It looks more like a turret to me. The random lights that pop up are... random, and don't contribute to the rest of the ship (or turret). The actual hull of the ship needs to be more defined, because at the moment it looks like there isn't a hull, so you could probaly make it a bit bigger

I will NOT modify the shape of the ship. I may add exhaust nozzle and remove some lights... but hey, I like this ship.

Edit.
I will NOT modify the shape of the ship.

i like the orange one small but good section usage and shading the others are a bit meh though, the sections on the big space shuttle just don't fit right, but the asymmetric ship is pretty good i just don't like the section you've used in the middle(replace it?). Liking the back ground change to.

lol, I like what you've done with these, however i have to complaints the front orange sections on the second ship kinda mess with the flow and the rear two orange sections on the first ship look odd other than that I like them, its an interesting shape to explore and Im impressed that you've managed to use Kae's generic sections so well.

More ships please and bigger :)

I spend 2h creating this ship, and looking for suitable sections, but you're right. I nedd to replace them.

Both as in go in both directions.
I think the little wing thingies on the side of the smaller one should be placed just a bit more inside the ship. Now both the back and the front ruin the flow.

The second ship just looks like it could break speed limits, great job. But preacher is right.

it's the sections in the centre behind it that's breaking the coherenced (thou shalt not say flow) (damn) try puting a pointy triangular kind of sprite in front of them (should be the smae width where they join) on the second one and moving the front a bit further forwards. hopefully it should work

The colors are terribad. Changing the red to grey or something that actually fits orange would make it look much better. The reverse would also probably work. The engines stick out too much at the moment. It's mainly a color issue though. I'd also prefer the default background but whatever...
Now, disregarding the colors, they're pretty decent. Tbh, just removing the rearmost engine with the red sections at the sides would make both ships better.

Y'all might be missing the point by just a little bit. These ships aren't any good because they're simply too simple. To be honest, the sections aren't used in any way that would suggest an aesthetically pleasing shape, even at this size. They lack detail and depth at that, probably because of the section choices in question. Of course, the color scheme is a little ugly, but that can be fixed quickly.

And GodJesus don't tell me you actually spent two hours on these.

I guess you could try building a stockier ship with a less demanding shape and see if you can weave some good sectionwork into it.

No the colours aren't, you just don't like them because you love greyish with something else.

Added is a picture with some things that I would like to comment on:
First off, in green: 2500st, this would happen if you erased the engines, these 2 section would become useless, and create bad flow.(sorry vidboi.) Then in blue: I would place the rear engine here and offcoarse mirror it.
in pink: Are these holes in your ship?

Sorry for the terribad paint edit, I just wasn't going to waste time photoshopping it.

@Maarten: *Facepalm* The colors are bad, period. And I never said he had to use gray I even contradicted the engines being gray.

As for the engines, I meant engine, my bad. The red sections still wouldn't create bad flow. Also, you can't create bad flow.

ED: @Starstuck: Therefore simple =bad?
ED2: They fit together. It's the shapes created from what's fit together that doesn't fit together. :lol:
Ending the 'war' right here. PM me if you want to continue. It's the overall shapes (created by sections that actually fit together decently) that don't fit together.

Oh no you don't. My last good color scheme was freaking solid turd maroon with smoked poppywort yellow. Granted, it had some gray bits, but this one has them too.

...maybe I retract my point. This color scheme could be done well if arranged right...

ED: @2500st: Slippery fucking slope. It's only bad when there's like... seven sections on each side and they don't even fit together.
ED2: The hell did you even just say? I am not having this edit war with you.
