Anaesthetics? Really? They're numbing? Sorry, just had to poke at that. Knew what you meant though.Imaillusion wrote:I like the look of these ships, they have this robust feel to them, and they have a good combination of anaesthetics, functionality, and refinement about them which I like
Anyway, I figured it was about time I put in a word on these ships. I've been looking in on this thread a lot, and I've never really felt like posting because... well, I'm not sure if it's me being constructive, or me being a nitpicky asshole, but something about your ships really doesn't sit right with me, Lactose.
The depthing of sections in some ways seems inconsistant, and with some of the ships even the textures change drasticly from one area to the next, and I guess I find it kind of off-putting. While the designs of your ships are largely fairly decent, I just feel the execution is slightly lacking. They always have a flat, bland feel to them, but as much as I hate it, I can't think of any advice off the top of my head that could help.
Less dark greys on the Archalieus ships would be kinda nice, really.

Okay, moving on to the new ships now. Things like the Vernire and the Cimera. I hate these quite passionately. Your other ships it was just "something doesn't feel right", but these... are shit. ESPECIALLY the Cimera. What in the hell were you thinking man, melding the DSTech Sections and SWA Uraki style sections, on the same ship, on the same layers? It's... I... there aren't enough words to express how wrong it is. I have to make hand gestures and gesticulate like some kind of wild animal while foaming at the mouth, man.
I...
You made me cry, man.
The Schineid is much better, in that all the sections fit well together because they're all big chunky boring and bland, and for that matter so is the whole ship. Nothing about it really strikes me as special.
The Myrsidon strikes me as special though. However, I mean special as in... oh screw it, enough of being subtle.lol Anna being subtle.
This thing is hideous, man. You've got lotsa chunky-ass rectangular bits in places and that's not too bad on its own yeah that's okay but then you cover up that with some lame curving bits and then there's the SIDE BITS. THE SIDE BITS THAT LOOK LIKE BIG MALFORMED SATTELITE DISHES STUCK TO A JACK IN THE BOX. WHY!?
It's just awful. Just awful like so much. I'm sorry. While I still didn't love it, I very much prefered your old style. Or perhaps that's just because I couldn't see shit on your old ships because everything was so dark and grey except for the bits which glowed BRIGHT FUCKING YELLOW HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!
Okay endrant.
