Vim'Nar Consulate (Need some help with the coloring)

[Skull13]

Okay, so I've been hoarding this fleet for several months now, and I feel that these ships are refined enough. I just want you guys to thank me for this: The color scheme was a harsh yellow and solid purple before now, and that apparently wasn't cool, so I turned down the yellow. Nevertheless, I still have doubts about the color scheme, so I need your thoughts. I'm trying to make the colors as alien as possible! No backstory on this one. The ships just sort of happened. Screenshot time!

First up is the Fre'Naq fighter. So tiny that the turret detracts from the look. (This was made way, way back. I think its not the best, but its part of the fleet, so, yeah):


The Que'Len Cruiser. In my opinion, the best looking ship.


She'Lea Heavy Cruiser:


Vim'Naqa Corvette:


Lea'Ra destroyer:


Some ships, then! C&C please, and if I can fix the colors, I'll get a download up.

Ahhhh wtf is wrong with you what is this ahhhhhh

Okay, got that out of my system. These are not very good ships, and your section choice is horrible and your colourscheme is ugly and there's no goddamn shading on these. Those shades of green are ugly and look brighter than that faded shit brown, and so the depth is all screwy. The shapes are boring and flat, and you should really use more of Kaelis' section packs. Instead you used the flatest of the flat. TSA's sections, the fucking horrible SWA-ised stock sections, Crim_SW sections (why would anyone use those?) and... just... fucking hell.

You're doing it wrong. Your ships lack interesting shapes, interesting internal details, interesting colourschemes and anything else good. I give them a D+.

Last time I uploaded ships, people complained that I used too many kae_mch sprites. I tried to avoid those, but I guess I did so too much.
Yeah... Sorry. Didn't really stack these up against the rest of the forum before making these, and they were sort of more for myself than anybody else. Nevertheless, I'll try harder next time to make better ships.

Sorry for wasting the forums time with this. I'll try again later.

EDIT: In particular, what sort of section packs should I be using?
