You can hit 'edit' you know. It's probably better to post at least two new ships if you're gonna bump. Especially when your ships are all practically the same.
Red and green don't go together. I think that shape is absolutely ridiculous. The section usage in the middle is acceptable but you may want to clean up your sections near the outside of your ship.

um...new ship? Its the old one with four new pieces added to each side... I don't have a problem with the shape because its somewhat original, but they could all use some depth and the big weapons on top are ugly. If your going to do that cover them with a turret or something. And why the gap down the spine of the ships?

When I said you should put a big gun on the top, I didn't mean putting an overstrechted AC on it. More like an AC on the smaller ships and some 2/3 barreled thing on the bigger ones.
Though I really like the new ship, I really think you should use a better engine flare sprite. The bullet from the fraxy pack(additive blended) always looks good as a glow.
Next you might wanna add some colour to these ships. Looking at it right now I think lightblue, orange or dark red all would look pretty good. But keep it mostly grey.
Next point, the colour layering is all wrong, the "highes" sections should be light and the lower sections darker.
Well since you are hopefully gonna fix that AC anyways, the next point isn't really important, BUT; the thing is offcenter, check it's location by pressing EDIT and looking at the Y value, this should be 0. If it is, the sprite is ofcenter then you have to put it strait by looking and moving until it lines up.

Thanks, I plan on recoloring the entire fleet and cleaning up the sections. The gun on top isn't stretched, its the stock size, the ships are just half the usual size, each and every section is half the size of the original. Hmm, I think I'll have to take a look into the custom section. Thanks again for the critisism. The gap running down the middle of the ship was caused when I mirrored it, I have to move the sides closer together, which I plan on doing.

The new version of the ship, I downloaded the fraxy weapon pack but whenever I insert them into the shipmaker they turn into a blue blob, a little help, also how do I make glows?
For comparison the old version.
