The ship isn't brilliant but this won't help him: YOU JUST MARKED THE WHOLE F***ING SHIP AS CLUTTERED.
Sorry magick but you are acting like a jerk.

Your acting like Anna without the skills to back it up so yes you can say whatever you want about his ships but he or others can also label your comments asinine and useless 
Could part of the 'clutter' be that he made the struts fold into the main body, thus the sections aren't meant to fit together well? I'll grant that the barrel could be more creative but we've had this discussion before and a barrel isn't meant to do much besides fling shit at you.
Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if you said whether you did this, but will those blue arcs move, like a Jacobs ladder? It would look sick, especially if the frequency increased as it gets closer to firing.

1)Yeah, that could be it.jwa8402 wrote: Could part of the 'clutter' be that he made the struts fold into the main body, thus the sections aren't meant to fit together well?

2) I didn't say the barrel wasn't creative, i said it was extremely flimsy.
According to other people, of course, i'm not intelligent enough to act like Anna.jwa8402 wrote:Your acting like Anna without the skills to back it up so yes you can say whatever you want about his ships but he or others can also label your comments asinine and useless
Edit: Shit, do you have to attack my comments wherever i go?
I can easily concur with Magick in saying that most of the ship is a mess of cluttered, monochrome sections.
Some of the section usage in the main fuselage is quite bad, though it could probably be saved by some cleanup and proper shading. The depthed weapons are well-placed, but I really don't like the way the they've been colored with the same drab, uninspiring shade of gray as the rest of the ship. I'm pretty damn sure that leaving them in their default colors would make them look better-- more contrast that way, better than lolgraybrick. And that shade of orange isn't too pleasing either, especially not on the weapons.
Overall it needs work. It isn't completely terrible or horribly noobish, but still doesn't pass mustard. Mainly on the colors-- try some shading around the middle part of the ship. You'll probably learn proper section usage with time.

How would I lower the clutter of the back section.
What I tried to do was lay down smaller, thinner sections to make kinda like a skeleton then I fleshed it out with the bigger parts and weapons.
Also the cannon struts really aren't so flimsy, there's a double row of Girder sections under the large plates along with the sections lining the inside of the barrel.
@jwa8402: I tried something similar to that but I personally did not like the way it came out.
@EriErin: By shading do you mean lightening the color of the sections the closer they are to the main block?

Just some tips to make it look even better:
Tweak the shields 2 colours to blend in with eachother, slichtly darker for the inner one I suggest.
Since you recoloured the guns already make the vulcans in the back a slightly darker colour, just slightly so they don't stand out like a sore thumb.
Btw the engine injection sprites(atleast that's what I think) are super cool.
