sorry that it's been a while since my first post - i got busy with my school life, etc. so i didn't have time making ships ^^; anyway, i made 5 new ones:

oO That first one(and the variations by extension) is actually quite nifty looking. The big one shows up as somewhat blurry for me so its hard to tell much though it looks ok unzoomed, but that first one is an excellent start to a fleet!

These are gorgeous. The progression of design on the fighters is interesting and the carrier is rather fine as well. I usually shun the use of the sw stock sprites, but in this case, I think you've made them look pretty decent. I would love to see this thing in combat.

It's nice to see someone decent still building. It kinda makes me want to try again.

Also, where did you get that shield sprite?

They're GSB Shields. I got it from the Shipmaker repack found in the.... Custom Sprites Section, I think...

I reposted the carrier for you guys. Also, note that the large core in the center spins rapidly.

In regards to the fleet's combat performance, let's just say that I implemented the "Gundam 00" approach, wherein a big, powerful carrier holds four badass fighters capable of destroying entire fleets - may they be alone or as a group altogether ^^. anyway, i posted a group picture, as well as a picture of the fleet in combat.

Hmm, well not my favorite sprites, but the design and use is fairly clean and well thought out. You obviously had a design in mind and executed it, which is the main thing for me. Are you working on a download for these?

these are really cool and a down load would be awesome

Hark! the most-awaited download is here!

Notes:
1. you'll need the shipmaker repack for the ships to work (found in Custom Sprites Section)
2. place the "Imperia Terra Navy ^^" folder inside the custom ships folder

that's all!

When I saw the smaller ships, I knew they should remind me of something, mostly due to the colors... and then I saw their names, and the descriptions .
I tried the ships ingame, and I liked the Excellion, however the fighters are too small, being scaled down too much IMHO (I like them at their presentation size in your first post though). Their size is ok for a fighter though, I guess you should use smaller sections for making those.

Also a little bit of nitpicking, the shield section that you used is not just borders, so you should always place it at Depth=1, otherwise it might look weird in some places, like in the rear of the Excellion. Also, I would have criticized the green color you chose for the shield, but I won't since it's totally fitting for GN particles .

i was actually thinking about having the shield depth=1, but i didn't know how to hide the nanomatrix since its parented to the shield section. in fact, it's only until recently that i found out about setting alpha=0 to hide them ^^. Also, i read the gundam wiki and found out that the gundams were around 1/10 the size of the ptolemaios 2, so that's why they're pretty small (they make up for it in firepower though,... ^^)
