Dang nice work !

Thanks to you, THU11's, I have actually started playing more Lyran missions. The ships now have the great looks to go with the great weapons.

I wonder: Do the Lyrans have an Intelligence Section? I could just see a small fleet of ships with Black Panther textures...hmmmm...

Sounds like an idea for a scout ship to me.

Chrystoff · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:52:13 am »

A great idea as well!

I can't wait!!

Well there in SFB the Lyrans had different coloured ships for different fleets, the Red Claw duchy (which is the crest Thu11s has chosen) had sand coloured hulls, the Enemy's Blood duchy had dark grey hulls, on the Hydran border I believe. The homeworld fleet, foremost fleet, and Apex fleet had pelt designs similar to these. While the Far Stars duchy had dark brown ships with the exception of two of it's counties, Dark Storm who's ships had blue and grey striped hulls and the Nioght Star fleet who's ships were jet black, they were the outermost exploration fleets so I suppose no one cared if they painted their ships weird colours. It might be cool to see the Night Star fleet with those black panther pelts.

I'm now starting a petition for the Dark Storm's blue/black tiger stripe ships...

WHO'S WITH ME!!!

Please, Thu11... PLEASE!!!

Twisted my arm.

I'm all for it.

Somebody here can retexture them as requested I'm sure. The important thing is that Thulls release this and the rest of the Lyran fleet he's working on LOL.

Qapla!

Well said, KF! THU11's, take as much time as you need. I was just venting an idea, is all. Seeing Lyran ships as beautiful as yours, I couldn't resist speculating.

Hey, it just means he's in demand!

J. Carney · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:27:13 pm »

Yeah, I wasn't trying to come off as demanding (well,maybe a little... so sue me!). I just wanted to see a different paint job if he had time after he got done with all the ships.

Thu11 is BY FAR the best TMP-era SFB-style model maker out there- his quality and diversity shows that; how many other modelers have completely redone the Western Races... and then turn around and start re-doing the re-dos?

I'm just wondering what the Dark Storm's ships would look like. If I could get my hands on Photoshop, I'd start trying it myself... but I can't afford it.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:32:18 pm »

Don't think anyone thought you were being demanding, just excited is all. And I too think Thu11s' stuff is grand. His take on the Hydrans are among my favs!

Carney, this PDF show's the colour-schemes of the 21 Lyran Counties excluding the one that left to become the LDR obviously. The Dark Storm pattern would be quite a challenge to implement as it has to match going from section to section of the ship and if you just applied a series of stripes across the texture there will be major mapping differences and the pattern wont match up. I'm not trying to disuade you from trying, far from it I'd love to see the Dark Storm County fleet but just giving warning of the difficulty.

Oh BTW if you have Paint Shop Pro version 8 then you can open PSD files with it.

You all mean summint like this??

But like Marauth said, lining the stripes is gonna be hassle

Can't help shake the feeling it need a blue flashy light on top though....

Yeah, don't you hate lining up stripes like that? Maybe you should do some Hydrans next!
