New here

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!

New here

Post by MetalDragon »

Hi, I'm new here on the forums. I finally decided to register an account to show my ships. I think some are overgunned though, for some reason. Anyway, here are the ships.

Sword-Class Frigate

Scythe-Class Bomber

Katana-Class Cruiser

By the way, the green stuff in some ships is the core (which I can't find out how to give it an permanent color because everytime I paint it grey it changes back to stock green.). These aren't my first by the way, my first one was very, VERY crappy.

Change the core's color by right-clicking on it and going to "Change Colour." then proceed from there. And yes, I do believe some of those ships are a bit over-gunned.

Weird... it didn't worked for me before, but now it worked. :shock:
Which ones you think that are over-gunned?

Lawd, another newguy who actually lurked/bothered to make ships that make sense before posting them?

Maybe the apocalypse really is nigh...

In other words, your ships are fine.

It's a great start.

I like the shapes and I see you put weapon depthing to good use. But the colors seem to clash too much for my tastes, maybe try spreading out orange (only highlights/accent) and more shades of gray for showing depth. Aside from that and some usual mirroring errors (look along the centerlines of the Katana) I like them

Most ships are overgunned, and need some more color.
Whatsup with the trusters on the Katana? :/

The second ship (frigate) may need a little less guns, yeah. But the others I think are fine. Great start.

The Katana catches my attention (in a good way.)

I think it would be good if you could replace and reposition the blasters on the Katana. Hide the engines while you are at it.

I really like the hull shape of all four, especially the wings and rear on the first! The colors clash a bit and the depth could be more pronounced, still very nice :)
The last one seems a tad bit over-armed, but I really like the depthing you did with the broadside-autocannons.
