Insert backstory and product information here.

Fiddling around with custom sections. No weapons/modules yet. Radiators are only there because they're shiny, so if glow is in excess I'll tone it down.
I can assure you that parenting is sound.
C&C welcomed and appreciated.

That looks absolutely gorgeous, the glow in particular - That's a winner, is it animated by any chance?

Those engine sections look fantastic as well!
Not sure I like the vertical mirroring you did on the middle/main body (the tall light-gray structure), but that's just nitpicking

Epic Win. That's a warship, not a merchant, don't lie to me.
You should assemble those into a custom sprite pack, they're really nice.

Thanks for the comments.
@Elias_The_Crimson The centre hatch on the core opens and closes periodically, and the port/starboard lights slowly blink on and off.

@Slayer0019 Yeah, I was thinking about releasing it, but there's only a measly 13 or 14 sections done so far. I'll release summa these once I make enough.

That is VERY NICE! load 'er up with weapons and it'd be an instadownload!

I can haz armament?

Still sticking with the merchantman status, so weapons are all fairly vulnerable. Dual torpedo tubes are pretty powerful, but they take almost half a minute to reload. Flares for extra goodness.

This is one of the most gorgeous custom section ships i have ever seen. Well done, good sir.

If the BP graded only for color scheme, you'd be a winner in my book any day. This is AWESOME. And do release that sprite pack soon. 13-14 sprites should be plenty of motivation for the pure awesomeness that comes with them.

EDIT: Is there a reason that the little stripes on the wings are different colors? One is green and one is red.

@The lights- I'm pretty sure they're port and starboard lights.

A most excellent ship, the colors are extremely well done, and the weapons blend in to the newest version quite nicely.

Thanks for the positive commentary!
Yeah, the red/green lights are port and starboard indicators, respectively. I was looking at some of Lizzie's ships, noticed them, and thought, "Why not?"
As to releasing the custom sections, once I get enough diversity, probably around 20+, I'll release a pack or something.

Quite Interesting, indeed. Interested to see more.

I'm imagining those engines as vulcans.

wow... that looks REALLY 3 dimentional!

It could be like a large warship disguised like a simple merchantman. If you please, think on that.
