I read the whole article and it gave me 76 billion floating point opererations a second, and says 76 gigaflops is what that is. I think 11.8 is the average, and 76 is top notch.

Very cool. A nice balance between a Gunboat and a Frigate (in terms of the ship's role, not it's appearance). Now all you have to do is get your damn site up and running, as well as get your email working...

I'm going to set up an alternate email account for you. I'll put the settings (and the correct settings for your old one) into a directory on your site (you'll know it when you see it, mainly because it'll be the only one there). If you get either account to work, email me to let me know. Gimme a few hours from now to get it together (I have other stuff to do first).

Edit: The directory is there now.

Thanks. A cross between a heavy fighter / light warship was what I had in mind, moderately protected and well armed.

Heh, you guys have been patient about my website. I'll definately get working on it once these ship sets are complete.

My original account you gave me has been working quite nicely lately. Ever since I trashed a bunch of old Outlook Express preferences and changed a few options, all has been well. E-mails are sent immediately, and receiving them is no problem. Hope you really didn't waste hours of time creating an alternate account. Thanks though, you've proven yourself to be the ultimate host.

Confederation Corvette graphics completed. View sprites on primary topic post. Beginning work on the Rebel Light Freighter.

Like the corvette. It might go well with some plug-in ideas I've had. Keep up the good work!

Gah, I spend two hours tweaking code and setting preferences.... just kidding. It took me longer to find your password (to test your account) than it did to create the new one (which has been deleted, btw). As for the ultimate host, well, yeah. Just glad to know that it is working; perhaps now the ball can get rolling on some of the "projects", hint hint.

Heh, ok. Thanks for going through all the trouble regardless.

Yeap, you're a good host. Uploading ain't a problem, nor is connecting to the server. As for your little projects, your evil schemes sound quite nice. Speaking of which, I haven't looked at your toy lately. How's it coming?

I dunno, that Rebel Light "freighter" doesn't look very freighterish (word? Oh well, is now ) to me. More like a warship.

Perhaps the Rebellion has learned of the Confederation's poor supply service (pathetic light freighters), and decided to revise the design, adding wings, shielding, and additional armament? I simply make the graphics. Plugin developers are welcome to make up any kind of description for the ships they want.

The Human Carrier from Ares was a cargo ship design, converted into a warship. I guess that same concept could apply to any vessel you wanted.

That's gotta be one of the lamest excuses ever.

Could you please upload the masks for the ships. I recently donwloaded the sprites for the Confed Frigate and Cruiser (and Battlecruiser, though it has not been placed on my iMac yet- story there) and I spent a good amount of time trying to make a maskfor the Confed Frigate. I did it using Photoshop, but the shadows and stuff made it a bit of a chore.

As for the Confed Cruiser, well ... that shadow made by the vertical fin makes everything a lot ... harder.

Noiw, I don't know if Inifini-D has "Shaders" like Mechanisto does, but I know that in Mechanisto you could make a "mask" by making a white shader that has a finish with
"no shading."

Anyway, excellent work, especially on that Confed Battlecruiser. I saw the 3/4 sprites and it looks even BETTER in that view than it did top down!!!!

So, my final word ... please, please upload the masks. (and the comm pics would not hurt, either. )

God bless,

UE Patriot

Skyblade, you should take out the big fins in the middle. They look nice, but make it less freighter-ish ( ;)). This is one of the few instances where simplicity and lack-of-detail will make it more understandable.

Looks great, though.

Please, don't even say that... Took me three hours in all to make that Freighter.

One could say the Rebel Destroyer doesn't look that a warship, since it is, after all, a converted cargo ship.

UE Patriot: Well, one of the reasons I haven't posted the masks is because I'd prefer these graphics not be used until I've released them as sets. I've found a method in Infini-D that makes creating masks quite easy (apply maximum light at the same angle as your camera), so don't worry, they're coming along.

I like the new Rebel freighter, although, from its appearance, I would be more likely to classify it as a destroyer or frigate.

I really love all of those. The only thing I would recommend is that you take the stars off the confeds and leave them as plain blue dots.

Why? They're so much more interesting this way.

Oh man, that sounds so wrong to people who have no idea what you're talking about...

Anyway, it's doing quite fine. Once I move the Lair over to the same host that evula.net is on, it'll go live there. Then, the fun will start...
