A new class of ships C&C welcome.

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!

Im my opinion, the colours can use some work on your latest ship. The light blue kind of clashes with the rest of the ships colours, especially the yellow. Also the design of the ship is kind of boxy, and doesn't really follow with the rest of your ship designs. However the ship is pretty well built, I don't see any mirroring errors and isn't spammed with weapons.

Overall, the ship is okay, but I recommend changing up the colours a bit, maybe replace some of the yellow with grey/white.

Im afraid i must disagree. It doesn't look like a ship at all. Its a yellow brick with rounded sides and a gap in one of them. I suggest you try bringing out some interesting, descriptive shapes - your previous ships were much better in that respect.

Ok, I'll fix it tomorrow night most likely, make her much more shapely and less brick like. Also a question, even though all of the parenting if fine sometimes when it takes a hit and a section goes down, all of the weapons just slide off and drift away and die. Its happened twice now, so was wondering if its a bug or something.

I don't get why you have to squish up the guns, it looks a bit weird to me but you don't have to change it.

An improvement of overall shape, but I must also voice the same remark about the colors.


If you must use cerulean, yellow and white, then how about experimenting with some (darker) shades?


I think you're trying to get the golden glare effect, which your ship is doing far too well in. I cannot look at it too long without my eyes tiring.

I'll recolour it tomorrow. But that same bug is plaging me it takes one hit and all of the weapons just fall off and drift through space, just like if there parents were killed........but nothing has been blown off yet.

Recoloured it. I hope that this version is improved.

The upgraded version of the St. Nebia, The St. Nubian, heavier armor plating upgraded weapons but with half the speed and at twice the cost this ship is only used when its absolutely necassary because of the high cost.
