so. im new on the fourms, but not BSF. and really, im here to expand my shipbuilding skills and enjoy the community. now my shipmaker is a little old, so i don't have sprites or anything. ok on to the ships
Armed With Wings fleet/faction
a light battleship (up)
a medium battleship(up)
corvett(up)
i will be finishing the fleet in this style, so later i will try sprites and stuff , mmk.
the purpose of the corvett is for spaming firepower, or being a distraction.
light battleships purpose is for frontward combat
medium battleships purpose is for broadside combat, also the light battleship is meant to defend the medium battleships.
remember to criticize

Re: my new fleet/first post.
The shape are not as bad as I think. At least you can build the shape aestheically. And then the worst thing that you must improve is the colouring. I guess the following viewers will CRIT you very hard. But if you get colouring and shading good, need not very well, your design can cheat their eyes. I give you some example. the difference of two below:
Same shape. Different colour. Although they are super rough design, but seems lower one is more realistic.(Nomatter what maybe you like the funny rainbow colour of the upper one.)
Then, lurk more.

Welcome to the forums.
Rainbow coloured ships do not work well. The medium battleship has two hugh holes that probably should be filled in. Also use F11 when taking screenshots. It removes the parenting lines.

Re: my new fleet/first post.
You basically need to get some brand spanking new sprites, play around with them for a while, and look at some other ships done by other people to figure what you want your ships to really look like. Because at the moment what you have shown is a random collection of colourful sprites that have been put together to vaguely resemble the shape of a ship. Not really good at all

Re: my new fleet/first post.
like i said my ship editor is kind of old. could you explain how to get sprites, and use them. do they replace the standard ship parts?Imaillusion wrote:You basically need to get some brand spanking new sprites, play around with them for a while, and look at some other ships done by other people to figure what you want your ships to really look like.

Check the front page of Wyrdysm, download BSF v.90d, go to the Custom Sprites forum download some SWA sprites and weapons, and we'll tell what to do from there.
