*Points at octorok and says: Dude, you need a QPF.*

The A-Wing and Snowspeeder are freaking sweet, dude.

But that X-Wing looks more like a Z-95 Headhunter. The underside laser cannons need to be larger and placed closer to the topside laser cannons, because now, they look like minuscule backup cannons.

That's what they are.

Thanks everybody for the positive response ... these are a LOT of fun to make, however time consuming. Like - I should be in bed no with my wife right now haha. But anywho, LiH yeah I'm going to make the "arrow" item be the blaster and the "bow" be the level 1 and level 2 blasters. Confusing, but it looks better when you receive "upgrades" and stuff. And yes the rupees are "credits" and it "costs" money to shoot your gun... I've been talking to CastChaos about what to start the character out with and I want to do something different but don't want to make it a hassle, cause I know most people don't like to go too long without a sword, so I'm not sure. I just don't wanna give Link his lightsaber at the first chance, I want him to struggle a small bit.

Here's some more eye candy ...The Rebel Y-Wing Fighter. ENJOY!



PS ... I'm feeling like something bigger this next time, maybe like the Slave 1. I dunno. I'm running out of smaller ships. Maybe a Tie-Fighter? Any suggestions or requests??

What about a Star Destroyer (If it's called "Star Destroyer" in English, too...)? Or... the Death Star?!

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

I think it's called Star Destroyer, yes... But... That is, if you mean those big ships...
Though, the Death Star could be fun too... Atleast as a backround... Like, you're ona mountain top, and you can see the universe behind it. With star and so on... That'd be cool.

[The Satellite]

Yes, it's called a Star Destroyer in English.

Also, that Y-Wing's lookin' sweet.

That's what they are.

That image is not a canonical X-Wing, and wherever you found it, it's not accurate. Watch the original trilogy again: Real X-Wings don't have those backup cannons underneath. Also, view the pictures (and read the article) on Wookieepedia, the official Star Wars online encycopledia:

http://starwars.wiki...ing_starfighter

X-Wings only have four laser cannons. They don't have those minuscule ones. And if any of them do, they aren't on the famous X-Wings Star Wars nuts (like me) know and love.

But if octorok wants the minuscule ones, then he keep them.

Everyone forgets about ion cannons. TS, the belief that the X-Wing has no secondary cannons is incorrect; you don't see see them as much, but the ion cannons are X-Wing attachments. If you played Rouge Squadron on the N64, they're used in the Kessel train mission. However, due to graphical limitations of the N64, you don't see them anyway.

Also, I the rotational ion cannon on the top of the Y-Wing that is missing, as well as the Astromech droid slot. See for yourself.
(Yes TS, I used the same site for reference.)

Well, I was not aware, but I was aware of the secondary proton torpedo cannons, in the nose of the ship.

Hey, I've played Rogue Squadron, but I've played Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike (its sequels) more, so that's how I know alot about the ships.

Also, I the rotational ion cannon on the top of the Y-Wing that is missing, as well as the Astromech droid slot. See for yourself.

I think there is a droid slot, just unoccupied. That round metal part behind the cockpit.

But you're right, the ion cannon on the Y-Wing is missing.

Also, to octorok:

Try spriting one of these, an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer. And if you have the time, it could make an awesome and MASSIVE level.

Yeah I saw the smaller ion cannons on well it seemed like more pictures of X-Wings than the pictures without them - so I decided to attatch them.

Yeaaaaaaaaah ... I found a few pics that depicted the Y-Wing without a Astromech droid and the rotational ion cannon was actually positioned behind the cockpit (where the astromech droid is supposed to go) so I wasn't sure if it was a different type of Y-Wing (apparently they have different kinds somehow). So actually the rotational ion cannon is there, it's just in place of the droid.

I'm actually planning on at the moment (although subject to change haha) that the end level/dungeon be an overworld all it's own or at least most of an overworld. I know that sounds crazy for how big it is, but I thought it sounds neat maybe to make the boss' ship be the last dungeon and you jump up into it with force jump (raft) before it takes off and you have to find the boss and destroy him. It would be a big explorable ship interior, which would be neat to walk around in.

And I'm sorry but there's no way I can sprite a gigantic Star Destroyer. If I did one it would probably be a small one (seen from a distance) in a cutscene, or visible into the stars from on top of a mountain.

I was thinking of doing the Slave 1, because I really want Boba Fett in the game. That would probably be the biggest ship I could sprite possibly. I mean it is a fairly large ship. Half the size of the Millenium Falcon it seems ... however I'm not sure. Plus everybody loves Boba Fett and the Slave 1, right??

Anyway ... here's a shot of my absolute favorite ship in the Star Wars universe, the Moldy Crow. It's from the Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series. The ship that Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors (shown for scale) would fly on all sorts of missions. It's so beat up looking, and it's a neat ship I think personally. I am a huge fan of the Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series, so it's by far my favorite ship. The ship that came afterwards is called the Raven's Claw, but this is Kyle Katarn's first ship. Check it out:



Information on the Moldy Crow with a picture for reference

Personally I'm not very proud of how the Moldy Crow turned out, I think it should've maybe been a little bit bigger in scale, and the wings look like crap. And the color was just pure HECK to mess with. Plus I couldn't find a decent picture of it to go off of. I found two pictures but they both were completely opposite each other it seemed. But it was a lot of fun to do, and sorta challenging with all the dirt and wore down look it has to it. I think the NPCs of Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn turned out pretty good too even. I wouldn't mind doing a quest completely revolved around Kyle Katarn, I think that would be pretty neat. Oh well, lemme know what you guys think of it!

Woah. These ship sprites of yours are so amazing. I love them. My favourite is the Moldy Crow, followed closely by the X-Wing.

It looks all brilliant. I can't wait for you to finish. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!! I didn't like how the Moldy Crow turned out that much but oh well, as long as other people enjoy it.

Yeah next hopefully will be the Slave 1.

UPDATE:

here it is - the SLAVE 1:

This one took a lot of time to do, as all the stupid wear and tear detail I had to put on it. I think it turned out relatively well, however I think it may need to be a bit larger, and the back brown part doesn't curve correctly so it just looks like a big whale almost. And I'm not too fond of the guns. Anyways lemme know what you guys think!

It's the perfect weathered... spaceship? Slave-1? I don't remember it from the movies, but I love this weatheredness and otherwise AMAZING, too! As well as... Boba Fett. Yes it is he. Like the upgraded version of my Vile sprite what of course you haven't seen yet.

You are a wonder sprite artist. *hands golden medal to Octorok*

[ElLibertador]

Dude no it's Jango/Boba Fett's ship. AWESOME!

Dude, I've got 2 words for you... Holy crap! I wish I could draw like that. I especially like that Moldy Crow. I don't remember it from the movies, but damn! It looks amazing!

[octorok]

Cool, the Moldy Crow is the ship that Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors fly in the Dark Forces games. Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast ... it's a really neat looking ship, it's one of my favorites.

Anyway, I think I'm done making ships for now, I think I'm gonna start working on tiles for my overworld to see if I can make it more "non-zelda-ish" lol
