A full schematic of the cross section, planometric, isometric and the other one with full specs and upgrades would not only be useful, but also incredibly decent looking. :o

Think of it as instruction booklet two. Harking back to Elite, it's instruction book had these kind of specs I think. :?

It would show another advantage of ships and another reason to buy them..... their cross section. :)

By that I mean a Split Tl would take less fire in a firefight than a Teladi Tl as one is sleek and slender, and the other a bullet magnet. This is how i've nearly survived an M1 battle with my TL, by dodging fire.....

thank you... and Goodnight. :roll:

Argon Titan donated by Arwan and added.

The Boron ships are apparently quite big. When taking the photos, the Boron would fill the screen at 1.6km. Most the other would fill at 900-1000meters.

Boron always got picked on for living in a pineapple under the sea. But now their ships just look like big fish, not much better.

Anyways, Argon Buster added, almost didn't make it, scaled down, it's just about 2 pixles!

Looks really cool

One question - whenever I look at this sort of thing it looks nice and big as its loading up and then at the last minute it scales down (or up?) to fit all on one page and I can't read any of the text.

Is there any way to keep the image at the original size (and accept that you'll need to scroll a bit) rather than auto fit to one page?

Cheers

First make sure that your cursor is not on the resized image. Then place the cursor over the image. After a couple of seconds you will see two clickable objects appear on the image, one ine the upper left corner and the other in the lower right corner. Click the one in the lower right corner. This will diplay the image in it's original size.

Great idea and great work! Nice to see the ships in relation to each other and so detailed (at least the biggies). I'm impressed with the ship designs in X3.

The Paranid ships looks very cool. I suspect they will be my choice when I get that far into the game.

my god how can the argon ships be better than the boron, especialy the carrier, argon can hold 60 where as the shark can only hold 45?!?.

Fantastic work!

Might I suggest something though, stop adding extra ships and think about exactly what you want to do. What you started off doing will probably not be what you finish off doing as you have more good ideas (and suggestions from others) along the way. Now you've experiemented a bit and found out what you can and can't do, have a bit of a think about the finished product you want. i t may be you need to do things a little differently and start getting the pic's again, or in a different way. Once you've decided what you want to do, you can go ahead and finish getting al the info.

To see what can be done, I would suggest taking a look at Jeff Russell's Starship Dimensions page.
