Hmmm, the more time the better in my mind. Although nobody wants to know what's in my mind, so never mind. LOL.

I'd really like it if it was in march. Then I'd have a chance to try out all these ideas floating around in my head, and see which turns out best. 😉

That works for me; I'll be back online with my tower (which has all of my email accounts and all on it) by then. Make it an above-normal priority email so it actually catches my attention when it comes in, otherwise you're likely to have to wait weeks and months for a response like everyone else does. 😉

This topic died, me laughs, lol, I have a problem now. I'm getting Lightwave 3D and I want to do the ship in Lightwave, but I have to learn it. Oh well, I guess I'll just learn it real fast

Hey, is this still happening? It seems to be losing momentum. If it is, is there site yet? I for one would like to see this competition through to the end.

Legion, please reply.

If nothing is done for awhile, I'm actually considering taking over the competition and setting it up myself. However, since the voting will be public, this won't prevent me from entering. 😄

------------------

So...I gather things are just as hazy now as they were the last time I read through this topic. I'm gonna have to scoll back through to read the official rules, but I'd say mid-march sounds good. Some of us, and by us I mean me, have full-time school and a part-time job, plus two bands to play in every week...my messing-around-doing-3D-stuff-time is usually wasted on Aleph One (playing it, not creating anything. How long can you survive Total Carnage in Vulcan, killing enough VacBob's to have 'em turn on you, and never picking up the 3x powerup?)...

So, yeah...to whomever hosts the beast, early- to mid-march would see an entry from myself.

...geeze, I gotta sleep more often.

"Life is to important to be taken seriously."

Wow I can't believe I didn't see this sooner.
I tried to read through the whole thread to make sure I'm not resuggesting anything but it was so long so forgive me if any body already suggested this but I saw one post asking weather this would be an on goin event or just this one time. I like the Idea of every 6 months having submition deadlines of January 1st and July first. That would give lots of time for work between contests I was also thinking that maybe we should go all the way with it and require submissions to be completely functional plugs acompanied by snapshots that could be posted on a website. The Judges could be a panel of veteran beta testers that could try out each ship and evaluate how well it looks in the game and how bug free the plug is (not the a ship plug is all that complicated. It's not like a tc or anything.) then perhaps the top 3 or 5 ships (the contest winning plugs) could be posted for everyone to download and use. Or, Post all the entrys for download and let every one try them out and use them and submit there votes. Like a peoples choice kind of award.

Anyway I'm definitly in. I'm new to Strata but I've got some great Ideas. If I can figure out how to pull them off in time I'd love to submit my ship.

Well, long, dense quote. (but nice screen name).

That would be cool, an ongoing contest, hmm, we likes. Except for one problem, this would take time, somebody could host it continously (I can hear Evula coming), but the people who judged it would have to be top caliber, and nice about it.

Anyway, ship my ship is still in progress...

Aside from the fact that you didn't spell my name correctly, I'm already here. 🙂

I just sent the (url="http://"http://www.evula.net/")evula.net(/url) account details to Legion; I'm sure he'll post here when there is something to post. Yet more words of wisdom from yours truly... I need to go to bed.

Edit: Oh, and a few words about voting: the site will have a board over at my (url="http://"http://forums.evula.com/")Forums,(/url) which allow for polls in topics. I figure that this would be the easiest way of keeping track of voting.

This may get me karma whacked, but I spell your name wrong to annoy you. It seems that if you're so peticular about having it spelled right, I spell it wrong (EBola) lol.

Anyway, tell us when the time comes.
