First:

It looks very vulnerable. Your ship looks like it was made out of sticks, and that connotation seems to have a bad reputation on the battlefield for being... well... breaking up in a few shots. For example, the front two spikes need to be thickened, and you need more of a hull. Not that spider-ships aren't nice, in fact it is, but spider-ships still need to look durable and have a definite body to leg ratio.

Second:

The colors. The light blue for the hydraulics was a good idea, but the white on the front spikes are an eyesore. Given that most of your ship is a dark grey, either the spikes need to be toned down, or the rest of your ship toned up. Consider color for depth: the lower it is, the darker.

Third:

I like it. Despite it looking "like a pile of sticks", it's pretty decent for a new-comer like you. Of course, you may have lurked a lot before posting, so I may be wrong, but you get my point. I especially like the hydraulics, as I pointed out. May I ask what set did you use?

well thanks that is very useful info,
btw for the coloring the white doesn't look so, well, white, in game with the blending

but alright heres an edited version of the Ravager

i just love how SW can make colors look a lot better

o i believe i used a mixture of everything Kaelis put and a bit of DSTech

Much better in terms of coloring, but the ship still looks like a stick. Add more pieces to the interior, just enough to give it more beef, but not so that it becomes cluttered. That's the true mastery of ship building.

yet another revised edition. i do think i overdid it a little and made it cluttered, so thats why there are more white sections. also for some reason the guns keep erroring the ship up, so don't be surprised if the weapons change positions.

Nice ship,I personally have a weakness for ships that have spikes at the front. Maybe some weapons at the front,but not on the spikes?

new ship, Orca. it is based off of my previous designs such as Clairvoyance and Greycloak

please comment and criticize

Orca seems so tough

and it looks so nice...

just that the dark sections are a bit too dark i think.. not sure if it really is.. but

it's very nice...

hope i can download orca... i really like it...

er, well actually i really don't have any kind of relation to any sites that release things for download.
And you might not like Orca, its so big it glitches your computer...to all you older shipbuilders its about the same size as the Cu Chalain.

Nifty looking ship. This very site has an upload section that makes it easy, if you decide to.

Doogie12 · Post by **Doogie12** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 7:39 am

well...yea....except you don't really download it do you? it just opens up a one-time sandbox of the ship selected.
o and thanks for the comment

jwa8402 · Post by **jwa8402** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:14 am

No...no, you upload it to the website and then we download it and can actually use it. You can upload the .shp file if you just want us to be able to use it in bsf, or the .sb4 file if you want us to be able to open it in shipmaker.

Doogie12 · Post by **Doogie12** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 7:54 am

Alright then, with that in mind, the download for Ravager, Orca, and Greycloak, will be up soon.

Here is a picture of Greycloak in case you haven't seen it yet.

Edit* Ravager is glitching up...again...it would be best if I didn't put it up for download due to the fact that I don't want to spread around a virus.

the greycloak is very interesting in its color scheme.

i wish i could create large ships effectively like this...

btw, use "forum preview" for your pictures.
(the thumbnails are small, and you don't have to go to the preview site)

New ship, Men O War, which has the sweet manual transmition that makes it a broadside cruiser whenever you like (Hitting "," activates it...but when it pauses it will keep going through cycles so hit "." whenever you feel like stopping it.)

so its designed to go from this,

to this,

yea...no download...
EDIT* file system is better, if there is something wrong still drop me a PM
