~Archalieus Shipyards~ - Rusty

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!

Fuel rods are so last season. Get with the times. :P

(Also, use some lighter tones. That grey is a bit dull and dark.)

wow. Looks pretty good but I don't think I've ever seen a single ship use WAW 01 so much. Whats with the two dst pieces sticking out of the front? They don't fit so much...

I'm using multiple proxies and also looked on the school computer network but somehow I cannot see your images, maybe a local connection problem or such I guess, what host are you using to show the images?

Using Imageshack for all my images. Probably blocked because of your school's proxy.

I've tried, but how do you get that kind of "glowyness" with Fraxy sprites?

Addictive blending and playing around with the glow modes.

Low alpha, low blur, high spread, at least if I correctly recall what cycerin was saying. Making the blend mode of the sprite additive is a must too.

It may also be worth experimenting with stacking glow effects. Flat colour glows look bad, but if you use a second identical one set to white, then things often start to look better.

The two outer wings look as if they could transform. Really. You should make the inner curves of the wing lock with the curve of the main body as a transformation. As what Arc said, the glows look slightly weird and "generic".
If admirals hate and trash your ships,
If you can't get it right;
Then off you go, but don't call quits;
Just go make custom sprites.
