No idea how should an 'Imperial Guard-ish' section look like.

It was more of a joke, but what I wanted was something more WW1/Steampunk-ish.

If you have some time, I think a pack with solar panels and other "old earth" type of sprites would be awesome. perhaps some little satellite looking sprites and other things that look like they might belong on the ISS.

Also, great work on the mini sections. they are very useful

This talk about WH40k gave me an idea.

NECRON GLYPH PACK

Put them into Kae_necron directory.

Define how should WW1/Steampunk look like in BSF, then.

Id need some inspirational images for that. Most of my sections that have some certain (non-generic) style are inspired by something i saw.

steampunk in bsf would probably be with hard angles and things like tubes, pipe, rivets and smokestacks.

Pipes, rivets, smokestacks - okay, but hard angles? Every non-curvy sections has hard angles...

Sure, post entire images here instead of links, very smart

To be honest, theyre not too good. I just don't see any sections in there.

basically I'm just looking for some solar panels, trusses (stock 16 just doesn't cut it), and maybe some ISS modules to play with. not sure what else to give you.

In that case you could just make them yourself, you know... you don't need to arts major to plop a few pixels in paint.

I assure you that I've tried. I just really suck at it. maybe I'll give it another shot.

Good god Kaelis - you're a man after my own heart! Nice Necron pack there.

If I was going to make any suggestions it would be for more polygon shapes - hexagons, pentagons, septagons etc, elongated, irregular, regular, detailed and not. Would allow for some new interesting ship shapes, much like the bunch of alien sections you did. I'm only suggesting this because I lack the ability.

For now...

I second the WWI/Steampunk pack ;3 God, that'd rock so hard o_O

True enough, I just meant that aside from tube sections there probably wouldn't be any curves.
