Ship Models for an Illustrated Deck

Lindy_Hop · Post by **Lindy_Hop** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 2:14 pm

Random question for whoever might know this. Does anyone know of a large collection of Allegiance ship model images and perhaps other in game assets, broken out by faction if at all possible?

An artist friend of mine decided to gift me an illustrated deck of cards and asked me for a concept. Considering how many hours I spent on this game back in my college days, I thought it might be nice to use Allegiance as the theme and pair four factions up with the suits.

Since the major illustrations will probably be only for the Jack through Ace, I am also open to hearing other people's thoughts of which 4 factions would make the cut for their dream deck and which 4 ships/bases should be featured.

I know everyone will have their favorites, so if you have favorites - go with it...it's your deck. I would go with factions that can easily be distinguished so mine would be
Bios
IC
Dreg
TF (not sure about this one because I'm not a fan...maybe Rix?)

Anyway, it is a cool question.

Pics exist on the wiki, and to some extent you could just view the models directly. Depends on what level of detail (/angles) you're looking for. Sounds like a neat project!

IMO it should be Bios, Giga, IC, and Belters as the four suits with the Jack being the Scout, the Queen being the SF, the King being the Fighter, and the Ace being the Interceptor.

Hey Lindy, I could provide some images from the original Microsoft factions. if I were dong this personally that is what I would want anyway. For example I have the images from https://www.freeallegiance.org/allegian ... -factions/ but larger (still not ideal size, but probably big enough for someone to create illustrations from) for all five MS factions.

Likely I'd go with the original four, but could consider swapping one with rix. Maybe use the one not included on the joker art? The large collection you want (aside from what is already on the wiki which may be enough) is what we call the Arisman Codex, but it is huge and has more than just model images. If interested in going with MS factions I can bundle up some images from it and upload them.

Thanks folks,

I think the wiki has most of what I want and depending on what my friend says I might pm you for more AEM.

Personally faction wise I am leaning towards the original 3, Giga, IC, Bios, and am still undecided on the 4th. I am hoping to feature the others on the Jokers with extra Jokers if I can talk my friend into it. I am also leaning towards a non-unified approach to the ship mix so that factions would get ships embolic of them. So Bios might get say SBs, HTTs, a Fighter laying mines, and perhaps a Pod ripping, while IC would definitely have a card reserved for Heavy Ints, Giga would have a spot reserved for an Adv Miner, and Rix if picked would have the classic Destroyer.

Well since he is making it for you, you should try to talk him into also personalizing the backwards( verse?) of the cards, and not only the front images. This way you could probably add more ships.

Although if I was gifted with something like this, I would definetly want that the back of the cards would be all the factions emblems.

The original 4 factions would be my personal choice.
We will need pictures when the deck of cards is done.
Also, I would like to pre-order a couple of decks
