Haha, yeah. What do you think of the rest of the ship? And what about the carrier? In my opinion, the carrier is worse (bad colour scheme), but i really don't know how to improve it...

grey isn't really a colour scheme so yeah but i like the general shape and dislike the sticky out thing which i presume is some sort of rotating satellite dish, but the rest of it i think is good. the second ship is the worse for me personally, i think the sprite pack you've used suits the blockier shape of the ships

Well, following your advise, i got rid of the rotating thing that sticks out on the carrier, and just cloned another one of my sections already on the ship and put it on top. I really don't know what i can do about the other one though... I'm going to start on building some other ships, since ive now got Horsemonster's realistic pack to work with ;)

EDIT: Heres a picture of the carrier now:

P.S. Thanks for telling me how to turn off parenting lines cheesyerwin.

Awww... no comments :( Anyway, i just made some fighters and bombers for my light carrier. I just based them off Droid's interceptor fighters (i think).

i will be brutally honest and i know there has already been a discussion about phallic ships but that cruiser is a penis lol .however its well made, but it needs colour though.

i really like the fighters you could make a proper ship using their shapes they are well done more colour though please.

ahh... i knew the sexual part of my ships would soon be discussed... i just knew it... lol.

ok, i'll probably add more colour to the penis cruiser probably just like what i did with the carrier.

Basically all your ships use the same shade of grey, and it is used throughout the entire ship. Try altering the shades of grey between groups of sections, so it has more depth and tone, and so they look more realistic

Um, hate to be a newb, but how do you change the shades?

its the only way everyone has to start somewhere, just use a lighter or darker custom colour, its in the define custom colours bit :)

Ok, apart from changing the shades a little, i also added the darkish green colour to all my ships, like what i did with the light carrier. (i might make a fleet out of it). I also made an assault carrier, just for fun.

i think the green in the centre is just a big block of green and should be broken up with some grey, i also think that both ships look flat in the middle but other than that, i like! much improved from your previous designs.

you should move the turrets further apart, they look too close together (they're also a little large)
