Concept Art from the Space Themed Planet Partner

Space is a week away and there is all sorts of speculation on how it will be implemented, how travel will work, what the cost will be, etc...
We found out today that TPs will for sure be turned OFF, and that we will no longer be able to bid or retrieve items from Auction on other planets.

I think that the actual price for travel will be lower than the current tp fees between planets, but that there will be a hassle of finding a flight, and the risk of traveling through PVP.  Cost is one thing, MU is another. The owners of the spaceships and hanger owners etc.. will need to be able to charge more than their actual cost in order to recoup the high prices they have and will pay for their assets. I guess we will find out the reality next week.

Now for the Concept Art from Theryon Wars.
First posted by Ordaz on Entropia Planets in this thread.

Their ships look pretty cool, and I am excited to see what else they have in store for us. They aren't scheduled to release till Q4 of next year, but it seems like they are already a very busy studio.

Here is the reprint of his post, Enjoy. (right click on the pictures and select 'view image,' they are actually very high resolution images)




Hi all!

There have been comments and questions, both publicly and in private, since The Interview because of which I've asked our friends of EntropiaPlanets' Staff for some help. They've been kind and resourceful as always, and this is what we've come up with.

This is the first thread of a small series where we're bringing you, as exclusive news at EntropiaPlanets, a bit of the content being developed for Theryon Wars (T:W).

I should add a disclaimer...
What you're about to see are concept pictures and 3D models not yet in-game.
They do not represent the final quality of the finished assets, don't include materials or effects available in the Entropia Universe client and could be changed and improved before Planet Theryon becomes available for playing.
Also, these are high-resolution images which can take a while to load depending on your connection speed (bandwidth/ throughput).

No names or precise attibute values will be provided at this time.

Please, comment and ask as much as you want. I'm not a community manager; I have loads of tasks and duties and I hope you'll understand I can't drop by the forums as often as I'd like to. Don't get mad at me if it takes me a while to reply... or if for legal or technical reasons I can't give you all the answers.

Now fasten your seatbelts...

This is a fighter-sized, single-seat, high-speed, long-range ship.
You could say 'deep space interceptor' for short (^_^)

Now here you have a couple of shots of the 3D model, without textures or materials:

With Space about to reach us (or the other way around) I thought this could be a good starting point. It'll take some time until you can put your hands on these ships of ours, but I'm willing to read what you think of them.

I want to thank once again EntropiaPlanets' Staff and all the community for making this such a nice, friendly and active site for all Entropians and Planet Partners alike.

There will be some three or four more 'Eye Candy' threads in the next weeks, stay tuned!
