Not bad, the orange of the fuel tanks doesn't seem right, probably because modern fuel tanks use grey with red stickers or red. And the Dark Cyan panels are strange too.

But the rest of the ships are well made. The sections flow, and the colors even work together.
Good job.

I'm request you quit zooming in when you take screenshots. It distorts the ship and I can't tell whether they're great or crap. Default zoom plz.

vVhorpax is back, joy and exuberance \o/

And with splendid ships nonetheless. Maybe they could even serve well as HW2 ship textures, with some manipulation. Although i have to agree with the comments regarding stretching/shrinking; its just too visible.

I can see why you would want to do zoomed-in screenshots for these, but if its not too much effort, please include default-zoom screenshots of every ship as well.

Kay kay, here you get it, to explain why I tend to zoom in, have you ever build a ship on a monitor that has a 1920x1080 resolution? The window tends to get a bit small. So please give a little hint sometimes, but stop the witchhunt and we all will have a wonderful time.

Don't worry no ones after you, I'm pretty sure we all build while zoomed in, but it just makes your ships look better. And they really do look great! What rgb are you using to get that brown? I love all the little details you've put into this. Also the asymmetry of course, but more than that they just look more realistic rather than tightly packed tanks like I tend to build. This is like a happy medium between Horsemonster's realism and more massive ships. Can't wait for more!

QFT. Build in whatever zoom you want, just remember to hit Home to default zoom before taking screenshots.

I'm on 1680x1050, so I kinda know what you're on about. I zoom all over the place, especially if I'm trying to fine-tune the positioning of sections.

I use both 1920x1080 and 1280x1024, just don't use full screen mode =P
Zooming works for construction, and home works for checking the thing out.
I'm usually zoomed in close enough to see about 6 sections across my workspace.

Fuel tanks are absolutely lovely. Nice use of "glows" paired with sensible asymmetry. Still some distortion with stretching though.

Ah I remember you, your old asymm ships were fabulous and then you disappeared without leaving a download link! Well welcome back to the community, and you've returned with some fantastic ships, particularly those brown ones. Just one thing, IMO, the larger engines on the light carrier should be replaced by more of the smaller engines like on the tanker, but otherwise, excellent work.

Wow! Very nice work, you're our best weapon in the fight against boring symmetry! I particularly like the large cannons.
