My third ship: Shadow Rail

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!

Couple of quick things:
1: Is this finished? Because as it is now, the bits you have floating alongside it don't really appear to make much sense.
2: The twinrail turrets look kinda odd to me, mainly because they look like turrets, with the mounted weapons being another turret.
3: No offense, but the colors are really really irritating.

That said, I do think the shape could be turned into something interesting, and there is some potential here, especially if you put some work into the back area.

1. Those floating bits are suppose to be some kind of shield. Not sure if I should improve or delete them.
2. Odd is good. But I will probably change them.
3. Will be all dark red

You can improve the shields by adding support beams and the like. Extra armor plates *MIGHT* look good on them to add a bit of detail.

The colours are ok IF you add more shades to it. The design looks odd but it will look alright as a carrier if you scrap the floating parts (makes me wonder if you have parented your ship well...). The usage of parts are quite good but the shape is quite horrid. Try to make the ship wider with a more decent weaponry and set the depth of the wings properly (it will look nicer :) )
