massive improvement!
just hide the thrusters or set their alpha to 0 to render them invisible.... thrusters are so unsightly

I'm not sure i'm a fan of how the wings move... personally i'd prefer they collapse somehow instead of just rotating. To me when a ships geometry changes when a target is around the ship should move to look more agressive somehow, just rotating them forwards doesn't do that for me. However that's ju...

if you change the angle of the wings you could use them as weapon platforms...maybe make them retract into the main hull of the ship too... that'd be pretty cool... just an idea

the front looks kinda bland... maybe you could color it too? just a suggestion. Your engines and weapons look rediculously over-spammed on the back end if you asked me, to the point that it's confusing on the other hand you did a great job concealing some of the weapons on the middle sections, I'd l...

i'm not entirely sure i explained that quite well enough... so i'll elborate i want a wing on either side of the ship to swing backwards to make it even more streamlined as the ship accellerates kind of how viariable geometry wings on a jet fighter works... is there a way to do that? make something ...

looks vaguely insect-like like some kind of spacefaring bumblebee maybe you want to continue and take advantage of the insectoid feel?

just another shipbuilding question...

is there a way to trigger sections to move based on the speed the ship they're attached to is moving?
think like afterburner nozzles or variable geometry wing systems....
if there is a way how exactly would i do it?

okay lol i feel like an idiot pointing this out but... in the picture of the type XXIC in the 6th post theres a layer error on the Missile rack lowest to the right... it isn't concealed like the others but the ships are amazing, sleek and elegant looking and unlike most of the ships of similar shape...

i myself am no expert shipbuilder but i wanted to say something about your colours red, yellow, turquise and grey are going to be extremely hard to get to look good together. perhaps you might want to consider removing one of them to replace it with a colour that better compliments the others.

i'll give your technique a try thanks :) EDIT TO AVOID DREADED DOUBLE POST: this system works! set the range of the machine gun as the distance you want the ram to activate from the target, crank beam damage and voila! ship saw however this system still does suffer from that weird unsightly extended...

And as to the section packs well i didn't know this is the first time i've posted a ship and i kinda assumed you would have all the packs i did anyways.... but i've been using t...
