The Solaris-New Titan That I'm Currently Making

. . .

So, how much of the actual advice we gave you did you take? None? I thought so.

This is why I don't post here very much.

What Anna says has merit. The fact that he gave your ship some honest criticism makes his posts more meaningful than about 90% of the posts here. And in the long run (and the short) will help you make your ships even better.

If you're still reading this, before you leave please at least post DL links for the rest of the Xeno Fleet

Those were really good.

Excerpt of IRC discussion relating to the Solaris.

The depthing is fucked up, there are parts you'll never see unless the ship is getting blown to pieces, and the entire thing has far too much outlining.

Huh, we have an IRC channel?

Nevermind.

Im not completly leaving until I either change my mind or until the Juggernaut tournament is over.

Heres the Xeno Fleet:

It was so big I had to make two zip files.

By the way I am starting to reconsider leaving... BSF is the best freeware game ive ever found so far, Im not ready to give it up yet.

I like it better than Anna's ships, if that makes you feel any better.

Much more appealing, not too much going on.

Take this ship of Anna's for example. The dark grey parts and the grey and almost white outlines mixed together almost make my eyes hurt. It's just too much in too little space, with each and every part having this bright outline.

Solaris (without the zippers) = Beautiful.
Anna's in general - Good, but a bit tacky.

Too much for your little brain to handle, maybe.

Um... sorry impeached but you're a bit wrong there, the was a very old Anna ship. If you look at his newest ship... it... well... rocks...

Im working on another titan, I want Anna to see it to check so it's not following the style of his ships too much

Looks fine to me, Commodore. Don't worry too much about "following my style", just try to work in as much of your own with it as you can. This current work seems to be progressing fairly well, so far, but it's fairly small, so I can't be sure, yet. Keep going.

I'm wrong that I think Anna' ships are tacky?

Styles and appearances change over time, if that's what he's saying.

Newest version. For those who are wondering, it's called the Eradicator.

Impeached · Post by **Impeached** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 5:39 am

I like it, except for the fact that the junction between nose and body is too fragile-looking/thin.

Well, everybody always say 'bulk it up' whenever their is a thin connection on a ship, which is funny, because when it's done right, I think it can make it look sleek. If you do want to attach it more 'strongly', I'd recommend attaching spars sticking out from the rear parts of the forward Missile mounts to near the rear tips of the nose. That dould look cool.

Wow I am loving the Eradicator! The design is original and the general shape of it is very different. I don't particularly like your method of armour highlighting because you lose the section details but that is just my personal opinion.

I have no idea why but that particular design seems like it comes from the Gundam universe.

I am very much liking that new ship. (is that a correct sentence?)

Anyhow, far better than the Solaris, as of yet, but however;

-I'm having a slight problem with the gun platforms. They seem so glued on instead of a part of the ship. Try using multiple sections for those platforms, instead of one.

-Sorry if it's just me, but those blue parts are fucking staring at me. It's really weird.
