Re: Some of my ships...
They are ugly, just repedative, boring and awefully coloured.
You have mirroring errors, and the core showing.
That said: Mirroring errors are the easiest to fix, just make sure that when you mirror your ship that the sections do not overlap the section opposing them.
The colours are just bad taste, do something about it, take colours that match and don't make them to bright.
Repedtiviness(yeah word): Just stop using 3 sections, it looks aweful.
Then: Make the shapes interesting, get new sprites, AND TURN OFF THAT GLOW DAWG.

Re: Some of my ships...
6 different sections is hardly not 3...
what do you mean by turning off the glow?

Re: Some of my ships...
hmm, for starters its really a bad idea to stretch sections so much. If you were trying to get a specific look, try finding smaller sections to replace those. Really most of the ship is made of of big, ugly sections, and it isn't that interesting of a shape anyway, so starting anew might be in order. Really I have nothing against stock style but most consider it outdated, and there are a better variety of sections available in SWA style anyway. One other thing to think about; right now your ship is more reminiscent of a battleship than a mining vessel so you might want to either drop the current backstory or restructure the design. Vidboi recently put out a really cool looking mining vessel Here Not trying to be mean, but I think that would help.

It's not supposed to be a mining ship

Hi, go to the main menu of BSF, go to options there you will find colours keep pressing colours until you get to glow then slide all colour bars to the left et voila! glow is off. The other comments pretty much summed up the ships for me to be honest though.

Re: Some of my ships...
try covering up the core, I got scolded by moderators for not covering mine some time ago. Also, you should try custom weapon sprites instead of just shading the turret red or other colours
You have 2 different classes of ships, although they might be of the same general class, they should have some differences, if minute, in structure to house different functions. For example, the "Imperial" and "Victory" class Star Destroyers have slightly different designs although they are both Star Destroyers.

Re: Some of my ships...
To sum up the above posts: try and make your ships look like you have spent a decent amount of time on them, not post some random stuff and hope to get a gold star, or something
I'd say just start over, the ships you have currently posted are pretty much beyond help

Re: Some of my ships...
I decided to start an entirely new ship and tried some shading....

Re: Some of my ships...
yup, you've completly fucked up the shading in the center, and the pic is even more fubar.
The shape of the ship on the other hand IS interesting, except for the two sections stick out from the front.
The I would like to advise you to get some new sections from the custom content section of the forum.
Oh and you don't have to aegis stuff to make it look like it's aegised. We've got fake aegis for that now.

Re: Some of my ships...
I did use fake aegis...
it would also help if ou would explain why the shading is bad, and why you don't like the two front sections.

Re: Some of my ships...
The shading is poor because its a bit over dramatic if that makes sense, i actually really like this shape including the front two sections all though they could be smaller/smoother, nice use of engine flares, but that topmost section near the front the green one is just too light and it really should be covered by another section in my opinion. Also black doesn't really work to well in BSF as the background is black so your ships become invisible try using a dark grey for the black sections, this would also improve the shading.

Re: Some of my ships...
Maarten's criticsm has a point though, the streching and colors and such, you should look in the holy ships thread or look at posts of others all around, you might find some technique that appeals to you.
