[LongcatX]

mmk, so i was looking at the custom ships gallery and saw a tiny ship , then i thought - what if i made really small detailed sprites for fighters! so now im asking for help , please tell me ill post them when their done.

So many people have, and fighters don't really work... so idk.
I personally think it would be better to do some sprites for bigger ships than fighters.

Okay, ignore Silverware, because he's an idiot.

Moving on. How do you make sections? You fucking draw them. Shit, how fucking hard is that? Just open your custom sprites folder and look at the sprites in there and you'll get a fucking idea. You use an image editing tool like MSPaint for Photoshop or whatever, you fucking draw shit, you put it in a folder in the "Custom sprites" folder as a .png or .gif file and then you put it in the fucking game.

Really incredible and revolutionary shit, I know. I can see why you'd have trouble with it.

ok 1: i thought there was more advanced things to do
2: i wanted an expert to tell me
3: don't be so harsh about it

1) There are obviously more advanced techniques, but they mostly boil down to "pixel art". If you don't have any pixel art skills, look it up. Look at existing sections to figure out how it's done.
2) You clearly need to learn the basics before pestering an "expert" with your inane questions.
3) Don't be so stupid about it.

You're welcome. If you want more specific advice, ask a more specific question. Ask it clearly and concisely and preferably using something resembling decent grammar.
