Well, the Lexx is done. I guess this will be the most exotic vessel in our fleet ^^. I'm gonna make the LODs now. I still don't know what's coming next but I hope that the level problem can be solved as soon as possible.

Why don't you ask in the forums? We won't start "off-topic" discussions in this project thread.

Our rule for the toy design is to scale up the distinctive elements of the vessels. In that case it's the "weapon dish", the outer hull plates and the trench. Its hard to let a sphere look like a toy, when the original ship is a simple sphere as well. The bright light is a result of the post work in Photoshop to get an interesting lighting of an night scene. In-game it looks less bright.

A new ship, the death star is finally complete.
The level, a kids room, is causing some trouble, so it will still take a while to show first shots but we are working on it. I use the time till some problems are fixed to complete the Lexx.

We are currently planning the level in order to show some real-time stuff. It's not that easy as expected. The next vessel is actually done but the rendering needs to be finalized. We intend to do high quality work so it might take a while to complete some assets.

I should also mention that we want to do 3d levels instead of simple skyboxes what means you can fly under the bed, around the ceiling lamp, through foliage and so on.

We are working on it whenever possible. DaBrain is going to finish a new ship pretty soon. Unfortunate circumstances didn't allow me to work on the LEXX the past few days.

You can fly your ship in "micro machine-like" environments like rooms and outer environments. For the release we will keep the count of different levels quite low (atm 2) because they are far more complex than an empty space scene filled with some asteroids only.
Planned is a child's room and an outdoor scene in a garden.

You don't need to buy the game because "Micro Space" is going to be a stand-alone mod which is based on the FS2 engine and contains all data to run independently. So everybody can play it without installing FreeSpace2.

Finally we finished another vessel. This time a fighter from the original series of Battlestar Galactica. One more ship should be done next week. The fifth one is also in progress.
Even when there are longer breaks without updates we can ensure we are working on this project. Updates can take a while because we want to show only "complete" meshes which work ingame.

Freespace 2 has everything we need and it's gonna be improved by professional programmers continuously. FS2 is also easy to handle and the most important fact: we can make this mod stand-alone. No Freespace 2 is required to play this mod.
Re the images they are renderings with the final game models. In-game they will look nearly exactly as you can see them on the renderings.
