Uhh... if you did send me anything, it was put in my bulk mail (spam), and it was scanned as having a virus.
And since the message was from NZ, I assume it was from you.

You could get somebody else to beta test it if you want...

I managed to convert it. So now I have my suggestions.
Make it cost at least a million more.
Give more rounds for the Storms. I would say at least 200 total.
Or to give it a more Pirate-like feel, give illegal QLBTs.
In fact, use illegal everything (okay, I'm pushing it
Heavier railguns would be well suited.
And due to the railguns, I think FPCs are a bit underpowered and shortranged.
I think a pair of ion cannons might be a good compromise for close range.

Well I gave it FPC Cuz they are Piraty and i'll up the Ammo for the Storm, and the Varient has 1 Ion Cannon and its a bit over powered along with its speed but if you want I can give it 4 Ion Cannons like the Valkyre Class IV but I feel power wise that will be invincible

The Pirate Valkyrie is quite invincible. But I think it's considered one of the über-ships, those which are way overpowered for their size and cost.
I've been doing some testing with different weapon configurations and I've found that Hail Chainguns and EMP Torpedos are an amazing combination. Of course EMPs would be a bit too large for a ship of that size. I have a similar weapon that I could send to you, it's like an EMP but it is smaller and does a bit less damage.
Three Ion Cannons would be a nice setup.

Dr. Trowel

Instead of ion cannons, have you considered using a larger number of thunderhead lances, perhaps firing from the pods on the wings?

Yes, FPCs are "piratey," but the shipyard pic sure looks like it is firing blasters.

Insomniac

Right now everything seems great.
Try to figure out the best combination of weapons, and I'd say it's done. But maybe you could get it to show up in the shipyard a little more frequently?

Well i've set it a 40% Chance which is about as much as the Normal Stardridge. And by the Weapon set I've now set if so you have 5 FPC and 200 Storm Ammo, and the reason I gave those combinations is because they seemed like the best Equivlent to the Mob Starbridges Weapons, Medium Blasters - FPCs, Radar Missiles +24 (No Change, Mabey Gravmatic Missiles (They are mainly used by Rebals though), 100mm Rail Guns (No change I dont think) and Quad Blaster Turret - Storm Chaingun +200 ammo and that seems to work fine for me, although I've come Up Against the Class E and was totally and Utterly Oblitterated by 4 Ion Particle Cannons, 24 Radar Missles and 5 FPCs, so I'm thinking I should put the Class E on a lower Percent Chance to appear (the Comp seems to like Stronger Ships :p)

Persondude which Weapon Combination did you mean you liked, the current one or Klepsacovic

And Trowl I didnt make the Shipyard pic so I can really do anything about it

When you finish the plug email me another copy, and I'll upload the mac and the pc versions to the addons.

How much longer do you think it will take?

Someone other than EVula said my name right! weeps
I vote for my weapon configuration. What was it again? I think I changed it.
How about chainguns (6), EMP Torpedos (1+6ammo), and two 200mm railguns? And an illegal QLBT, that can be put in as an outfit. And illegal jammers, make it really pirate-ish.
Oh, and I would recommend replacing the EMp Torpedos with my specially designed EMP Generator. It's twenty tons, same as a torpedo tube, but it uses fuel instead of bulky torpedos. I could send it to you, who wants it?
Anyone? Please, I want to feel like I've contributed, humor me.

Hmm, If you ask me two 200mm seems a bit big compared to the size of the ship it doesnt really seem to fit, the plug is basically finished, but I keep on modifying and changing stuff as i encouter them In the game but i'll e-mail it to you now persondude

meh, looks fine to me.

Unless you want to change anything else, I'd say it's good to go.

Do I have the latest version right now? If not, email me the new one.

------------------------------
Mod Pirate Starbridge

This plugin adds one new ship: The Mod Pirate Starbridge. We felt it was necessary for there to be a mod variant of the pirate starbridge since there are modified versions of the others, and thus the plug was created... a year later.
This plug comes with a full set of graphics (which, I may add, are very well done.). Comes in Mac and PC format.

Graphics by persondude, compiled and written by StormÇrřw.
Version 1.0.3. Send any comments/bugs to insomniac1@sbcglobal.net and/or (Do you want your email address here?)
------------------------------

What do you think? Should I upload each as its own file, or together? (I'm leaning toward separate)

Also, what would you think about an Unmodified rebel starbridge? (just a rebel starbridge without the guns)
I wouldn't make it now... but I might try it sometime in the future, using the same basic process.
