I've finally created a decent ship.

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!

I've finally created a decent ship.

Post by nutman217 »

I present to you the ship that represents me. Hopefully it'll surpass the rules of Shipbuilding. I put alot of effort into making this guy, trying my best to follow those rules as well.

It's not that bad, but it does look very messy.

Link for an image of the ship becuase I can't get the "img"s tags to work.

I agree with Giles. the ship isn't great, but it isn't a complete piece of crap.

Comments on the Ship:

-Like Giles said, the ships is kind of messy.

-The aegis'ed circle on the bottom half of the ship appears to be smaller than then its counterpart on the other side. (This may just be me.)

-The wings look rather vulnerable, maybe you could beef them up a bit.

-You can turn parenting lines off for when you take screenshots by pressing "P".

-The random use of some the "alien" sections (Sections 11, 12, 14, 15, and 19 are usaually called the alien sections.) makes the front part of the ship looks a little weird to me. I mean this area here in case you don't know what I'm talking about.

Overall, this ship is a huge improvement over the "flying pirate ship"

It seems roughly and hurriedly thrown together, with not much thought given to overall aesthetic taste and proper section usage. Really, you should think over a ship carefully before you even begin to build it. It might help.

Ok, not horrible, but not great either. I think you're on to something, though, so keep going.

I think the best way to describe this ship is that it's bony.
In my opinion, I think you need to rethink/add more to these spots:

Otherwise, it's bony and skinny. :D

Engines:

Well, if you're going to use section 13's (like me), flatten them out, so that it doesn't look like a sphere for an engine. also, the placement (and size) of the two engine seems... not right; add something to make it look like an engine.

So overall, good ship but needs more.

The smaller green circles on the sides are supposed to be secondary reactors or something like that. Thanks for all the helpful tips, they'll help me alot on my shipbuilding! Also, I hope I didn't follow the part repetition rule too much!

So do I. If they went ahead and made part repetition a rule, the quality of everyone's ships would drop.
