyone know what sort of polycount we are looking at with the existing ships and structures in Sins, and how important it is to stick closely to those counts?

 

Thanks all, I hope you are too busy having fun to reply to this :) (and if it's already been asked, I apologize - I'm still getting used to this forums search function).

Or video games, or books right? Well, this guy tried to do that, but he was quite ambitious and the poly count limit was too low for most of his ships.

Here's three ships I have created for a mod that should hopfully be completed within the next month. I am currently re-texturing, so they the last 1 will look a bit better (hopefully), when it is completed.

The mod will be for Doplomacy and will add a new capital ship with a couple of new abilities to each race, accessable through diplomatic research.

I agree with the EVE idea, i have never played it but the ships look amazing.

I also thought about making stuff based on the Saga of Seven Suns by Kevin J Anderson, but I didn't want to design the ships and ruin the imagination.

Also I'm very new to this and it probably wouldn't come out to well...:P

Yes EVE ships are awsome to look at... though being in a Frigate compared to a Battleship you realize how small you are and how easy that BS can kill you lol... I'm a former EVE player, the game play is okay... but it's a but slow compared to the more fast paced mmorpgs out there
