Is this ship worthy?!?!

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

Is this ship worthy?!?!

Post by GKittenBarf »

I want everbody who looks at this ship to tell what they think and if it needs some more colour and where can I inprove on my designs. Thanks to everybody who posts!
Polarian is Pural for Polasia. All of the Ships are genaric colour, no war paint has been added. This is "factory" default. This is as small as I can get em! I was also making the ships on a piece limit so, think about that.. :)

to answer your question no, not by a long shot =/

the problem is they don't look built, just slapped together randomly as if you dropped your hypothetically physical sprites folder all over the florr and just couldn't be bothered to pick it all up...

so instead of complaining about the ships i'll give you some tips on how to build much nicer constructs ^^

1. download and use some better sections, SW sprites are out of date in the uncool kind of way. try and get the more "realistic style sprite packs, namely Kaelis's Shiny Sections (here and here), Horsemonsters realistic sections (here, here and here ) and the DST sprites (found here)
2. look around the forums, look at what ships are considered "good" and try and work out what makes them good
3. go into shipmaker, try to make similarly "good" usage of sections and effects that are up to standard with those "good" ships
4. come back and post the ships you are completely happy with

for example, i really liked the way STARSTRUCK has used new innovative ways of creating cool effects using triggers, so i tried to push the boat out a little myself (you can see the result in the custom ships thread) however i was not completely happy with how my ship functions in game, so i didn't post it. instead i am going to go back and look at what i can do to improve it. this way i can post something as good as i can produce on the forums and get some worthwhile feedback

now i've taken about 10 minutes typing and researching this all for you, please take it into serious consideration and use it wisely. good luck!

They look a tad flimsy and messy, but proably tactically useful.
Not bad, Gabe. Not bad. *thumbsup*

And, quite ingenious uses of the first 26 stock sections on the first and second.
But the smallest is junk. Sorry. :)

Thank you for the Hyperlinks to the better sprite area's, and for your critisism. Now then thsess are the first couple of SWA style ships that I have made, but I did not slap them all togather. For the top two II spent about 25 minutes trying to find a decent scheme for it, without ruining the Pincer design, and the other one took me about 30 minute, just for the center and getting everything to scale. As for the PSHIN-NN Class Fighter, I look at it for 30 Seconds, Ill probly Change it cause I don't really like it.

And thank you very much jak.
