But, noone forces you to make it this big, right? In fact, you could split it up into two or even three different ships. Which would be awesome.

I certainly understand the problems with the cruiser, but I am planning to build even bigger ships, simply because they're that much more challenging.

Dubbing this the Ray Destroyer for lack of a better name.

So I fucked around with glows (made the core smaller too), not sure whether to call it an improvement or not. I hope to settle on a good glow scheme by means of reduction. So which glows should be removed, or all of the green ones, and should they be a different colour or colours?

I feel no praise is necessary, for it has already been said by others. Besides, if you read it right...

...or is that too subtle for you to comprehend?

Reminds me of the ships of the Ancients from Freespace 2 (Although they're all fan-designed) Nevertheless, there's a flow that I never thought possible on BSF ships. Good job.

Light Destroyer



I decided not to add more glows after all. Too lazy to upgrade the whole fleet and it distracts from the sectionwork.

Oh that light destroyer is COOL.
The form just flows perfectly from the front to the back, and each successivly lower layer follows nicely with it.
The only part that I can see that doesn't fit too well is the oval area on the middle back, it seems like it doesn't belong.
But the rest is great, keep up the awesome work.

You mean something like this?

Awesome, yeah that fixed it.
Now that is a killer ship. And will not take much to increase its size.
=P

HS! IMO
Lol
BSF, this is what is called flow. Water And Wind, why haven't you posted more ships before?

BATTLECRUISER

Only one word :

WOW

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

Are these ships animated? Because I really want to look at that rear sparkerly core-thing, it looks sweet.

But yeah, apart from what silverware had said, about the wings protruding out at odd-looking ways, these ships are awsome

Awesome. So much better and more in keeping with this style than the cruiser, and all round spectacular. Good job with the white glows, they're perfect, not too big, not too small, and not too numerous.

I quite like the outwards pointing wings (I assume these are the ones people were complaining about), and disagree about pointing them backwards as it would make that area a lot less interesting and cool looking. But it's true that they don't flow as well, perhaps bend/turn them forwards a tiny bit.

HS! Coming right up!
Seriously these keep getting better. Keep it up.
Déjà vu C111 (maybe not quite)?

Sorry, I felt that but this one doesn't live up quite well the others. While the outside areas are still superb in their curvyness, some parts of the ship irked me alot.



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.

Sorry if this feels a bit... scathing, but I felt that it didn't have alot of the "meatyness" of the previous ships, or the fantastic curves.

Other than those, I still loved the ship, especially the nose section.
