There might be quite some promise in this. I'm glad to see someone who's lurked and actually made something of the experience.

Your ships are classical bricks. No more and yet no less. The internal work is quite good for a first timer, if a little cluttered on the first one and a little simple on the last. They might be just a tad too brickish, especially the destroyer, but that's personal taste.

Your colorwork and section usage is on a decent level, quite good even considering you're new. The Serpent's nose might be considered too straight, though. Might I suggest you add some antennaes or prongs? Otherwise the Gazelle's angled engine baffles look out of place.

That's about it. Solid ships, very good for a first timer. You've avoided many mistakes made by your average newbie, which is in itself an achievement. Welcome to the forums, I hope to see you improve. I believe you have quite some potential judging from these first ships.

Wow, AD said everything I was gonna say. Here's one: Try to avoid zooming in/out unless the ship is so absurdly small/large. It makes it blurs the "outline" of the sections. Can't wait to see more.

interesting desdings, but... (on my opinion) the engines are too big, try to make the engines inside of the "border line" (fuselage) :wink: . oh, the colouring looks better in the first and second ships, the big ship need work. :)

Fake Aegis in the EFF part of shipmaker. Experiment until you get something you like.
Anyway, those are some nice ships you've got there. I personally don't like the orange glow on the nose of the serpent.
All in all, you've got a good feel for ship-building.
