ship thoughts

have the ships ever been done with flash in any of the previous flash treks? cuz I was thinking that it might make be more customizable for the ships and maybe better damage looks and weapons could fire from actual spots on the ship instead of from the middle.

So anyone that knows flash better than me, let me know if this is a good idea or not.

I only really now computer graphics and not so much of the programing of flash.

Well, the biggest deal is how good something looks, that's why we use photoshop. It doesn't really make the ships more customizable, it's just a matter of setting it up.

I can do photoshop so I'm more than happy to help

If I get what your saying, the game is based on flash. go to www.vexxiang.com for the original. Also there sprites, so if you can make new ship designs, that would be awsome.

You're going to love this, for the most part, there will be all new ships, maybe only a few old ones!!! And anybody willing to help out on the graphics, let me know! There's a tut on bm sprites in the sig section of VX Flash, which I'll post a copy of here shortly

are these ship going to be based off of source? above 2D designs shouldn't be too bad.

have you ever played master of Orion 2? it would be cool to base it off of that but that might be too complex.

but should there be only parts designed thus you could have saucer A hull G and engines Z

and maybe different parts give you more or less weapon slots.

There's going to be a lot of cool stuff implemented in this game, with three different eras of ships to design!

well I'll try to start designing stuff. I dont have flash at home so I can't get all of the ships from the old game.

That's all right. My initial focus will be designing tos era ships like the constitution dreadnought, which I'm going to enjoy quite a bit!

found this website and downloaded some designs for ships

That's great!!

i think that the prometheus class class ship should have the multi vector attack

Agreed, the Galaxy should be able to so a saucer seperation, new ships would be awsome.

I'll try to have that implemented.

I found this website online and I sent him an e-mail if he can help out with ships
