Flying Pirate Spaceship!

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

Flying Pirate Spaceship!

Post by nutman217 »

This is a creation I've made a while ago. I'm open to all types of constructive criticism, especially humorous ones.

Crap, I think something went wrong, I posted something.

Edit: Yes, something did get posted. It isn't appearing, though.

Edit: Dammit, the layout of my text appears to be screwing up the appearance.

Anyways, here's the link to my creation. Constructive criticism suggested.

Found the problem, I put a URL tag and it somehow screwed everything up.

Copy and paste the link, including the non linked "!.shp" part. Remove the " symbols and it should work.

I think it'll work now.

I C&P the address into the url bar, what I got was this:

It is standard practice to post an image of your ship before giving out a download as people like to see your ships before they download them.

OH LOOK! IT IS A GUIDE FOR YOU TO USE!

I hate people like you. It's an obvious error, yet you still can't figure it out for yourself.

I will admit I'm in a bad mood right now.

Okay, seen it now.
You should have linked it to the SB file, I can't comment in constuction, parenting etc.

And it disapoints. Alot

Still here's the screenie

Here's the lowdown:
Generic colorscheme
Looks like a bottle
Floaty modules or conected by thin sections
Too much weapons
Jumbled weapons

Basically as many newbie mistakes as you could get on a ship. Don't worry though, it always happen on your first try.

You better get outta here before the storm

Thank you for giving me a detailed explanation, D00D!. That 'floaty' module on the tip of the ship is supposed to be a lantern or whatever hanging off of an extended object or something. Also, I make up for the amount of weapons with a longer reload time, not that it really matters in cosmetic terms, though.

I see some mirroring errors down the middle of the ship as well.

D00D pretty much said all the other problems with it :P

I'm sorry. Someone had to.

In seriousness, it's not the worst newbie ship we've seen; not by a long shot.

There's certainly some errors, but it's weapon placement isn't miserably bad, it's not too heavy on spam, and the shape, while bland, doesn't have any bits that stand out like obvious horrors.

D00D is mostly right, but congrats on recolouring the Boosters... And the front-mounted Impeder doesn't look like utter crap, so I wouldn't call it a mistake...

Still, colour it, fix the mirrors, clean up the clutter... It's not the worst and I think it shows a little potential, so improve on it.

I just have 1 things to say:

1. The side's flat........... idk if it's my imagination or so, but it seems like your industry forgot to snap something on the sides.

You might want to take a look at the areas enclosed by the red boxes. I think they have layering errors, but I won't swear to it because of my current mental state. Also, I think something might be going on in the blue box, but I can't see it well enough right now to say more.
