Star Strike is now exactly a week from being 5 years old! This said, expect a sizeable update on February 18th, which I will somehow finish conjuring during this chaotic exam and project filled week.

In other news, the website's news system has been replaced; it no longer uses CuteNews but rather is fed straight from this board. As such, expect more news posts because I don't know have to make forum and site specific site updates.

To close this post off, a big thanks to Banshee for wiring this all up!

Years? I guess it'll be 2 years old then.

Damn. I feel old as shit. I was around even before this mod existed Sad

Good luck! Can we expect buildings?

I wish I could say that Gosho, but no, no buildings here.

I got plenty of concept designs through, as the checklist on this image indicates. They're rough and far from perfectly drawn but they do the job.

edit- cookies for the people who guessed five years, because I just now noticed I somehow omitted the 5 in my original post.

Edit- Also, I can't make any guarantees on the size of the update. I have 2 exams, an 8 page paper and a debate within this 4 day time frame.

Greetings from Haiti all!

Yes I'm part of the relief effort, hence my AFK-ness of late. Where I'm at right now I can reach real internet instead of having every site blocked.

That's weird, I remember when we began working together on Star Strike. Good art up there btw.

Hey YA, keep up the good work out there!

And thanks, I remember those days as well.

Well Orac, I can tell you a little of that here and now. #Tongue

I usually start with a side-profile image, like of these ships. I design the side-profile in MS Paint as truly as I can to the original thing, and paste that into VXLSE.
I after that I do a top-profile for the most important layer. (for a ship, it would be outlining the part where the hull shape is most well defined). Then I build around that.
For things based on real-life vehicles, its the same thing with blueprints.

Certainly not the fastest way but it gets the job done nonetheless. #Tongue
