Delta shipyards
a handful of slightly crappy designs made by me i am now using entirely custom sprites to make my ships, and some polite critique would be nice.

Re: Delta shipyards
your first one has some certain charms to it but other than that it looks really really plain to me
Your second i one i like better because of the style and color scheme but try not to use too much thin sections because it doesn't have much details to it.

Re: Delta shipyards
The first one isn't that great, but I've yet to see anyone make those sections work. The second one is actually quite impressive, I don't see many serious flaws, but it could use some touching up here and there. Personally, I've never quite embraced the space triangle, I might try it sometime,

Re: Delta shipyards
actually, though the sprite packs i used for them are different, they actually seem to be based off of the same parts. they share a few things in common, though many of the parts are different. still, i have a relatively limited library of parts at the moment. im trying to make do with all i have.Majicnanas wrote:The first one isn't that great, but I've yet to see anyone make those sections work.

Re: Delta shipyards
@Magic, look up Cycerin's stuff. He did a lot of cool stuff with them.
@Delta, they're a variant of DST sprites. Try to avoid using them exclusively.

Re: Delta shipyards
Cycerin made the awesome BRDY faction, you can still see the Scarab, Nevermore and the Sachumodo which is what's left since meta1 was purged

Re: Delta shipyards: Xxi syndacate
i am currently working on making the beginnings of a new faction. as i'm only a mediocre ship builder, i doubt i'll even try for WFTU, but if i get some positive responses, i'll at least keep building ships.
no downloads as this fleet is a WIP. once iv'e got a decent fleet built up, i'll release it as an unofficial faction.

- was meant to be a light cruiser, unfortunately i built it too small, so it became a heavily armored destroyer.

Re: Delta shipyards
That's pretty much half a fleet, from fighters/drones to destroyers. I suppose you're working on larger ships atm?
Quite frankly I wonder why I ever began making ships for this. You see, my work never becomes quite as good as I feel it deserves to.

Re: Delta shipyards
He does have some micro-sized fighters, so that would throw things out of balance.
Although he could just use the fighterbays....

Re: Delta shipyards
Since I'm too lazy to start Shipmaker, I want to know: does the fighterbay allow for custom sprites to be used? (I suppose not.)

Re: Delta shipyards
It does, that's half the entire point. You can youse whatever fightery sprite for fighters.
Just don't try changing the actual module's sprite, that's never worked.

Re: Delta shipyards
I believe custom module sprites are on the list of "Stuff to add to BSF in the next version"
However, my mind somehow does a barrel roll every single time I think of it. It does the same for the bubbleshield's codework, possibly meaning that the former may result in similar coding nightmares

Re: Delta shipyards
working on a cruiser, a fighter carrier, a flagship, a mine layer a battleship, a battlecruiser, a long range missile cruiser, a flack boat, possibly a couple of mini fighters sized space mechas. i have some plans for unique tech on my larger/ specialized ships, everything from working stealth arrays to bubble shields. oh, and (offensive) flack, flack, and more flack. if i make WFTU (doubtful), that'l be my defining trait. right now my weapons look like i just stole SAR ship's blasters, Rati fleet sections, light missiles and pulse guns and made a couple of minor things up, which is basically what i did. if i make WFTU, i'll change the weapons a bit.-Desert- wrote:That's pretty much half a fleet, from fighters/drones to destroyers.

Re: Delta shipyards
hey guys, sorry for not being too active anymore, but i finally got enough inspiration to build a battleship for my fleet. i kinda like how it came out, though its far from perfect. it seems a bit overpowered when pitted against smaller ships, but it loses 1 on 1 to several battleships and dreadnaughts from war for the universe fleets. it spews non homing orbs that do only minor damage, fires powerful electromagnetic torpedoes and has a twin mounted missile turret that may have been inspired by the weapons on the alien ships from the movie battleship.
