Are there special favorites from my old sets that people would especially like to see more in tune with the new oolite universe?

Not an old set of yours but 1 set that pops up in my mind is Military Fiasco (no offense meant). I personally like the mission and the ships there but if you compare them with the new oolite universe they could use some refurbishment, maybe in the style of your Light Destroyer or ADCK's Galactic Navy ships.

One of the last things I was playing with was navy ships ... a big triangular carrier.
Currently mainly interested in small ships, fighters.

Thought of theming one of the empires as SW-esque... but also musing of hijacking my neolite anaconda design as a military ship, add in the re2dux constrictor design since it's just too beautiful not to keep. All renamed and repurposed.

So the anaconda would be a pocket star destroyer/frigate, the constrictor a destroyer or heavy scout.
Themed textures for the vipers ... that actually looks easier than what I had.
And a carrier ... I had two carrier designs, one a big triangle and the other basically a dock with engines strapped in.
Military base.

That would mean checking to see which things I'll be stepping on.
But right now ... getting used to the tools.

Have not looked at military fiasco.

I think I know though... it's a chopped cobra with big engines and cut-away panels to accommodate huge intakes.
There was some enthusiasm for that at the time but it never made it to a model.

Yes, that sounds like the one.

... hmmm you have seen my ships right? "Returning to original" is not what I do.

Fair enough.
I had got the impression however (if my chronology is correct) that, with regards to shipsets at least, you had been heading in that direction.
Waka/Piko ---> Neolite ---> Re2dux

So the anaconda would be a pocket star destroyer/frigate, the constrictor a destroyer or heavy scout.

Sounds good.

Holy mother of.....


It's SIMON B!

Welcome home, mate.. didn't think we'd ever see you again..

Well on and off ... I have real world projects occupying modelling skills. Architecture CAD and reno.
I've downloaded the latest version and looking to see if I can update skins to fit better with Griffs ships.

I've been getting notices of downloads from box still, curious that people still like them with the griff ships not the standard.

I had heard about re2dux and just now added it. I say, Simon really has gone back more toward the classic look, but with lots of flash gear. Gotta love the glows and the look of vessels that have been around the eight and back again.

Seconded...SBs work garners much respect IMO, I am particularly enjoying the challenge of trying to nail just one of his Aphid Pirates and I appreciate also the Sense of Humour viz a viz the Bath time Easter Egg sometimes found in Asteroid Fields

Now ..if only someone could mend his awesome ubertharg oxp so that it actually shot at us
....

Does anybody have any idea as to what the Bath time Easter Egg is (and which .oxp it is in)?

A rubber ducky (squeek! squeek!) in the aforementioned (and very fine) Re2dux oxp.
