Squish, there ARE thruster-sections there.
They're just so dark I had to squint hard to see them.

ugh, i like the ones someone made in SB3 and the normal style more than these, though i like the idea.

he doesn't need an update.... just read what he said.

he's not saying he's using SB3 he just said those better looking Hiigaran ships, where made in SB3.

And to tell you about the engines, make the first one a bit wider and your spot on.
And im doing this from memory, but i think the front of your newest destroyer try isn't entirely correct.

I must say that the first engine, the typical HW style looks better, at least for these ships. However on that particular ship... a Destroyer I believe, the rear end needs a engine like sprite coming out the back. Similar to the second ship, as even in HW1 and HW2 the ships had obvious exhaust ports.

I really do like that Destroyer though, it looks almost like a direct port taken from the game and merely cartoonified. Great work on it.

The engine nozzles in the HW2 craft are housed in some sort of block surrounding it though.
You don't see them sticking out from the top.

ok then, the first engine is better than the other, only brighter and I do have to modify the nose of the destroyers and make it smaller. And if the motors are visible, they must be inside a larger nozzle.

working

here is an example of how it could look.

i think this is what xealmox meant.
you've got a great idea, now work on the execution of it, as an empty frame doesn't tell us much.

PROTIP: If your ship is literally just a core and a hull-outline scaffold, DON'T LAUNCH IT YET!

, i post the Sandbox image because in SM4 looks bad.

Silverware · Post by **Silverware** » Sat Nov 28, 2009 8:58 am

Then post up an HW2 image of it.
Just remember how the weapons on the thing are placed, its a poor choice of placements for a 2D game, so I would recommend flipping the thing over. so the bottom side with the 3 cannons and 1 ion beam turret are facing up.

if. know ... I was already thinking about it, so use the settings of superbattlecruiser of "Homeworld PDS Mod". The equipment of the ship is amazing and is nice seen from above in 2D

I think the first engine is good for what you are aiming at
