New Fleets

Post by Deathgod65 »

These are the navies of the 3 main factions in my universe : The United Terran Nations Navy, The Republic of Eridanus Navy and The Osean Union Navy.

Howdy there. First and foremost, screenshots are preferred at default zoom with all but the smallest of ships.

Secondly, just as a personal tip. When you submit such a high volume of ships at one time, most people look at the first two and stop caring. You may want to submit more over time instead.

Overall, the only especially prevalent problem I see with the ships is the stretching/shrinking of sections. Usually distorting them by .1 or .2 in a direction is alright, but in places here I think it's more than that and just looks bad. I recommend you look for more appropriate sections, rather than force one to fit into the space you want it to go.

If this thread garners more attention or more ships, then I may do individual assessments. Happy building.
