Yeah in the current game version ships of all kinds are common enough in the civilian market place, but now we can't buy weapons worth crap.

Thus is life, Alex giveth, Alex taketh away.

[Knight Chase]

Expect a patch soon.

I think that sprite needs a bit more work, here's the stuff that stands out to me:

The belly hole looks odd.
Conning tower looks misplaced, too far forward/no volume?
Tail appears flat and sticks out too far, edges are sloppy imo.
Engines don't appear to connect to a power plant.
Sides appear to have sheer walls, looks flat.
The area between the two rear turrets, lines lead nowhere, asymmetry in descending diagonals, despite the ship being symmetrical.
Ship appears to lack body in general.

I'm at work, so I unfortunately can't mark the areas visually. Maybe post it in the sprite judgement thread? They're probably more constructive than me, besides, I'm not a sprite artist.

EDIT: scribbled

[Knight Chase]

Noted, was my first draft.

[Knight Chase]

AHA, SECOND DRAFT
What do you think now?

[Kittah Khan]

Front, engines and tail look a lot better now.

The connective point between the two rear turrets still needs work.
I feel like the tail needs to be pushed up a bit, this will also allow a bit more room for the engines.
The conning tower could probably do with a bit more armoring in front?
The sides should probably be extended a bit, with a slope, this should also add some more room for engines.
Another option is to add more shading to the sides suggesting a slope, but having the weapon mounts shaded to suggest a platform around them?

Once I get back home, I could do some crude cutting and pasting.
EDIT: fiddled around a bit, couldn't get something I liked beyond pushing the tail up a bit.

I think the second draft looks pretty good, except that big square in the middle. That still looks kinda weird.

Oh uh, pulling the download then putting it back up to switch one thing. Apparently I heard there were crashes in the campgin for league fleets, so I've removed the last thing referencing the Tiburo. Hopefully it fixes it.

This is the specific test I ran to narrow this crash down to your mod, as far as I can tell.
Start a campaign as Sylphon, Travel to the Persean station in Joy, access the market.
Upon doing so, I get this crash:

I am using your 8.1.8 release. If there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know.

[Knight Chase]

Redownload and use a new save please.

[leahcimbulwark]
