AD's cunning concepts: Adelaide class on page 11.

They're supposed to be fucking space americans. "Russian" colors are a coincidence, and you're not even close to smug for seeing it. Even so, the RTN ships are not open for debate.

Your new design (Randomness) is excellent! I like it far better than I like the RTN, but I won't get into that, as it seems you're not looking for feedback. Anyways. Yeah, more like that. I really like this new style.

Agreed. The only problem to me is that the front seems dwarfed by the various wings (mainly the frontal ones), and the high detail to low detail feels a little sudden to me, partly because it's only really done on two sections. Maybe some doodads or something might help.

Damn, AD, that thing you posted in Custom Ships Gallery was great, but this one is awesome, much better than your 'space murkans'. Very original, and i love the colors. You seem to know how to use those mecha sections to a great effect. Definitely worth continuing; make a few more and its a Holy Ship.

BTW, why didnt you post the previous one here?

Oh, and sorry for commenting in the Custom Ships Gallery thread, i just really wanted to encourage AD to build more.

This Randomness is awesome. My only criticism would be that the large wings in the front are a bit too large in proportion to the sections that connect them to the main body, or rather that those sections are too small, given the wings themselves are a good size in relation to the ship.

That claw-looking ship looks like it would be really awesome if it did something like fold the claw back to look like a typical, more compact ship...

My redesign is the redesign that shall pierce the heavens.

Anyone that's glanced at the HS gallery will have noticed the big blue blob, ominously called Jade Martyr. Since it had too many sections it didn't work shit, so here's a redesign, a smaller big blue blob as it were. Comments?

Oh holy ship. This looks great.^^
My favorite from this ship is the form. (look like a spacebug or spacecrab)

Indeed.

I take it you'll put guns on the big blue circles on the sides?
(If you didn't do it already.)

Nice AD. I've been hoping you'd rebuild this thing, and I have to say it sure takes the proverbial cake. The only thing that really jumps out at me is that the glows look a bit tacked on.

For the most part, looks great.
I never really liked the shape of the forward wings, but that's probably just me. However, the curve is quite bumpy in some areas (of the front wings), you might want to fix that. Also, there seems to be some serious stretching in the teal line, which you could easily change.
Also, the rear has too little detail. For the most part in the ship, you have high detail sections mixed well with low detail sections, however, the back is composed almost entirely of low detail sections, which looks a little weird.
Plus, the center glow seems messed up, if that was deliberate, I don't think it looks very good.
Still, excellent effect overall, mostly good section usage, pleasant colours, and nice shape.

the new Jade Martyr is BLOODY awesome, it has a slight Mara Serpiente feel to it, and absolutely amazing flow.

small question: does this one now "load" in the game? looks like with the redesign you stripped off a lot of the excess flab around its waistline too.

too bad you can't enter in your own BP, otherwise that looks like a definate winner.

Oooh, me likeyz! I was partial to the Jade Martyr already as it was, and this is nice! It's better than my new monster for sure. I want those spritez btw

ArcaneDude · Post by **ArcaneDude** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 1:09 am

What sprites? I've used exactly...1 custom sprite that is my own.

I'm appreciating all the good crits, really, I thought this was gonna turn out less than spectacular. Now, some of you may have problems with the repetition. To them, I have only this to say:

<AD> I'm not saying its perfect and if I could've done it without the repetition, I would've. Sadly, there's no better way in terms of easiness/certainty/quality except making huge custom sections. Which I hate and suck at.

Also,

fuck them.

Next up is armament. Which will be hellovalot different than I was planning for the original.

@Reincarnate: yes, this one loads in game.
