@DS:Woops, yeah, forgot about the shipdeployers.

@Squishy: The back wings look like ass when they fold in, I tried that already.

EDIT: anyhow, DL's up. Grab it here or in the ship post.

Toying around with curvature, and gratuitiously bundling with Eri's Knights sections. May or may not be a good result, I think it's rather messy myself.

Opinions? Ignore the front, btw, it's gonna be changed by something more tentacley. It's a squid after all.

For some reason, I just really don't like it. Eri's sections you didn't use them to well in this ship, and some of the section placement is really crappily done done compared to your other ships. Sorry i just hate it. oh and the shape is a eyesore. I liked the other ships alot more.

I seem to be the polar opposite of this opinion.

I have to admit that, in some locations, it's not as crisp as most other ships I made, and the section placement could use some attention. But crappily done done section placement? The shape an eyesore? To be frank I think I'm just gonna ignore your opinion on this matter. I will see critisizm as valid when it actually sais something constructive, something I can work with. You're not giving me that. Not to sound arrogant, but this is ridiculous.

I like your squid (or calamari if it was fried), though the tentacles look quite short for a body that size.
You also might want to consider making the body more streamlined.

Finally, what do you intend to arm it with?

ArcaneDude · Post by **ArcaneDude** » Sat May 09, 2009 4:32 pm

Armament is foggy as of now. The main body won't go through much change, but I've already decided to change the front to something more tentacley.

I like it, it's interesting. Could work if you flipped it around, too.

ArcaneDude · Post by **ArcaneDude** » Sat May 09, 2009 9:55 pm

Better?

Homer · Post by **Homer** » Sat May 09, 2009 11:08 pm

Ignore my comment i made up there for the most part. This one looks a whole lot better when flipped, though the custom sec (i presume) between Eri_secknights01in the forward most part could probably use a little bit more detail to fit to the ship.

Yes i would say it is better it looks ...
more squidish for one thing [size=0](i don't know what the other thing is i just think its good)[/size]
i also think the first one was reasonable

Why, because he made something new and suddenly you like it, so you're going to ask us to forget what you said earlier? Lurk moar, that's not how things work.

Lol @ irony.

I myself really like the ships, though in the new flipped version, the back half looks frail when compared to the meaty front half.

Actually it is. Someone says something which is deemed wrong, they are told so, they recend their comment and add a new one with better criticism. Pretty sure thats exactly what we want to happen

And it actually was valid criticism that mostly supported what AD already said, but it wasn't phrased well.

The first one looks like it should transform, the front especially. The second does look more squidish, but thats only good if your going for that look. I'd say use the first, and have the front sections rotate open and some sort of cannon or even a ramming spike come out.

Not a huge fan of your latest design. From a technical standpoint, it's nearly as impressive as all of your other work. Stylistically, though, I'm not fond of ships that are strongly based on animals. While section usage is well done, section choice is not so much. Eri's sections don't seem to fit this design. I feel that this is largely due to the fact that those sections were made specifically for the ships they were used in. I've yet to see an implementation better than the original.

ArcaneDude · Post by **ArcaneDude** » Sun May 10, 2009 4:54 pm

Oh well, it was just a try-out really. I'll prolly start making my own sections to fit this kind of ship. Still, I think I've pretty much found my new design style.
