I have used your shipyard graphics on the tactics page. And I will use your outfits once I get to that section.
I'll post the stories next update.
Hey, how did you make that metal texture you gave me? That was cool. I would like to know how to do something like that. I mean what filters and effects did you use?

Don't worry, that will change over time. I'm sure once your website starts picking up traffic, you'll get more link, graphic etc. submissions.
Well, those ship and outfit graphics aren't really mine, but glad you could use them. Feel free to use the descriptions of you create a shipyard...
Textures take awhile to make. The particular one I sent you (I've made so many that I can't remember exactly which one I sent you ;)) was, I believe, designed at a few hundred pixels, then was pasted and pieced together into a 1000 by 1000 pixel image. 3D programs like large textures, thus the reason it's so large...
I don't use too many special tools to make textures, just the basic ones for the most part. I start with a background color, and apply a few darker shades and give it a guassian blur. I then apply "texturize" and "noise" effects as a finishing touch. It's things like the odd shapes and boxes that take up all the time. My first textures were terrible at first, but you get better as time progresses...
