Also Avatars are now enables, as illustrated by this post. Securities been updated to require authorization by a "Administrator" or "Moderator" before changes can be made to the forum (precautionary measures to ensue against someone wreaking havoc if they gained illegal access to an admin/mod account.) anything ...

It would be crumbly in solid form (before being melted down and processed) and very heavy before being processed (much like iron ore or some radioactive minerals). After being processed (melted down, separated from other base elements, then cooled) it would take on a silvery sheen, much like a multi-specular surface. It has a very high melting point, and is highly conductive. Thats my take on what Maezygne may look like. How about ...

Are we talking futuristic air-combat technologies, or something within reach of our own technology? While all armies have a 'mother-ship' to return to for resupply, what is the standard ship used in most encounters? Something like a fighter plane, or something bigger? When a ship launches an attack on another ship, does it launch bullet...a missiles...or a SALVO of missiles? Or maybe that all depends on the class of ship? ...

So instead of making a hundred new posts, they can all go here. Starting off, my apologies for everything being so dead lately. Life's just been hectic as hell and well, I'm still trying to regain my artistic abilities. It seems I can't draw any ship designs properly, and my 3D ...

If we follow this approach the game would be low-poly (what some would call "low quality") but still have a relativly nice graphical appeal. We can use a program by the name of VizUp ...

(Though, my abilities with art seem to have left me somewhere along the way :X) Then I realised my scanner doesn't work. As a quick alternative.. Imagine something somewhat like this for the humans. This would most closely resemble a Class 3 ship, a carrier. Imagine hangar openings and runways up top. Ship design fairly similiar, though. The second human army has a much more sleek approach to ship design, ...

As such, were gonna' need a name right? Legalities aside, I think we should compile a list of some sort, or choose out a couple of possible names. That is, assuming of course you like the idea of it at all. Either way, we need a name to release this under anyway (not to mention the game itself needs a name, but we'll have to figure that out later too :X), and I asked about "KriegHeld" ...
