Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas
This is the next tutorial ship. It will be used in the next tutorial which will be an in-depth explanation of nearly every shipmaker command in layman's terms for easy understanding by newbies.
I can't cover every single button command, but the most common ones that I know will be covered. (It's be used specifically when explaining right clicking a section or doodad) I may redo "War" before it is completed. Since it is already over five pages on wordpad and about a dozen pictures. The largest tutorial that I have worked on so far in my opinion.
However, I want this particular tutorial ship to look nice when compared to the others. It'll be stock green to keep it as generic as possible while creating a more advanced appearance through sectionwork when compared to the game's normal ship selection.
Feedback is requested for this ship. You guys may also suggest a title for the guide when it is done.
Why am I redoing a large portion of what can be found in the "help" file? Because I think people are more likely to read something when it is associated with pictures.

I remade the "War" ship. I liked the other one better. However, this one has a more "bloated with weapons" feel.

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas
Tried to build a ship similar to "Infected" using my custom sprites. It's fair at best.
The blue are the necron sprites in black with a dark blue fake aegis.

The new version of the HG 4 Power. It is lacking doodads and weapons still.
I think it looks better.

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas
Please don't ever do the necron thing. Those sprites are meant as doodads or fake aegised.

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas
I dislike that ship. It was simply an experiment. According to reviews, a failed experiment.

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas
Working on "Death".
Still in progress, but ending work on it for the evening. Still needs the larger wings finished, doodads, color, thrusters, and weapons.
I am pleased with the core area and the progression to the front of the ship along the center. I also like the little front wing spiky thing that's going on there.
Open to critiques and comments for improvement and suggestions on how to progress with construction.

*Sighs, face down into desk. Mutters to himself*
If I get another review saying that there is something suggestive. I will have no choice but to attempt an "Alchemy" ship using a stripper silhouette.
Zalausai Edit: Actually, on a cleaner point of view, it resembles a pull-string puppet currently. Which is very easy to see in the design.

Nice, a little messy in some spots, but nice. You've gotten much better.

Re: Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas
It's probably messy due to the fact that I didn't want to scrap it despite to the earlier observations and tried to break up the previous shape as much as possible.
