All the links appear to be broken...

Ah well, this is only to be expected if one buggers off for several years xD

@apals, just add your new material by editing your posts in your old topic, that way they won't jump up the list. @jwa, can't be arsed to watch the film again just now to be sure, but I don't think it was the US at that point just after the war, weren't they the western alliance or something. Oh wel...

The HM stone ships are repetitive and lacking detail or depth. Mass may have some potential, but at the moment it is jumbled, and will need a fair bit of tweaking. Can't really comment on the bioships as I just don't like that section style. Keep at it! EDIT: Almost forgot, you might not be able to ...

Agree with LAG completely. Those Tyrian weps work better with shn than sw, you're probably better off using HM detailed or realistic with sw. Also Svn sw weps (if you can find them).

Well, if the website in question lets you download images without asking for a fee I doubt you'll get into trouble using said image as a backdrop. Fleet exercises over Jupiter anyone?

Yeah, saves much time, that. Don't forget you can save custom colours too, which saves you having to memorise rgb values etc.

Got bored and did some random(ish) surfing. The newscientist website is as interesting as ever, and for some truly spectacular images check out hubblesite.org

Not as far as I'm aware. If you're more comfortable drawing by hand than fiddling with a mouse and a paint program, go for it. Just remember to use the sprite naming conventions if you're going to upload your sprites.

TSA_GF seem to work well enough with shn, also Fraxy Sprites to a certain degree. I like the DST_ori as well, 'cos I'm a lazy git and they're already coloured.
EDIT: Also Tyrian weapons

That's rather my point. Why are they posted twice on the same page? Not that I mind looking at them twice, they seem quite decent efforts to me.

Here's a picture of a Cobra Mk 10 armed merchantman in action. The limited availability of these powerful little ships means only elite pilots need apply

Erm, these seem to be the same as the ships at the top of the page...

Naturally. Perhaps you could deliver it in the form of a diplomatic gift or something.

Mmkay, how about a high tech virus that impedes others ability to gather resources, or damages their tech level

How about a temporal warp device, allows discoverer to go back X number of turns and change faulty strategy, others not allowed to change theirs
