Hmm. Will you be making a banner for this faction?

[Erick Doe]

Maybe later.

This is amazing! You've managed to produce an entire themed faction of ship sprites in very short order! I really like the method and the style

Bit there ain't no complete faction without capitals, is there?

[Zilerrezko]

holy crap O.o, I've drawn at least 100 varied ships for my mod and I've only made about 4 sprites in a few days. And you've made an Armada of ship sprites, very detailed too. D';

love the artstyle

[cp252]

Nice unified look.  I like your style too.
That said, while pasting together the same small bits all the time keeps things consistent, a few larger pieces to build specific ships around (say, that carrier's flight deck, or some huge prow shields, or some other conspicuous functional/aesthetic element) would make the ships much more distinct from each other, and their roles easier to identify at a glance. For example, I know the difference between an Onslaught and a Condor's battlefield role the moment I lay eyes on them.

[Erick Doe]

Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping that the roles would show. Carriers for example have a distinct flightdeck. Although, the lack of colour variation might cause things like decks to be easily overlooked.

This CVL (light carrier), for instance, was designed around its flightdeck:



And without further delay: the CV!

Consul-class Carrier Mk2 (cruiser)



I'm classifying all the ships a certain way.

K = Corvette (the faction's strikecraft)
FF = Frigate
DD = Destroyer
CVL = Light Carrier Vessel
CL = Light Cruiser
CA = Heavy (armored) Cruiser
CV = Carrier Vessel

More hull classifications will follow once I've got a larger variety of ships up.

Have you tried making angled flightdecks? Or angled anything, really. I think that's part of why everything looks too indistinguishable... your big carrier looks like two small carriers smushed up too. And nice colourful red and green landing lights might help~

Thanks, those are good tips.

[Durendal5150]

Any chance you might make more of these? I'm planning to start statting them as a time killer project. Might fiddle with the sprites a little too. (Mainly the flight decks. They're hard to make out)

[Upgradecap]

Yeah, this faction needs more capitals here. Will be needing them soon

[Durendal5150]

Here we go: Carriers with more obvious flight decks.
