Another ship, start of a fleet.

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!

Another ship, start of a fleet.

Post by Commodore111 »

I'm not going to be using my previous ship in this fleet.
But anyway, I've started on a fleet. No name yet.

I accidentally chopped a little off of the varinth. Next time I'll do a full fleetshot instead of editing an old one.

I don't like the four "balls" of glow on the outsides of the ship (two in front, one on either side). Everything else is ace. Are those four little rectangles weapons? If so, great job with making them blend in with the style of the ship. Looking forward to seeing some more.

You mean the running lights? I guess I should make them smaller in that case.

I'm not sure what you call them. Are you talking about the glowballs or the rectangle things?

if glowballs
then
Yeah, I'm not sure. They just seem out of place, like they're floating in space. Unnecessary, if you will.

if rectangles
then
I thought they were weapons. I'm sure it'd be more evident ingame, especially if they're just aesthetic.

The rectangles are guns.

They have relatively low lag, so it's fun to have battles and stuff.
And yes those blue dots are fighters.

Once again your colors are far too dark. Less darkness, a little less glow and this can be a fine minifleet.

Depending on what angle I look at my monitor, these don't even look like ships, just a lot of blue blobs floating in space. The dark sections worked decently on your big ship, but on these small ships it just looks like ass. Don't fucking do it.

And turn down the glows, for crying out loud.

Am I the only one that likes these ships? I really like them. The glows are cool and the shapes look cool. I actually like the darkness. It makes them stealth-like?

Alright.

In a nutshell; brighter sections, darker glows.

Oh yeah.

Absolutely.

They're totally stealth-like.

Except for big bigass blue glowy bits you dumb son of a bitch.

Motherfucker you could see them coming from lightyears away. Only you wouldn't be able to appreciate their pretty decent hull structure 'cause that shit is way too dark.

I stand corrected on the stealth part. Technically you wouldn't see them coming from light years away (just felt like throwing that in there). I still think the ships are cool. And what's wrong with dark ships for once? They are visible (including the hull structure).

Well, on my laptop it looks fine. Now that I'm on my desktop right now I can see that they ARE too dark. Really dark.
