Probably bad ships.

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

Nice, nice. Needs some doodads, maybe a glow here and there, and it'll look quite nice.

That happens to you pretty often, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does. :/


Anyway, here is my second attempt that i didn't forget to save. Hopefully.

...i went a bit overkill on the glows.

Hmmmm. I think it looks better than your previous attempt. (Good thing you didn't save the last one, I guess. :P)

I'd say the glows aren't overdone at all. The biggest problem is the white stripes that you seem to have forgotten to apply alpha to. Maybe you could touch up the central glow so it doesn't look as grainy.
(If you want glow overload, check this beauty of mine viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7200&start=15#p128615 :P )

Well, i kinda stopped doing stuff, but now im back.
As always, i abandoned the previous ship, meh.
Luckily i was able to force myself to create this ship within one day.

I do like this one much more though.

The 4 middle guns are... awkward, maybe i'll change that later.

It has some kind of weird forcefield that slows down all enemy bullets. I dunno.




the glowverload was really good though, just saying

Nice, except the weapons don't fit in that well. Why?


You see, it's a common mistake - you placed weapons onto the ship without taking sections underneath into consideration, so they look like they're glued onto the ship instead of looking like a part of the ship. When doing the sectionwork you need to take weapons into account and vice versa.


Other than that, I like it. It looks pretty nice.

Yea, I frequently don't even put weapons on my ship, because they break up the sexy hull. It's why I now will put integrated hardpoints. Sometimes I cop out and put invisible lasers or sparkle cannons on top of glows.
