Panzerschreck's random ships and minifleets
ok, im trying with different styles, to see what fits me best and I don't feel like making entire fleets of 1 style. I'll update this topic if i create a new ship
first up, 2 of my most recent designs: the Panzerfaust Mercenary fleet. its a small fleet, to be consisting out of 5 ships. i have 2 done now. The flagship is gonna be the Panzerschreck
1) Panzerfaust 30
2) Panzerfaust 60
C&C is more then welcome!

ok, im working on the Panzerfaust 100, but im kinda stuck, its not good yet, and i don't know how to change the sidepots into a nice thing without deleting them completely, maybe i should though. I would like to hear your advises/critics!

If you're up to your wits about the engines, then I would suggest seeing if you can tweak the main body to suit the engines instead and see where that takes you.The Panzerschreck wrote:i don't know how to change the sidepots into a nice thing without deleting them completely
To be more specific, the engine pods look like they were tacked on at the end as an afterthought. You can streamline the transition between main body and engine pod by excavating some crevices out of the main body that will serve to accept and fit the engine pods (you'll need to reposition the engines too, at least).
All in all, your ship building skills are solid; you got the technique. And here it seems that you're working on your style, this is good progression.

first off, very solid use of the outlining technique, and also good job on the main hull.
right now, the engine pods look far too fat. I'd also agree with squishy in that the hull could be more streamlined. at the very least, the struts should look like they could actually hold the engine pod without shearing off.
In short, either make the pods longer, or make them skinnier. I look forward to seeing more of this fleet.

at school, i came up with an idea, and this is the result;
how do you guys like this?
i see a little outline error, but that will be fixed (just before the right struts for the pods)
