Ship Design Templates Available

[colringbk]

I have a bunch of blank templates of several different ship designs. I have put all of them in a compressed zip folder that I can email you if you would like these templates. Some of the files are .jpg and others are .pdf files.

Just pm me with your email address and I can send these off to you for free.

Which designs do you have? I already have the ones from the ship design contest.

[colringbk]

Yeah, its those. I don't have any new ones.

I remember seeing photos of someone's homemade hot-air balloons. Did he have a template? Were any sort of rules for balloons ever made, by the company (I read they were considering it toward the end) or a fan?

Yeah, I designed the template for the balloon, though I got the design idea from an old image I saw of a combination of the Rocketmen spaceship and a 2-master ship. Its in there. I don't know of any rules for it though.

WK was never considering airships for the game. That was 100% player-based speculation and rumors. A number of different people have come up with ideas for the ability, but there has never been a consensus.

One of my friends designed a template for a 5 mast sub. It was waay cool!

I searched the fora for "balloons" but didn't come up with much; I'm curious about what people came up with.

Got any pics?

[colringbk]

Airship was another name for the design. Try that, too.

[mastercommander]

I'm looking...they're buried in files on my computer.

Unlocked...

And, I'd like to announce that these are available again. I lost the folder in which these were in and I've gotten a lot of requests for them. So, if you still want them, pm your email and I'll send them to you. They will be in 2 .zip folders.

In the folders are templates for:
1 mast schooners
2 mast square rigs
3 mast square rigs
3 mast rig with jib sail (?)
4 mast rig with jib
5 mast ship
Canoes
Windcatcher
Turbine
Longship
Airship (custom design build)

I'm just curious, do you know how these templates were made? The idea of making some custom templates sounds fun.
