It's about time we saw another impressive ship around here. Really nice colors. Some of the section usage bothers me but its still awesome. I think this will get "Holy Ship!".

An inbetween concept, probably for an adversary to the Verdians. Note that the final product may be substantially different as some parts just feel...wrong in a way. Can't put my finger on it. Any comments would be highly appreciated.

Adelaide class Ship of the Line

Credits to cycerin for his Archaedas colorscheme, and a bunch of his sections of course.

EDIT: changed the engine, ass went from fat to skeletal to fit better with the rest of the ship.

just a suggestion, i think you could put a low-strength glow on the inner two spindly things at the rear.

Nice glows and shape. You've also got a nice sense of depth. No offense but the section usage is really bad in some places.

Do not agree. I'm still not keen on mixing in those WF, low detail sprites, but I'm starting to get used to it. The glows are excellent. I have to admit that I liked earlier incarnations of this style better, particularly color scheme, but this is still kickass. Definitely much more refined.

I never said anything was wrong with the WF sprites. Some of the detailed sprites look wrong. I actually like the WF sprites.

Really great ship AD! The DooBlinker/DooBlinkFader on the WF_Sec02 on the wings kinda seem to be out of place. But that's in the opinion of a lowly Lieutenant in the face of a Grand Admiral, who has gold!

I didn't say or imply otherwise. I said I didn't agree with your opinion regarding section usage. I am not keen on the WF sprites.

section usage is really bad in some places.

I will listen to you in this case only if you can actually point out where. Largely because I don't know where this section usage could be called 'really bad'. It does need some cleanup here and there though, I'll give ya that.

Still looking for more feedback, though.

Well. It's big, mostly well-coloured and has almost no itches in design.
Neat. But not Epic enough. Something is missing.

Well, unless you can tell me *what's* missing and *why* it's not epic enough, I...really can't do shit with that comment.

it's just my opinion, but i think you should trash the spindly things, or atleast make them shorter and fatter. i don't care for the colors, but it still looks good.

edit: aslo, i think the engine would look better if it were close to the rest of the ship.

Epic ship is all made just like a single structure. And here there is some sort of clash-the centre and forward looks solid and "fat", while the backside is mostly made from brittle-looking "thin" spines.
It needs to be either one or another.

The ship seems cluttered to me. I haven't seen that from you before. Those red doodads also look off. The rear bulb engine and parts around it look like they would fall off. Perhaps make less of a slant with the sections connecting the engine and the main part of the ship? (I hope you understand what I just wrote because it's hard to understand.) I really like your lighting effects though. Also, where'd you get those Cycerin sections? Is there another place to get sections other than the 'Custom Content'?
