LG's Various stuff, new ships in the tread

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

first of all, sorry for the lack of comments, it could get annoying.
Alright... the brinog: i like the front, the doubled wings (i think) look nice, and the front is at least unique looking. STRONGLY dislike the back... just... ugly... and looks far too different from the front to look good (for me at least)

as for the WIP... i just flat out don't like it. could be a personal view... but the area surrounding the core just doesn't work, and the wings just look awkward (too far from the body of the ship, too tiny of a support structure, and the bent look, though interesting, isn't working here). not sure what to call the little green lines near the front, but don't like those either (they just don't seem similar to anywhere else on the ship). and the engine area... needs work....

for the Brinog, I recomend shortening the tail (a LOT), while for the wip, reduce the repetition down the middle, remake the tail/engine, extend the area that the wing connects to the body of the ship forward so that it is thicker... and so on and so forth...

frankly, I wish you would go back to the smaller ships. I personally really liked those, and these bigger ones just don't seem to be working for you. And whenever you make a bigger one, it just seems like you're putting together multiple small ships anyway soooo.... yeah.

I apologise in advance for any and all grammar errors (will try to edit out the worst ones, but FAR too lazy to capitalize my I's) and would like to note that (as usual) i could be wrong.

edit: just to spite myself, I edited my I's

Thanks, that helps!
I tryed some new stuff I've seen in the forum out on those twoI also disliked some of what you pointed out. So this would be what the WIP, now with a fancy new name looks like after"shrinking" and editing it. I took that reaktor out and made the sidepods far thinner and whatnot else.
*edit: I fell in love with those engines,I've firstly seen them at Anna's ships

I'll rework the Brinog now. The problem is if I cut off the back sections it looks to short IMO :(

The Maliw looks allot better than its larger counterpart.

However the one thing that bothers me about it it how large the middle engine is and how far it sticks out compared to the other two on the sides. The sections connecting the main hull and the mid engine I believe you could of done better as well. My suggestion it to decrease the size of the engine or use different sections connecting the engine to the main hull.

Other than that it looks pretty good.

huh don't know about that engine I might shrink it but I felt like I finally had something that fits there. However I've modified the Brinog a bit more, hope this makes the back more appealing.

any better?

If those are meant to be ablatives on the nose, you're doing it wrong. :?

How should I say this. they are ablatives in a way but I also wasn't really fond of the nose with them in line so I looked how tat would look.

I'll see what I can do about that dunno what thought

Turn the back into a new ship while you're at it.

*sigh* this is what the cut off ship and the back on itrs own look like. the front is now the "tanker" and close range ship while the back ist the support and bombardement ship that eats the enemies up

So is this better now anything else to improve? (mesides my incapability to make bigger ships :P )
I'm tired now, it's late.

right angles on the back of the Brinog are nasty.

Add two more engines to the brinog (where the straight lines are), and it should fix up the 90-degree angle problem.
