Frozen's development update - Zukeenee - 02-07-2011
I've got no problem with ships in Disco that are based on ships from other forms of media. As long as they look cool, and aren't exact copies from something else, I'm fine with them.
But these mining ships seem to emulate that EVE ship in nearly every way possible. Except for the bits at the ends of the wings, it looks like every little detail was added specifically in order to look like the EVE ship.
I've got no problem if we keep the basic shape of the thing. But can we just simplify it a bit and make it a bit more... unique? Or are we too late into the development to change anything? I mean, if so, It's not a big deal to me. I just feel that we could do better than a direct copy.

He plays EVE.
So sue him if his ships for Disco take some pointers from EVE.

They look industrial and Gallic to me, and fit to that specific house, while you can't say that for majority of other imports, so np there for me.
Frozen's development update - frozen - 02-10-2011
yes, the models are based off the minmatar fighter drone from EVE online, but it has been retrofitted and changed modelwise in certain bits from the EVE counterpart, and 100% retextured using custom freelanceresque textures i created for them. it was discussed on the dev forums and after much of that the decision to add them was taken, hence them being submitted and added. the changes the original model has gone to make it compatible for discovery are quite extensive, so calling it a simple import is incorrect.
@ zukeenee, its a bit late for that now.

what do you mean? they're still going to be put in game. these screenshots are just of the stuff that is already ingame. we're having some hitbox issues with the trade lanes, but that shouldnt be too long a problem now hopefully.

Is there going to be a gallic battle transport? and if so, can we see pics of it? (shire equiv)
Currently the civ-usable stuff in gallia is quite limited, and the HF/LF that are the only options are absolutly terrible.

Do you mind listing all these differences? I'm sorry but you can claim these aren't imports at all, but they are indeed imports. Not saying I don't like them, just saying either stick to the rule or throw it out. There are a ton of other good ships we could import and alter like these are. Some have been shown on the forums only to have a developer drop a single post claiming no imports.
In my eyes you've changed the rules to no imports unless they look cool, are of good quality, and fit their proposed faction.

and whats exactly is wrong with gallic civ ships?....you dont like design or stats?....design wise they are updated and line got new additions, but stat wise they will most likely remain the same...
also, civilians in gallia now have lf/hf and very strong freighter at their disposal...
Frozen's development update - Lunaphase - 02-13-2011
Well that looks alot better, but their stats are still laughable. they are huge targets and too weak for their size in armor
