Here is a small fighter I put together using the mini section sprites Kaelis put up. Thoughts?

Awesome! I like the atmospheric-fighter look, and the coloring isn't bad either.

Use the triggers to do variable wings!

Looks more like a corvette size to me. But nice ship all the same.

Ditto on that. I tend to think of demeter drones as fighter size, and anything you could realistically build are frigate sized minimum. Of course that's probably because of all the time I spent playing Eve Online.

homeworld 2 will do that to you as well. I have the same issue. But since this game has just an immense potential scale, it's so relative to the fleet. But I need to rename my "fighter" then....

Nice little ships btw. Reminds me of the pre-Moo2 ship models. If there is a way to set it by trigger, then making the white part of the wing rotatable would be really cool on that design.

Nice how you made the thruster sprites actually flow with the ship.

I have been trying to figure something out that looks cool to do with the wings, just haven't gotten used to the trigger system yet. lol

"Set S-Foils to attack position" is what I was thinking, like the wings start retracted and sloped back, then at a press of a button, they fold out and it takes on the "fighter" form.
