An "Alien" Fleet =0

Well, I making 3 Fleets. Two are 'Humans', and the last are some aliens. Very little in the way of modding, and if it is, it's either subtle, or balanced.

Anyway, here is the alien fleet:

Image
(Note, they appear Teal if Friendly, Purple/pink if Hostile)

1) Firefly. Fast, light armour armed with two Quad Blasters that have additional range (1000) and damage (35)

2) Cruiser. Thinner armour that other ships like it, but much faster

3) Dread Cruiser. Fairly fast, and thin skinned, but the Mega Beamer does double damage :o

4) Battle Cruiser. Finally a ship with armour. The Six Deflectors can cover much of it's frontal flank.

5) Frigate. Small, fast, weak, but annoying as hell to kill. Darts around poking you with its pulse guns. (they do less damage, but have a higher clip size).

6) Destroyer. Heavy armour, quite slow, and all weapons facing forward. Very vulnerable to flank attacks.

7) Battleship. It has multilayer armour, with 18 blasters per side. It also has a Gluon Bolter, Teller torpedo. Most sections, except the big front two only have one weapon per segment, making the boosters weaker.

8 ) Haven't figured out a name yet :x It's got okay speed and armour, and the two rear mounted Tachyons have triple shot, extra range, and do a bit more damage.

Need name idea for ship #8 :(

They don't look very alien. At all. In fact, they use almost entirely "human" parts.

They look more alien then they are purple >_>

Any ideas to make them more 'alien' then?

In general, alien ships use the more pointy, exotic pieces, and don't use flat surfaces as heavily as your ships do.

I'd admit, some of them do have allot of flat surfaces, but the Destroyer/battleship are suppose to be more durable. Mixed up the Assault and Battlecruiser. Here is the Actual Battle Cruiser:

Edited Firefly:

I'll work on some of the others two . . .

Sides will stay flat, Looks more tough, and less delicate than a pointy side.

Like both new and old.

Aliens don't have to be spikey, only the realy evil ones do.

Will they be uploaded to ship database?

Suggestion; use some of the "wing" pieces to add various sharp extrusions from the otherwise flat battleship's surface. It'll look a lot more menacing, trust me. ;)

Still a Work in progress. No weapons/Modules on it yet, and I haven't mirrored it yet.
