Well, let's not get too carried away with the compliments...

While I am very proud of this new ship, I did base it on someone else's drawing.

Considering that my ships are original, you can't compare them. Apples and oranges, mate. Windows and Mac, etc.

Billy, what would you say to a build-off?

I don't think that's a good idea. Since our group is so small, I don't see a competition as being anything but divisive. I think you and I and maybe a couple others of our choosing should build a group project together. I already have an idea for one project that I've been wanting to tackle for a few months now; but it's too big to do alone and it requires more variation in building styles than I possess.

PM me if you're interested and maybe we can do something really cool.

Oh somehow this forum doesn't like obligations like it, I thank everyone who came to help at least temporarily on my map but eventually alone I began it and it seems like alone I'll complete it.

Well, that's too bad. I think this project could be a lot of fun, is anyone else interested?

Also, I had completely forgotten about your project, how did it turn out?

Turn out ? Man I have a whole load of work left to be done. I kinda didn't arrange a new building session because I planned to clear the night for my little Java lesson but something tells me attendance to both won't be great. I guess it is your loss if ppl don't turn up for the Java stuff but as for the building that is a real shame - I guess I began it alone and it is up to me to complete it alone, So far I think I have a hour worth of content and I still have ideas left, all I need is people to help me speed up the process. So far it was only proto and Targareyan who regularly helped me out and we still didn't make too much of a progress, considering we are half way through and I began before command blocks even existed that might take a while, unless OFC people help out more actively.

Thats what happens when we all live in different time zones, finding a time when we can all work on a project together is so hard that we usually disband the project.

So I dusted off the old MC and made a little corvette. Unfortunately, my old texture pack didn't transfer over to the new resource pack format and my stuff looks pretty bad in the original colors. So I'm going to have to completely redesign my pack from the ground up. After that, I'm going to make a light frigate based on the Colonial Ranger from BSG fanfiction. Next, I'm going to redesign the Freedom class freighter to something that looks good. Then I'm going to ramp things up and try to finish the Protector class dreadnaught.

Here's a couple photos of the new corvette with someone else's texture pack to tide you over for now:

I built another ship! The Ranger class light frigate.

It's modeled after this guy: http://www.shipschematics.net/bsg/image ... ranger.jpg

Neat. Looks like a patrol ship of some kind.
