Ahoy everyone!
This topic is where I'm going to post news and details about future ship packs from now on.
It's mainly to keep things in one place, as opposed to making a new topic for each pack.
So anyway, here is what I've got planned for the next ship pack:
EDIT: Please note, this pack will be released for both PotC and CoAS, though content will vary between games.
Also, I plan to release two versions for PotC: a 'Full' version including the Xmas pack, and a 'Lite' version for those who already have the Xmas pack.
Christmas Ship Pack Content (for the full version only):
This is to be included for the sake of making it available to the ModDB community, without renaming that pack or waiting until next Christmas!
Below is the contents for both the full and lite versions of the pack.
New ship models:
Update2: The pack has changed quite a bit, with a couple of models omitted due to more time needed to work on them.
This includes the improved Black Pearl rigging, the Raa frigate, a few of pgargon's ships, and a some of Craiggo's detail work.
Apologies if this is a disappointment for anyone, but the pack needs to be released this week, before I go back to college next week, so sacrifices were made to keep it on time.
Please note that the CoAS release will probably be delayed after the PotC release, as the porting may take a while.
