I am almost done painting my ships, do you still want pictures of them?





by the way, great work on the cards dude!!!

 

[OnlyTheShadowKnows]

Well actually I think I need to ask permission from Bryan Steele....

Does anyone know where I could contact him, is he on the forums?

According to the player locator he's on the forums as B_Steele.

I'm all for anything that beefs up raiders...

 

[Chernobyl]

probably Mongoose_steele?

[Chernobyl]

well, I think I'm going to need pictures of a suitable "raider dreadnought/nova" conversion, but maybe not the specific one for the Ghosts...

Sounds fun

 

[CaptBavo]

Definitely, enjoyed the 1st edition ones

Go for it, I have to finish off the Trigati and then 2 more ships and im done on my Update

 

[B_Steele]

Here I am.

Before you post or submit them, just fire 'em out my way so I can give them a once over...but I think a 2E Ghosts of Omelos would be awesome. If I had the time, I'd do them all myself...but unfortunately I'm sorta swamped.

Cheers for liking the original work and wanting to see them updated!

It's a Dilgar/Raiders hybrid race created by Bry. See S&P 36.

 

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

This would so rock! Go for it.

 

[OnlyTheShadowKnows]

Now that I have Mongoose Steele's blessing, I am totally going for it. Hey if you guys have any ideas post them here and we can chat about the new list. I would like to add a few more ships as well.

This will be great!!!!

Ok keep what you do have to yourself for the moment, send it to a select few inc Bryan and take their advice, dont be afrade to stick to your guns.

Agreed. Have a think about the character of the fleets (the 'salvagable' and 'recreatable' dilgar technology) and what the fleet should be doing.

I think the previous version certainly got the scale right, with the Rah'Kahm being the biggest thing in there - and that only as it's a command ship. Raider-esque fleets shouldn't have war- and armageddon-priority ships as you can't keep such a vessel hidden!

The standard raider ships are fine - you might want to think carefully about the raider nova, though - I can't decide whether the Dilgar would find using the corpses of their enemies ships amusing or an insult to their ability.

The extinction battlewagon is a logical one, and the slight variant of dilgar ships makes sense too (adding lasers) - of course there have been quite a few new ships at low priorities added to the dilgar (including the game's smallest command ship) which make sense. Also, the new emphasis on antiship missiles is quite nice - a strike carrier or battlewagon refitted with missile tubes would be a good way to add some unexpected ranged firepower to a raider fleet.

I'm happy to lend what help I can.
