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.
I will say I like the very front part with the mecha sections; it creates a cool looking internal shape. Sounds like you worked hard on the effects too.
2 new ships up there, allso would like some specific advice, ive tried using more interesting color schemes a lot but anything that isnt very neutral seems to look terrible and ugly.
The Torpedo Bomber looks decent. Otherwise, I won't call 'em bad, they're just rather bland... Add some detail, little small doodads, tiny animations, some decals perhaps... Add colour. I agree, Shiny is harder to colour if you don't know what you're doing. It's easy to make it look awfully garish. Still, this is easily helped by taking almost-grays. At least, that's what I found. Some bits can be used with brighter colours, to make them feel like 'plating'.
