ahem so...about those ships. To put it simply, nobody builds titans like you do. Occasionally we'll see some other fantastic big ships, but nobody consistently churns out beautiful, gigantic ships like you do. The Rephamis is awesome. That is all. I love that spiky ship in the upper right, but moar ...

To be honest, I hate it. I don't really like the overall shape, some of the section usage is really bad (especially in those wings), I hate the engines. Not nearly as good as the last two ships.

you've very quickly become my favorite non-SWS shipbuilder. The smoothness of the circles, the color gradient, the overall shape. This is awesome.

I'd love to see a shipbuilder picture of the Juggernaut, can't make out a lot of detail in the given screenshot. For the fleet as a whole, I just want to reiterate how awesome it is. There is literally nothing I don't like about these ships. They've got great shapes, the internal construction is gre...

I haven't seen anybody do this yet, and I just came up with it while messing around with Tachyons. You can give tachyons a really short lifetime and have a cool kind of blast effect at the base of a beam. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/xphoenix87/BFscreen0162-1.jpg weapon|Tachyon|45|2|27|66|1...

*update* I'm working on coming up with a backstory for these ships, but I've got a fleet name for them. Anyway, new ship. It's significantly bigger than the other two, and significantly more powerful than a Do'Rylus Warmonger. (Yes, I know it's shaped like a Star Destroyer. No, I don't care.) The Ar...

Honestly, I feel like you're getting worse and worse as you go on. The Vassago and the Abraxas are easily the best ships in this fleet. The Oriax, Leraje and Asag are very good, though not as good as the first two. The Azazel is alright overall, though it lacks the internal polish of the earlier shi...

yes. yes much better, but i must nitpick and say that the section 25 you are using for the back middle exhaust should be flipped. Just a minor thing.
Thanks. Fixed

Outlines are way too flat. They need some bumps OR curves to be interesting; straight lines are not. This last ship, doesn't even look like a ship. I tend to agree about this last one, I really wasn't ecstatic about the final result. I'm having a tough time really pinning down the feel I want for t...

These really are fantastic ships. The overall shape is nice, the outlining is very good and gives them a great sense of depth, the weapon placement is excellent, and the doodad work is really top-notch and separates it from a lot of the other ships out there. In all, very nice work.

I didn't say they fit the ship, I just said they looked cool. In fact, I explicitly said that the ship felt disjointed and the elements didn't fit together well.

There are a lot of elements here that are cool. The feathers, for example, are really well done and give a really cool effect. However, as a whole, it's very disjointed. The front and the back really don't mesh at all, you really could just chop the front off than have a ship. The coloring is terrib...

Long awaited update. I've finally added a second ship to this fleet. I'll post some more details and some pictures of it firing when I have more time, but I just want to get this out there and see what people think about it.

Now make one with the Belgian tricolor \o/! Gives new meaning to the term "flagship" The ship shows alot of detail work which is nice. Almost wish you didnt put thruster modules on top of the engine but it works out ok I think. yeah, there's really no getting around the fact that thruster...
