YAY!
but I too am concerned about lag- I use my laptop to play and it's not really a games-machine... if textures and dynamic lighting could be toggled off I'd be a lot more confident...

Particles cause client lag, so its down to your computer, maybe make it switchable or have a frame rate cap, or both.... Cant see them removing just because your computer cant cope... (I'm only on dual 1ghz p3 with voodoo 4 so I cant see that its going lag anyone much) Those ships are great I like the psuedo 3d effect they have and with the new client I expect they'll look really professional and will be a great boost. I hope you can do something about some of the ingame physics too (ships turning from the middle, bullets etc...) ~ferret AMD Athlon 3000+
My computer can cope just fine, I was making the suggestion for the people who CANT cope with the lag, of course I assumed that it was server-side, but i was wrong so ignore me.

Could my models come in handy by any chance? (Such as the DF)

Crap. 2D is the way to go for SS.
Are you accepting player models?

Rember everyone just because the game client is 3-d dosen't mean the player view is 3-d. It just makes everything look better, run better/faster etc. U can have a 2-d player view with a 3-d client.

It's easy to make 2D look better than 3D so without an actual 3D game the models are pointless.
