Thoughts about shipmaking and mods

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 .

I was about to say, if you provide the models in proper formats, they will always be used in FL or another game (i.e. Star Citizen).

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?

.OBJ is your best universal format for most games. I often make random ships to experiment with new techniques and design aesthetics. Gotta keep your knife sharp.

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?)

sadly my mod for freelancer does not require space ships, so i cant use any of the great models you (or anyone else) makes.

if you feel like making some airships instead, let me know. lol

.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
