Well my mind is rather monotone at times. :lol:
Alright, I messed with the colors some, I want to know if this is any better.

I just did a recolor, no extra work.
I'll probably do some work with custom colors now on certain areas for darker colors.

well it looks a little better ut i think you should move away from blue and try something else i mean blue is cool and all but pretty much all your ships are blue not that i don't like blue or anything it just gets kind of old after awhile if you know what i mean :)

I don't really like the recolour on that ship.. It makes the hull look like two different ships attached to each other in an odd way. The whole blue scheme is good for me, but the recolour just doesn't look right.

Shoot, well...any thoughts on what I could use for color?

Well i use a light red for the hull and outline it with a darker red it igves it a nice feel to it you can see the scheme by clicking my signature link if you want

I use the red colors for my hostile targets. (Yup, cliche.)

Alright, I think it's safe to say that one section of the ship is done, truthfully I believe it wasn't overdone. (Hopefully)

However...I just can't get this color scheme thing licked...I have an idea and it might show up on the next update shot, that is, if this looks like good enough material for me to continue with.

Oh god I forgot to save the blueprint...

I think I got it, a light grey for the majority of the hull, my usual blue armor outline, and a bluish-white bridge section.

Sorry...I can't deal with anything that isn't blue... :?
*Evil thought...*

Looks very nice at the moment! The colouring looks great now, nothing to complain about, for me at least.

Its a lot lighter than what I last posted, you'll see it when I do some work on another section.

I really liked this colour scheme. Much nicer than your old one, and helps the details to really stand out. I'm interested to see if your new one is better.

I prefer that color scheme over the rest myself.

The back looks a little better this time, and it has the newest color scheme I threw together, just let me know, this one or more blue?

Lookin' good. This colour scheme seems fine. I'd say change back to the bluer one, though. I like it better too. :lol:

To further improve on the appearance of the ships, I thought of some other ways to use weapon placement so I'm not exactly using the same thing over and over. (My exclusive weapon battery arrays) They look very similar, but it should lead to a reduced number of weapons in a single spot.

Image
I did take the time to make it look "clean," rather than have missile launchers completely exposed they're put literally in hollow spaces, making them more missile tube-ish.

Image
This one's a little sloppy too, mainly because the part outlining covers the Beamers, this is for my slashing beam cannons.

Image
Whether or not I decide having my "Pulsar beams" put into turret banks would be a good idea I thought this would be a good way to give the ship plenty of weapon coverage.

Good ideas?
