Re: Anna's High Guard Ships - 4th Ship on Page 2
Well I think he was just using that as an example of the design style the commonwealth might follow. Incidentally it was a foolish question on my part because the slip rails seem to require symmetry. At most, one might see a tri-rail design with a asymmetrical hull lengthwise.
Good stuff on the new ship, sorry for not noticing it right away. That layered armor lends it an organic look, though that maybe as much the sprites as anything. Are these behemoths going to get any enemies?

Now this is fucking cool shit. Just goes to show what new techniques can do to an old design. The repetition works pretty well, and the designs are still as stunning as ever. Great job.
My one and only nitpick I have, but this has been said before, is the dark blue-grey ish color. Something lighter and more royal-ish might work well for these ships.
Either way, wonderful work. Seeing these, I might roll back into the business myself...hmm. *evil scheming*

Next ship is mostly complete, just need to clean it up, arm it, whatever.
I know it's really messy. That's the problem with trying to make ships this big. So much space to fill in...

The new gilgamesh has appeared!!!
its not really messy, to be honest. The front does have that same serious repetition, but with the size of the ship its totally excused.

Re: Anna's High Guard Ships - 4th Ship on Page 2
The repetition is a bit unsightly, but if that's going to be cleaned up well (and knowing you, I'm sure it will) then w/e.
Is there a reference pic or did you make this up yourself following the style of the others? I ask because I'm not quite feeling the dimensionality of the thing and knowing what you were going for would help.
In particular, where the light and dark braces meet in the back seems rather awkward.

Hmm, I like the design itself, but the repetition is a tough call. Obviously you did it skillfully and as you said there are only so many ways to make a monster like that. If anything, I'd say it needs additional details to camouflage the repetition. Either Generators, weapon mounts, glows, etc; or other similar sections to break up the tiling. For example where you have a row of sections like 186, use sections like 171 that don't have such a heavy gradient(seriously Kaelis, we need more of those) to link them.
Regardless, few have your ability to use small sections, even repetitiously, to create such elaborate designs. I've enjoyed seeing this fleet evolve!

Re: Anna's High Guard Ships - 4th Ship on Page 2
The repetition is well done, and I can oversee most of it, except the front. The front part is... really just a blob of sections. I'm sure you can fix that part. It needs more detail and far more different sections. Otherwise, repetition has always been the only decent way to make a ship this size without custom sections, and you executed it properly.

I think you should make more high guard ships there amazing (I wish I could make ships like that).
Re: Anna's High Guard Ships - 4th Ship on Page 2
For some reason, I kind of like the repetition. Kinda reminds me of scales, or some kind of segmented armor plates.
Basically, even your repetition is awesome.

The Promised Dawn's central section looks a little flat, especially for a Anna ship. It's nice, though, aside from the ugly stubby turrets.
The Harmony of One is really nice, but I think it may look better with the turrets colored to the hull.

That's pretty close to a necro, dude, and Silver isn't around much anymore.
None of us are, for that matter.
*sigh* I miss the old Wyrdysm...

Not much of one since it wasn't even a quarter of the way down the page. Which is pathetic...
