This okay?

yes, it is. I am just so poor at art.

Ah, it's okay. Your piece made a nice framework for my improvement (and gave me a lot of enjoyment in the process)

Here's my first piece... it's supposed to be... like... a vent, or something. But I suppose it could really be whatever you want it to... heh.

Could be better, I suppose... eh, I'll try something else now.

RRoan wrote:A reactor. I went a little overboard with the details.

Yeah, just a little.

I suggest making it larger - 80x80 is plenty of space to work with when you're going pixel by pixel, although you only really have 79x79.

Danny420Dale wrote:Engines, you say?

I like the second one, but I think I'd find myself burying that bizarre trail on the first one under the rest of the ship's modules. The "emitter" is pretty nice though.

What do you think?

A nice and simple structural support. I quite like it.

That first engine is a gravitic engine inspired more or less directly by Minbari drive systems. Note the similarity between its drive blade and the one on a Sharlin, for example.

Me likey! Looks like it'll make a good wingtip.

Well, I thought the reactor was looking a bit cluttered, so I went back and made a few minor changes. I think it makes it look much better now.
New:

Old:

Well I know I'm good, but this was a bit of a challenge because I'm not used to working in such a small area.

Eh, it's already pretty big compared to the stock pieces. As it is, it would make a great reactor for some implausibly large battleship. ^_^

Behold! My reactor core thingy!

It's not as detailed and funky looking as RRoan's, but I never expected to be able to make something that good anyway... still, I thought I'd give it a try.

*adjusts halo*

What? It's not -my- fault I happen to make implausibly large battleships. I swear.

Implausible? Have you seen what my shipyard's been building lately?

This section is meant to be small (about the size of the mini-wings that mount the Oneone's beamers). It could fuction as a nose cone or prhaps a weapon mount. I don't think it's anything like as good as my first section...

Time to submit some parts...

Drills are a man's weapon.

If you want a non animated one, here:

Moving on, here is a internal structure part:

And a reactive armor slot:

Finally, this was supposed to be a hanger part, but it ended up being a wing thingy? I am not sure anymore:

I am trying to get a doom face drawn, but I can't get the face looking fearsome. Maybe someone of better skill can do it.

Post by **Arcalane** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 12:41 pm

Nice armour slab.

If this could be animated, it would be; with animations barely visible to the naked eye.

Reactor "tube".

MORE!

Internal fuel tank array/rack.

EVEN MORE?!

Cargo container core. Lift/turret hardpoint center.

Edit: Whups, futzed something on the cargo core, fixed it.

Good enough for a cleanup job.

Reactive Armor is the win. I say center it and let th15 put both versions of it in the game.

Is this a good enough skull?

Have you considered the possibility that you're designing too complex of pieces? They don't seem to match the BSF style to me.

Post by **Arcalane** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 3:10 pm

Does the level of detail really matter that much, though? I mean, extra detail in BSF isn't like adding extra polygons and textures. It's just a block of pixels.

Cerebrus · Post by **Cerebrus** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 3:11 pm

I know that. I wasn't worrying about lag or anything. I just meant that they don't really look like the other BSF pieces, in general design terms.
