Advance adds a few ships and outfits to the EVO universe in order to enrichen its diversity, without disbalancing the plug. So far, I only have two new ships: the Zachira and the Zidagar Arada, which I stuck together tonight. More are to come. Suggestions are welcome.

PS: I haven't playtested the Zachit outfits yet, since currently none of my new pilots has done the Zachit missions yet. Anyone?

Kickass. I was hoping for a Zachit ship with a Z. Fighter bay

how about a Voinan Blockade Runner based on the supply ship? It could be faster than a fighter and be armed with a neutron turret and three rockets?

Faster than a fighter? That doesn't really sound Voinian to me... however, I've got a Voinian Armored Transport in planning, which is going to be a lot of a blockade runner. I've never really played the Voinian mission arc through, but I can see the demand for a decent Voinian freighter... the supply ships are only good to capture and abuse in the Munb/Himgro run.

------------------

How about an Azdgari Lazira? That would be cool. How did you make those PICTs? Which program?

Oh, and by the way: EXTREMELY COOL GRAPHICS!!!.

Suggestions? hmmmm.... you've actually covered every weakness for ships in the game.... perhaps an Emalgha ship? Make a Crescent Warship emalgha colors. While it wouldn't quite fit, it would be cool. Perhaps a Lazira? I dunno. They need to pack some punch.

Maybe give the Hinwar their own type of ship?

The Azdgari already have 3 different combat vessels, unlike the Zidagar and the Igazra. For this reason, I've created the Zidagar Arada, and I'm planning on an Igazra frigate, too.

I don't have any concrete plans for the Azdgari right now (remember I don't like them much... :rolleyes: ), but if my plug turns out to become larger than I thought, then I might add another layer of ships to the strands. An Azdgari Lazira sounds quite realistic (unlike an Azdgari Dreadnaught ;)), but it prolly wouldn't be very different from a regular Lazira.

I used Ambrosia's original Infini-D models and retextured them, then rendered the PICTs from the models.

Giving the Emalgha a Crescent ship would be rather cheap. I do agree they need a better ship, though. Maybe a carrier. I'll have to edit the Emalgha freighter model for that.

I don't think so. They've been a slave race for a long time, it seems unlikely that they should have an own ship class.

Keep the suggestions rolling in though...

Very nice ships, Cinga. Good work... Hope the graphics make it into a plug. As for testers, I would help, but I'm currently working on a plug of my own. Sorry. :frown:

Cool! My idea is a modified Miranu Courier for the Renegades to use. It would be used to fire SAD's off from a distance maybe.

Um... wow. Those graphics are awesome. I think I have the Infini-D models lurking around on my HD, I just wish I had Infini-D so I could use them! Drat!

I could playtest if you want, i've got a couple of Pilot files who've finished the Zachit missions.

The Igadzra don't need a Frigate, what they need is a good fighter. The Igazras get killed simply because they can't handle the immense numbers of fighters.

Using heavy ships rather than fighter is the very essence of Igadzra war strategy. Giving them a fighter would be completely out of character, and would disbalance the game. The Arada is the closest thing to a fighter the Igadzra will get, I'm afraid. (And their Arada pretty much sucks, I know... :rolleyes

However, a long-distance surveillor ship would make sense for the paranoid Igadzra. I might give them an improved version of the Miranu Courier for that purpose.

And yes, it's truly a pity that the crappy AI doesn't do the Igazra justice when faced with fighters. :frown:

I just thought of this:
A converted Freight-Courier for a Gunboat by the UE or Renegades!

Sounds good.

BTW: I just got the Windrider done. It looks pretty spiffy. Unfortunately, the guy who hosts my plug isn't online right now, so I can't show you the pic right now. Anyway, I really rather ought to concentrate on Mille Terrae now...

I for one would like to see a independent ship or 2...
