Early reports are being transmitted to PCS and EB fleet leadership by their respective Intelligence units regarding the newest threat to .space. The Jade Empire is emerging from dark regions of the galaxy in an unprovoked quest for power. Border (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

(...) Deadly. I'm working on a Jade Empire model myself. This ship looks like pure and deadly evil! I think it could use a little more green though. It is the Jade Empire after all. But, as usual, you continue to stun me with your outstanding skill (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I was going to compliment you on such a cool sand-purple ship...but then I realized it wasn't sand-purple. Judging from the Fett torsos, it appears to be a mix of dark-grey, light-grey, trans-green and (I think) sand-green? I thought maybe it (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) In the beginning, it was largely based off Lenny's Elefant and Steve's Sinicus, but obviously I needed to take liberties and work on my own style for the theme. The cockpit portion of the ship is vaguely similar to the style of Keith's current (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Remember that the Elefant was not designed as an original Jade Empire ship. They buy it from the Eastern Block, so while the color scheme was tailored to their tastes, the physical construction should not be considered representative of the (...)

Hey Ryan, this little Jade empire number is pretty sweet. It looks like it was inspired by your cylon-p38, with a little podness thrown in for good measure. The use of the dino-tails was a nice flavor to help set it apart as a JE construct. Upon (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Ryan, this thing is amazing. I've been pretty heavy into lurker mode as of late, but I had to give kudos for this one. The flow of the wings matched with the organic nature of the dino tails gives it a great look. Very contrasty and clashy but (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Oh, I know Elefant wasn't an original Jade Empire manufacture. Doesn't change the fact that they have some sort of ties to the Eastern Block, and thus might incorporate some design aspects into their ships. My thoughts, anyways. Chris posted (...)

(...) Thanks Keith. If there's any C-38 in this moc, it wasn't intentional. :) But I do sort of see it, especially when looking from the rear. Don't worry about the colors. I'm not! I'll be doing light gray and green sometime, too. They all work (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Excellent work, Ryan Ah, would that such pieces were available in sand-purple... I'm guessing that your Mac at school isn't calibrated, as I'm seeing the same sand-purple and gray on my Mac that others are seeing. This could be a trick of the eye, (...)

(...) On the basis that China and the U.S.S.R. used a lot of the same equipment, that makes a certain amount of sense, but I'd prefer to see a lot more oriental influence on the design (otherwise it's just swapping red for green). Speaking of which, (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
