But yeah, you really are right. I tried to do simpler, yet still good-looking, designs for the second batch of ships I created, specifically for the sickle-moon ships. Even still, I find that the quality of the designs will start lacking. However, I have no solution to fix this.

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
The goal here is "interesting to fight", not "aesthetically pleasing". You can still accomplish both goals but the former is more important if you ask me.
Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
I‘d honestly settle for having pretty ships. section layout and structure is pretty subtle. i doubt that most players will even notice weakspots in a section layout. this is doubly true because the parenting system in this game is built on actual collision. if two sections touch by even a pixel then they are considered connected and will prevent one from dropping off

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
^Perhaps you could revert it to the old system of parenting? That could relieve this overlapped section OP issue.

Why revert it? This is a lot better.

Because then we can layer details on top of another section in a way that it is destroyed with its parent without having to worry about it touching another section.

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
That doesn't strike me as a good reason to remove such a cool feature. That sounds like a really dumb reason, honestly.

Yea, you're probably right (as usual). I didn't exactly think that reply through TBH.

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
It is a dumb reason, but I won't deny I agree...
That is, when it comes to the overlapping sections making an OP ship.

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: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
So either reduce the ship's HP to compensate or build with the feature in mind, if you're that concerned about it.

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
If I make ships, could someone else arm them for me. I don't like arming, I could never arm them. (I would always mess up my ships, idk how though cx)
I'm currently building a folder that will be full with 13 "chassissss" of assorted styles and colors.

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
There's not much point in making ships right now with th15 trying to sort out a new style of sections for the game...

Re: Prototype Enemy Ship Designs
Behold Prototype Odin. My only ship that has no custom parts whatsoever. Also has Fake Aegis(So don't be scared of destroying it in the front). Could be used for a Boss Fight or a guardian in an allied sector.
