Nailed the crescent on the second and third one.
However, the stripes give off a weird Imperial Japan vibe that doesn't fit IMO. Maybe go for a more "thorns" look, instead of having those stripes straight to the center

Anxiously awaiting the bolstered Pather horde!

yeah, i'm really getting the IJN vibe off the dominator, despite the weird colors. looks like a rising sun pattern.

On that note, what would an IJN based faction in Starsector look like?

[SpacePoliticianAndaZealot]

Tiandong is fairly close for me.

Also i kinda feel using "big" ships doesn't works with the usual Luddic Path lore and tactics. Or at least that was my impression in the current SS version. I'm not sure.

Well they're not that different from pirates. And we've never seen pirates captain anything bigger than a cruiser, and even then it's a (D) cruiser, part of an uncommon pirate armada or such. From what I've seen anyway.

These guys are the real life equivalent of ISIS, and while ISIS has some serious financing you don't see them running around with battleships.

In vanilla Luddic Path uses Hounds, Cerberus, Kites.... common, easy to destroy, capture and maintain ships. I reckon they'd also be really into shuttles like the Hermes and Mercury. Just like the Pirates would be.

I've seen the converted dram you added to SS+ and I think stuff like that suits them more than Onslaughts. Really, how do wacko's that bully trade fleets even acquire a battleship?

Well, they gotta acquire massive firepower sometime...

I really like the second paint job. Seems somehow to give it a rougher more brutal look, which is totally fitting with the ship.

[Golol]

yea, the second one reminds me of face paintings for war. and that spirit really fits the Onslaught!
On the 3rd one the stripes in the center region really nicely pronounce the ships features.
I've never done any modding or spriting, I'm not even into visual art at all, but since I have over the years put some hours into inkscape I thought I'd just for fun try making a ship.
So yea, this is a sprite... done with a vector graphics program.
Anyways this is probably a frigate. But it's not quite done yet.


2 slightly different versions. Which one is better?
I guess I have to add detail now, huh? Greebles! And maybe i should make some smoother surfaces for it to be less flat.

Some simple none-sprite art for a video

I know the angles and perspectives are off (its a little raw), but other than that fire away.

There was just something about spilling coffee on your socks to start a bad day that wanted me to make this a visual thing. 

[Golol]

lol


on a serious note, you're right with the perspective but damn they are intriguing.
Like, if they're not trying to be photorealistic but damn they have atmosphere.
for example the metal in the second image on his helmet and the shoulder protector... that green thing doesn't make sense if you logically think about it, but it gives this an odd vibe.
The odd perspectives even kind of fit in that aspect. In the starsector universe, things aren't perfect.
So the 1st and 3rd are really good atmosphere wise and the 2nd is just sick.
Idk why but the lightning, the way things are kind of *** up... that gives it such a flair.

It feels weird to say it for something so tiny, but Talon Fighter looks so awesome >.<!

Woa! that looks pretty sweet! It looks pretty bright though on the first one, like it is made of candy-cane.
