Ongoing Works

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!

Ongoing Works

Post by Kiltric »

Getting into shipmaking a lot lately, so rather than spam threads, I'll put everything here.

This most recent is called Carapace. The general design was based on the idea of a spacefaring creature being dead/dying and having its body hollowed out, metal/technology added where necessary to make it function, and used as the hull of a ship. Green is body, grey is metal, blue is meant to be a bridge between the organic and inorganic components.

It isn't armed yet, I wanted preliminary opinions on the general shape, theme, and color scheme.

Looks good, like your style(why do I recognice that backstory?)
The colours are good although the blueish is just not right, experiment with it.
Nice ships for a newb though.

Don't listen to maarten, the blue is absolutely fine there.
Yet the green at the front need a other section choice there.

Don't listen to melv :P
Nah I think he is right. Although just seeing the ship again, the red doesn't look good on it. Change it to yellow/greenish glow.

I'm pretty damn sure that Isu meant nothing more than to reiterate the comment, which I will reiterate again for posterity: The blue looks fine. And though there are some odd curves, the ship in general is shaping up to look fine-- for one thing, it doesn't look like a small, furry critter that got hit by a truck.

It does feel that something's missing near the centre-grey, large pieces at the flanks... Other than that, lovely ship, especially for a nexb. Good job, sir!

What section are you referring to exactly?

This one is called Yujata. It's meant to be organic, with the red sections representing "veins" of some sort. It's a bit rough, but let me know what you think.

the red pipes make it look unorganic.
if you could make a custom section for them it would probably look much better.

Now tell me what don't you get about metal not being organic!

Although the sections look stretched and that's a bad thing.

The second ship is an improvement, but I agree the red pipes make it look unorganic there, unless it's like the first ship, a techno-organism?
