Thanks for the constructive criticism. I took into account the issues and hopefully this addresses them without introducing too many new bugs- er, design problems. Now you know what to say in the off-chance that someone asks you how using the shipmaker is like software design.
2. Layering error. Fixed.
3. Replaced with new tail.
4. Covered it up somewhat.
5. Filled in.
6. New wing sections.
Done.That is awesome It flows well, until the rear wings, im not sure about them, they fit with the style, but not the flow so much. If you can fix that, maybe having them flow upwards and back following the curve set out from the middle stub's of wings, then the flow will be perfect
1. Didn't change but changed everything around that area to make it stand out less.1: This area seems overly flat due to only a few sections being used.
2: The "_|" piece on the right seems way out of place.
3: The overlap doesn't look very good, and it's quite thin like the area in 1.
4: The TSA sprite there stands out alot more than the back sprites do. I nearly missed it the first time looking at it.
5: The holes. Dark holes.
6: Odd TSA sprite jutting out.
2. Layering error. Fixed.

5. Filled in.
6. New wing sections.

I... I don't even...
I'm not going to say it's perfect. Nothing is perfect. And in many ways it looks less like a ship and more like a pretty shape. But it's still beautiful. Goddamn.

Only a suggestion, but maybe instead of having all those pointy bits at the front, have one long pointy bit and keep the pointy bits that are connected to the front wings. Then angle the back wings a bit more, it'll give the ship a more stream-lined feel. And then put some glows in between the gaps of the back wings.
You don't have to do all of that, the ship is pretty much perfect as it is though

Trying to arm the battlecruiser, but "force fire on weapon fire" trigger only works the first time, and weapon link children don't face the same direction as their link parent
Do advanced functions not work if the ship is too large? I know the things listed above work on other ships, as everyone who's made a successful turret can attest.

Yeah I noticed, but even WEAPON LINK is not fully functional and thats the clincher. I've made turrets before and they work fine, but not now.
BTW, the force fire and weapon fire triggers work on your Anemone ship, is there anything special that's not in the documentation?

That might happen, yes. Although, to be precise, it has nothing to do with ship size - rather the size of .shp .Water_and_Wind wrote:Do advanced functions not work if the ship is too large?
If you want to be sure, place a few more weapons/sections and see if things are getting worse. If they do, that means youve broken the limit and the .shp is getting 'trimmed'.

Well, linked weapons for whatever reason don't face their parent's direction on the battlecruiser, so I took advantage of that bug to avoid the use of force fire triggers. Weird, but it works.
Unfortunately the teslas have a longer range and don't stop at the glowing circles when the lasers have a target. Now why is that?
EDIT: Replaced teslas with beamers, SAME THING . :x
Eat those words. lol j/kAnd in many ways it looks less like a ship and more like a pretty shape.
