have you ever played starcontrol two theres a scottish space terradactal clan and they are awsome.

Sketching out a sort-of-bioship faction. This is one of the Capital ships I'm working on that I'll use to inform the general aesthetic of the fleet. It's light on hardpoints (which are messed up at the moment), but I hope to make up for it in some interesting way.

It's still very much a WIP, but I'd be grateful for criticism.

looks awsome and maybe a bit creepy it has a bit dark feel about it

[conorano]

looks really cool i think it could use some built in weapons to make it stronger and make the weapons unobtainable.

[Wyvern]

Awesome bioship design there.  The mount points look out of place, though - I'd suggest not using standard starfarer weapon mount icons, and instead inventing your own that better match the ship's aesthetics; in particular, if the player leaves one of those without a weapon installed, it's going to look rather out of place.  Maybe something with a bit of glow in the same color as the engines, or a dark gaping hole into the ship's interior, or exposed light-colored "flesh", or something?

As for weapons... I'm guessing six small, three medium, and two large, all turrets?  That's actually decent armament for a capital ship.  If you want a bit more, though, I'd suggest a drone system - designed more like a scaled up variant of the Tempest's drone, where there's one or two drones active at a time, and they're more direct assault heavy-hitter types (maybe a fixed forward medium weapon & a small PD turret) than the swarms of small PD drones we more commonly see.

and make it so it cannot be salvaged...thats gonna be fun , i really like the ship though, stuff to make it better: shadows (as you said), weapon mounts as wyvern said.

My suggestion would be to have a section connecting the two heads, but leaving a gap in the middle (just because it would look awesome, and really look like the onslaught and the paragon had a bastard byblow, which = awesome )

great job, i like the shape , dark colour (you can see all the curves)
also i see some inspiration in Giger drawings
as for me i wouldn't change a thing
as for numbers of mounts: well no body say's that capital ships should be 1 ship army (or similar) it could have current numbers of mounts but it can be cheaper as for Fleet point's for spawn 2 capitals like these insted of 1 Terminator

Is this a kitbash or original spriteart? If original than HOLY MOLY! (speechless)

very cool makes me think of a shadow ship from Babylon 5

[StickyNavels]

Thanks for the feedback, people! I appreciate it.

sini002: Dark and creepy's good! I'm glad you think it is.

conorano: I do enjoy cool and exciting ship systems. I will probably design a couple more ships before I decide on gameplay mechanics that will suit the fleet. We'll see what shakes out!

Pelhamds: The gap actually was bridged in one of the concepts. I'm still going back and forth on this, but I suspect I'll settle on the current open loop in the end. Not sure what you mean by shadows? Do you mean there's a lack of depth?

Wyvern: I actually had a set of custom hardpoints before I opted for the standard ones. However, I was afraid that the ship would seem too unfamiliar without some kind of easily recognizable Starsector detail. Maybe I'm overly cautious. I do like the idea of glowing hardpoints - should be easily readable and not clash against the bioship aesthetic.

A drone system would be interesting - and I'm planning one for another Capital ship in the line-up.

theSONY: I love Giger! I will probably emphasize phallic symbolism a bit less, though...

Thule: It is original spriteart. I've tried kitbashing and found it incredibly difficult. I've got mad respect for anyone who's proficient in that!

Uthilian: To my great shame, I have to admit I've never watched Babylon 5. I googled the ship though and it looks pretty interesting. Gave me some ideas for a Cruiser.

O.o  o.O  Dude, this is.... Like... It's... OMG!!!!! I... Damn!!!  Just make your own weapon slots so they fit overall ship PERFECT design and that is it. It's...

[starfigter]

Finally had time to shade it, what do you think?
First try on shading ever, learned a lot.

[starfigter]

Did another one, a bit more special this time.
Any criticism is appreciated.

[Pelly]

one problem the dark red bits don't look attached, the middle ones look to thin as well.....i really like the engine though, same with the 'claws'

(Im sounding soo harsh and that makes me sad )
