Wyrdysm Games

I am a pretty new to the game, so please tell me suggestions for the ships so i can improve, thanks.

So the ships are some of my first, the real first ones are really bad so i will post these two instead.
Also the snapshots from SM seems to not work, so its all from sandbox.

The first is Allcoter, a frigate



It is a thin frigate, its main weapons are the Beamers and the Railguns.
It has no Point Defense but it has one Deflector Module.

Next, Turhon (why the hell i named it that )



It mainly relies its hull armor, so this ship don't have really much hp.
It has Point Defense capability and it can turn 360 degrees so it is not very vulnerable from the back.


So please let me know if my ships are too weak or too overpowered. Thanks!

Take your screenshots in the shipmaker. Press "Home" to go to default zoom (this lets us judge the size). Press F11 to go into preview mode, this eliminates any parenting arrows. Press F9 to take a screenshot and drag a box around the ship. It will create an image file in the SMScreenshots folder that you can upload here.

Good:
These designs look promising in the shape department.

Improvable:
The color of the Turhon looks odd. Try to switch the colors (red <-> brown). This will start the creation of color depth.
There seems to be a little more weapons than normal for stock ships on the Allocter. Remove two of the beamers. (The outer ones)

The screenshots made in SM seems to not work, it gives me a plain black screen.

Also the Turhon is not brown, it is dark gray because of its glow.

Ok first the Turhon


Added Bubbleshields to replace weak hull

Second, Allcoter (i removed the extra 2 beamers)



Third, my new ship, Chlrome


In the original build its hulls are its main defense, along with some Deflectors but in Bubleshield the deflector were replaced.

Suggestions Please !

Very simplistic stock-styled ships. Nothing really wrong, but not a whole lot to look at either.
Have you considered switching to shiny sprites?

Like the ships designs,but the chrolome would look better in a picture with side facing flaks in my mind

Searhing for shiny sprites that would fit my style, maybe the shipwright pack
Dunno how to load them to the game either

Kae_shn and the Shipwright ones are packs in their own right (Shipwright are not shiny, they are flat and grey - I wouldn't advise them).
The more popular sprites such as Kae_shn, DST, Prosectionax, DCC-glows ect. tend to be the best.

Thanks, but how do you load them!!!????

Well either you drag the pic to the Sprite group (i forgot mind tellin me what it is ) which is shown by pressing the z key or if you the endurance type, just choose load (or import?) custom sprites then choose what you want.

This really proves no one gives a fuck about the manual.

I don't even know if there's a manual

Press F1 and you will see.

All this time....... Dayum!!!!!!

Anyways, if you're going to use shiny sprites, don't use overly saturated colours. You can get away with that for stock ships, but not for shiny ships.
And please don't put hyperdark sections.

Saturated means too much colors or really bright colors
