Ships. C&C. Looking to improve. Loving the game.

Spoiler!

Moves to:

Some reworking, added color, more pronounced engine pods, and a reactor.

Not my favorite group or combination of sprites but very interesting designs overall.

as jwa said, the designs are interesting, and it's always good to see new forum members posting!

i like the first ship quite a lot. the engines and rear section are very nicely done. something bugs me about the overall shape though, but i'm not quite sure what it is =/ the second and third ones just look a bit too spindly, and i think adding more pronounced engines too them like on the first would make them look a little more built up without losing the overall look. you also miht want to look at using doodads, glows and colouring to add to the appearance of the ships

[Arcalane]

Look again, vidboi. The second one is clearly the first one with some use of moving/rotating sections.

They're all rather flat and bland though. Too much plain white.

[vidboi]

Good point, I should have noticed that earlier... But yeah, the flat, white, blandness is the main negative point with these ships, and they could do with a mixture of recolouration and added detail, such as more functional looking parts like engines and reactors

Gave the shiny sprites a try. Input?

(Oh, and I updated the OP with a redone version of one of those ships. C&C on that too please.)

[aurix_darastrix]

So, I made something else with the shiny sprites.

On another note, I really do need constructive criticism. I know my ships aren't as good as they could be, and I want to get better.

[vidboi]

these ships are quite good, but i really feel that they need more detail to break up the large flat areas

[flabort]

I thought shiny sprites were better for large flat areas
While too many flat areas are, yes, a bad thing, I though shiny sprites lessened the need to fill in details. I think it looks pretty nice already.
