![Another Ship Remake.](http://www.epochstar.com/image-archive/Ultimate_Unwrap_3D_Screen_Shots/Large_Engine_Goth_ship_with_engine_above_ship_body.jpg)
I remodeled and retextured another ship. These new ships not only look better, but have significantly less polys than the old one. Typically I can cut the number of faces to about 1/3 of what they were before. I hope there is a performance boost to match. [smile]
![More Bad Guys](http://www.epochstar.com/image-archive/Ultimate_Unwrap_3D_Screen_Shots/Large_Goth_painted_green_with_decals.jpg)
Here are a few enemy ships I've put together recently. I used a base layer, and applied both Dark and Light green color layers.

I've been working on an Image Archive for the Epoch Star website. Basically it's a place for me to dump pictures of ships I'm not using so I don't feel like they were a total waste of my time... so many of them... suck... so bad.

johnhattan has been quite persistant about his view that our last ship model is a rip-off of Astro-Boy.
Judge for yourself:
I personally think John has spent just a little too much time watching cheesy Anime, but that's just my opinion [smile].

Johnny's been working with Day Dream to fine tune his texturing skills. Here is the fruits of his newly aquired skills.

Day Dream was in the mood to show off some of his texturing abilities so he took the time to retexture and render one of Johnny's ships:
![Epoch Star v0.65.01 on GDS](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
I just put out v0.65.01 of Epoch Star. The new version is getting a bit large (31 MB), but I'll work to get that under control. Most of the ships I've been posting to this journal are now in the game as well as a few engine upgrades.
Enjoy [smile]
Enjoy [smile]
![Just Finished Reading the new Harry Potter book](https://uploads.gamedev.net/profile/photo-thumb-51733.jpg)
I give "Harry Potter and the Half Bloow Prince" My personal thumbs up. The ending is a bit of a downer, but I loved the book. I'll refrain from any more spoilers.[wink]

This base texture is inted to look much more organic. I think I did a decent job on it.
Any thoughts? [smile]
