Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
Figured i'd just post a new ship because no one seem to post some big ships
Synergy Phase Battleship
The entrance of the synergy made the lockjaw an obsolete design, it can relocate itself instantly to it's desired location and unleash a very powerful beam that can penetrate the hull in almost instant but the beam cannon requires another long charge before firing again, but it has it's own array of kinetic weaponry to defend itself while waiting for the beam to charge. The beam was derived from a super weapon that can destroy an entire planet in a matter of minutes with no survivors but the synergy's beam cannon is like the small version of it

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
Ah, such coincidence, earlier I saw this thread to get inspiration on making big ships, and the thread has been a bit inactive lately..

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
The ship looks good.
There are some holes where the front wings connect to the main body. This may or may not be intentional.

It looks good, looks like a super heavy battleship/destroyer/juggernaught.

Super short answer:
-The depthing looks odd.
-The red stands out.
-The sectionwork is good.
-Glows look good but blend in a bit.

The red does look a little odd. Usually colour accents do well, but this one somehow doesn't.
Just wondering: About how much would one credit be worth? Enough to buy, say dinner in a decent restaurant?

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
/\ In a multi-stellar community I would expect that with such a wide range of commoditys, exchange rates would fluctuate a lot.
As for the ship, I agree that the reds are a little out of place. Changing their colour to something more neutral may help. The rest is cool.

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
IMO maybe you should replace the red with the same blue, but replace the old blue with a darker blue.

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
Yellow. Make them yellow. That way, it matches the color of the internal pieces more and keeps to the dual color scheme you have. Making a triple color scheme requires a fair amount of fiddling with balances and glow colors. Tis gets tedious, but the results are spectacular.

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
I've got to say, CryoSleep, you have improved. Your ripoffs are less blatant these days. Less blatant, so really you could say it's more "imitation" rather than "ripping off", but still. Let's compare these posts.
It sort of... reminds me... of something. Hm... I... wonder what I could be thinking of...?
Oh. This:
And the worst part is, while imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and what-not, yours really needs some work. You seem to understand the basics of what makes the things you're copying look good, but not the subtler things, and while you may be soaking up praise from people who don't know any better or are ignorant of the fact that you're incapable of coming out with original designs (and unwilling to give credit where it's due to the people who 'inspire' you), I do.
Let's look at these two ships. There's lots of similar details. The over-all outer shape is the same, though you changed the shape at the front. Engine placement is more or less the same, with the exception of some extras you slapped onto the side-pods. You even have decided to take sections and use them in the same way as STARSTRUCK, only you decided to use EVEN MORE OF THEM, and cover the outer pods, both front and back. You even imitated the colour scheme, only made it darker and somewhat more saturated.
But you failed in the details. STARSTRUCK's ship is masterful, with multiple shades of the same colours to indicate depth, varied doodads for flashing lights and windows and other details, teamstripes, etc. Yours has fewer shades than I have fingers on my hand, and no real doodading or detailing to speak of except for a bunch of glowy balls, all the same size, something you probably saw Netharis and perhaps Doogie using on their ships and also decided to poorly imitate. On Netharis' ships in particular, the glows come in varying sizes, with bright white centers and larger, additive-blended, low-alpha colours glows beneath that actually light up sections around them in an appealing way. Yours are just some glowy coloured dots of uniform size and shape spread evenly over the ship, in lieu of actual detailing. It's like you saw the most obvious things that other people do to make pretty ships, and copied them, but missed out on the subtle, yet important details. It's really sad.
Even the flavour text that you attempted to mimic was done poorly. You seemed to miss the whole point of STARSTRUCK's original version, which was a jokey, humorous and well-presented craigslist-style advertisement, and just half-heartedly wrote up some uninteresting details with goofy names for ship systems.
All in all, I am disappointed in you, and you should be disappointed in yourself. It is one thing to take inspiration from other peoples work. It's one thing to try and build upon an idea or try your own hand at it. But at least try to do it right, and if you're going to make it obvious enough that anyone with eyes can spot it, give credit to the person who you're imitating, for fuck's sake.
This is not the first time you've been caught doing this. Make it the last.
EDIT: p.s. even though you're set to invisible, I can see you're lurking. Being an Admin has perks. Anything to say for yourself?
The way you presented the ship is interesting. You have never presented a ship like that before, with the picture and some flavour-text centered in such a way that it seems like an advertisement for selling a ship. You even comment on how you can't be bothered coming up with techno-babble.CryoSleep wrote:

Re: CryoWare Heavy Yards
The first one has idiotic reasons and i apologize for that (even if it was a long ago since i was being a dick.... a real dick).
I just tried practicing since that is the way i learn sometimes although I DO know you'd still lecture me about imitating it but I'm someone who isn't afraid of consequences of my actions if it is neccessary for me to learn (I grew balls while you were absent) but i promise not to imitate ships without permission again (It's something i forget).
Also about the color, i didn't try to imitate it's color but i used this one instead I did left that habit a long time ago because it's kind of ridiculous but i thought i just try it one more time so that i could atleast learn some things about that ship. I did learn a thing or two about it
Actually about hiding, it became my habit of doing so and I do know that you can see me even when hiding, It's common sense since you're an admin.
