Alliance Fleet WIP (Mass Effect 3)

[Bones]

Guys ... and girls ... although I duobt we have one around I think you already know what I'm going to say ....

YES, my wonderful HP laptop is down, YES, all but handful of parts could be salvaged for reselling as used parts ... and finally YES, hard drive was not among survivors ...

this leaves me with a TOTAL loss of ALL my WIPs...

I tried as hard as I could to recover at least partial data from the damaged drive, no go this time tho...

I think it is fair to say Jimmy or any other moderator can lock my threads down for I have no chance to recover any of the project at this point

I was so damn close to release bunch of these ... sorry lads

 

[Shadowknight1]

Well, weren't some of these direct from the games themselves?

[Killallewoks]

Such a shame Bones, those re-worked ME ships looked awesome. However things do happen and I hope you find a way.

[moed]

Sorry to hear that Bones. 

Hopefully you can save up and get a new system to start fresh.

Best of luck!

It's the first time I'm not laughing when hearing that 

Yes, ALL of them were direct ports from ME1,2,3  BUT,  some were completely retextured from scratch ... I think  no one will give a F-word if I say FUCK !!!! why didn't it happen AFTER I sent those ships that were beta ready to beta testers 

[Phoenix Bondi]

When u back up and running i'll set u up some server ftp on sfsy and then u can at least keep them backed up, anyhelp you need ill be there

[Bones]

Thx ;) I'll keep that in mind ;)

The answer is: The universe hates modders that take forever. :p j/k

[Bones]

... so much for compassion

 

[Shadowknight1]

Or maybe the Reapers got mad you weren't importing any of them yet and reaped your HD?

In all seriousness Bones, that really does suck a lot.  I love the Normandies and the Turian ships, and was really hoping to have some other ME stuff.

[Bones]

Biggest pity goes to two ships that were completely redone - ME1 Normandy and Alliance Cruiser retextured to ME3 alliance colors ...


Update !!!

I found 'em !!!!!! I've revalledI been testing some of these ships on my brothers PC and I found few ships on his PC - alpha stage tho but it's better than nothing 

Ships I managed to recover

Alliance Frigate - AKA Normandy class frigate (retexture recovered - no alpha channels, alpha stage hardpoints)
Alliance Cruiser - ME3 version (no alpha channels - no hardpoints)
Alliance Cruiser - AKA ME1 Dreadnought (also retextured - no alpha channels)
Asari Dreadnought - AKA Destiny Ascension (game worthy tho it also lacks hardpoints)

....and that's about all ... it's not much compared to the list I had, but it's a start

[Killallewoks]

Excellant news man! 

[Bones]

thank God the most important ships were at brother's PC (tho to me the Collectors cruiser and base were more evenly important but they're gone for now)

I'll need to rip new sounds from ME3, then I have to redo hardpoints and projectiles ... aaaand alpha channels .... and speculars 

all in all it's better than nothing at all  ;)

[Shadowknight1]

Thank goodness!  Make constant back-ups from the point on.  ;)

[Bones]

My bro alraeady done that tho even tho I did recover about 15 % of my WIPs I think it won;t be paranoidt to save remaining files on several memories ;)

[Shadowknight1]

It may be paranoid, but I think in this case, paranoia is justified.  I'd hate for you to end up getting back to where you have everything again and then the worst happens.
