Proposal for ship submissions.

[Turkish]

Personally I find what you're describing to be too lengthy though, in a period of three weeks the average user who isn't that interested would probably stop paying attention. So I'd suggest streamlining and amending it to be more time friendly.

If you start your design with the intention of submission it would be helpful to have a checklist to review before beginning I think. Examples follow.

-Is this ship/station needed?
-Am I capable of accomplishing this on my own?
-If I do need help is it available?
-Am I going to finish this?

Those would be the preliminary questions I ask myself. From there it would be helpful to get itno the more complex aspects like taking in community criticisms and the like.

-Is this project going to make the deadline?
-Where can I safely cut corners?
-Are their criticisms fair? Are they right? Are they wrong?
-Will this model be updated? Does it need an update?

Then on to technical details.

-Textures
-Clean mesh
-Unintentional asymmetry
-Export errors
-Intersecting mesh sections or unwelded verticies
-Hitbox

Those are more important than anything I find, and also something that is required of from the designer himself rather than the system. I'm also opposed to leaving the controlling decisions in the hands of the community via poll results, it's just not smart. Vote on the look sure, voice your concerns about it's need or lack there of if you want, but not that.

Ultimately though the decision to review it for submission and where it would fit if at all should be left in the development team's hands. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to have a centralised FTP where submissions can be dumped along with a form giving details on it.
