    Is there any way to enter this without the use of something powered by facebook? I'm boycotting ever using facebook again because of their support of a certain political bill that infringes on peoples rights.

    EDIT: nvm I just found the sign up part that doesn't involve facebook

    I was thinking of creating one of those free forums. They allow BBCode image hosting. In fact I will do that this weekend and change the link. :biggrin:

    Because I will need some sort of Polling system for the community to vote with.

    Is the original thread's contest still on? Or will this replace it?:eek: Gosh Darn it, I've spent about 3 days on my entry, and 10 hours with art for my "big idea thinker" brother. O well, at least I designed a fighter for his carrier cruiser. Great idea for a contest by the way, it wou;d be pretty cool to do this every othe month.:smile:

    I will certainly try to my brother. I am sorry for the change. I thought I should have a theme. The original thread is off. Keep your design though. Because I am changing the theme every month. Sometimes I will have 'open' designs where you can submit anything. :smile:

    Actually, Nagus made one of those a few days ago, I'm certain he'd let you use it!

    You'd have to show designs of all your current stuffs then we can say if you are eligable or not.:biggrin:

    No not at all, especially if you enter a design for a future ship :biggrin:

    In fact I'd be honored if one of the Dev's joined in. It would be a great learning experience for us all.

    I remember doing contest's on 99designs.com and having my a@# handed to me. I sure did learn a lot about designs and customer needs.

    Hey anyone think 1 aft weapon is overkill for a fighter?

    I think it's great what you're doing here, spektre, keep it up.

    Even though your first contest got buried in the Archived Threads, it's very nice to see you attempting to keep it going. (Especially for the simple fact that YOU are the one funding it.)

    I would love to participate, but it would only be in sketch form, since my primary comp is just about 6'under. I look forward to seeing the submissions! Good luck all!

    Black and white sketches are fine. Your final renders can even be in black and white. When I say 'sketch', I mean something you would throw down on a napkin or scratch paper. i just want to see the design evolution of your ship and also to make sure you are the one doing it because all artists have their own 'style' it would be easy for someone like me to see what is yours and what is not.

    Anyways..no worries, just send something in.


    Keep in mind guys I will be starting a free forum just so we can post code images. That will be up tomorrow so don't send anything to that contest site link I provided.

    :biggrin:

    Is the runabout considered a 2 person vessel? Does it have to have a narrow, slick cockpit meant for a at max 2 hour dogfight or can it also be meant to serve as a very short range patrol vessel? Anyone have any :cool:Console ideas yet? Since my initial scetch was a flying wing integrated body design, I was going to do a "Excess Particle Ejection Stream" Basically ejectiing a combination of space debri such as ice crystals bolstered by other exotic reflective debri found in warp at a flat, 2 dimmensional stroke. The reflective debri makes visual contact impossible, and greatly limits sensor penetration, and some exotic particles are known to leech energy when disturbed by impulse wakes.:smile:Overpowered? Is this for a personal craft or carrier? becuase I could see 20 of these trails being annoying:biggrin:!

    No worries, I am hosting a contest every month and the theme changes so save them. And you don't need models, drawings on paper or digital paints work too.:D

    Sorry... stuff came up and "Fighter" is a deceptively hard thing planning thing to go with. Everything I tried ended up looking too much like a shuttle or a romulan warbird. :P

    It is possible for next contest to recieve also hand made drawings? I can handle hand draw or 3D modelling, but hardly both at same time D:

    WE ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT THAT IMPERFECTIONS MAKE US UNIQUE...
