I've decided to give making a total conversion plugin a try, basing it heavily on original Escape Velocity, but using the EVO engine and all it's juicy enhancements. i've got most all the graphics I could ever want (Though I miss the Laertian/Bra'Kell graphics, which I used to have a set of. Anyone got a full set?) but I'm missing something... I need some space stations.
Specifically, I'm looking for a drydock and/or shipyard type pic. Star Trek has the best examples of both, if you need an example. I'd also prefer if the graphic was larger than average (No such thing as too big. I can always shrink it to fit.)
Does anyone have or can make something like this?
Thanks.

OK, finished. What do you think?
You didnt specify any colors so I made it the color that suited best (red). The above image is pretty dark as I used more realistic lighting in it but the ones for the plug-in are much brighter and vibrant. I am quite pleased with this one, being my first station. Has a kind of UE look to it.
Pics for plug-in use can be downloaded here (117k download, compressed as .sit): (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/ewanc/.cv/ewanc/Public/station.sit-binhex.hqx")http://homepage.mac.....sit-binhex.hqx(/url)
If that doesnt work, go to my public folder on my iDisk ( (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/ewanc/FileSharing2.html")http://homepage.mac....leSharing2.html(/url) ). It is available there.
There are two landing pics included. LandingPic-1.pct has the station positioned to the right of the shot incase you wanted to photoshop in a ship on the left. LandingPic-2.pct has the station centred in the pic for use on its own. Up to you really.

Duh. I didn't say i was doing an EV EVO. I SAID I was doing a total conversion plug that had elements similar to original EV. For instance, the Aliens and the Confederation will be there. But the graphics will be different, there will be more races (And no Rebellion. This is a kinder gentler Confederation). Basically I'm going to include little things that harken back to both EV and EVO.

I've been there. The ships don't seem to be there anymore. When click on the links, i get a 'file not found' page.

Excellent! Would it be possible to get it in blue? My Confed ships use Confed Blue quite heavily. If the rings were blue the station would be perfect!

Okay, I've got several ideas:
One is just a large framework, like the one seen in Star Trek the Motion Picture, and re-used and modified for just about every other Star Trek movie. The ship would sit inside and be worked on.
The second is more elaborate. Basically an elaborate spider's web of branching arms, each ending in a contruction rig (of varying sizes).
The third is a modification of the first, except enlarged so that it could accomodate several ships at once.

No problem, I will just run it through fireworks, and change the coloring that way.
OK, there is now a Blue version. This is what it looks like:

Hope this is fine for you.
OK, i'll see what i can do... it may not be for a while though, like maybe a week... i haven't seen STTMP in several years and i don't own it, so i'll have to rent it or something... but i have no money

I don't watch Star Trek so I'm not sure what kind of station you are talking about but if you want I can give this one for a landing pict
Or you here are some of my stations I posted about a year agoin the gallery. I still have the bryce files so their full views can be rerendered for the sprites and this one used as a landing picts Station 1 - (url="http://"http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/stnew.jpg")http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/stnew.jpg(/url) Station 2 - (url="http://"http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/stfull.jpg")http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/stfull.jpg(/url) (url="http://"http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/stone.jpg")http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/stone.jpg(/url) (url="http://"http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/sttwo.jpg")http://www.slavdy.f2s.com/sttwo.jpg(/url)

OK I just re-read your first post, and realised that I hadnt quite gotten what you were meaning. Therefore I remade it for you. Not all of it but I significantly changed the middle section. Have a look:
Hope that fits the spec better. I will upload the landing pics et all when I get back home from work.
how do you make the windows glow.

The second station is perfect. If I can get a sprite of it, it woul be WONDERFUL. Thanks for offering. I'm going to post a lowdown on my plug in a new topic. It's call 'Event Horizon' (Hopefully that name hasn't been taken...
