My First Uploaded Ship, Criticism appreciated!

Post by Satin181 »

Hi, just finished my first ship in a few years and wondered what you all thought of it.

It's called The Wrath of Ignis Looks better in grey but to lazy to change.

Well, this certainly is one big shipsie, I tell ya. The use of custom spirites and then stock weapons kinda clashes with each other, but.. well.. not so bad. Must have taken while to build this, hmm?

Just for further ships, use custom weapon spirites if you use custom spirites. Or then neither.

The sectionwork is nice, but the colors clash. You may want to darken one of them (green or blue) by at least 33% - 50%. The darker greens can be ignored for recoloring, their color is fine.

Thanks! I am currently reworking it but I am finding trouble getting my hands on a kae-esqe Twin Railgun sprite. Do you know of any?

I'm not really a fan of green and blue together, but you sort of made it work! Pretty good for your first ship, but remember to use those weapon sprites. :P

Try the Horsemonster detailed weapon sprites included in the shipmaker repack. You may like HM_wepDoubleMediumCannon and HM_wepDoubleSuperCannon for that purpose.

This ship scares me, it looks like a giant bug! Another thing you may wanna look at is the engines, they don't really match the rest of the ship :p

Thanks but it isn't really my first ship. just my first uploaded ship. I probably have built 70-80 ships a few years ago.
