Wyrdysm Games

All you need is an image editor, like MSpaint, or Paint.NET. The game will rotate the gun on a fixed pixel, which should be in the middle of the sprite. This can't be changed AFAIK.

First off, mockup missiles.
Second off, triggers that lower the alpha of the mockup missiles each time the weapon fires, or only once.

Does that answer your question?

The current version is 0.90d. You'll want to update first, then see if the error persists.

These ships are a lot better. Decent section palette, interesting colors (maybe a bit dark, but it works),... Good job overall, though the shapes may be a bit cliché. But that's a minor nitpick.

Bamp

A third destroyer has been added. C&C much appreciated on all three of them.

What you should do is find a top down picture or schematic of the ship you're trying to make, and use it as your background. It needs to be .bmp, mind you. But that's easily converted in mspaint.

That's fairly accurate actually. Good job. Can't deny that the thing itself is ugly as fuck, of course.

I'm liking what I see here. Small, playable fanships and dang, they look good too. If you haven't found what's off on the Akira yet, I think it's the nacelle struts. On the Akira, those are swept back and widen slightly towards the nacelles. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

Technology Report The technology and science of the Intergalactic Alliance were incredibly advanced, benefiting from the accumulated cultural and scientifical history and viewpoints from thousands of different species. It is best comparable and in some ways superior to To'Hol Venaari technology, ye...

Bump for posterity, and with some new WIP content. Tell me what you think.

The problem with many of those suggestions is that there may not actually be enough room in the SM menu bar to add all those features.

AFAIK it's "no ships, no thread".

@Kelvin: without screenshots, 80% of this board's users isn't going to take the trouble to DL your ship. Posting screenies is in your best interest, really.

To be fair, I really don't like these ships. Your section palette looks odd to me, and the ships themselves are fairly cluttered. The shapes don't really appeal either. On the last ship, you've mixed a darker inner structure and straight, angled sections with a lighter outer structure and curvy sect...

Yeah, sure. In fact, I'm working with a list of weapons similar to the one in the metagame. But I'll post some tech fluff too.

Added two frigates, the Amazon and the Belyxia. I've added some doodads on the Silent Watchman, I'll post a new picture soon. I'm leaving the Swift Intendant's core as it is, it's as I intended. There is no fluff behind this, it's simply a design feature. EDIT: whoops, forgot the Belyxia's core glow...
