Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!
Well here it is..... I gave up 4/5 the way through and finally admitted defeat to a ship of this size......... an asymmetrical ship like this cannot be done. There is just too few pieces to create a ship without it looking like a spammy mess.... here is the end result (also colours are terrible, but like i said no custom pallete = same colours over and over.
As you can see, towards start of the ship, i just spammed sections as i gave up.... My colouring is horrible, and i can see no way how to fill in the "space" between the major compartments
This was its fighter
And corvette....
Ill probably start with a smaller more detailed fleet this time
An asymmetrical ship of that size could be done, someone here could probably make one with no problem. It's good for a try, even though you stopped at it.

Yeah it could be done... I just find it to be such an extremely long process
It is a difficult process. I find it takes me several days or even a few weeks to make a titan because I keep redesigning it in my mind or getting stuck and having to take a break. Don't try to do it all at once. Maybe ask Seraph for some advice, him and spoot are the ones who consistently make ships that big.
Still, a few interesting parts like the sensor domes on the sides, but you could seriously do better for the engines and a few other parts if you look around more. I like how you gave it fighters though, and asymmetry is always good.

yeah thats exactly my problem, i get an idea and quickly make the outline shape of it, then get stuck making random segments inside of it
Sorry to hear about this chuck. Like jwa said, don't give up.. it takes a few days if not weeks, redesign it in your mins and retry. On the up side, I really like the look of the Fighter and the Corvette. I think those are really awesome ships. The Fighter subtly remind me of a Hestia/Hestia Alpha, and the Corvette is just plain mean looking. Very nicely done. The only thing I think corvette could use improvement in, is may be more work on balancing the front and back parts to be a part of the same look. Though both sections look good, it just seems like they are parts of two ships.. that's just my opinion though.
Have you looked at my Fourth Revision SI Crusader? I had a hell of a hard time getting that thing put together and now I'm making ANOTHER supership, possibly the same length, and I'm stumped at what I should put in it before I arm it and add other details and stuff. I could say myself that I'm pretty decent at making ships, but I'm not good enough to be very proficent at making them look OMGWTFPWN like Seraph does.

Thank for the feedback everyone. Im trying again on a ship, working from the inside out, not going onto the next segment till im perfectly satisfied. Wish me luck
If I had to tell you a part of it to keep and maybe use in another ship, it'd be the engines. Give the orange an orange aegis glow and you have pretty thrusters.
