So are you one of the unlucky ones who doesn't know what it is? I can't remember I how I found out, but I seem to recall hearing of an offhand reference to it and some... thing that EVula's been working on.

So by go live, EVula, does that mean it will become public?

Mwuhahahaha... soon enough, you will know...

...just for the record, it isn't anything that big. It's called "the toy" because I played around with it a lot to get it to work the way I wanted it to. Actually, I'm still playing with it. I always will be, in one way or another... (I managed to make that nice and vague).

Yup, you hit the nail right on the head, that's exactly what it is.

No, right now it is quite public. You just have to know what server it is on, what it's directory is (if it isn't a subdirectory), and what the file name is. By "go live", I mean I'll give out the URL (which will be somewhat different from what it is now).

From it's appearance, yes, it does look like a light warship. But Azdara brought up a few excellent points at the Image Gallery. Rebels operate outside of the core worlds. Therefore, they are more likely to be attacked by pirates. Not only would two laser turrets be enough firepower to dissrupt attacks from Clippers, Argosies (maybe), and Defenders, but the sight of moderate freighter armament would be enough to discourage most fighter attacks.

Sounds good. Are you going to have to re-do all that junk that caused problems in the beginning?

Thanks. Azdara Ace said the same thing. I noticed that by raising the bridge higher and flattening the nose, it gave the model more of a bulky feel to it.

I'll have the sprites done soon.

Work on the Rebel Missileboat underway.

Again, the sprites are great. I think that you've done an excellent job on the entire series; keeping the feel of the EV ships while making them look better.

Indeed he will. When the toy is available to be played with by the masses, people will know.

Thanks again. Glad the long hours of sprite-creating pays off.

The toy reveals EVula's true mind.

Ok, I've just finished my most adorable (I think) model yet, the Rebel Interceptor. This was originally the Missileboat, but since it looks more like a swift attack fighter, I gave it a different role. Sprites underway.

Nice. I think I'm going to change the image of the Stingray for BfS III to that. Not that there's anything wrong with the current one, but I'd sorta like to have sprites for it, and since you'll be making some anyway...

Yeah, yeah... Get Skyblade to do all that hard stuff.

Feel free to go ahead and use the Interceptor graphics in place of the Stingray if you prefer.

Starkiller: Thanks. I seem to learn more and more about Infini-D with each model...

Currently rendering the Interceptor sprites on my other G3 (looks like it's about done now). Be back in awhile to post them.

I definitely like that interceptor the best of all, you are a great graphics designer. I wish I had that kind of talent!

That is especially good to hear (you too, RC). It can be a stressful job, but thanks keeps me going. I owe my graphics ability to my older brother. I never would have touched that area of computers without him...
