Ancient: A Plant Theme Race

[123stw]

any chance you could make a Royal Strelitzia cruiser? :-D

Lol maybe, depends on rather I can get my hands on some Strelitzia images that are also easy to work with.

Anyway here's a new cruiser. With at least 1 of each type of ship I can call it a new race. Now I have to do the damaged hulls for these ships.

images in general are fairly easy to find, i`d have to know which ones "exactly" you need

if you google for "strelizia" or "royal strelizia" under images category you`ll end up with tons of images to look at,might even find some suitable ones to work with....
i believe that the strelizia bloom might be used to create wings of the cruiser with ease,just an idea tho

its a fairly popular plant so you shouldnt have too much difficulty

[123stw]

Yeah I google for all my images. Images are good if it doesn't have any part of it cut off. Stuff with solid black background are the easiest to work with. I will look out for it when I make my next cruiser.

In the meantime, here's venus fighter.

Here's the strelitzia cruiser

[Thunderbird]

awesome :-D
it looks really alien-like and evil, just the way i like my ships

*gives 123 a big, round chocolate chip cookie*

Astonishing. "Vague potential" to "foundations of a frightening mod-race" in just 18 posts. :D I'm surprised at just how **sinister** these plant-ships appear. Please continue!

[Lonestar]

Wow nice indeead mate this is looking great. They do look realy crapy in that alien type sence. i wonder what Cliffski thinks about them.

[123stw]

2 new weapons. Shield color also changed to purple.

[Thunderbird]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool :-D
awesome stuff man, keep up the good work
and i really love the beam

P.S.: yes,i am indeed drunk

New Cruiser. I am thinking about replacing my previous melon cruiser with this.

[Thunderbird]

its way cooler than the melon one,but keep it in too,no reason to remove a perfectly good vegetable...

[SirJamon]

Really cool designs you've made there 123stw. I will be looking forward to the finished mod.

Have you thought of creating new sprites for their turrets?

[123stw]

I might get to it eventually, but have a lot of things I wanted to do first (such as another frigate hull). Alliance turrets will have to do for the time being.

[Thunderbird]

alliance turret sprites look organic enough as far as im concerned....
btw could you make a poison/acid spitter weapon when you get to it? :-)
something with the appropriate "spit" sound,just for the lol-factor

[123stw]

I suppose poison can be done through the radiation effect. It will probably have low shield penetration but high armor penetration (you can't melt shields after all). The graphic will be a problem though, since missile/beams/plasma doesn't look particularly poisonous, and I don't know how to make a new weapon type. Maybe SIM_BulletWeaponModules might work.

In the meantime, here's a new frigate anti air weapon.
