Renzu Redux

[elgeeko]

I've noticed a general distaste towards import ships in my lurking period before becoming active here, and while I sincerely hope to see some of the very talented modelers in the community replace the imports, I figured I could give a partial remedy until then.

I may not be such a good modeler, but I know a bit about textures.
The Homeworld ships seem to have the greatest potential, so Ive started re-texturing the so called 'Renzu' line.
I aimed for a pseudo-Kusari look, but tried to make it appear heavily diluted by the 'independent manufacturer' streak.

Is there a Renzu logo or something similar out there that I could stamp on the hull?

Behold, the alpha version of the Renzu LF (its not finished mind you);


Is there any need or desire for this re-texture/a re-texture of the rest of the homeworld imports?

I'd like to note that this sort of re-texture can be applied via a simple file copy/paste and I'm currently using the above re-texture even as I play online.
If the devs do not wish to package it in an update or if a full replacement ship is expected by that time, then it can be applied by interested players via a separate download.

Questions?
Comments?
Critique?

It's a definite improvement, I'll say that. I don't know what the admin stance on an unofficial retexture would be (one for the better, and not one for a PvP advantage like bright pink.)

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

Yes, I won't release anything until/unless
A; there is enough player interest
B; there is administrator permission

The Devs are trying to replace all the imports completely, so i don't think it's worth the effort to re texture them if they are going to be replaced any way.

i reckon it look better than the original import texture. the white stood out a bit too much, as with all the imports

Well for me it depends... Unless those replacements are coming out by next month I could (in theory) have re-textured them all.
