Colors are much, much better, so is the ship's design. The bomber is okay, nothing to remark there, except maybe moving the wingtips more inward.

The fighter is... odd. You have the core exposed, the thrusters up front where they're vulnerable, and where exactly are the offensive weapons? PD on a fighter, but no guns? lolwut? Clost the nose to protect the core, remove forward thrusters and slap some guns on that thing, you'll be fine.

The inner workings on the Zhasso are okay, but yet again the outline is daft. Also, a grey inner ship and colored armour plating doesn't look as good as color highlights spread over the entire hull.

Lastly. DO. NOT. TRIPLEPOST. I'm no mod but I'm sure that if a mod finds out about this, they'll pimpslap you and give you an appropriate warning. It's a good idea to read up on the Hall of Rules, nay? Also, I'd appreciate it if you used a spellchecker before you post, thanks in advance.

These ships has good designs! Their geometry and section depth and visual is quite feasible. And it's quite pwnsome too.

Or maybe my answer's why i never passed into the BSF Beauty Pageant Judge team.

Hamburger topping? Yellow ain't that bad! Look at Lizzie's masterpiece! Red, White, and Blue man! Oh, i mean Red, White, Blue and Yellow man! That's gotta be good someday.

Nexus, your main problems with the color is that you have a big mass of spammed dark gray sections and then a just a line of ugly yellows and orange. Your current yellow looks like phlegm and the orange ain't to pretty either. A color wheel helps alot with coloring as it allows you to see which colors will mix http://www.realcolorwheel.com/colorwhee ... el_475.jpg look at this to see which colors will blend the best. For sections try to make them flow better instead of sect A into ZZ try to put section A with like section B to make it flow.

Nexus, I think the colors on your last ship can be made to look good, but as it is now I can't say I like it very much. You have the inner bits of the ship a dark grey, and then abruptly surround them with orange. There is no transition, and no mingling. It just feels too sudden and different. Also, you seem to have a bit of section cluttering going on, as well as some odd layering.

where did the blue come from, and where did the gray go, and what happened to getting rid of the piss-yellow/green?


Fugly ships are still fugly.

Ugly as hell, though that backwards turret fits in nicely.

:/ The blue doesn't look good, and you did nothing with the fugly external shape on the destroyer. The fighter's good now, though I still think PD on a fighter is a bad idea.

So, three points to work on before these ships can be called 'okay'.

The older fighter would be way better if it had something like torpedoes in the noses of the engines and was called a bomber.
That would be even better then a fighter.
