I just thought I should inform all of you that I have a new free set up ships up, at my new web page, so go check it out 
This is my first attempt at making ships, and I think I did pretty well...I would like some feedback though, so tell me what you think!
Thanx

Great looking ships! I don't have a use for them right now, but being graphically challenged, I might need them in the future. I d/l the file and set a bookmark.
Keep up the good work and don't worry about the names for now.
T.O.P.
I have just updated my page and added a new ship, and some important news, a poll counter etc. Expect another update tomorrow...I am probably just going to revamp the navigation
Bookmark it all, so you don't forget, and check back often...Also, check back to this posting...I am planning on posting updates here

I added you site to the list of other free shipyards at the Grand-Novice / EVES site...
------------------
Live long enough in the
shadows, and you
become one...
(url="http://"http://www.grand-novice.com")http://www.grand-novice.com(/url)
For the main site
(url="http://"http://www.grand-novice.com/EVES-site")http://www.grand-novice.com/EVES-site(/url)
For the EVES site
------------------
Live long enough in the
shadows, and you
become one...
First off, I've added you to my Shipyard Links page (but it isn't up yet, so don't go rushing on over there uless you want to).
Second off, change the text color in that poll. White text and a light background don't mix.
Third of all, break the shipyard down into seperate pages. It takes a really long time to get all of the graphics (even for me, and I'm on a cable modem), so I'd hate to imagine how long someone on a 56k connection would have to wait. Just move the ships onto a seperate page, and link to it from the main page. That would cut down on the load time.
Something else that would cut down on the load time: crop the graphics that you have so that they are as small as possible. This will reduce the file sizes. If you can't do it yourself, just post a reply, and I can swipe them off your site, crop them, they email them to you.
Pretty cool site. (Sorry if I sounded picky about my suggestions, but I am picky... :))

Yeah, I'm revamping the site...sectioning it all out now, should load much faster. i'm also cutting down quite a bit on graphic size, so check back soon (should all be done by Monday).
I'm also adding some new planets and MAYBE some ships today depending on how things go...

Why not use the EV/EVO Web Links pages, too?

Thanks andrew I just posted my site, but one problem...
On the EVO page, I typed in my address wrong (I got excited and put www3.cybercities.comk......) so could you fix it? I didn't see anyplace where I could edit the link...
Thanx again, and the web page is nearly done being uploaded...it should load faster and be easier to navigate now!

Right, there's no way to edit the links, only the admins can do that. I fixed it for you.

Your gonna need better graphics but good try any way.
------------------
I updated my page again last night. I was unable to announce it over the board when I got done, becuase I had to leave right after, butyou can still go check it out now ;).
I revamped the page, added 13 planets. I sectioned everything on my page so it loads faster. Some pages don't have anything on them except a note from me and a Coming Soon graphic, but most pages have something on them
Go check out the new planets, expect a few more ships in the next couple days (I've finsihed 2 of them, I'm gonna wait till I get the whole set done before I release them :))

Yet another update...
Today I added:
New Asteroid graphics
New Escape Pod Graphics.
I just whipped these up in a few minutes so I could give myself more time before the next big update - probably midweek - where I will add a new set of ships to the shipyard, maybe some weapons and possibly some new outfits.
The Asteroid pics along (in my opinion) are worth the trip to my site, I love em
Oh, and they are now available in EV, and EV/O plug-in format along with PICT format.

Added 7 new ships to the shipyard...
This is the Cutler type ship set, but much better than the original Cutler design (which I re-modeled BTW).
I love these ships...go check em out!

I added 3 new ships today, along with revamping the page...
Lots of cool new java toys
Anyways, read the news...I got some great 3D tools, so expect ship quality to rise...

I updated my page again....
Added three new ships to the shipyard. I also divided the shipyard into sets and singles pages...this should improve loading times
I also added 12 landing picts that I made with Bryce 4...I also divided the planets and landscapes into 2 separate pages...
In other news, my page may be moving soon...I just have to find a good server to store my .sit files (I have already moved all my pages...the server they are on is very fast, but they don't allow .sit, .hqx, .bin, .zip etc. on their server...)
Still more news...but this is bad :frown:
I'm closing my Custom graphics shop...if you have already ordered, don't worry, your graphics will be made...to see how they are coming along, go to the Custom graphics page, then follow the link at the bottom...The reason I'm closing, is becuase I think I want to pursue other EV-related projects and I don't have enough time while making other peoples graphics...there will still be free graphics coming every week or so though, so don't worry about that

I've moved my page over to Angel Cities today...
Totally new layout and graphics (all done by me). The only bad thing about the new page is it doens't let me put on the top menu bar anymore...
I added 1 new outfit to the Weapons and Outfits page, more coming soon...especially since I have a fast server to work with
Anyways, here's the new URL, so update the bookmarks:

If you don't have the Textile font it may not work too great...if too many people have problems, I'll change it...
