Well, that would be me and a handful of internet tutorials. It's all about experimenting. Oh, and a big thanks to Mask for texturing help ... not that you see them here though Name? No, no name yet. Feel free to use it and come up with a name though @taco: I think that was meant for the randomness thread

I'll agree with you there SOCL. I was more aiming toward the people who must find every little mistake and pick apart a movie. Some are just fun It's when you become obsessed with the mistakes and forget that it's a movie and not a blooper real

Very nice J! Watching some of Def's design work in this thread got me wanting to do some of my own ... but I usually get bored after drawing them on paper. Nevertheless, I mentioned one of these things (minus a real name) in an RP I'm doing with Tofu, so might as well make the visuals for it. It's basically a New Republic (NJO time frame) equivalent of the Clone wars infantry transport thing. There's meant to be 3: a small, medium and large - this is the medium. It has a pair of forward facing ball turrets with ... lasers. Another pair with anti infantry lasers. A third of the big ball turrets to guard it's rear. A pair of missile launchers (a snub nose design of the originals) and two more ball turrets with *looks at wookiepedia* composite beam lasers (I might change that to proton beam). The ship focuses on getting it's cargo to the battlefield intact, with significant armour and shielding. The ship is also battlefield optimised, capable of folding in its wings for storage and then re-deploying them for space flight. Once in an atmosphere the ship can the deploy additional repulsors for greater manoeuvrability. It comes equipped with a class 3 hyperdrive. Fully deployed for atmosphere combat drop: http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6016/gunshipmdeployed01yh2.th.jpghttp://img478.imageshack.us/img478/3742/gunshipmdeployed02qs5.th.jpghttp://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7443/gunshipmdeployed03js3.th.jpg http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7008/gunshipmdeployed04ee0.th.jpghttp://img387.imageshack.us/img387/8206/gunshipmdeployed05rp5.th.jpghttp://img478.imageshack.us/img478/1684/gunshipmdeployed06vx0.th.jpg Space Flight: http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/9316/gunshipmspace01pm0.th.jpghttp://img387.imageshack.us/img387/5702/gunshipmspace02ed1.th.jpg Storage: http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/4678/gunshipmstorage01wm3.th.jpg

I wouldn't bother. How many of those were, as Evaders put it, nitpicking. Most were due to a limited budget during the original filming of the movies. If you focus on the little faults, you'll end up ruining parts of the movie - and that's really all movies. My two cents

I'll take my 7 series as a sedan thanks

*scratches head* I'll second that. Where, when etc. was it in the movie?

Got any examples? I'm currently reworking the idea ... making it smaller and trying to make a better looking 9 dot. Oh, and I should have written this last time - credit of the New Republic logo to LLF

Great minds think a like For others, use Bud's YouTube link. YouTube's better than my source ------- Some random awesomeness from Camo Spec. Camo Spec paint minutures ... really well These are from Battletech .. actually, all on that site are battletech.

A mixture of Mad's idea and SOCL's 9 dot. http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8748/rankjx9.gif Hmm, current idea I'm playing with ... but too big. I'll scale it down. I'd also like to make 'ol 9 dots look better

Well, the first generation of textures will be rather sucky - that's for sure. The second gen will be if I get around to it

I've heard good things, though never played myself. As for the nausea, it's a known problem with several games. Half Life 2 comes with a disclaimer in the box regaurding it. I sometimes get it myself, very mind bogiling. The last time I palyed Dark Force 1, after 10 - 20 minutes I felt sick. I also get it sometiems with other games when I'm tired as hell and someone else is playing. It's sort of like being thrown off balance and out of whack.

Weeeeee EDIT: Bloody great!* Need speakers and sound ... not rude, but might not be good for work

Feel free to join Ulic, I've ended my current stink of being lost on planet which will fit nicely into introducing another character. I was planning a raid, where I could meet up with you in some way. Then again, if you're not into the whole NJO and Yuuzhan Vong thing, start up another RP ... I'll probably move into that too It's been a while since writting up stuff, and it keeps the mind going

ooc: Well, I was planning on being more of a galactic marine - where I'd get thrown around the galaxy more. Showing off more of what gets blown up and stuff - where the novels dealt with a handful of planets during the NJO they constantly talked about a wide spread war, so I'm planning on showing off some more never heard of worlds battling it out (a bit like the Clone Wars I guess). This will give a bit more of a difference between our marooned characters. Also, it gives Ulic an opportunity to throw his character in now seeing as my character has currently resolved his situation ... currently. Next planet I might run into Ulic if he wants. I'm planning on being part of a little planetary raid.

OOC: This was meant to be short IC: The dagger shaped warship lunged into the enemy lines head first, the way the ship was designed. With no true front section, a Star Destroyer could bring almost twice the firepower of the ship’s broadside to bear in front of it - making a straight forward attack blissfully painful for their opponents. “Enemy status?â€

Ugh. I didn't care for Balance Point, though unfortunately it has a semi-paramount point in it that winds up defining the end of the series, so you have to read it anyway. With all due respect, Tofu, what the hell are you talking about? It's a stand-alone novel... He's referring to the NJO series and the Yuuzhan Vong war. I've got it, read it. It's not too bad of a book, even though I've heard otherwise. Can't say it was a favourite of mine.

Not mine

Crap Ah, I remember two of mine ... I've got one of the original pics so I'll try to remake it http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4695/poster98405684hc1.th.jpg

Welcome Hamster Enjoy the forums, and be sure to pop your head into as many forum threads as you want

@Mad: I'm liking the direction - but I just came up with a concern, won't I have to keep my rank image at something similar to everyone else? So it doesn't throw tabling out or make my post rather long for on reason? Nevertheless, I'm liking. Maybe Thanks Mitth Speaking of which ... <- post count

Bugger, bad luck mate! We can wait, real life is more important than an awesome story
