my ships :-)

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.

Pros
The ship designs are improving

Cons
There is still a visible center line between sections.(split ship syndrome)

actually from the circle to the right is a part and everything else ( front part ) is another part so you should make the front and the circle in one shape :idea:

Actually it was Kaelis's Shiny Sprites, not Zalausai. You probably just downloaded Shining from Zalausai, that includes shiny sprites and ini files.

The colors are too saturated, also don't forget to press home when taking screenshots

It's probably the file called Zalausai's sprites, which is a collection of the shiny sprites, dst, and a few other good ones.
I named it this, because it's my personal ini file that I use.

Although it's pretty nice general shape wise, this ship has a lot of minors. I don't think I can list all of the small flaws, so here are large ones.

1. Oversaturated colors and dark grey make it seem like it's made of clay.
2. It lacks fine detail and small sectionwork. Doodad it up.
3. Too many large, flat, square sections.
4. Center line is visible
5. It has a boring color scheme. Add midtones.
