Man my old topic has fallen back to the 4th page. Anyway I have a new ship, any suggestions for a change on the main turret's sprite (I have no idea which one would work).

I present the Flare Class Frigate (no connection to the flare gun)

It has 2 particle guns and a modified vulcan (8 shots 80 damage a piece).

C&C Please

*EDIT* see page 2 for my better ships (ignore the first one please)

The gatling on the front is the main gun. Also I meant to leave the core uncovered just because I think it looks kind of cool (I put a fader doodad over it).

That gun is from HorseMonster's detailed weapons pack. Please do learn what the hell you're talking about, lonewolf. The gun as it is is fine, and the ship itself is fairly decent too. You might want to darken the section underneath the turret though, Icy. It might help the weapon stand out a bit more. Some brighter, up-raised armor sections on the back might be good as well, since the rear of the ship is kinda dark and bland compared to the front and center portions.

I scraped that sprite because it appeared to not be centered and i couldn't get it to look good.

Is this any better?

Are the sprites over the engine any good?

Thanks, I feel accomplished for getting this ship branded as "fairly decent."

(If I'm not mistaken that vulcan was a custom one added by arcalane to horsemonster's pack of weapons.) <---(for lonewolf)

Wow no replies... I guess everyone actually has a life then.

The Flare grew in to a battlecruser, aka the Luminecence Class Battlecruser

That big cylinder thing on the front is actually an autocannon designed to punch through enemy armor. It is also my first triggered section that I have ever done. :)

C&C please on this ship and this one too

Both of these ships are fairly decent, considering how long you've been building.


The blue sphere the represents the core needs to go. Consider using fancier methods of representing one your ships.

There are plenty of good examples of cores around these forums, so you should have no lack of material to inspire you.

You can also go the route of having no discernable core at all, if you please.

That new one is awesome. I love the blue glows on it. Pesonally, I'm not too fond of the engine but thats just my taste. I would also like to see some glows near the back, but thats also just taste.

The rear of the ship is too dark. I can't really see it too well.
