Ship submissions notice

[Jinx]

again - modellers prefer to make ships for factions they :

- have nice ideas / concepts for
- are asked ( nicely ) to make ships for
- are involved in the factions themselves ( meaning, they have a good idea of what is appreciated etc. )

modellers ignore factions that are:

- generally underrepresented
- they simply dislike for one reason or another


the above reasons apply to my reasons - others may have other reasons.

in general - first thing to be done is :

- to make the modellers aware of the NEED for replacements - and not just a general call for assistance, but a specific one - if you say "someone please make a ship" - no one will feel particularly addressed, if you talk to someone specificly - you can state reasons - and he/she can state reasons for or against new ships.

- come up with a detailed concept of how ships ought to be - and be open minded for what the modeller says is possibe / will look good or bad - cause many modellers know their skills better than others - know what they can do and what they cannot do - they know what they can try and what will most probably look totally stupid.

- make sure that the faction really CAN get new ships. - no one likes to work for nothing. - so when lets say .... bundschuh asked for a battleship. chances that its included are almot nonexistant.

but in general - a modeller can only make models when he knows that a model is required and when he has an idea. - when a modeller doesn t do a model doesn t mean its spiteful or that there have to be personal reasons against it - it can also be that a modeller simply has no idea how a ship ought to look like - or what the faction is about. - so don t be disappointed when you re rejected with your request.


additionally - modelling is also a matter of liking or disliking a faction. - when you dislike a faction - its harder to make a good model for it, cause you re prejudice. - some people can work around such an issue ( which is professionalism ) others cannot.




then there are the increased submission restrictions. - they can scare people away - others however feel challenged. - depends on the person.

whats also detrimental is - when you present a concept design - and ppl say "but X already works on this concept" - if you say that, you should be 100% sure that X really works on the concept and finishes / uploads it - cause if he won t do it, the modeller that just presented his concept has just stopped - cause of what you said - cause where s the point making a model when X is already on the case.

( for example - ppl said that someone was already covering the renzu line and the ki and other homeworld ships. - so i have of course not worked on them anymore - so when it now turns out that whoever was mentioned is not submitting anymore - renzu and other civi homeworld designs simply get no update at all, cause everyone thought the other modeller had it covered - so only spread information you re certain about )
