Hi, TG has almost finished and we were thinking about next round.

We were going to ask for The Eye a while back, but thats a bit slow (40 mins per turn) so is it possible to speed it up to maybe 20 mins per turn?

If not then can Pleiades be reset, thats a good galaxy and not too slow

Hard

We decided to change client codebase in radical way to support Vista - we are moving to XNA now.
There are a lot of programmers and no artists

Can anyone draw concepts for space ships?

I did reset to Pleyads, anyone can register. Turn will start tomorrow, after 15:00 server time (GMT +2).

Sorry, I am terrible at art. I wish I wasn't...I have lots of ideas but just cant draw anything well

Try www.gamedev.net some of the artists there are amazing, also some artists have there own sites and you can find them there.

Not sure if you want free help or paid artists, some will help for free, but alot of the good ones will want paying probably

What sort of quality are you after?
