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!
The new rear is a definite improvement. I agree that directionality is a bit unclear. I think it would help if you distinguished the engine glows (I'm assuming the rearmost are engines) from the others.
Removing the glows definitely helped. I think the main problem is a lacking sense of function in the ship. It's very pretty, but it doesn't really convey what it does.
Either reflecting purpose in what is already there or possibly adding a transformation of some degree would help (and it just occurred to me that those panel-like sections are begging for a transformation).
The new ship is good, perfectly fine in its own right. Although, the dark grey sections in the rear, on the exterior of the ship seem a bit out of place; probably because the rest of such sections near the front are all interior.
It's good in its own right, but it seems rather like a rehash of the earlier one rather than a different part of that same fleet. I think it would benefit from a more distinguished appearance.
The previous ship like that looked more like a coherent ship. This new one looks like two separate ships that had their rear ends squished together. And the general shaping and style is far too similar to the old one - try expanding on the style a bit and see where it takes you.
These are looking awesome, realistic, and functional! I like your newer style, but I'd also not mind seeing more of the white ship with triangles. Something about it is just really unique.
The carrier style with all the ribbing is really nice as a style, I just didn't like it being symmetrical lengthwise. The repetition is really well done and nicely simulates plating though.
Damn. DAMN. I don't know why, but this has to be one of thew best ships I've ever seen.
It's probably because the depthing is just so well done. It feels look I'm looking at a top-down model and not a 2-d model. Black, if you continue with this, I sense a holy ship. Very holy.
Again. DAMN.
It's not my fault I can't take your post seriously.
