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!
They're not too round, they're too much roundish brick, or not roundish enough for Aeon-stylish ships.
For roundish ships, I wouldn't recommend using a grey scheme.
I think that last ship is treading too much in "brick" territory. Blocky ships can work if done right, but that ship's just... well a block. These newer ships have strange green areas over the thrusters too. If it's an engine glow, it'd probably go better behind the thrusters, rather then directly on top of them.
Out of your ship designs, I'd say the Far Skry's looked the most promising to me.

Treading? More like leaping over the border and marching straight into Brick Heartland...
I'd say go back to your older, egg-like style... It was certainly a lot better than these bricks, and with some refining, the eggs could be a very good new style... Haven't seen those on the fora lately, so you'd be a breath of fresh air for sure. And don't forget, eggs can hatch, don't be afraid to experiment, it's the only way to rise higher.
Lose the yucky green glow on all of these ships, and lose the section spam on the Father Time. Also, tone down the eyeburn colors on this... fleet... colors like 255, 0, 0 and such are not pretty.
On mules we find two legs behind
and two we find before.
We stand behind before we find
what those behind be for.
The father time is gone and dead, scrapped I couldn't fix it, I gave up and started small. I don't see the irony, please explain, and recolored and edited it into front post. Cleaned up my post so theres no more random ships that are now dead. See first post for new ship.
I created another ship out of boredom. UER Free Lancer, a partol cruiser in the fleet of the United Earthen Republic. There sort of the bad guys against my fleet.
