I dont know what is the best board to put this so I chose one at random
Say i was creating a TC (it diesnt matter which engine for) and when it came to ship graphics, there were little new ships, just some taken from EV, EVO and free-ship websites (thanx Matt (Dailey) in particular)
When it came to you playing the TC, would you think less of the plug because it uses old and free graphics?

w00t!
It depends. The gameplay must rise above the graphics in that case. Look at Empire of Crime. No original graphics, but it doesn't matter, since the fighting is amazing and deep. Even if you have all-original graphics, they can also still suck, so don't worry about it. Just make the game rise above it all.

Nope...as long as you had the taste to choose good graphics.

Not at all! Unless the graphics you chose were terrible.

As long as the missions were worth using graphics from the other Escape Velocity games, I wouldn't mind their use in a total conversion.

The truth is, I'd rather play a plug-in that used graphics I know are good, rather than be forced to settle for graphics that are original, yet low quality. The general consensus is that missions make the plug-in, and I agree. If you can make kick-ass graphics, I'm all for it, but if not, use some of the excellent free graphics on the web. And there are a lot of free sprites and such out their.
A word of caution, though. While I enjoy good graphics, I find that I like consistency even more. I hate it when there are some ships that look really fantastic, and five minutes later you see one that looks terrible.(Kind of like that death ray mounted bulk freighter.) If you're going to use other people's graphics, make sure that they fit in with the other graphics at least to a degree.
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

is there a program or something that helps you construck Ships?? or do all plug-in people who uses own graphics make em from scratch......
