Behold, Scorpion.


Scarab
The first one i made using only Kae mech sections. At the end I experimented with one of Arc's thruster sprites and it turned out really well I think.


Mantis
I just deleted a bunch of sections on Scarab and moved a few of the pieces in the back to the front. Looks nice though.


Wasp
If you can't figure out how i made this, then something is wrong with you...

...and now for the crappy small ships!

Drone
(as in the drone of a beehive social class)

Edit* updated Drone



Gnat
As you can see, i have no talent for smaller ships.

Edit* updated Gnat.


Aaaaaand a fleet shot with hestia for size comparison


Comments and Criticism much needed.

this is the first time I see someone use that section as if the eye of the ship (or the commando bridge), and I must admit that it looks good

Ooo, the top three i definately like. The last two..not quite as much but maybe scale down the thruster and put it in like the bigger ships. You're also much better at shading than i am. Nice work.

The Scarab is quite good, and ingenious use of the center glow. The arms seem a bit thin, though.

@Bentusi: Yea I was actually just trying to see if Arc's thruster sprite would be in that ugly black box or not, and to tell you the truth thats actually the default position the "eye" is in, it is fake aegised and is messed around however.

@Rugdumph: Er...What thrusters? None of these ships have thrusters...Since they are obviously alien they use a strange gravity technology that actually PULLS them toward the desired position.

@LactoseTolerant: I suppose it is, but since those images have no scaling correlation you probably wouldn't realize that the Scarab is quite large; about the size of the Nagaya3ship. However I kinda like the thinner arms...it really helps pull off the insect like nature of these ships.

Working on a bigger ship in the same kind of design...however not enough of it is done yet to even give a preview. I will also change Drone and Gnat when I have time.

Edit* The bigger ship, Scorpion, is now up. Enjoy.

I meant the red glow bit made out of one of arca's thruster glow sprites, sos for the mix up

Oh, I tried that but I don't know it was like...overkill?
I think i'm just gonna use the shrink-every-section method to make a good fighter...cause otherwise I suck at making the little ships

New ship is up. Scorpion, massive juggernaut that fires many beams and bullets alike.

(sory for the double post...and theres not enough time to call it a bump)

Perhaps an action shot would help, but Scorpion looks a bit dull. The sections are all fairly well placed, but you have a large molten glow in the middle and then three slightly different shades of the same color on the rest.
I guess I just want to see function from the whole of the structure. As is, it seems like a lump (albeit a very pretty one) with a big red eye.

Action shot eh? Does this work?

By the way scorpion owned that thing

Ok, I'll admit that is one of the more organic looking ships I've seen recently. Looks kinda like This

It does indeed.

Holy <bleep> the concept and design

That both inspires and destroys my will to make ships.

May I have any criticism on the fighters? I really do need help when it comes to smaller craft.

Kaelis' DSTech sprites have alot of smaller sections, which can be helpful. Try making ships with more than just Mecha sprites, as most of them are quite large.
