my newer ship that i have made

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.

See and therefore we deph our ships with diffrent shades to create the illusion of mass, with your current ship I only get a mass feeling from the centerparts, the other sprites give me a wing vibe so no mass. If I would extrapolate a big depth in the middle te design is getting worse not better.

To show you what I mean, I took the freedom to recreate your ship.
1. I used parts that fit together, tried to connect them, not slap them together.
2. 5 different shades of grey
3. Weapon placement without shrinking the weapons to small pixel clusters
4. Funcionaltity. Starting in the front, landing in the back.

No, I don´t want to show you my way, I want to improve yours.
I had two choices:
a) screaming in agony and getting blind by eyecancer
or
b) give constructive advice and criticism

I choose the latter.

And by the way, my way is asymmetry.

I took my time in the beginnings and took advise to improve myself.
I still shudder if I think back to my first ships.

Yes, it is somewhat better than the ther two. There's at least a sense of mass there.
The Y-shaped runway looks wierd though.

@Nubiscle: thats why we have air traffic controllers,
On the ship the outline is a good shape but you need more internal details to improve it, you seem to have grasped the basics of depthing now add other smaller sections to create features. Maybe some stripes/decals on the actual hull itself and try and break up that large shape made by the two sections in the middle it feels like its been slapped on. Other than that good effort.

ok i have been screwing around with vidboi's sections and i have made a ship i rather like. i call the ESF Lorience
tell me if i need to have it more depth and c&c please

In the mid 23rd century the Elsmairen space fleet (or the ESF) decided that they needed a general purpose destroyer to crush the constant rebels uprisings across the colony's with in the Elsmairen space and so the Lorience class destroyer was born. It was a quick hit with in the fleet so much that it became the stranded destroyer for the fleet that each time there was a fight it was almost always there. it is atmosphere rated and can deliver 10000 troops and 500 tanks straight to the battlefield via drop pods or going low to the ground and opening the rear drop bay door. It has four mk1 250mm little brother MAC cannons that can fire up to a rate of 20 rounds and minute and 4 flak turrets stationed around the ship at strategic points and a mk2 big brother MAC cannon that can fire up to 15 round a minute and it's the new version of the mk1 little bother MAC cannon and this one is placed on top of the ship for maximum combat use versatility. It has 2 ion subspace engines and 1 fusion subspace engine and a mk7 warp drive. IT has type-A titanium armor and at its thickest is 5 meters and at this thinnest is 3 1/2 meters. This ship is a must in any ESF fleet and is used by many high ranking admirals across the fleet for its firepower and survival rate of any ship in the fleet.
