The Sssuperguy Shipyards

True to the title, it's a shipyard.

Good? Bad?

Wow, This is pretty unique. I'm honestly not totally sure how I feel about it, but id say its pretty good for your first outing with custom sprites.

Well thanks, I think. Might add a couple of gun turrets later, but intill then those red flight markings will act as computer guided, rocket propelled double light sabers.

Looks quite nice. If I'd work harder getting all the SW sprites in the right place, I'd definitely download it for use. I have one question though: Do the little robotic arms move/rotate/do anything?

[sssuperguy1]

So far that's beyond my capability. For now. Everything I can do on shipmaker is from my own experimentation. Speaking of which, I am currently figuring out a way to make a cockpit (single sprite) have some translucent windows without making any custom sprites myself. Of course, that would be easier, but I don't feel like it right now. Anyways I took a sprite, gave it a 0.6 alpha value, and put 2 translucent, cyan colored sprites with the same basic shape that I needed under the first piece. Then below everything, I placed a copy of the origional sprite with an alpha value of 1. After all that it looks like this:

I also managed to delete most of the core but I can't get rid of that outlining circle. Any suggestions for any of this?

Well if you must do it that way, why use two sprites for the windows? Why not just use three of the sprite with the middle one as the window? Sprite count is an issue. Cutting apart sprites is really fun though, you should try it when you get time.

Well... jwa is right there. As for the core, try changing it to a core with no blue circle, for example the civillian core.
