Recently over the past couple of days i have been able to make a small fleet. This is what I have so far, suggestions and tips are welcome. Ender.

I order these from most recent to oldest

Don't mix DST-ori and normal SW sprites. They don't fit well together.
That said, these aren't half bad. The shapes are decent, for the most part, and you've avoided weaponspam and exccessive section repetition, which are some typical newbie mistakes.

I realized that after using dst ori sprites on more of my recent ships that they didnt look that well so i just used sw sprites and shinys on the more recent ones. is that ok or should I just keep them apart.

Mixing Shiny and normal SW sprites is also a bad idea, as they both have different styles.

Shiny and DST are a good combonation though.

I like all of the ships except for firefly--the tip looks a bit bland.

Silver,

Do you think i should add more parts to make a 2nd generation one or should i just delete that one all together

That really depends on you... if you feel that you've improved to the degree that it would cost less time to build a new ship from scratch than to fix your old ships, by all means.

However, I really doubt that... so I would say maybe you should see how much you can improve with these before moving on.

Note: there are dst sprites which have been reshaded to match sw sections, as well as having the colors removed. I think they should be available in the custom sections area and are called Dst-swnc.
