Yeah, I don't have any backstory yet, just a few ships.

C&C would be very much appreciated.

Shouldn't you use the ThrusterEX modules for thruster effects? I think those thruster things look a little dodgy.

I never really like the appearance of the thruster module, but I realized that you can now change the size of modules. I've replaced the old thrusters with uber-shrunken Thruster Exs.

Also, a couple of new ships.

Or you can just make them invisible by setting alpha to 0. Or using module depthing.

Or colour them so they fit in with your ship.

Anyway, they look pretty good! Good use off weapon depthing on the HV missiles and the overall theme is pretty cool. Looks like they've been in a lot of battles already, judging by the rusty colours.

That is what I've done on the earlier ships.

Thanks

Anyway, here is a new ship up for C&C:

Previous ships were quite solid, but this one is just a jumble of radomly colored sections.

Varying colors on every single sections might work on small ships, because they have only a few sections, but on big ones its a mess.

Hmm.

Any better?

Obviously I can't speak for Kaelis, but I think it's an improvement. It's still a bit too randomly colored, though. It just doesn't have that deliberate feel that you're getting with your other ships.
