This is true, I suppose, but that's what we get for asking for people's submissions.

Heres mine, an armour block inspired by nBSGs armour.

I made a square... so I made a circle:

these are all great! but no offense, only a few would actually fit in with BF. Most of them are wayyy too complex. I'll get mine up later.

And... complexity is a bad thing? I think most of these would actually fit in fairly well with the current pieces, and would help people design more unique and varied custom ships.

they're all too specific. those engines and turbo cores or whatever are awesome sprites, but they're so detailed, theres no way you could use them with the built in pieces.

I think the first one is a bit too plain, I'll continue work there.

I would use my drill

So I had a weird idea...:

Core armor. This section fits around a standard core perfectly, giving it extra cover. Perfect for bigger ships... And maybe even really small ones!

thats an awesome idea!

Nifty.

Also nice sheet there, Boba, but a lot of them are too big - the limit is 80x80. (Well, 79x79 or 78x78 since you want evenly-widthed sections.)

oh. I didn't know that =( I'll try resizing the bigger ones.

I also like the idea of maybe differing styles and levels of complexity as well. It'll make ship design just that bit more spicy

It kind of said that right there on the first post in the guidelines!

The limit is technically 79x79 since you need a 1pixel border of black, plus the bottom-left pixel must be black.

I see several objects that show promise. I'll redesign them minimally to get them in the approved format.

EDITED again, permission given by Boba.

I would like to congratulate Boba on his effort, however. I hope these can be considered 'his' and not mine, since with the exception of the C section they're essentially unmodified. I did remove the holes in that section, however, because they looked structurally weak (yeah I have an engineer's aesthetic with these things).

P.S. he says he liked my version of the C better.

It's generally polite if you ask before modifying someone's work, you know.

Some of them could still work - they'd just need to be split into two/three pieces, then put together manually in the editor.
