Probably bad ships.

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.

If you want to get different shades of the same colour, one way is to get the RGB values of the colour you want and multiply/divide all 3 values by the same number, then plug the new RGB values into SM to get a lighter/darker shade.

A bit too dark for a space background, but decent. There are some problems, but it does have somewhat of a feeling of depth.

That's actually quite good. I disagree that it is too dark. Now, it has a nice and clean profile that I'm rather fond of.

Go to settings and turn off gradients. That should fix it.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the issue is.

However, you said the BSF folder is on your desktop. I know that BSF doesn't work properly on some operating systems unless placed in a particular directory, so that might be the issue. I don't know where you need to place it, though, and I forgot where I found that info. I believe TH mentioned it somewhere... Except I don't know where.

I tried D:, C: and E: and they all don't work.
Running it as a admin doesn't work either.





This is great

Wow. That is quite a beauty.
Weapons go where they look as unobtrusive as possible.

The weapon in the middle-left is a turret, just so that you know.

The wings near the back have a lot of jumbled sections. There isn't much of a cohesion among them.
