Welcome to Swordsman Enterprises.

Swordsman Enterprises is a mega-corporation, with many different branches in many different areas. SilverSword Entertainment (previously known as SpliTrak Studios) is a film-making company, and SE has taken on many public projects before the Fall, planning out entire cities and suburbs, not to mention masterminding, founding, and building the RCT-HSR line.

After the Fall, Swordsman Enterprises became the leader in microprocessor technology, and has a share of Sector 3's R&D centers. However, Swordsman Enterprises is a private company and does not care much about the Reunified Earthan Dominion other else than for its money. We are equally willing to trade with pirate scum as long as they offer us something decent.

Recent issues have allowed us to start marketing our wares to the open public, and many sub-organizations and nearly all REN ship masters rely on us for repairs and modifications.

Currently in stock:

Missile
These are sold as empty casings, which means the buyer is free to decide what kind of warhead to use. The REN usually wants these as torpedoes.

"Enke" V-III shells:
These rifled (rotating) shells are used only in heavy-weight cannons, and are equipped with a thermonuclear charge.
(Derived from CheesyErwin's Tyrian projectiles; used with permission)

Improved Railgun Shot
Nothing much to say, other else than the fact that the shell is compatible with the sabot-cannon as well.

Beacon
Ever wanted to booby-trap an enemy's path? These little buggers commonly used by the LSK have cost the REN many ships. (Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little double-dealing, is there?)

I wanted to vote "all of the above" but w/e :P

No, seriously, all these projectile sprites look really good, looking forward to more of them

You realise that Tyrian is a game that was released years ago and that CheesyErwin basically just ripped them from a sprite sheet, right? Asking his permission or giving him any credit is silly. Giving credit to the Tyrian game itself would be a better idea.

Anyway, these aren't bad, but I don't see anything here especially good, either.

They look quite good! Would love to see you do some weapons and turrets!

Made a semi-SW-sprite using GIMP. Didn't turn out the way we had intended, but it still is usable. Beta Test.

you may want to clean up the edges, and add a small maybe 10% alpha noise layer over it to make it look rougher.
I don't see any use for it myself, but im fairly bad with that. lol =P

I also suggest cleaning the edges, but it looks like one could make Drow ships with that. Still, it looks very big, you'd need a sizable ship to find a good spot for that section. Shrinking, maybe?
