Newcomer: Shadorian Industries

Post by Shadoroth »

Hello all, Shadoroth here. I am a new shipbuilder and newcomer to these forums. Just thought I would post my first ship that I am making. This is about 1/3 complete. I still want to give it some cool wings, as well as weaponry. No backstory, no colouring yet. Suggestons/comments?

Shadorian Battleship MK. I

Some of the parenting near the middle look a little interesting, and the loops might be parented that way on purpose, or that could be another problem. My main suggestion is that you try and remove some of the repetition somehow. If you really want the inside of the loops to be spiky like that, you could keep the section 26's but add other, not so repetitive sections on top of them. Welcome to the forum :D !

Ah. What would you recommend? I wanna make the inside support in the back a bit spiky, as well as smooth out where the right-most glowing circle is.(It powers the main beam)

As for the parenting in the front, it was a mistake with something done to the core, i moved the core half-way through working on it. I'll fix it up in the final project

How about making it solid instead of an amalgam of connected spines? :?

The general shape could be something interesting, but it really needs work. There are a serious amount of parenting errors, but as you said, they can be fixed. There's also a mirroring error; the forward strut of the largest reactor is off center.

Other than that, welcome to the boards.
