' Wrote:I actually -don't- think this ship fits. It's just too big for the Junkers. Junkers bases are in debris fields, they "comb the debris fields for salvage", they basically live in the asteroids and debris. I wouldn't touch this ship with a 10 foot pole as a Junker. They need a 1500 cargo hold ship with good maneuver.

' Wrote:I thought you were pimping this as a Junker Cap Ship? My comments were along that line of thought. Just seems too big to be coming out of a junker shipyard.

' Wrote:GMG maybe? They did manage to fight off Rhineland during the war, apparently without any capships.

Quote:I was going to start a thread that asked modders to help partner up with me.
I am a great model maker I just dont know much about Texturing and what files
the game uses..

I wantted to make a line of junker ships and have someone tex them and
subbmit them.

So I would be more than happy to do all your moddeling for you.
And I work fast with time on my hands. This is a
junker Gun Boat that I made in 2 days.

This was my Idea Base.
A quick pic of mine.

Quote:well I am not modder by any means. Though I am now looking into learning to at least texture (If I am going to push people to make models I may as well learn how to some of the work) Think of me more as an idea board then a doer.

Now as you noticed my design sketch brought up some criticisms. Several felt that it simply did not make a good junker ship. Thats fine Ideas must evolve. They tend to become better in the end.

Having said that I recommend you post those rough 3d comps in the developing thread. (Either in mine or your own) You are going to run into resistance in two areas. In this community many expect a junker ship to be ran down or at the very least under engineer or utilitarian. That design you have used is not either of those things. It looks like a finely tuned machine and provides this aura of "Militaristic Intent."

So the first thing to do is post the ship deign and get a feel on the community's reaction. This will help you refine the ship into the best ship It can be. Then you have your second battle with Igiss. He maintains a strict level of quality control for everything that goes into Discovery. Since he is a lone wolf when it comes to adding content getting your ship in wont be easy unless you have strong support behind your work. Even then that is not a given. Look at my Tortuga project.

Getting ships into the mod will be difficult. Even more for us working as team like you propose. We are the two best know junkers on the sever and any thing we submit will be assumed to be biased in its design. We will need to be ready to make concessions but know exactly where to make stands with strong arguments.

Now lets do some concept stuff on a new Junker GB since I am mighty sure that particular design will not go over well at all. Adding new ships from another Sci-Fi series is an uphill battle. Adding one from the dreaded homeworld games will be an absolute NIGHTMARE! The only you could get that thing in would be as an outcast GB since the next version up is also a homeworld ship and the two would tie together well.

So lets brainstorm:

What are some key elements that we as junkers would like to see in our ships.

How do we want then to look and what can we do to change that impression to suit what the community would like to see in a junker ship.

Any suggestions for the above? Truth be told I suggest we move this brainstorm to a thread in the forums. opinions from others can and do help!
