My first day with Shiny sprites.

First ship over here? Surprisingly well done. I suppose you have been lurking around le threads, hmm? ( O. o)/

For weapons, Horsemonster usually has pretty good set. Download the repack if you have not already. It includes pretty much all the important spirites and then some. HM weapons too.

It resembles a Klingon "Bird of Prey". Vaguely. The section layout is nice. just darken the bright yellow sections to match the green or use DDC_Flares . That will look better against the black space background in the game.

1. I have a smaller, modified version of this ship that I will be posting later this day, and it includes HorseMonsters weapon sprites.

2. I'll see if I can darken those shiny bits if I can.

Thanks for your opinions.

Also where can I get some nice looking doodads?

That I do not know. However alot can be accomplished with changing the colors, angles, and sizes of the default doodads. Nice effects can be done when using them in groups.

I've decided that this will be where I'll be posting my ships for the next few weeks, so stay tuned.

Also here is the Macro AN54-N8, a smaller, more versatile version than the Malbec.

And the Malbec AN94-N3, finished and with weapons.

Hmm, not bad. The orange glows under the dark green works great. This second ship doesn't seem to be as interesting as the first, the shape works well as a main body but I think it needs wings...

The Corva Tech Freighter. A big, slow, heavily armored (600 hp) freighter rented by only the biggest corporations in the universe.

Could be worked upon.

It looks like a freighter, but the wing connections being exposed would present a major weakness (It looks like there are engines on them too. You may want to cover those connections, after all, it is supposed to be heavily armored.

Moaar Ships!

Post by Majicnanas »

I've made three more ships, in less than 5 hrs. To me thats a long time. Anyways here they are.

Also Iv'e taken Zalausai's advice and remade the Freighter, and made it better. It is also relatively small when compared to my other ships , so it will be more of a private freighter for more "secret" cargo goodies.

I've started to use SW more than shiny since I've downloaded the repack.

Oh I like those blue ones! Very alien like and the wings look much better on your freighter.

Wow very nice. The Saturation does not bother me because of the dark sections and those fake aegis.
