Fanboy ship time!!!! pg2
Behold, Scorpion.
Scarab
The first one i made using only Kae mech sections. At the end I experimented with one of Arc's thruster sprites and it turned out really well I think.
Mantis
I just deleted a bunch of sections on Scarab and moved a few of the pieces in the back to the front. Looks nice though.
Wasp
If you can't figure out how i made this, then something is wrong with you...
...and now for the crappy small ships!
Drone
(as in the drone of a beehive social class)
Edit* updated Drone
Gnat
As you can see, i have no talent for smaller ships.
Edit* updated Gnat.
Aaaaaand a fleet shot with hestia for size comparison
Comments and Criticism much needed.

Ooo, the top three i definately like. The last two..not quite as much but maybe scale down the thruster and put it in like the bigger ships. You're also much better at shading than i am. Nice work.

@Bentusi: Yea I was actually just trying to see if Arc's thruster sprite would be in that ugly black box or not, and to tell you the truth thats actually the default position the "eye" is in, it is fake aegised and is messed around however.
@Rugdumph: Er...What thrusters? None of these ships have thrusters...Since they are obviously alien they use a strange gravity technology that actually PULLS them toward the desired position.
@LactoseTolerant: I suppose it is, but since those images have no scaling correlation you probably wouldn't realize that the Scarab is quite large; about the size of the Nagaya3ship. However I kinda like the thinner arms...it really helps pull off the insect like nature of these ships.
Working on a bigger ship in the same kind of design...however not enough of it is done yet to even give a preview. I will also change Drone and Gnat when I have time.
Edit* The bigger ship, Scorpion, is now up. Enjoy.

I meant the red glow bit made out of one of arca's thruster glow sprites, sos for the mix up

Perhaps an action shot would help, but Scorpion looks a bit dull. The sections are all fairly well placed, but you have a large molten glow in the middle and then three slightly different shades of the same color on the rest.
I guess I just want to see function from the whole of the structure. As is, it seems like a lump (albeit a very pretty one) with a big red eye.

Kaelis' DSTech sprites have alot of smaller sections, which can be helpful. Try making ships with more than just Mecha sprites, as most of them are quite large.Doogie12 wrote:May I have any criticism on the fighters? I really do need help when it comes to smaller craft.
