Alright I started ship building again and decided to find a better ship style for me, so I`m trying to find what would be a good style for me.

We don't hate you. We just hate those who downplays our criticism and continues to make crappy ships, and then complains that everyone is mean.
First off: aegis spam. it's hideous and can make an okay-looking ship a rival of medusa.
second, your section usage, style or not, is poor. Hollow hulls simply aren't the craze in the shipbuilding realm. Besides, depthing is highly suggested as it will make your ships beefier. Also consider coloring.
One good thing: No weapon spam.
Final suggestion: use SWA sprites

If admirals hate and trash your ships,
If you can't get it right;
Then off you go, but don't call quits;
Just go make custom sprites.

Green and gray are ok, the aegis just makes it glow way too brightly. Also, you should probably turn off your glow in BSF (by setting it to black), so that the gray looks truly gray, rather than kind of a light brown. That will also prevent you from getting weird boxes around your ships when using the SWA-style sections.

Again, the Aegis. It looks ugly. The bright sunlight doesn't help either. Also, you don't turn off glows, you set glow to black. That should do it.
If it didn't have aegis, it would be marginally better. It has a bunch of random, jumbled parts, and it doesn't really look like a coherently thought out ship. It looks like a welded-together junkyard. Looks like your cloud didn't translate too well into a ship.

It's not my fault I can't take your post seriously.

Oh dear.
I usually tend not to generalize but...these ships are all the same. They're sloppily constructed. The outlines are jagged, the internals are a mess. The colors don't match and the aegis looks like absolute shit. Subtlety is obviously not your best point.
Constructively I'd say to start all over again. Pay attention to the internals and the outline, and not just to the shape. Don't do internal aegis unless you're capable of using it in an aesthetically pleasing way, to simulate a reactor for example. As I said, subtlety is important in this aspect.

And before you continue with that style of section, you'll definitely want to do this, heh. Putting the ship over the sun helped a bit in hiding the blocks that show up, but if you do this, they'll go away entirely.apache1990 wrote:Also, you should probably turn off your glow in BSF (by setting it to black), so that the gray looks truly gray, rather than kind of a light brown.
