You see, I tried those graphics and for whatever reason, the ship looked pink, and it didn't have any detail. I guess I need to work on it. Plus, I can't make any shipyard view that even remotely resembles the ship. Oh well, You've inspired me to keep trying

You could try just posting here, which is the usual procedure. Alternatively, you could send it to the email link in my sig, which is mailto:e-gamerguy1@attbi.come-gamerguy1@attbi.com
Do you want Skyblades Alien Textures? When you make the ship you can come on the Alien side and be our ship designer.

But what if the Wraiths go around the Valkyries and hit them from behind? That is the purpose of the manueverability: to go behind the enemy and stay there.

Well, I have the alien frigate sprite that looks great in photoshop, but not-so-great in ev itself. But, I guess it's ok for this thread and I can work out the kinks later. To see the sprite, copy this link into the address bar and open it.

Of course you can! 
Ahhh, I hate to tell you this but all the pic links you post on the boards are links back to this page. Or am I the only one getting this?

Then the Stingrays turn around and fire, and you're still dead. Remember that HALOs outrange you at least 4 to 1, also.

So, a group of Ghosts is going to stop my big Cruisers from attacking you? Don't make me laugh. If you're talking about my little Space Bomb group, well, it only showed up as four gunships on the sensors, and any Ghosts (and/or Lancers) attacking it would be blasted by its escort force, which I believe I alluded to but didn't describe in detail for space reasons.
Bari: I'm sure the Aliens would be glad to have you, so just pick out a fleet and get ready. You'll have to start at one of the Alien Core Worlds at this point, but I think it'll be fine. Welcome.
Probably won't have time to get the map updated tonight, but I'll try.

Yes join the Aliens! Put your ship somewhere on the Dreden front as well. We'd appreciate your help greatly.

And do keep in mind that Dreden warships and fighters use the same technology as the aliens. In other words, those Heavy Cruisers (in you're talking realism here) would have been shot to pieces in seconds...

I'm sorry skyblade but he sayed that the fighters took 3 passes on those ships. The heavyCruisesr had plenty of time to destroy at least 5-10 . The alien ships have more shielding and armor.

Adzara, I think it's a bit unrealistic that you came up against 2 heavy cruisers and other ships but suffered no losses.

Don't worry. We're all entitled to our opinion. 
Think about it. Two single warships charging a fleet of hundreds of hostile vessels. If you put this into thought, they'd get nowhere. Now in realistic terms, those alien ships should have been destroyed before the fighters could even make a single pass. I don't think it should have taken as long as it did, when every gun in the fleet was targetted on those two doomed suckers. If we go with Azdara's story, he probably should have lost a fighter or two, however...
...But then again, the alien destroyers would have probably been completely confused as to what to shoot at.

I would like to point out several possible rule infractures
1. How did Azdara Ace just "gain" those alien interceptors? You cannot acquire new ships unless purchased by the government for you. Unless he used them as a figurehead, didn't count them as part of his fleet, and didn't use them for combat, that is or should be disallowed and illegal.
2. How did KK acquire that modified argosy? I would have been fine with it except that he used it as a weapon. To use a ship you must purchase it. He used a freebie to inflict massive damage on skyblade frigates. That is a serious rules infracture.
3. How did AA capture an alien system with zero losses. It is like the pirates of last round, you have to accept some losses.

Well, it sounded kind of realistic to me. When the conquerer arrives, there's almost always loot. I don't think we should make such lucky captures very frequent, but I didn't see anything exactly wrong with what he did. Azdara, I'd recommend not having such an occurance happen again anytime soon, just to keep problems down.

Refer to previous post, and if that doesn't help out, let Mac fix everything.

While realistic, this rule can be taken to the extreme. Since they are the Alien's property, why don't you ask RC to loan them out to you
This kind of thing could lead to another BfS II, so my opinion is that it should be completely banned.

Well, if we'd just drop it and not fuss about every detail, we wouldn't have to worry about another BFS II.
Don't know if RC would approve of that.
