Hello, people! This is DarchZero again and again. This thread is only to net your critics and comments, fellow shipmakers. I am currently attempting to improve my ships, so critics are heavily emphasized and gladly accepted. Any ships you would like to criticize, please just post so i can improve. So this thread is pretty much a mushed-up complication of ships and ships and more ships. Of mine, of course. And i would like to really improve my skills, so please, leave a comment for any ships you deemed unsightly, ugly, out of use, out of place, AAAAHMYEYES!!!!, etcetera etcetera.

So, with no further ado, enjoy! Or, errrr, fire away!

That's a pretty intense quadpost.

These ships are fine, though I'm not quite sue of your intentions here.

Well, your metagame ships look much better than the GASPART, but you still need to work on your shades of gray, they look too random.

Well, my intentions is written well i hope. I wanted your critics. Harsh critics, coz i fail to recognize my fail in the first place, which got me into this unemployed situation. My previous employer said i failed, but i don't know how. So now i need all the critics i can have about my ships.
And for the quadpost, well, i was to categorize the ships so that people don't get silly-slapped for jumbled pictures. Thanks.

@Wizardunic&praetors: Angel Moon fans XD what's so good about my fleet, if you could elaborate?

@W&W: Random? In how? And thanks.

The Wargoddess' front half, for example, uses lots of different shades but doesn't convey depth at all (not to mention the section usage is pretty haphazard as well). In general lighter shades represent higher elevation, but don't go as extreme as the Willbreaker.

Ooooooo. Me likey. The asymmetry of the Warbanner is very good.

@Water&Wind:

Like this? I rescrapped the whole front, and there's a new EMP torp sitting on the middle. But what i don't get is the 'haphazard section usage'. Care to elaborate on what i need to improve?
@intention uisu: That's just the bridge, i really don't see anything special other than that. But thanks for the compliment. Any other assymetry you want to comment?

Water_and_Wind · Post by **Water_and_Wind** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:39 pm

Look at your Assassin and Valor's noses. Compare with Wargoddess. Not the shape, but the section usage, and tell me you can't tell the difference. Which ships have sections that go well together, what some people call 'flow', and which don't? That's as far as I'll elaborate, because this comes with practice.

The new one's shape is very good, though the gap between the prongs is a big long and could be filled in a bit. I agree the section work doesn't flow very well. Many of them don't line up or look like their part of one ship, though the overall effect isn't bad. I would find a way to depth the autocannons though, so only the barrels are showing.
