Netharis' Ships and... stuff.

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

Internet quota finally refreshed so I can start posting ships without losing my sanity. Yay!
Finally finished the asymmetrical, sort-of-large ship.
This is more or less the completed form unless there are any glaring errors that I've overlooked.

Also, glowed up the smaller green ship.

I'm currently working on a stock-attempt and an SW-attempt as a follow up to the Dst-attempt.
As a side note, I've decided to start trying to name my ships because... why not?

As always C&c is welcome.

Random small-ish ship.

I'm currently attempting to make a ship with a more interesting shape. Let's see how that goes.

Man, I forgot how hard it was to make SW ships.
Great stuff, as always.
When trying to make unique shapes, I'd say that you should let yourself go and just put sections that look good together with no restrictions.

The repeated section use on Anarchy is done well.

Unfortunately, I don't really like the big asymmetrical ship for some reason. Can't really put my finger on it.
The others are top-notch work that I have no real complaint with.

Tis looks more like a station than a ship.

@Doogie,
Yeah... I ended up cheating a bit with the repeated sections.
I've been trying that, but I keep ending up with jumbled messes. I probably just need more practice.

@Zal,
Ah, that was the bit I was most worried about on this ship.

@Calvin,
Well, I can't really help that, thought I'd really like to hear the reason why should you ever find out.

@Doogie... again,
I suppose it COULD pass for either. Perhaps making the engine flares more visible would help it lean more towards the "ship" side, though.

My attempt at non-static doodads and a slightly less-boring shape (gif in the spoiler):

The flat landing bay/pad looks a bit out of place, it doesn't fit the whole style of the ship.

I'm not an expert though, so that's just my opinion.

Hmm, it looked pretty good on its own, but I guess I didn't consider it relative to the rest of the ship.

That whole ship is absurdly good and the shading is fantastic.

^It's really more of an acquired sense you get after lots and lots of practice. We all started out really awful, but look at us now.

@Anna,
Thanks, Anna. :)

@turtwig,
What Doogie said.
Keep at it (or, well, start it seeing as you haven't posted any ships yet.)
Don't forget to check out the other veterans' ships for inspiration. Maybe one of the others' building style(s) would match yours better.

Edit:
Whoops. Almost forgot to post the updated version:
