Sensei ships

[Doogie12]

Because making solid, geometric shapes look good is brutally hard. The Ziggurat is practically as fat as I could make it, and even then it starts to suffer from clutter.

[Zalausai]

Still probably faster at building ships than me. The HG X Lucifer (99 sections) took at least 6 hours (not all at once though).

[Doogie12]

Oh hey, I armed the Sparrow-Hawk and re-armed the Ziggurat as a carrier, due to Starstruck's need for them.

I did run into an error I had not seen before with the fighterbays, however due to pure habit i ignored them before I processed it. And then I couldn't replicate it...sad.

Seriously doogie you are the fucking best of bests

[Doogie12]

I respectfully disagree.

[Miram]

I respectfully disagree.

errr you are.. ok just forgot >->

[Doogie12]

I would actually like some criticism on this one guys. Just saying.

Oh and well.. criticism... well..

The two beam cannon batteries on front do seem bit like eyeballs... maybe change their color juuuuust a little bit darker. Lol. Thats the only thing I can complain about...

[Anna]

R0ni, your fucking faux-japanese weeaboo shtick is getting old really fast. Drop all the stupid honorifics and tone down the stupid emotes please.

Doogie, there gets to be a point where critique becomes difficult. This ship is 100% fine as it is and I would change practically nothing. And that's me talking. My only real issue is that the shape of the ship itself is very bland. The outer bits are kinda messy and junky, but I'm assuming that's intentional, and it definitely works.

If you use mirroring for any reason, give it a quick look through and make sure that there are no duplicated sections.
The color scheme is green with blue doodads. If you want a triad color scheme, adding some areas that are small and orange would help with this. Such as a few antennae with orange doodad blinkfaders on the tips. The engine glows help with this part, but adding some to the front of the ship wouldn't hurt.
You may disagree, but it's worth giving a try to at least see how it looks..

Hot damn, Doogie. How the hell are we supposed to top that?

[Doogie12]

@Anna, That pretty much outlines all my irrational fears about this beauty. But when building this large, controlling the shape is rather difficult.
@Zal, I usually mirror as I put single sections. It works so I can see how tis unfolding. And the color schemes shouldn't be so structured. Although, I typically use one color as the "energy color" and for this its blue, as its armed only with pulse beams.
@SS, You and Anna here are just as good, if not better. I remember your cool thing with the reflective glows that I couldn't tell was made in bsf at all.

[Anna]

I might have once been as good as you, Doogie, but I am so out of practice that 90% of everything I attempt to make in Shipmaker comes out as ass these days. Right now, you're definitely my superior, and that is really painful for me to admit, but it's true. The main reason for me messing with Shipmaker the last week or two is because you made me feel inadequate.
