4.86 shiplist + Images

[Jinx]

with the new hitbox methods - the hitbox "problems" could have been fixed though. - but lets face it ... the ships ... while looking very good ... offered a very large front profile - a disadvantage for a game where players are used to joust rather than try to get to the opponents rear.

they were hard to balance - if balanced to be OK in a joust, they would have turned terribly awesome in groups. if balanced for groups - they d be comparativly easy targets in a joust. the new ships are daggers - which are easier to balance.


about models


it was said before ( multiple times ) - in order to get to work and deliver good results - a modeller needs to :

- actually like the faction modelling for ( thats why modelling for money only "really" works when the modeller feels a certain positive empathy for the faction anyway )

- know the factions lore well enough - or have been involved in making up the lore. - ( thats not totally important for a good model - but it sure helps )

- have a good idea.


factions that often don t get much "model love" are :

- factions that are a major pain and disrupt the community ( if a faction gets negativly flagged - you ll find less ppl putting work into it ... up to a point... at some point it becomes an efford to "safe" the faction from oblivion ( see BHG in 4.83 ) )

- factions with popular members in that are unsympathetic to modellers ( thats natural - you don t "give" stuff to ppl you don t like .... after all... its no charity here ... the currency payed for dev work is called "genuine appreciation" )

- factions that don t benefit many ( see what the currency is )

- factions that were defined by other modellers and are hard to imitate - unless the design is fully re-created - which is a lot of work
