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!
(First off, I know there are loooooads of these kinda topics but... )
'Child of Hyades'
It's my first proper ship using SW parts and it's still quite a WIP. I envisioned the ship to belong to a race of sentients who evolved in a solar environment or something.
Those orangey areas separate from the ship are animated gifs that are supposed to slightly resemble solar prominences. I know its a tad unoriginal shape and colour-wise, but could I have some pointers?

I love those flame effects. However, you haven't placed your sections very well. They are a bit too jumbled. The arms coming out of the back of the ship are also a bit too thin IMO.
Those flames are awesome! I take it they're doodads? Stern arms are a bit spindly, and the 'red' is a bit pink; maybe try making the hue 5 instead of 0 in the color picker?
The first ship has a lot of room for improvement. Don't get me wrong, but it seems like that the flames were there to make up for ship design. There's a lof of interesting patterns you have already, keep it up! Like Danny said, it's very spindly, looks like if it break in half if someone pushed a Cronus into it .
Second ship is somewhat uninspired, there's not enough open space for those awesome flames to flare out of.
Those flares could do cool things, I can't wait for them to be released as a pack.
The first ship is neat, the orange-ish sections look almost like muscles on some parts of the ship, the arms to the side are well done but the "hand" things on the end are strange, they don't seem to serve a purpose other than filling up that area. The engines at the rear also look like they don't have the power to move this monstrosity of solar flares and metal.
However the second ship looks like its from an entirely different vein, it almost looks like it has been reinforced post construction, which is a neat look, but the overall ship is too cluttered for those flares to show up well.
