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!

First off, welcome to the forums. I'm no big fan of mechas in BSF, so I'll shut up about those, over to the ships. The XV-1 looks decent for a newbie, good usage of the alien sections there. It's a little small and simple to give extensive criticism but you have at least avoided many beginner mistakes. The second ship me no likey. The saucer-shaped back is too much in contrast with the (cluttered) front. The whole thing looks lopsided. The third ship is, in my opinion, the best of the bunch. It may be a little busy, but I like the shape and execution. I'm not saying 'wow that's great' but it's decent. Try to clean it up a little bit, maybe a speck of color here and there and you're golden.
