Nice I like the beam turrets or are they teslas?

Try adding fake aegis effect to the shield

More vulcans. If i could spam vulcans without making tacky ships, you know i would.

I reckon I'm done with the Foundation for now. In the meantime, I have a new ship.

I was actually trying to make something utterly different. This sort of just happened. It's still very much a prototype, but I'd like commetary all the same so I can better decide what to change.

It looks like something the Japanese would make. High-tech and awesome!

There are some sections that stick out: the prow doesn't really blend in, as well as some of the curvy bits on the centerline. Also, there's a slight mirroring/layering problem at the back, in the small red triangle.

Overall, a very nice ship.

Now with centerline main heavy turret (it recoils), and moar vulcans.

I think you use too many instances of the same big sections. Its okay if you use one or two, but use more and it shows.

Those Syn_xx sections don't fit; their alien style contrast with generic/techy style of other sections.

Varying brightness of gray a bit more (i think its already varied, can't tell for sure) should help in bringing out some depth.

I don't really consider the sections I used to be a huge problem personally, but I did change the rear engine housings and tried out some new shades. Take a look.

I'm still nowhere near finished. There's still some work to do in places, plus the ship's spawning errors that I don't have the patience to fix right now.

A CARRIER APPROACHES

Not done yet. Still got to outfit it, give it some fighters to spawn and colour it properly. Comes with transforming action for extra runways!

good and evil-looking

This one ship has changed dramatically. Also, expect refits of the prior two ships and new ones to come through soon. Comments and criticism are wanted - these are going in the BP once finished.

I must say I like the turrets, which is very rare for me to say.
It seems you have used my star suggestion for their communism, great job.
the ship is noticeably improving, good work.
Still the section choice is odd for me.

Your latest refits of this ship is, to say the least, interesting.
About the star, I can see why you'd want it, but it looks like it's just tacked on right now, not part of the actual ship. In all honesty it reminds me of those glowing things on top of Christmas trees more than anything else.

I like the carrier lots, it is very soviet, comrade. Though the red star stick out in a bad way.... I think you should make simplistic decals, for example:

See that red star? It may look a little too subtle, but it blends well with the sections. You know, you can always make your decals larger.

The star on the new carrier looks squished - try stretching it horizontally once or shrinking it vertically once.
