Wave XI ship icons

Closed this issue · 17 comments

Wave XI is announced; we'll need ship icons for

  • Auzituck Gunship
  • TIE Aggressor
  • Scurrg H-6 Bomber

Also for the C-ROC:

  • C-ROC Cruiser
  • Container Token (normal and inverted)

I don't think the available images (only "card fans") are good enough to use at the moment. I will get to work when we have revealed ship cards for each ship type.

Scratch the Container Token, looks like it's gonna be a gameplay-placed obstacle like the Debris token. The Jabba card does confirm an Illicit token though so we'll need that and an inverted version.

illicittoken

Is this adequate?

You'll probably want these too...
base
card

Are those images good enough or do you need them flatbed scanned so there is no perspective skewing?

If it isn't, here's a scan:

I think all the necessary icons are available now, but I don't have time to fix them at the time being. Others are welcome to do so, otherwise I will try to get them done when I get time.

Here are a few higher resolution scans of the ship shapes if they help. I'd be happy to create the vector outlines, what app should I use? email me at scott@karchfamily.com and I'll give it a go.

I just took my first go using FontForge. I put the CROC in C, the Auzituck in @ the Aggressor in the tilde ` and the H-6 Scurrg in H. No clue if they will help or not.. feel free to delete or clean up the vector work. Email scott@karchfamily.com to contact me directly

Awesome job, this'll do great for me while waiting on the existing font. I can fix sizing per ship in the app I use them in. :D

Yeah. I think I made them too big. My first time using FontForge.

OK.. I found the TRANSFORM feature to scale the glyph. Here is how they look and an uploaded copy.

Spending more time with the app.. I see how you started the ships below the baseline.. I moved the ships down and to the left to hopefully be more consistent with all the other.. And, now that I look at it, the C-ROC at R doesn't make as much sense as having it at 5 The 5th huge ship.
Attached is a tweaked font.

So just to clarify: C-ROC is "5" ?

Think so. On the update I just uploaded. Croc should be 5 and I resized and reset the baseline on them all.

Here's an example of your new glyphs with the originals. Works great!
