The IAFN Fleet

[VictimOfPepperoni]

Yesterday i drew up a faction called the IAFN, the Intergalactic Association of Federated Nations. Of course, it's all about the custom starships. The spacefleet of the IAFN holds some massive devastating cruisers. The first one i completed today, it's the Hurricane Class Broadside Support Battleship, a broadside (the name tells it) battleship.

Specs:
HP: 700
Speed: 1.70
Turning: 0.50
AI Range: 800
Weaponry:
12 Twin Autocannons (Offense)
10 Scatter Beams (Defense)

Another class of ship i finished faster is the Hawk Class Heavy Attack Frigate. Faster and most effective at short range. Quite overpowered, but i will fix that some day.

No light ships created yet. Feel free to enter critics and possibly leave suggestions for me to improve them. Thanks.

I gotta say, I quite like them. Ease up on all the white on the first one maybe, it doesn't quite have the balance of colors the second one has. You might also want to make the weapons a bit more visible, it's hard to judge firepower when you can't see the guns.
The second one I have no complaints on, it is pretty good. Consider hiding the thrusters, but that's about it.
Next batch you should try experimenting with shape a bit more, other than that, good job.

The Hurricane Class' main guns are actually supposed to be mainly hidden, to get the idea of side guns being shielded by heavy armor. They are concealed much under the sections because otherwise they would get destroyed soon by enemy fire, the sections lying under them take the hits for them. Also, the color scheme is that all ships have a plain metal color, in this case very light gray, and according to their team, have some sections have different colors. The IAFN uses bright yellow, as you can see.



To clear up where the main guns are.

have you tried selecting the guns and clicking a colour on the colour wheel at the left side of your screen?

then it makes them another colour and they stand out a bit more,im saying this because i need to open those pics in paint and zoom to see the guns

I tried, but i like guns more when they're plain white.

I would recommend that you try a slightly darker colour other than white. It is rather distracting to look at, in addition to it hiding your weapons. It makes your weapons a lot harder to see.

I would say, the design is decent, but I'll say this, the weapon placement should have ablative armour. Those are small pieces, layers of them, to protect a certain area, in here, you guns. follow through, and they should look better.

EDIT: I didn't mean anything against you, VOP. I just meant that as constructive critique. That's for improvement.

I think so. Don't forget these were my first tries at spaceships having other sections than the 24 stock sections! I'm really a beginner at this kind of stuff, so don't expect too much.

2nd ship is better. Also go into options, and go through the color sets till you come upon glow, and set it to black on all of them, to get rid of that horrible, eye burning glow.
