JamesTech Ships

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

Ok, Don't ask me to change to other custom sprites because i'm sticking to the base sprites and thats it. I'll revert the weapon sprites back to normal, but please, do not ask me to change section sprites

I like its simplicity. Its also well thought out in terms of functional weapons placement, though the side by side shrunken machine guns bother me. Biggest gripes are the lack of apparent engines(thats just my taste), and the big gap down the center line which just makes it look sloppy.

I'd honestly start using the newer sections. And it's kinda hard to critique your ships when everything is shown in video. A few screenshots would be nice.

Actually I like the idea of new people learning with the old sections before moving to the new ones. With fewer choices, people were forced to be more creative. A lot of the new sections have all the detail drawn in for you, and don't fit that well together anyway unless you have a good sense of flow :lol: . Let him work out any building issues with this simpler set of pieces(hes still got plenty to improve that will only look worse with the fancier sections), that are easier to critique, then he can move on and build something good looking. Just my opinion.
Also though that wasn't a very well made slide show, its nice to see a video thats not from 2007 or something. I'd like to see more battles on youtube.

Ummm... I don't know how to say this nicely but... it looks like a penis :?

There's also that area at the back where you can see that the mirrored sections overlap each other. Need to cover that up

On the upside, I think you get what depthing means, and that pale glow surrounding the ship is rather generic, but it works. You should now try to put some colours to your ships, they look kinda bland as they are
