Finally got around to updating website

Launched my first Full Thrust website just over a year ago. The site focused
mainly on the FT based rules for the Babylon 5 Project Earthforce Sourcebook.
Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to keep the site updated with new
stuff.

Since then, I've been working on a few things as time permitted and decided to
create a whole new site (also, my ISP that's hosting the old site got bought
up and will now be charging for web space).

The old site: http://www.cyberramp.net/~njp/ft/

The new site: http://members.tripod.com/NathansFTSite/

What's on the site: FTMAP counters for NAC, NSL, FSE, and ESU covering all
ships in the Fleet Book (although Thomas Heaney's look very good) SSDs for
some of the variants mentioned in the notes of some ships in the fleetbook
(NAC only at the moment)

Future updates will include background material covering Japan for the
GZGPedia (background, ship designs and counters)

Check it out, let me know what you think. I hope you find it useful.

Thanks,

> What's on the site:

These are nice, good for ftmap as they have the right level of abstraction in
their design. I thought they might be simple 3D models, but I suspect they
were done by hand? Describing the techniques used would be interesting.

Yours are the full monty fleet wise though.

Thanks!

Did them by hand using Micrografx Designer and Picture Publisher. I did the
NAC fleet first by looking at the Geo-Hex web page pictures (I started
before the Fleet Book came out). Once I got the Fleet Book, the ESU, NSL and
FSE were quicker to do.

I would draw a large picture of the ship using basic shapes, add some texture
or color, some boxes that were white on one side, black on the other
to give it some depth (highlighting/shadowing) and then shrink to scale
with the other ships.

Time consuming, but I think they look good enough to tell one class from
another.:)
