The shape of the ship reminds me a bit of this ship and I know your quite familiar with Homeworld 2 IskatuMesk, I remember you really well from the relic's tanis shipyards forum

kind of reminds me of a concept drawing i saw once

i cant find the concept ship though sad really liked the concept...... although your ship did a very good job making the ship

Well, their exact wording is this,

I take that they are going to be making it 64-bit or handling the memory in a way that will cause issues regarding it to evaporate.

I mean, they could just do almost nothing, but I doubt they would say "new memory model" without planning something very significant.

In the meantime, the Kraken is now in-game and awaits its sounds and stats.

Honestly, the current limit shouldn't even be a problem. If you're running into problems because your ingame model has more than 50 000 polygons, the best thing is to redesign it, because its just too heavy for this type of game. It would be considered heavy even for the A list engines out there, unless we're talking about a centerpiece model.

If you don't know how to do stuff, well, learn. That's where the real fun in computer graphics and game design is, learning and trying out new stuff.

On that note, a little off topic but still Sins related as its the centerpiece of the cinematic intro I am making for my mod:

When I started this two days ago I knew nothing about making realistic planets. And the best part about the whole thing, aside from the finished render, was learning how to do it.

I agree, very nice. Something to be said when it is your creation. I wish I could do that, just have to make do using the galaxy editor on X3...

@Dante

I forgot that it was you who posted the link for this ship. I do believe regardless of TEC, Vasari or Advent were to see this coming will be dropping bricks.

And I found this one and thought this was bad ass. Here's the link to the site

iskatu are you making a mod for sins or just making the ships for fun

not that i mind seeing them they are epic

edit: in the next couple of days i am going to be posting another pirate ship after i finish it and get the ship i just finished firing on the right side

Greetings from the X-universe, though this isn't SINS related I thought I'd share a model I made from X3 Terran Conflict.

Now I just made the model, another guy who's using the model in his mod skinned this baby and I must say it looks fantastic, and yes for those who recognize it... that's some new purple death done for the Kha'ak race.

Cool Zombie, if you get the chance check out Cadius's shippack, that's the mod it's in. On the forum there I'm known as Requiemfang

I am reviving my project under the title of "Visualization". I ultimately expect it to hit sins' limits long before it is finished.

Some things I've done to improve performance;

- Reduction of fighter #

- Removal of mines

- Very strict usage of missile-type weapons

One thing I'll be doing is setting all vanilla textures to 0kb placeholders. This will drop the ram usage and let me import a large number of custom textures for particle effects, since each race is only using 2 maximum texture sets for all of their ships combined (they're not skinned at all ofc). Now, music I'm not sure about. Does the game load the soundtrack into memory? That seems a bit unnecessary and unlikely. I'd like to give each race about 40 tracks unique to them. Of course, there's custom sounds for everything with 3-5 variations a piece, and all of the custom voice acting. All of this stuff is super super easy to make and perfect, but I'm concerned about entry limits and the ram usage.

Assuming I get that far, I have around 6-7 races to create + the replacement for Pirates. Each unit will have custom sound sets. I'll be able to do around 50-60% of the voices myself, and have other actors I can contact and a few communities I can contact if this project ever reached that stage of completion.

My greatest concern at this time is the hardcoded entry limits for SFX and music, and if they account to the ram limit or not. If they do account for the ram limit, the music will wait for the new patch to be added. If they don't, then I'll have to wait for the new patch to hopefully massively raise all of those entry limits.

I personally feel no project is complete without custom sounds and unit responses. None of sins' default SFX or music will remain very soon.

I have begun work on what will become my most difficult model to complete yet, I am sure. Admiral Askaramaan's flagship variant of the Bloodstone Champion.

Where it will go from here is anyone's guess, but I want the rear to resemble the Longbow's in some way, and the ship won't have a large frontal cannon like many Anahn capitals do. It will, however, have several torpedo launchers for a special ability.

would someone explain this please i have the ship set up so it will fire from the right where all the guns and stuff are at and the damage is correct almost double on the right side but it wants to turn left???

here is said ship

Progression;
