Ships from a lurker

these are just some ships I've been messing with that I wanted your opinions on...any help making them better would be greatly appreciated. I have not chosen a color scheme for them yet.

Edit: New version of the armed one, don't know what weapons to add, is color scheme ok? The core keeps turning green every time I open the ship, is there a fix?

a decent start. I'd color it a bit even if you haven't decided you fleet colors or whatever, just so it can have a sense of depth. I'd also hide some of those weapons. For some reason I like the second one better but I feel like the first one could be expanded and then it would look right.

Weapon layout is fine, only the ship has a unusual large amount of detailed sections.
Coloring is next?

These look familiar...

Doublewhammy warning to MelvinVM and Isu! Nice job, idiots.

I would suggest using less detailed sections. When unarmed, the ship looks good, but in the armed version, some of the weapons clash with the section's details.
I think you should remove all the weapons except the MiniMissile Racks and re-arm it.

BTW. Colours please!

About that core, um... just cover it up.
I usually leave my cores green anyway so that I can make a few sections that color to act as team indicators in the game.

Pretty neat for a first try.
How did you make those Mini missiles get Under parts of the ship?

Weapon depthing. Hit w in shipmaker to give a weapon the same depth as its parent section.

These detailed planes are cool! Either they look 3d or i spent too much time on the computer. But seriously, i appreciate detailed ships (maybe other people doesn't even appreciate mine, or any others, but i definitely do appreciate the effort!)

Thumbs up for first try! (and probably the next one, and i hope the next one too. The next other one maybe. Okay i got to stop.)

i think you spent too much time on the com, cause the green is KILLING my eyes.
highlink, you souldn't pack parts together to make a ship, especially when it is heavily armed, unless its a cargo ship. gd ships for a beginner though(green sux!)
