I'm inclined to agree. Your section usage is pretty much perfect.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Most ships that should carry fighters now have them, and fighters behave correctly and even dogfight to a degree. This is a test for the omega destroyer from B5 using a cheap trick, but I removed some of the stuff while I was working on it, so the end result will look better. Sorry I suck at making gifs but its fairly smooth in game.

Post a download so I can see how the animation looks in game?

Ok, this is just the omega. I'm working on ways to make it smoother cuz it jumps alittle bit at the corners. Also, anyone play a rather dated game called independence war?

Another cloned section with 0 alpha, additive blending section effect (section above/under will be the best), and fade trigger may simulate the depth of the moving parts. But sadly this "Effect" can be destroyed by other weapon...

Hmm, interesting idea. I'll fool with it a bit.
Rebuilt the Terran Battlecruiser three times, thats as close as I can get it I think, though its still not quite right.

It looks pretty good. Given the work you've put into it, even if it does look a little off from the source, I still like it. Although, those white/depthed sections stand out a bit too much. I think a slightly darker shade would look better.

Jwa, you're the god of fanships. I applaud you.

Considering the proof of ocd and lack of social life that implies, I may have to be insulted
I believe this is one of maybe three capitol ships I have left to work on, but can't decide it it looks good or not. Basically spammed the same section and things got alittle weird trying to line bits up at those odd angles. What do you guys think?

Angles are little off.
But still... You're awesome

Thanks. I'm still fooling with it so changing the angles may actually help.
Couldn't find many good sources but I think this is reasonably close. If anyones played the game or has a good source let me know cuz I was working from rather liberal renderings. Protoss mothership.

The best I could find:

The main color needs to be more goldeny, otherwise good job.

^Click it for full-size.

Green areas can be recoloured to whatever.

Middle rotating section makes a full revolution once every 50 seconds.

*blinks* Thats...almost entirely different than what I was using, but I actually like components of it better. I doubt I'll redo the whole thing or that I could get it to look like that anyway, but stuff like the rotation wasn't even on the other one so I'll combine elements. Thanks both of you, thats awesome.

Well, you are using concept-art mothership. Use more yellow.
