DURAN is the company name under which my ships are to be built, pending my mastering of modelling or old age, which ever comes first. Either way here are the designs in order of the company story, including the Sky-Witch that bankrupted Duran until its unexpected reprisal as a military transport, at...

Here are various dock occupants, the construction type vehicles are awaiting shipment down to the surface. Due to their size they are often transported between poorer worlds and constructed in factories off world. http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/buzbybadman/Dock-occupants_zps37c5fe8c.png ht...

Here are some specific races I was designing for use in missions or even as tourist/historical information.. http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/buzbybadman/Race1_zps0ca48701.png http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/buzbybadman/Race2_zps864e4932.png http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/...

This was just an idea for a daft sub-game for when you docked. Basically there was a chance of gaining one of these pets, when you docked you get the choice on F4 wether to let the pet out, which runs off. if you are lucky and it returns, it may bring an item it has picked up with it, or you will ge...

Security/tournament droids for Fuedal Lodges and main stations..

@Tricky: Alas tis just a filter from PS CS6 to smarten it up a bit :wink: @Shipbuilder: I would love to put all these ideas together but here I'm just throwing ideas at the board. Maybe I'll get round to making some of this stuff one day but others are more than welcome to use these ideas in their o...

These are my asteroid/castle ideas, some very basic and some initial ideas for modular parts.. http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/buzbybadman/Castles1_zps217b580d.png http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/buzbybadman/Castles3_zps3fa05185.png http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff350/buzbybad...

Welcome to my ideas thread, these here be for inspiration, if something is interesting to you and you want something more specific, just put a request here and I'm sure one of my breaks at work will produce something that may or may not be useful to you :wink: http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff35...

Pen and tablets are fairly cheap these days, 50 Earth credits will get you one, I use a UC-Logic which is getting on a bit but still works great. Blender is getting more complete and amazing by the minute and Jaz Haz is exactly right, that's what I use for the asteroids, and indeed my attempt at a f...

Hey Griff, I did have a go with Sculptris but have found Blenders inbuilt sculpt mode gives out the results I want more intuitively, with Sculptris I found using textures to add detail left repeating hard edges everywhere, but in Blender these were faded out avoiding the problem altogether. I haven'...

Hi JazHaz, thinking about this and seeing as the modules scripting would be OXP separate anyways it would be better for it to have its own matching astro-blocks to work with, and to be honest part of the fun of Zygoroids was giving them their own personalities anyways, so yeah, shut up me

Works fine here although haven't taken for more than a spin so far..
Windows 8 x64

Ancient aBit i 45CV motherboard that may well be holding things back

Looks sturdy, very nice sir!

Plus you could then have enough cash to hire, repair, and equip a group of mercenarys you can call on when entering witch-space and attempting to capture those thargoid outposts that keep advancing nearer. Not that the public know about those or that Gal-Navy losses mean their forces are dwindling a...

I most certainly agree. One of my idea's I had whilst sketching some possible Feudal Lodge variants would be to create two or three different asteroids using the existing texture styles so that they matched, then using those to spawn randomised 'clumps'. My intention was that these would act like la...
