Bellcross Federation - Helicopters in space? Why not?

I'm not sure, the only thing I can think of is that you could try putting stripes over them. If you do that, leave a bit of the section 22s visible. If you want, you could replace it with a mix of 22s and 3s (and/or other sections).

Changed the barrel/blade.

The barrel gradient could do with being smoothed out a bit as well. It changes too fast in places.

IMO, the bright blue barrel gradient really shmups up the rest of the ship. It's an eyesore, really.

=X

A heavily modified version of the Drake, the Sonorus, as the name suggests, is armed with a heavy sonic wave cannon that discharges walls of solid sound towards enemy ships. The cannon has trouble hitting fast targets due to the slow nature of the sonic waves, so it also uses Autocannons as secondary weapons. This ship is classified as a specialized siege-type battlecruiser.

SPACE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! NOR DOES SOUND!

Yeah, yeah I know! Just think of it as really advanced technology!

[Edit:] Not to mention that you're using my spinning starbase as a target!

It's a cool ship, far better than the other version. But still, the bright green piece takes the design down. Those gradients are a very good idea, quite original, but they're not used properly. They just don't really fit in with the colourscheme.

Space is not 2D either, yet we are all worshipping a fellow who made a 2D space strategy game. What's the point, anyway.

In space it's even LOUDER because there is no air to get in the way!

Uhuh...

No, not really.

It was sarcasm

Thank you derekiv, my perception is clearly too narrow for such a civilised form of humor...

If sound-based weapons were to really work in space, it would have to come in the form of a small Missile-ish device that latches to its targets and creates huge vibrations. It would have two purposes: it would mess with the heads of any human pilots onboard, and it would intensify the effects of any weaponry that strikes at the right time along the period of the vibration.
It'd be easy to shoot down, though.

Anyway, nice new boat from Kira.
