Thoughts about shipmaking and mods
-
So I was thinking, is it worth making ships or other models for Fl this times? Less and less mods are alive this days. How many mods are making new updates? The activity here is getting low too, sadly. If I or anyone will make new ships or other stuff, will they be used? Maybe I quit doing meshes for FL, maybe not. It depends, but I have my doubts.
There are the thoughts I have these days. What do you thinks guys, is it worth anymore making ship or mods or any kind of new stuff for FL?

They will be used.
Somewhere on my HD are also for example your Model Packs. In our modding Section we are discussing Ships, Stations and other Model Stuff on a regular base. Just now i came from a thread where we have to choose 22 new Ship Models for one of our new Factions. I don’t think that we sometimes will be ready, especially since the Servers are getting cheap and cheaper - so it is not a problem anymore to finance a good dedicated Windows Server, in our mind are different Ships for all Factions, so
.But i know what you are talking about.
There are more Space Sims outside - if you also provide your models in obj they may be used in other games too.
TSP is the base for FL modding imO. maybe Sections for other Space Games, ofc. while inviting their modding scene, may increase the population here. Modders from different Space Sims could interact and learn from each other .

Like w0dk4 says, even if FL is quiet, no doubt star citizen will spark a whole new era of modding. Bottom line though, do you enjoy making them?
-
-I do like making ships, except when I am to depressed too do anything.
-Star Citizen, hmm imo my ships are not on a same quality level as the SC ones, I doubt they will ever be in any SC mod.
-The proper formats…well usually convert them to cmp because they are mostly for FL, but maybe I am doing it wrong, maybe a lightwave or Max format is enough. And maybe I can follow SolCommand’s example and release a ship for DL after it is done, or dunno.
-
Actually I have seen you do a lot of nice ships. I was unable to test them due to them being in the cmp format.
-
While the next version of WTS might be the last one,
you’ll find once more a few of your ships added.TY for your nice ships.
PS.
We need an android client for FL, to get all those zombies playing,
you + me see all day running past with their eyes stuck to their handy.

I always forget about LancerSolurus’s galaxy empire, now there’s a man who’ll have all the ships you can throw at him
-
@Timmy, very true, plenty of factions are still in serious needs of some ships. I lost my code for Milkshape due to a virus wiping out my Vista installation so I have no way of converting them (isn’t there a max plugin for that somewhere?)
-
.OBJ format is the way to go, guarantees universal useage and simple to convert to FL format. If you look at turbosquid or similar, nearly everything on there is in OBJ format for this reason.
Still a few mods being released, Genesis was the last one i saw on moddb but there are others
