I think it could be fun to add the Trek ones too.

As for IDing the alts in use:

Most of the time it's rather obvious or you just have to do some mild detective work in the Custom Alt thread (and risk getting cancer from photobucket)
Though I'l admit that Starcraft fighter one had me stumped. I spent a good long while trying to figure that one out (Cheers XP for doing it for me)

Thats actually a really cool idea.

I ave no clue what a bunch of these alts are meant to be.

Maybe we should ask Phasewing to start that one.. as she's made so many she can probably ID a good number of them?

I can't ID every single one of them, but I can try to.

Do what you can and we'd greatly appreciate it.

As Jack suggested, between all of us we could get the lot as a community project.

Then once it's complete, I'll add the information to the alt list posts at top.

i thought 836 was the ship from Cowboy Bebop?

I think that's one of those "suspension of disbelief" choices because it kinda looks like an X-Wing with the s-foils closed.

Speaking of, this one kinda looks like a Dewback has it been added to the Con list Psych:
310 - - Monster - (Common)

Ill try and update the list from the googledoc tonight with all these great suggestions, and post them here so we can see how many there are of each.

Some of them won't be Star Wars ones, but hopefully they will look close enough that people can still accept them.

Fair enough. Either way, it'd still work for a space based campaign.

Question, does anyone even work on the site anymore? The lay out hasn't seemed to change since before the last apocalypse. I'm pretty sure it's older than the war in Iraq.

Yeah, no.

Back when Ryan popped his head in to shut down the alt loophole a couple months ago there were promises of improvements "coming soon"... I'm not holding my breath.

The adds are why I hate coming here on my phone. Them and the formating for it is beyond terrible.

tl;dr version
It was a thing.
There was much angst.
It's no longer a thing.
The angst though continues.

So a little ninny lost his shyte over alt modes not being right? He had to go and whine about it? And had to go look up other peoples teams and roll through all the con alts? What a little b... And he got called out for having a alt from a different class and never responded it seems...

I wonder if he knows I have a heavy rescue vehicle lion...

Can I please be a mod? It would be fun.

Spaceship class - Spaceship

Just noticed that you are using this alt for your character called The Last Autobot which is a character from the end of the G1 comics who's design inspired the Cybertron character Vector Prime which was then used on here to create this alt mode. You seriously didn't know that or are you having us on?

He's having one on you, it's why I ignored that post. Vector Prime was a main character from Cybertron as I recall.

Either way it's back to TF canon school or troll school for Jack.

There was a site redesign in the works, haven't had an update on it in a while though.

Will it come with a mobile version so the ads don't destroy data? lol

There was talk of a mobile version, but I can't comment about the ads.

For those watching for them, the TIE Fighter is up on the cons alt list currently.

590 Couldn't find this, it's listed as reptile, but if you pretend your eyes hard enough... we could use it as a ysalamir.

Funny you find that. It's my old Flareblitz doodle-turned-alt.
