I have made a new set, based on sources from game Epoch Star.
Anything except flags and race portraits have been done now.
Need new race name)

Those look like some flimsy bases... hope noone crashes a fighter into the tiny arms connecting the spikes to the center! Twisted Evil

Lol) Probably it is too weak for a real construction, but if you try to imagine some ships from SEIII shipsets you can find even more fragile structures)

P.S. I'm using stock Neutral010 race for flags and portraits atm. Black flag and tick-shaped logo looks appropriate)

Looks great! Can't wait to use this for an Evil Empire setup Smile

I like the textures and the engine glow work!

this set looks like Raider's ships from Firefly series...

So i am really stuck on race portrait... First i thought that can be a custom neutral shipset, to make a difference between those neutral ships, and planned to add more unique shipsets for all neutral races... But this is obviously looks evil and too aggressive for being neutral.
What do you think?

Ooh, definitely make the shipset into a race in its own right.
That looks about as Neutral as the Borg do.
As for names/race info... thats your job Smile

If you've ever read Alastair Reynold's' Revelation Space books, then you might see these chaps as an ideal set for the Inhibitors.

The Inhibitors are the intelligence left over from a massive war — the Dawn War — that occurred between the first few civilizations that arose in the Milky Way galaxy. Initially an organic race, they later made use of extensive cybernetics to enhance themselves, and eventually discarded their organic forms entirely to become wholly machine. The hints of a quadrupedal, warm-blooded vertebrate (also known as mammalian) past can be faintly discerned in their architectures. They are called wolves by the Conjoiners, because they lurk in the blackness of interstellar space and attack in packs.

Disregarding any criticisms, I'd say that's a terrific and intimidating looking shipset. Nicely done!

At a first glance, coolest shipset ever made for SEV Smile

Thanks)
I made new race picture from drawings i found on deviantart

Sources for credits:
"Vorox noble" by randolfo (roughly cut and painted by me)
and "City by the Lava falls" by jermilex
Also updated flag set and think Vorox is a good name for that race.

Description : The Vorox are merciless hunters, devoting their lives to ancient hunting gods, and wages a holy crusades against those who trespass their sacred hunting grounds.

Uploaded now... i have tried to edit a speech file, but it takes too much time... so it remains partially modified.

Trooper · Space Emperor Joined: Sep 16, 2008

Dude, where'd you upload it? I looked in the shipyards and got nothing.

Voiddweller · Space Emperor Joined: Jul 13, 2007 Location: Russia

Well, here it is http://files.spaceempires.net/user/1689/Vorox_1_0.rar
Now available at shipyards ^___^

Haha, woah, that portrait looks like the Mrrshan from MoO. But, way more badass.

Imo this is what the Sithrak shipset SHOULD have looked like.

Use shipyards please. This is a direct link i posted when was no shipyard profile available.
Also i forgot to replace weapon platform mech...

Having a problem with this shipset, when ever I build a ship (right when it is finished) or use the combat simulator the game crash and give me a "Stream Read Error". Designing them works fine but it's when the 3D model is supposed to be shown in the game that crashes it Smile

Using v1.79 + Latest BM with Small Systems addon.

For some unknown reason it fails to show any .X completely...
I will try to fix this soon.

Well... problem was with BMP textures saved with wrong settings, so models fail to display.

Here is a new version with some additional fixes:
