[quote who="The Sisko" reply="2" id="3474276"] If the system is similar to GC2 there is no point in designing your own ground vehicles. Nor is there any real point if all you change is the visuals of ground vehicles. A ground unit designer has to have a meaningful impact in the combat.[/quote]I'd hope that they'd at least work more on the ground vehicles. I mean, the tanks were some of the ugliest thing.

Ok. We all now that the combat viewer for ground battles wasn't the best. Everyone had the same vehicles, turrets, and troops and nothing changed with tech except for a number. I think it may be a good idea to add at least some customization to ground unit. Maybe a basic ship designer styled thing. Nothing fancy just a couple of parts.

[quote who="Rand Johnson" reply="78" id="3473617"] I have been posting these ship screenshots on Facebook and have actually had people make requests to make certain ships. As a matter of fact some people on FB have actually gone and bought the Founders Elite Alpha after seeing what I've been able to reproduce while still testing the game. I hate to say it but I am having a blast with the Shipyard as you can see. I cant wait to see the revised Shipyard.[/quote]My I make a request for
I do, but I posted it 3 times.
[quote who="XavierMace" reply="7" id="3472371"] I've printed quite a few miniatures from Shapeways for a table gaming project, quality (with the right material selection) has been fantastic. Reduced 27%Original 2048 x 1536 For comparison, here's our prototypes done off a Makerbot (I think).

Sorry about the triple post. The internet was slow and I was a little annoyed at it.
[quote who="Rand Johnson" reply="74" id="3471893"] Here is another version of an ST Galaxy class I did. Reduced 42%Original 1280 x 1024 Steering away from Star Trek style ships here is is one off the top of my head. Think of US Navy meets BSG meets Babylon 5. Naval Aviation being one of my hobbies I wanted to make a ship that had resemblance to a modern US Navy Aircraft Carrier Reduced 42%Original 1280 x 1024 <br
I'd have to say the Battle of Endor, and the opening for A New Hope.
[quote who="Rand Johnson" reply="72" id="3470290"] I think I finally got a decent looking Star Trek style Sovereign Class Star Ship. It looks pretty good on the game map too. This took three days to get right. Comments welcome.

[quote who="Rand Johnson" reply="70" id="3470080"] You need to concentrate on researching. Unlock and research hull sizes to make bigger ships. Possibilities for making custom ships are endless and only limited by your imagination. Be BOLD and experiment with the shipyard. Try facing parts in different directions to make your ship stand out and look different from others.[/quote]Yeah. One thing I like to do with Terran ships is "attack nacells (I hope that's spelled right )." These
Cool starships!
Same as Achronous. That things awesome!
I could see this work if,lets say,Dregin give you combat bonuses,and the super spy race giving better spying.Also,if this were put in game,maybe a hybrid percentage.

[quote who="EleventhStar" reply="68" id="3466727"] Quoting DARCA1213, reply 1The problem is that every "humanoid" in the game and in reality is designed near perfectly for advanced functions. Then why do you eat and breathe trough the same hole!? this just means some percentage will choke to death. there is a whole slew of design flaws in evolved beings, due to the way evolution works. And that's before even addressing the fact that we can't in
I though it'd be fun to see If anyone would like a weekly or bi-weekly challenge,each one having a winner..So for the first challenge I when with something general,but I may do some movie and tv show challenges.I can wait to see what y'all come up with.

Take this: Reduced 93%Original 440 x 470 I must say that I like the Terran blocks best. Reduced 35%Original 1599 x 918[/quote]I think if you like angular designs you'll like Terran blocks and hulls (if there are any hulls.)
[quote who="Seilore" reply="36" id="3465741"] Quoting EvilMonk3y, reply 33 Congrats on the cube, it looks awesome. Borg Sphere next? okay I'm not thrilled with it but this is what I quickly put together.. Note the sphere is a colony ship Reduced 44%Original 1278 x 719 And next to the cubes Reduced 44%Original 1278 x 719[/quote]Where's the sphere?
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="14" id="3464962"] Quoting SF1 Raptor, reply 13Tell me I can make a carrier! You can (eventually). Carriers have been confirmed for months. Mormegil even talked about them in one of the live streams (either the first or the second).[/quote]Ok.Thanks.I haven't watched the live stream(limited internet).
