No, not all repetition is bad. It can be done well, if you know what you're doing. This is bad repetition, Grenville. Don't start talking nonsense like that until you've actually made a ship worth looking at. Then, maybe people will care what you think on matters of aesthetics in shipbuilding, eh?

I disagree. I think the repetition here isn't that bad. It kinda lends a bit of depth to the ship, if you ask me.

The repetition could have been avoided, if you ask me. But I'll agree with Verminator - it isn't too bad at this stage, gives a sense of depth.

Nice to know you disagree. You're wrong too, but your input is appreciated.

The repetition on the "Pocket Battleship" is quite bad, particularly at the rear. The other ships could be better done with some section variation, but it's not really excessive repetition, so I can forgive it.

I probably concur about the back of the PB. I suppose that could be redone. Otherwise, nothing major.

The goat didn't like that joke. It says, "nah."

Anyway, the ship designs themselves are good, but I personally don't like the color scheme.

some ships have unnecessary repetition of sections that quite frankly could be better done with other sections.

Oh my god! More than 2 parts are the same section! RUN AWAY!

No we don't. And I'm not sure why anyone should listen to you because you've yet to make a half-decent ship.

The Elbe Class Freighter.

Do you have something against colors that aren't lightyears away from each other on the color wheel? :/

Actually that isn't as bad as the superman colors.

i don't have a problem with colours being far away on the colour wheel its just to me that they don't look quite right, but i'll try and improve the colour scheme next time.

Yes but it just isn't very pleasing to the eye yet.

Looks rather good, just keep listening to the more experienced members of this forum and you should do just fine.
