X3TC Argon Ships

Post by feygan »

X3TC ships converted to DW, many won't have full classifications as DW doesn't use fighters etc. In this case you can just rename the file to whatever size you want. Also these are individual ship files so you need to add them to your own custom families.

Also trying something new with these, I never liked how the actual engine flare has a few pixels of space before it actually starts, so this time I placed the engine lines slightly inside the models. I'm not sure how this will turn out ingame as I haven't tested these but anyone who wants to check them and let me know I'll be grateful.

Cruiser based on the argon titan.

I always liked the Argon ships. So I'm looking forward what else you come up with.
Those look great!

Will play with them tomorrow[:)]

Heres the argon gladiator bomber, though it might work as either an exploration ship or perhaps an escort.

The minotaur missle boat, although it looks like more of a freighter or colony ship from above.

'bout that bomber. Couldn't you put three smaller versions of it in one .png?
To keep things to scale.

DW scales ships ingame according to their design size not the picture size. You want a fairly large sized png as a base otherwise you loose all chance of details ingame.
