These vids were a TON of fun to watch.  Thanks for sharing, and thanks for all the effort that went into them!

Thank you so much :) I’m really glad you’re enjoying the series. I’m currently working on the next episode, and it’s gonna be fire ;) 

Absolutely!  With tech available now, redoing that entire vid could make it EPIC.  The original always struck me as jerky and grossly lacking in the physics dept.  Use the voiceover, use the ideas, but the flights would DEF be better reconstructed as opposed to merely scaled.  The paths would be great to echo... esp. that gloating spiral after the initial attack... but cleaning up the movements and physics, and possibly some of the flat view angles, would take that vid from interesting to enthralling!
Wish there was a way I could support that.

I couldn’t agree more! Without spoiling too much, I love SMAC’s planes, and there’s some exciting aerial action coming in future seasons (though not yet in Season 2).

Will do ;) So far, I'm ahead of schedule on the next episode, and it's coming along nicely. The fall premiere is firmly in sight.

Here’s a look at the (re)design of the U.N.S. Unity.

The video covers the original design as seen in the game’s media, gives an overview of some of the design decisions I made for this new version... and even includes a short nerd-rant about the canonical details of Unity's launch date at the end 😅

Well done video. I think my most favored part of the redesign is the section with the supply pods, ready to 'scatter' at command.

Thanks! I just had to feature the supply pods in the design, they're such a huge staple of the early game. Really glad you noticed and appreciated that detail :)

In the years since our arrival, we have foolishly disrupted so many of Planet's ecosystems that entire species may vanish without our ever having understood, or even known them. We must halt this plunder, and halt it immediately, for our own survival as a species depends on our ability to strike a balance on this world.
