Description
Some screenshots between myself, Mindwipe, Technophobeus and Killallewoks
WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO? AGH I NEED TO PLAY IT NOW!
SOOOON...ish.
sorry but we are working on it. sadly we might found a hitch in are new captial ship abilites causing minidumps. so we have to fix that and still finish the other 2 sides AND tech tree. Max and Mindwipe are doing the scripting and textureing themselves. i can make maps and beta test. We could release just the fed and klingons but none of us want that our first release will have 4 fully functioning sides. I believe it will be worth the wait.
All fixed :) (turns out it wasn't the ship ability, which is good, because it's a great ability, hopefully we'll get a little news piece on them at some point).
please.....stop torturing us......with your screenshots.....
Is it just me or are the lights on the SB a bit... weird?
I mean the windows mainly, the textures look stretched/blurry in places (like under the "mushroom cap" part. Wow, I'm gonna call this the nuclear starbase from now on), and there seem to be windows in strange places like the cones on top of the mushroom cap (in the reference pictures I found they look more like sensor/communication arrays, so the windows make them look odd) or those cylinders underneath the ring in the middle on this picture (what are those supposed to be? maybe make the lights a different color/pattern and call them gravity generators).
If you want to exert the energy on something the average gamer won't see 99.9% of his gametime that is ;).
Pretty sure there's lights up there.

Yes, positioning lights on top like most current installations have so aircraft don't collide with them.
But if you look on the other pics where you see the current antennae you see windows on them, which looks weird to me.
Update: Okay I have found a picture that gives me a better perspective and it seems there is a mix of communication arrays and "administrative skyscrapers" on top the starbase. I would still suggest to remove the windows on some of the cones and add some structure to the windows on the leftover ones (no engineer would just randomely place them around the structure ;P).
I can see why you'd say that, but I don't think at this stage Max is looking to change any of the federation or klingon ships or structures as they're all fully implemented I'm afraid. Hopefully you can overlook it :)
As I said, a job for you if you want to as 99% of the time I will be in icon view anyways :p. However looking at the nicely textured ship models bringing the SB textures (and any other structure that could use it) up to par might be something for you to do in a later patch at some point ;).
Feel free to create some updated textures and we'll be happy to include them.
You can do textures right?
i agree submit your textures to Max and we will have a looksee..Additionally though Mc_Intire.... you aint played the mod yet and a screen shot really doesnt convey the grandure of the game even in its current build. the purpose of the visual demonstrations is to show case and tease. please keep in mind that the mod is far from finished. it will be visually nice accurate and balanced fro gameplay.. but dont please impose on us as it be "A MUST DO!" senario. thats simply trolling and not aprieciated... everyone here is enthused and giveing great positive feedback and if something doesnt meet their aprooval they generally keep it to them selves. or at least voice it in a better way.. keep it in mind for next time.
What the ****? I thought you guys also want some constructive criticism on your work, which I tried to give and at no point I imposed a "must do" on anything. I said in my initial post that you could do it if you deemed it important enough, and repeated this in my following post which should actually make it obivous that it was a suggestion and no order (which I couldn't give anyways).
I just pointed out that your ship textures look better than this SB texture. If it doesn't represent your current work that is alright, but I do not have this information.
If I look at screenshots I do try to give find problems with it rather than just posting "oh nice", since in my opinion it helps you better with your work if someone states that something might be off than just praising you into the high heavens. Of course if all you want is praise you can tell me this now, then I will simply stop posting until you actually want criticism.
Ummmm ... if you miss that thing coming at you ...
Klingons attacking Federation?
Me he he, just kidding, it is absolutely normal
Q'uapla!
