Howdy everyone. I got to say, this new Shipmaker is mighty spiffy, so I thought I'd give it a go. Here, for your consideration, the Regolith.
The Regolith is a heavy assault utility cruiser. Armed with a conventional armament of missiles and heavy shells, the Regolith is a creation of a bygone era. While perhaps not the most advanced vessel, the Regolith is capable of holding its own against swarms of pirate ships in the far reaches of space. Also, it is capable of interplanetary travel, and traversing asteroid belts through the use of a heavy ablative shield. (Hitting "," and "." for the optional drag extenders)
Well, I think I want to make a few improvements before I put up a link for download. So, what do you all think of my first crack at this new beast of an editor?

Very nice! The one little thing that jumps out at me is the way the front-most and back-most pointed curved sections of the folded ship's front (I don't know section names, if that's not descriptive enough I'll draw a picture : /) have one overlapping the other. Perhaps you could play with that a bit, as it might look better if that bit of asymmetry on a symmetrical ship is fixed.
Exethalion: Alrighty, yeah, in hindsight I should have spent more time on those.
Slayer0019: Yup, the shield is powered by a rotating circle. The effect, I think, is pretty spiffy, but I'm not too sure how to make an animated gif...
Razin: That always bothered me as well, but it being my first try on this whole thing I didn't fuss with it too much, more of a proof of concept really. Next one will be better.
