Better than a lot of noob crap. You've avoided a decent number of basic mistakes, like eyeburn, but there's a lot of work to be done before I think this could be called "good". As a general guideline for section usage, right angles are ugly if you don't really know what you're doing. Also,...

parent the weapon to a section below the one you want to hide it under and press W.

For a ship that small, you're probably okay with just gray. If you really want to color it then anything will do that isn't ridiculous eyeburn blue or green.

There are a few right angles that stick out sorely on the Lycus, otherwise these seem great. Consider moving on to bigger projects.

For the most part, the redesign is an improvement, but I have to say I liked the prow more as it was. The armor is a nice addition, and could certainly compliment the old outline as well, but I preferred the older shape and the railguns. It just seemed more original and less repetitive. Consider swi...

Any chance you could post the "Ragnarok" firing? It seems to me that your ship is very in-animate in all of these pictures. In general, I find that most good ships give a sense of being "alive", so to speak; e.g. Jade Martyr comes to mind. To me at least, that's what is missing f...

These newer ships look much better. Section usage is neater and seems like more thought went in, and the colors don't hurt my eyes.

Not too bad, considering what come across this forum sometimes. A few friendly words of advice. The colors are harsh on the eyes. Get rid of the deep blue in favor of something easier to look at, gray is fairly safe for less experienced builders. Your section usage is sloppy in places, particularly ...

Try a simpler color scheme. Grey is a lot easier to work with for the less experienced.
However, I recommend going back to your section usage before you worry about the colors. The body of your ship is still very sloppy.

You seem to have made a lateral move with Panzer. A lot of what was wrong is better, and your new colors/alpha made it just as bad as before. What I think you're going for is interesting, but you should experiment on smaller ships before trying it this big.

Congratulations, you did what thousands of people have been yelled at for, and made it look good. If you can make more like this, I'd love to see them.

By and large, these ships live up to the reputation your name carries. My only criticism is that the Sangreal looks a bit like two ships stuck together. The outline on the front is very smooth and curved, while the rear is full of sharp angles. There also seems to be an overall difference in colorin...

Very nice. I think the glows could use a little work. However I like that you made an unusually shaped ship work well.

Very impressive ship. I'm especially fond of your section usage layered over the large custom ones. The smaller ships are also well done, if I didn't recognize the individual sections their scale wouldn't be obvious. Good job. My only complaints would be the mirroring/symmetry issues (I'm assuming t...
