This isn't great. I can applaud the attempt to remake stock ships, because after several new incarnations of the game they could certainly use an update. However this is a rather poor attempt.

I suggest you keep the whole thing stock green, or eliminate the over saturated colors entirely.

There are symmetry errors. The sections are a jumbled mess. Also, the weapons and modules seem to have almost no sense of good placement.

Honestly, all you have succeeded in doing is making something worse than the original.


If you want to improve upon other people's work first, I recommend that you become decent at building your own ships first.

um, first of all the weapon placements are similer just different weapons. autocan replaces blaster , machinegun replaces pulse.
-yes i tried to do this without sprites so its not as smooth

I don't think anybody here is in the habit of lying for fake cookies. :P

Anyway, the ship itself isn't too bad for a simple stock ship I guess, though I would depth those side arms a bit differently.
