yay for graphics design artist!

Yep, these are new bot designs from Luis. The concept is that they are made up of salvaged ship components, and that bots in different areas would use different components. Kinda forshadows nation-specific ships, doesn't it?

Indeed.

However, with all of those projections & protrusions, these bots will be easy pickings. In order to make some of the assault bots more difficult to hit, I think Luis should concentrate on models that are compact and give a low cross-section when they're engaged in combat with you.

Luis, you have a true gift. Keep up the great work!

Yes. very good work. I like it!

But... PLEASE respect the Polycount or make some good LODs of the new Vessels.

On my Powerbook 1.33GHz I can play really good with good looking Graphics. But if, fo example, the "TPG Teradon Frigate" or 8 to 10 Raptors comes into Sight, my Framerate would drop rapidely (say: unplayable Slideshow) even WITH Background Off and every other Setting set to Lowest.... and still the ships look as if there was no Level of Detail...

Sorry but currently I have no money to buy a new computer just for Vendetta. :)

Besides this: I worked as a 3D Graphic Artist (Gamedeveloping) for the past 6 Years and watched some Vendetta-Stations with highest Settings very closely yesterday.
Many Details! (But also many that no one would really see if he just docks and undocks...)

Keep up the great work!

kickass, when r these coming out?
Keep up the good work, those old designs look pathetic compared to the new designs.

Lookin good, as always Luis, and not too star trek/wars looking either!

Is everyone joking? Those were published a long time ago and I though who? me? was being sarcastic about it: there's still no sign of them.

Yes

Yes, these were published quite some time ago, and no they haven't appeared in the game yet.

The process of getting ships onto the production server is meticulous because there are several detail levels, mass adjustments, collision meshes, and so on. It's a big deal. I think they also want the set to be finished before they drop them in.

I know that, and even though I'm growing impatient for some additions, I was just wondering if everyone was joking..

I suspect who? me? might have been, but since it wasn't overt I thought I'd run with it. I think everyone else was genuine.

/me is being Genuine.

Thanks for all the hard work from Everyone.

so what are you saying? im not allowed to think that this new stuff is neat looking? just cause i dont stay up to date every day with the news. I was reading through the news, and thought to post that i thought the new hive ships looked cool, after looking at them, and thinking that they looked cool.

I was not joking.

My apologies then.

Thank you for posting those images, Who? Me?.

Neat stuff. Variety in ships is terrific.
