Two skins for the Mirage:

Blue and Black:



Tan and Gray:



Which of those do you prefer? Or is there any color you'd like to see?

Jake - Do you have any samples of your work? We'd always like to see samples from ship designers. If you have any you can reach us by the emails in the "email" link provided next to our names

Btw Jake, do you have any good models in .ms3d (Milkshape) format, that is the main modeling program we are using for the mod.

Well folks version 2.4 or 2.5 is just about done.......

4 New ships:

The Wraith VHF - level 10 comes complete with level 10 Custom Weapons.. Very expensive............

The Taipan HF/VHF - very nice ship to fly.... not as Uber as some... Level 8 weapons but some good weapons available... Not quite as expensive...LOL . set up by GLock 36.....

The Basilisk - extremely agile - level 10 light fighter ... comes complete with custom guns and rockets..... the "more than equal" light fighter with an Achilles heel
Also set up by Glock 36, extremely expensive

The Nemesis..... Uber Capship with destructive potential plus... 2 custom "Retribution" beams, 7 turrets, 7 mines, 7 Custom torpedos, level 10 capable... fast , very heavily armoured... Also set up by Glock 36, unbelievably expensive.....

The Mystere has had a refit and a performance boost...She is now even better...

Lets see what else..........

7 New custom mines made for Nemesis availabale only in one place
1 New Weapons model.. the Green Terror.. new cmp and effects
3 new custom invisible weapons added

24 new systems........ am Waiting for Dark Dragon to send me any modifications etc.....

Plus any stuff I forgot to mention like - custom lights, engines, thrusters etc...

So a day or so away I hope.. just gotta update some documentation and do a final test........

Here are the first couple shots of the new ship "Chronos." You'll notice it's very similar to the old freighter "Ceres." That's how we planned it, this will be the escort of the Ceres once the mod is complete.

Here are the stats of the Chronos:

Name: Chronos
Class: Heavy Fighter
Guns: 5
Missiles: 2
Turrets: 1
Mines: 1
Optimal Class: 7
Max Class: 8 or 9
Nanobots: 50
Cargo: 55

Here is the first picture, I'm changing the texture right now as I don't like it too much, any recommendations?

To all of our fans:

We are getting VERY close to releasing our next version of the mod. As I type this, Harrier is working on the readme for the mod, it is nearly finished but we need the beta testers' names. If you have tested for the Epsilon Mod please post here. If you want to test for it in the future you can send me an email. Please do not clutter the topic with posts about testing, it is much easier to reach us by email.

More stuff I think you'll like:

Through some thinking I've come up with a new idea for a ship. It is going to be put to use. It is a "sniper ship" of sorts. It will have a very good radar system, and 2 very long range guns with low refire rates, but do loads of damage. The ship will be very useful for battles against capital ships. I'm finishing the model in Milkshape and will post pictures when it gets further along.

mr simpson we are going to need to come to your house tomorrow to collect the money you owe us.

good luck finding it cuz im gonna take the numbers off tonight

then we'll just look for the house with no numbers

fine then i'll take the numbers off my neighbors house

then we'll just look for the house next to the house with no numbers

Jake:

Thanks for the devotion and following through. We are very interested in your work and are awaiting any news you have.

Everyone:

Alright, the "sniper ship" is coming along nicely, i took off a couple wing bits because they were 2d and they show up odd. Here is a picture of it.



There is also this one, without the "spikes" in the front



Which do you guys like?

I'm gonna stick my fist in your ear buddy!
