The Phazion Holo Fleet ships are under construction and will be improved based on how people react to them.
Frelone Battleship

Update 1: New Broadside style ship completed. Also Ill try to think of a back story for you nice and kind people.
Branitive Support Cruiser

These ships are mostly for battle not looks! So don't complain.
Update 2: Ive started using a layer and shading effect used by other people to make my ships look better. Still working on the back story but i expect it to be done soon.
Image
Starfield Cruiser made for distracting enemy ships.
Image
Inginor Battleship designed for looks but can still turn the tide of battle.
Update 3: Well after putting little thought into this Ive decided to get sprites and work with them for a little I probably won't update this for a while when i get the sprites anyways Ive half-baked the last ship for the fleet I might finish it. :D

Saria Assault Cruiser
Take and modify these ships as much as you want. Ask questions about the ships and Ill probably answer them.

Ya, but ships like these aren't really excting to look at, whether they're static or in battle. They're not bad for a first timer, but you basically need to aim higher than that, from now on

And what is with that group of rail guns on the second ship? Why don't you just make one of them rotate freely? :?

Personally I like my ships but who said the creators vote counted? Well the reason i put holo fleet is for me to be able to use the stock parts. Also the group of railguns is on a rotating piece which rotates the railguns for faster firing. Well because they need more details as you say where can i found holographic type sprites?

Personally I kind of like the rotating railgun turret thingy because it is, well, an uncommon design.
Your ships are great for a start, notibly because the aren't covered with weapons. Just remember to improve your ship building skills with every ship.

Your inginor battleship looks pretty good actually.(IMO) The starfield cruser is also nice (kinda reminds me of BSG but anyway).
For future refrence try not to shrink gun sprites like you did on the sides of the starfield.

Overall this is an improvement, just keep it up.

Thanks and Ill keep trying to get better but I'm having trouble finding sprites that can be mixed with the stock sprites. For some reason I like the stock sprites. :|

Why don't you just use the new sprites instead?

It's okay, just don't expect too much love from most of the other members, as today we (most of us) use SW sections due to the 'realistic' look that they have as opposed to the 'retro' sections that you like. Just search through the custom content section, you'll find something eventually.
