Salutations Gillbo, you ole space pirate. Great to see you posting about Starshatter. You were instramental in getting me interested in modding the game. Great fun. I always kept your fighter mod available on my old starshattermods site.

If you can... download and check out my SOLCOM mod and see how your old protege developed as a modder. I think you will be proud.

Welcome, Gilbo!

It appears as though you are the equivalent of my grandfather when it comes to modding apprenticeship. I always wondered if Wdboyd taught himself or if he had someone teach him in the same manner as he has taught me do much. In any event, it is great to have you as a member here.

Yes, Gillbo helped and encouraged me during my fledgling attempts at getting my own fighter and attack craft into the Starshatter game. I still remember how intimidated I was at using the games Magic 3D modeling progam. Man was I ever a noob. I used Gillbos' craft .def files as references for my own creations. Gillbo created his own craft and textures. In that regard he is more accomplished than I am, even today. I purchased most and 'borrowed' some of the models and textures I presented in my mods. I was always more interested in defining or coding the performance of ships and weapons for Starshatter than in actually 'creating' from scratch the craft and their textures.

An exception to this was the work I did with you in your Renegade Legions mod for Starshatter. I put together the models along with the textured for them. They represent my actual ability in model creation. OK, but not first class by any means. Modeling and texturing were never my strong points.

Keep Em Flying Commanders.
