Yes, this final version looks perfect, I love it!

It reminds me to a frigate of Homeworld 1, which has some kind of "rhino-horn"-front, which looked quite cool. And it also does look cool with your current version

Lookin great, keep up the good work.

Time for bed i'm becoming to agreeable for my own good

I was never a fan of the split design, but I'm pretty sure it must be a split's dream

.

Also the size is good, split ships were always a bit smaller, and compared to boron capital ships they are tiny (maybe to make fun of the borons after such a "tiny" destroyer blew up one or more boron destroyers

).

Cycrow >
Hosting me stuff?
Thats the best news I've had this entire year, thanks an Island!

--------------------

About ships and races, yeah..we all like and hate some.
I myself am not that keen on the Borons but then again, that's mainly because of their Hydra which reminds me of some prehestoric-wale/anteater hybrid

Btw, this model is much more difficult then I'd anticipated...strange thing considering it looks so easy compared to the Argon one.

will the ki buy those M7s?

Galaxy613 · Post by **Galaxy613** » Tue, 3. Jan 06, 17:54

By "ki" you mean "AI"? I think all we need to do is copy the M6 patrol job line and make it a M7 patrol job and then it should work..

Small update, changed a lot of stuff which -ofcourse- is hardly visible.
I'm ok with the current Split model, they have the most uninspired capital ships anyway and judging by the number of texture errors in this version it will blend in nicely *grin*.

What's next?

-Paranid (M7)
-Teladi (M7)
-Earth (M someting)
-A Real Argon One
-Pirate corvette
-Explorer-Gatebuilder/repair ship

Cast your votes now plz!
Note : You may only cast a vote if you've said that the current Split M7 is very nice and that I should absolutely continue with someting else asap

Edit: oops, totally forgot about the Boron

I like that Split M7, it's like a dagger

bendyspex · Post by **bendyspex** » Tue, 3. Jan 06, 19:53

That split M7 looks good. I like the idea of having a real argon one. It would defintely make it a special ship, rather than just another capital ship. Also, a pirate corvette would be cool. Make it look really mean, maybe a hybrid of other corvettes, then it could cruise around between different pirate bases. I can't wait until the M7's are finished.
Good work

I vote for the Paranid M7. I like the paranid design very much, especially the M2! Ok, it looks a little bit like a UFO, but at least this is a very effective design (not as effective as a perfect sphere of course ^^).

I also think you should concentrate on the M7 only at the moment

. Keep up the GREAT work

Well i would say start releasing something

-XTM- · Post by **-XTM-** » Tue, 3. Jan 06, 21:42

I'll finish the M7 pack first yes.

Meanwhile... small update;
Terran M7 early development:

These all look great, and what a great idea!

Regarding the terran ship, will this be available to buy somewhere?

Dgn Master · Post by **Dgn Master** » Tue, 3. Jan 06, 23:25

I must say the Terran M7 looks incredable!
I'll cast my vote for the Paranid M7 for i also like their overall design.

Although the Explorer-Gatebuilder/repair ship sounds good, it will need a script/mod to make it have a purpose (hint, hint, scripters

)

scottyboy · Post by **scottyboy** » Tue, 3. Jan 06, 23:42

Hi im new to the whole x series oving the game,and the mod's were do you draw up and design these new model's i would love to have a go?, and when will i be able to get me hand's on an m7 ? very soon i hope

-XTM- · Post by **-XTM-** » Wed, 4. Jan 06, 00:02

Not right away.
Maybe the Terran M7 will be available as a freebee behind the most difficult to spot asteroid or someting. *edit, stupid id, never mind*.
It will be much more powerfull then the normal races m7's.
Expect more Terran stuff in a dedicated Terran-mod later on.

Although the Explorer-Gatebuilder/repair ship sounds good, it will need a script/mod to make it have a purpose (hint, hint, scripters )

I was thinking along the lines of just 1 or 2 ships, created when the Galaxy was at peace to be used by all Races.
They will be HUGE, unlike anything ingame atm, probably about the size of a Shipyard.
Functions/mod-use could be to connect sectors, broken gates, explore new sectors and meanwhile serve as a mobile station at the same time.
I'll leave this up to dedicated scripters when the time arrives.
The Explorer will be released as a seperate mod unless I can tackle some id's I've got swifter then expected atm.

Scottyboy > I don't design them upfront, I just go with the flow and see where that gets me. They are all done with 3d studio. The original models are ofcourse all ingame *duh...*

twistedtech · Post by **twistedtech** » Wed, 4. Jan 06, 01:26

Nice idea (M7), beautiful ships!

I don't suppose either you or Deadly would consider creating a couple of large Military HQs to support all those homeless military ships that wander homeless throughout the galaxy? Unfortunately, my modelling skills would produce a couple of primatives stuck together with X2 textures.

Kinda thinking of a certain fan project here in the forum that uses a "capture the trade station" approach to gain ownership of a sector. Capturing a special, reinforced military complex would add a new dimension to the idea.

At any rate, great work with the M7s and thank you for your efforts. You guys have given this game a great outlook.... that goes for the scripters too.

There are a few Military installations near enemy sectors. Especially Argon ones.

Hi Moxy,

just out of curiosity: Has Mehrunes yet agreed to let you insert his M6 mod into your work or to colaborate with this mod?

There was no post by him in the "M6 Upgrade" topic lately, so I was just wondering....

PS: Good night and sleep well

. I'll do the same very soon.
