My fleet

1: Edit button, please use it.

2: You posted the image tags for the same image three times.

3: The shipmaker has a built-in screenshot creator. Press F9, then drag the cursor around what you want the picture to be of. This will make the screen shots far smaller, as it only focuses on what you want, not the entire screen.

Failing that, use paint to crop the shot.

4: The parenting looks like a complete mess. Looks like if I remove the yellow section in the back, the front will come flying off too. It also seems over-armed for a ship it's size, namely in point defense. Try cutting the Flak gun numbers in half.

Hey, I said his section usage was okay. :p

On the images; odd. Normally the top and bottom ones should work. Just copy the image tag from your photobucket (sais that in the drop down box, bottom option I believe) and copypaste? If that's what you're doing, chances are you need to re-attach the aft image tag to your link, that happens frequently.

EDIT; nevermind my bantering, Anna fixed it.

The parenting in that last ship is fairly messy. Look at this for a detailed explanation on what's wrong. The ship is fairly simple, and there are still too many weapons in such a confined space. The colors are better, though.

Blackrider, bumping your thread s generally acceptable if it involves new content, but your last three posts were within an hour of each other, and its not the first time. In cases like that, please either Edit the first post or hold off until you can post everything you want to. This is a forum, you don't have to tell us that you might have something in the next few minutes.

I like the Advanced Alien Obstructor. You might want to shrink the Gat Blasters, they seem a bit to big for the ship.
The colors are ok. But I'm not a fan of them.

You might want to go easy on the boosters and simply mod the guns.

If you're going to make the ship totally black, I recommend that you outline. if not, you might want to prepare to get critiqued heavily. also, if you are trying to make it useful, try a lighter colour, if not it is absolutely invisible to the player and not the AI.

Entirely black ships suck.

No question about it.

These ships are... interesting. It doesn't look all that great.

It would help your image on the forums a lot better if you used proper grammar and spelling. I'm sort of a stickler when it comes to that. You have all the time in the world to make a post. Use it. It doesn't take long to turn

Now, back to the ships. The overall shapes are good, but you have over 100 sections to choose from. Use 'em. You also don't need to weapon spam all that much.

Your ships are OK as far as newbie ships go. the first few you posted have had glaring problems with weapons spam and overuse of aegis, however, it's good to see improvement.

This last batch of ships is better, but I still wouldn't call them good. the colors clash a little bit. I would suggest turning glow to black in the menu options so that you don't get that ugly brown stuff on the ship in game. also, your weapons can be recolored with the apostrophe key, or by clicking the side color buttons with the weapon selected. try to make the weapons flow with your color scheme. my favorite of that last batch is the third from the top. keep playing with it and see what you can do.
