YEah so I've been working on these new ships and I have finally decided to post it up along with some WFTU stuff (IF they ever let me back in [Arcalane still hasn't replied to my pm that I sent him a few days ago]).

Some of this stuff is just junk and some of it comes from the RandomAssShit folder so be very critical please.

Press "P" in the future to turn off parenting lines before taking screenshots.

Also don't use the thruster sprite you made. Just don't. It's really poor quality and does not mesh with shiny sections well at all.

The cargo ship looks nasty, the hauler is semi-decent but needs more detail, the Dom' Kass is just bad, and everything else is kind of average. One of the problems with your designs is that you use lots of really big sections, even on smaller ships. If you look at how other people in the WFTU do it, you'll see that smaller sections combined together can produce more detailed and interesting looking ships. Larger sections are almost only ever used to represent flat armoured plate areas on big ships.

Hide the parenting lines by going into preview mode with F11. Take new screenshots without them, it'll detract from the ships less. Don't forget to press the HOME key to bring the zoom to normal before taking your screenshots. That will allow accurate size comparisons.

crap forgot about the preview mode on most of these. Oh and Anna I know it is horrible, I have made a few more sprites that don't look as horrible though.

Oh and Im not don with the huge hauler been at that one for almost a week now

Okay, okay, you know the thruster sprite is horrible. Riddle me this, then: Why the fuck are you still using it if you know it's bad!?

Eh, on the cargo ship I was just seeing how it looked on a ship and on the Ra' Tuhem ships it is just a placeholder untill I improve it.

First rule of placeholders and stopgaps: Approaching the design of something as a stopgap is asking for it to end up unchanged in the final product.

da fuq is a stopgap?

Makeshift something you use if the real product is delayed but you need something to fill the role fast.

thank you (replaced because I just recently realized it sounded like a smartass comment and not a real thank you)

If you are concerned about your ship quality, go look in my thread early on. We all have to start somewhere. Just build ships using a few sections. You'll be amazed how many things you can do with 20 sections.

Also, stop insulting your own ships. It doesn't help you or anyone else. People are more inclined to help others when they aren't depressed on themselves. I think it will be helpful if you practice with basic sections. Such as stock SW. People will be more accepting if they at least see you practicing (even if it is with stock stuff).

Thanks Zalausai, I will take your advice to heart!

NEW SHIP! Not done yet, still editing for awesome. It will move and have glows/doodads. But right now all I can get it to do is have one arm go back and forth while its hand/claw thing turns around in a circle at 300 mph

Did you read the turret tutorial?
Also, you probably have the "borders" disabled.
