My First Ship

Singularity · Post by **Singularity** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 7:51 am

Hi guys. I'm new and I made some ships with the shipbuilder. I hope it's good enough for your standards.

It's side view, not top-down.

That looks quite nifty although I can see why you say it's a side view. I'm pretty sure It could be tunred into a top-down view easily enough but a side view style of ships could be interesting.

I like it. You've got a pretty good color scheme going there. The only thing is that the game itself doesn't really do side view ships, so, while looking pretty, it wouldn't make much sense if you actually went to fight other ships with it. Unless you made the other ships side view as well. Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea at all.

*steals idea and runs with it*

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Well, if the other ships your planning are as nice looking as this one, I can't wait to see the end result of it.

The ship is an overall go, but i have a gripe or two.

1.Can you have a top-down please? this is very hard to imagine.
Good colourscheme and good section usage.
overall, this is great for a rather new member.

Thanks for the compliments. I didn't know I'd be accepted this much around here.

It's a steampunk airship. I personally think they look a lot better from the side.

A fine ship indeed, especially since it comes from a newcome.

Oddly enough, i for one don't have a problem with imagine this being a top-down creation.

Hmm, sideview steampunk BSF, with airships instead of spaceships, in sky with clouds, with gravity... now thats an interesting idea.

That looks a lot like those armored machine gun things in Stormwinds.
You see something like those in the background of it. http://armorgames.com/play/3099/stormwi ... -campaigns
Its a rather nice ship and I'm, digging the influx of Steampunk ships.

The ship kinda reminds me of the kusari navy

Those are what inspired me.
