Oooh, I like that one. But it seems that the core should be in the middle part. How is that parented, anyway?

Since apparently you don't know how to change section colors:
Each color scheme has three colors. You can change which one of these colors a section will use by pressing C in shipmaker or right clicking on relevant section and picking 'change color' option.

When you create a ship, it will take on last saved BSF color schemes, and that scheme will be saved with the sb2/sb3 file. However, what colors you see in shipmaker is irrelevant, since when you load your ship in BSF it will take on current color schemes of a faction you spawn it under.

Example: your last saved settings were: red, dark red, light red. You create a ship, and when changing colors for sections, it will switch through red, dark red, light red. You save the ship, and load in BSF. However, youve now change your color settings to blue, light blue, dark blue. You spawn the ship, and its blue, light blue, dark blue.

Additionaly, in SB3 you can set a custom color for every single section.
you're getting better with every next ship. Keep going :wink:

Also: disable glow and see how your ships look without it.

You need to fix that parenting. Please. The nose section are parented to the oposite side . . .

Also, the turrets float when the section they are on disappears it looks like.

But the colored one is great! I love the large empty gap it has.
