Samuel Schilierenzauer was just 22 years old when he won The Big Oone, the Lottoo game where seven numbers from a hundred pays the jackpot (a 1 in 16,007,560,800 chance). The game is played on hundreds of worlds in all the galaxies, but Samuel was the only winner in Week 32 three years ago, after the only triple rollover in The Big Oone history.

The young man, previously a greasemonkey from Aisqu in Galaxy 3, became a celebrity overnight. His name and image adorn everything from Lucky Bastard breakfast cereal (It's delicious, you lobstoitards™) to holo-commercials for the Lottoo itself.

Schilierenzauer says he spends most of his spare time throwing credits in the pursuit of women, parties and tinkering with fast ships (and the rest of the time, he says, he "just wastes"). He has no product to sell, apart from himself and his celebrity status, and he intends to have fun sponsoring his own team "until something better comes along".

Two more ships to follow.

Ok, thanks.

Later tonight, I'll upload the PSD template for my ships. Anyone using GIMP or Photoshop can use my templates (change Hue, Saturation, and add their own numbers and logos).

Pangloss · Post by **Pangloss** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 11:42 pm

I should remember that when I say 'this evening', I'm 5 hours behind most of you lot.

OK: anyone that wants to use these as templates for ships in Photoshop (expensive), Photoshop Elements (cheaper) or GIMP (free and open-source)... be my guest.

Krait skin

Sidewinder skin

Mamba skin

Scroll down the page to begin the free downloads. They're all in Layers, and most of the Layers are named (cockpit, engines etc) so all you need to do is tweak the colors of the Layers and add your own decals to make the ship your own.

Looks like I'm in for the next team. Festus Corporation, one of the largest ship dealers in existence, announce the formation of the Festus Flyers.

I'd better just put here, in case I forget, that I'm using Autobahn font.

Festus - blue/red?

Dang, I started doing a set.

Well, it's bound to be vastly inferior to whatever you (Pangloss) had in mind, so no probs

...

Nope, I hadn't started yet so it's all yours. If you want to use my templates and the logo (which is just a small variation of the one in the EliteWiki), please do. We can call it a collaberative effort, in that case.

And I will take Zorg Racing.

With optical filtration technology, a GNN photographer has captured an image of the eagerly anticipated new livery of the Team Xaosaspor Mamba.
The Janus Corp board of directors are said to be delighted with the design of the race team ships. Training has now commenced with the pilots for the new season of events.
It has also been reported that the mamba will be racing with a new SV-Dinamec engine from Seldar Shipyards. The Krait and the Sidewinder will run with the original Faulcon deLacy race system pro engine.

The team have been producing some encouraging results so far, and continue testing.

Zorg Spirits, after worst-than-expected sales reports in the Lethal Drinks sector, have bought an independent team and renamed it Team Zorg. Initial interest was exponentially boosted when the lobster CEO of Zorg Spirits (Zorg, son of Zorg, son of Zorg) secured an exclusive with What Spaceship? holovid magazine thanks to a rendered graphic of a possible Team Zorg livery and a four-minute exclusive interview with the publication.

The new Zorg logo has been introduced to coincide with this week's roll-out of the Team Zorg racing fleet.
