Hello, these aren't the first ships that i have built, simply the first ships that i am uploading to this forum.


Slimelight
OK i made this ship after looking around the forum a bit. I went for a bit of a minimalist style ship, using customs weapons as opposed to stock. All parts are standard size, it feels wrong to resize standard shapes...they always seem wrong and somewhat out of place.


Bird Of Prey
This second ship is more to my original style using stock weapons, some might view it as cluttered although (and in some respect it is) however the advantage to this is that even if the various sections get destroyed it still maintains its weaponry and defences

*EDIT*

Replaced the stock weapons with custom weapons as suggested, minor changes to placement of sections

**EDIT2**
OK have decided to leave bird of prey as it is in my opinion it's worth it as a reminder to myself of "try to stay away from this style of ship". I shall keep on looking around the forum for good examples of ship design and i'll work on some more ships in the style of Slimelight i'm glad it got such good reception as well

Thank you everyone


Comments and criticisms very welcome i'm currently developing a back story to a fleet of ships i wish to make sometime in the future and perhaps develop that into a full storyline complete with encounters for people to enjoy. ( I'm a long way off currently these are only ideas at the moment) In the mean time i thought i'd get peoples opinions on the designs of some of my older ships

Slimelight is a pretty nice starter ship, and that's all I can say about it :p

However your weapon spam on Bird of Prey is overspammy that I can't see what the ship looks like.

Note: weapon spam is frowned on in this forum.

Kill the second ship. It has FAR too many weapons, the parent ing is crap, the shape is displeasing, Just kill it, please?

Welcome to wyrdsym forums.

Try to edit your weapons to be more effective, If you were going to have 20 blasters, make one blaster and edit it to have more power.

Slimelight: I like. Frame that one and put it on your wall.
Bird of preWHOA SPAM! That is an unholy block of weapons. Kill them with fire and replace with modded guns.

The horrendous right angles caused by the convergences of sections 24 and 26 on the wings of the modified Bird of Prey has to be scrapped. Never, ever, attempt to use section 26 with a generous portion of exposure. The right angle makes the issue even worse, in my opinion. Of course, it's also only opinion that I feel you should patch up the nose on that same ship. That's my two cents' worth.

Ease up on the weapons, fix the parenting and let us have a look again for the second ship. The hull might still be salvageable.

It has a weird first impression I can't get over.

C1 Assassin

The C1 Assassin, A fast ship with a powerful beam laser designed for hit and run tactics, it also has 2 gattling cannons although their short range makes them more of a backup weapon to be used if anything gets too close.

i like the first ship
it is like a god fighter. in real, it would be good if the speed firts it. a group of 6 of these could be kinda.... :twisted: painfull :evil:

The Assassin seems like a fairly good solid ship to me. The first two ships are not bad either. Bird of Prey has quite a mix of section styles, you could work on the placement to make it a little less cluttered. Also, your core is a little exposed, unless those circular section 13s are armoured.

Anyway, good work and keep it up.

I agree, the Bird of Prey doesn't look very good. The Slimelight and the Assassin look very nice, however. Also, when you make larger ships, make aegis'd 'engines', they look very nice, and if you really want, you can hide thrusters nearby.

Aegis nothing! Try the Ship Maker mod and DooNoise those suckas!

I would suggest using the custom color option to add some shading/depth... it really helped with my ships...

nice work on the 1st and 3rd so far tho
