Nanz update

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

Nanz update

Post by Serithi »

Chances are this has been done already, but here's my go anyway:


Bombardment Ship
Image

Carrier
Image

Cruiser
Image

Defender
Image

Frigate
Image

Raider
Image

Dreadnought
Image

Leviathan
Image

Ingame shot
Image



Lemme know if there's any mistakes (parenting, health, turret arcs etc.) and if i missed any ships (not counting Nagaya, i'll do his with the Pirate line when i get around to doing it) ;).


EDIT: Changed Leviathan's Megapulse (or whatever it is they're called) gun sprites. How's it look now?

The .sb4 and .shp files. Also, if you want the Leviathan, scroll down to the other ships, it's got the newer .shp and .sb4 with them

These are quite good. I always like seeing people updating the stock ships and these are a solid improvement; not that that is difficult with the new sprites. All the same, well done, please make more, and if we're very lucky, Sean will resurface and put them in BSF2.

Are you kidding me? These are beautiful, redefining the old ships in a new way, the same way the Pelican changes from Halo 1 to Reach, and the way that the Protoss carrier evolved from SC1 to SC2 - they both become better and better yet still retain the old general shape. Very good.
If admirals hate and trash your ships,
If you can't get it right;
Then off you go, but don't call quits;
Just go make custom sprites.

All of the ships are nice, but that Leviathan is damn sexy. My only advice would be to try Tyrian's, Svn's, or Ixra's newer weapon sprites, as I think they suit the shiny sprites better. In any case, can't wait for the pirates.

These. Are. Fething. Awesome. Every time I look at these I want to start using Shn sections and take apart BSF.exe to give the more obscure alien weapons a look that gives them justice. Also you may want to check the Sidewinders on the Dreadnought and Frigate, they have not been flipped properly.

You've missed the alien defence frigate aigeis thing ship however you have made some very nice ships Which definetly look alien. (The pirates will be awesome :) )

P.S if you give aigis deflectors a dark colour, you get a more subtle sheild effect.
I think the induction of "LOL" "OMG" and "<3" into the Oxford English Dictionary is a sign of the End Times. Only, instead of a rider on a pale horse, it'll be a gibberish-spewing spastic in a monster truck named "The Dildozer".

Ah, but that blinding horrible white is a hallmark of the game's ships. You can't do away with that :P

To me the raider and the cruiser the best. Great work on this re-envisioning of the Nanz, I always liked their shapes.

Glad you guys like 'em :). I'm working on the Terran ships (Hestia, Enyo etc.) right now, and then i'll do the Pirates.


@ jwa8402: Hm, i'll find a use for those :D.

@ Shifter55: They showed up fine before, lemme go test them... EDIT:, fff, computer's on the fritz again, i'll try later when it finally works again.

@ Doogie12: Which mission does the Guardian show up?


EDIT: Also, i've been meaning to ask, what's SW mean?

Not in any mission, but later stages of the Grinder. They have two aegis shields and a megabeam.

Not half bad, actually. Though I would recommend replacing the vulcans on the Leviathan, they look out of place.

very nicely done, i can't really see anything that could be improved. i look forwards to trying these out, have you kept all the stats the same as those of the stock modules and weapons?
There is no OP, there is only more boosters...
