You're a horrible person without the slightest idea of what a good ship is. Alternatively, you're a troll. Everyone else will say the same thing, so there's really not much point in posting ships like this. You ignored all the advice given to you in your first thread, that you made two months ago, and now you come back and paste something that's somehow worse. :|

It's not about remembering. It's about common sense. Besides, in those 2 months, you'd think you'd have had the time to check a few other threads, no?

Or practice and make something just a little better then your previous works. Like Anna said, this is somehow worse then those. So you went backwards.

I think you could figure it out if you tried, but heres some advice.
-go to the custom sprites section and download new stuff! Theres plenty out there and the downloads are mostly easy to find in the first posts so really no excuse there. All you need is 7-zip or some free program to unzip the .rar files and drop them in your custom sprites folder. There is even a .ini file someone made to automatically put many of the new sprites into the shipmaker menu so you don't have to drag and drop.

-Don't use special effects. You've altered the alpha and added aegis to parts of the ship. This does not improve the look; quite the opposite. Aegis is a rather ugly effect and if you must use it to make the ship more functional, there are ways to make it less obvious. Either applying it to shield sprites only or making it invisible so it only flares up when something hits it.

-Think out the ships you build. This does not really look like a ship, and the effects make it make even less sense. I don't remember what you built when you were here before but try just building the stock ships to start with and then play around with modding them. I know looking at Holy Ships can be intimidating but if you looked at even a few threads you would understand the negative reaction to what you've posted so far. Take some time and have fun making something that looks good to you. Hope that helps.

Don't use the SW weapon sprites with non-SW ships. It just looks bad.
Also, too dark.

1. It´s still very dark and no we don´t need to brighten up our monitors, I think you have to pull the sun out of yours.
2. The runway has no runway....
3. If it is a carrier, make it a bit more beefier, where are is your payload stored?
4. Center your core more efficient, I can see the circle at the back but not at the front.

well this is a light carrier not a holy ****ing carrier so it does not need to be huge and the core can do more in the center than in the front? the runway well your in space so do you really need a solid runway and there are shields and stuff so can't it be made of plasma?

It´s still a bit too slim, where do you store your ships? Where are the crewquarters, storage/supply room, I think you´re getting what I mean. Kay, your runway is an energyfield, try to place something at its place make it transparent with alphafade, you did make an border, so it´s looking kinda weird. Placing the core more centerd or more backwards leads to a more realistic movement of your ship. It´s looking weird if a ship pivots at its front.
