Enjoy. Not balanced to anything, in most cases.

O_O ooh, nice! It looks almost as good as some of the masterpieces that use Shiny sprites, and this one just uses stock!
Best scene in a TV show ever:
"Problem with the transfer tube?"
"No, not really. It seems like every time I get into the tube, Mr. Garibaldi is there. It's like he knows."
"Talia, Mr. Garibaldi is many things, but he's not omniscient." [Garibaldi appears]
"I think I'll take the stairs."
"I think I'll join you."

Wait a minute, didn't you criticize me for using Stock-Sw? You are just using Stock!
Just kidding. Once again, theses ships look really good. I like the yellow and gray paint. It really looks good with stock.
Keep up the good work!

Oh. My bad.
Still, how did you figure out your coloring scheme? Did you just mess around until it worked?

I generally start with a colour scheme in mind, and colour as I go. Here it was a light yellow and gray, on a couple of others its different. I have a pink one, which didnt turn out as well as I'd hoped as well. Posting pics soon. Watch this space.

EDIT:

Image

-Intended to be a corvette, or drone.

Image

-Intended to be a survey vessel. I -hate- this ship.

EDIT 2:

Image

- Something Random from a while ago, an Interceptor Frigate... or something.

I really like that first one, the barely asymmetrical fighter type thing. It looks really nice.

You're right, the support vessel is pretty bad, however I'm intersted in the glowy core (Which has been done before) and how you made it (Which is probably a stupid question since its probably very obvious. The drone is equal to rainbows in awesomeness levels (That is to say, 120%) and is very well done. I'm interested in the frigate, it looks like it has potential that hasn't been released yet, maybe if you worked on it it'll become something pretty awsome.
I think the induction of "LOL" "OMG" and "<3" into the Oxford English Dictionary is a sign of the End Times. Only, instead of a rider on a pale horse, it'll be a gibberish-spewing spastic in a monster truck named "The Dildozer".

The core effect is one of Danny420Dale's sprites, then another one stretched. Then make a weapon, Set it as the stretched core's driver and set it's turning stat to zero. This way you'll get the line always horizontal, Mass Effect-style.

EDIT: This only works on the basis that the ship is spawned perfectly horizontally.

Shiny...
Siliness aside, that seems like a pretty darn nice representation of the alchemy spaceship, the weapons flow with the body and the outlining makes it more vivid. Those two triangular sections at the front bother me slightly however overall its pretty well done! Good job! Where did you get those sprites by the way (Which I'm assuming are Danny's) I can't find the thread for it.

The Circular Glows are DDC_Flares, by Danny420Dale. I got them from the all-in-one spritepack by the builder. I got the long yellow beam-like sprite from MelvinVm's BEAMU folder, also from the spritepack.
