Wyrdysm Games

I've been a member of these forums for a long time, played BSF off an on for a long time, and tried my hand a couple of times at shipbuilding, but I've finally decided to share and get broadsided by constructive criticism.

First up, what does every newbie like to make, a fan ship. (I won't bother uploading my earlier works, I have a horrible sub par feeling about them)

I hadn't intended to do a fanship to be honest, but when I saw a certain sprite my mind instantly recognized the basic form of one of my favorite other-universe ships of all time, and refused to let it rest. I simply will never be able to use this piece for anything else, ever.

Syn_sec09, I blame whoever made that piece.

Here you see the Mod Starbridge in its natural habitat, in Escape Velocity: Nova.



And here the the Mod Starbridge BSF Class. Armed with Gli-Tech packeted energy weapons technology, specifically Medium Blasters, and sport quad light blaster turrets for point defense, the Mod Starbridge is fast, maneuverable, and deadly in the hands of a capable pilot.






Feedback is appreciated, but it was more of a compulsory thing.

Other questions of mine are, I see a lot of this "SW" style floating around, and in one sprite thread saw something about converting to SW format, is this some other shipbuilding program? A set of sprite and parameters for the standard program?

Thank in advance, AhrenJB

TSA style is just a different set of custom sprites.
See the custom content section for details - just download the packs, drag/drop the images into SM to create new sections with those sprites.

I'm surprised to see it took all these years for someone to try a Mod Starbridge plug in this game.

Oh come on, you can't tell me this hasn't been done before.

BTW, making an updated SWize version.

Nope it hasn't been done until now, so congrats!

Annnd here is the new SW'ized version.

I like it. Cool fighter!

Very nice, I want to use parts of this! And nice job with the planet thing.

Isn't that just a default planet?

oh, is there a planet in game with the ring around it? Musta missed it.

That's from another game or tv series, I think.

As stated, the first screenshot is from EV:Nova. The planet with the ring around it would be Sol/Terra: the towers are massive space elevators or whatever you call 'em, and the ring itself is a massive industrial/docking area.

Huge portions of which are owned by massive corporate entities, primarily Sigma Shipyards, but also United Shipping, Gli-Tech, and Pyrogenesis.
