That sprite bears the littlest resemblence to its original counterpart out of all the ships you made. At first I couldn't decide if it was a paragon or a modified hurricane.
I think you captured the paragons high tech spirit quite well.
Also the hanging bridge looks like a skull to me. ???

@Helmut: Ooh, I like it a lot. :)
If you happen to end up not using that, then I'd love to put it in the Sardaukar mod (which, now that I think of it, still needs updating >_>).

A battle barge? With a built-in gun in the middle?

I'm more surprised by the 20 small mounts on that thing than the main gun, vulcan boat of doom?

Too bad i have been working on ships with a similar shape design, guess i'll have to rework them a bit.

Very impressive sprite anyway, Cycerin quality as expected.

It looks like a heavily armoured Tarsus, thus immediate thought was a battle barge. Just a thing to carry LOTS of guns. Like that one ship is some very old mod (the minimash, I think) where an Atlas had all the containers removed and instead had 10 large guns, 5 a side.

Glad you finally came back on your decision to not cancel Aeon of Darkness. For the middle engine, i'm not bothered by its size, intrigued by the red bits that stuck out though. Also, your ship is very, very dark. Isn't it too confusing to fight with it on the usual dark background of Starsector?

The additional shading / contrast and tiny details make a world of difference! Well done.

Mendonca, have you considered adding some more areas of neutral color to your sprites? I think it'd make the colorful parts pop more. Like more naked metallic areas or exposed substructure. The parts that are already done like that work very well.

@ Mendonca - Decided to have a whirl at it, if it matters ^_^

Yeah, thanks Cyc, that sounds like very good advice.

Continuing to toy, I think it's going in the right direction. I suspect one or two semi-bold changes in significant items of detail would set this off nicely. Need to figure out what to do.

Probably needs tweaking somewhere on the left hand side near the front which I think is the weakest area, now.

Hyph, thanks dude, looks good - mind spelling out what you did? All round desaturation, increased brightness and contrast, desaturated the missile 'nacelles'?

I prefer the left version, the other one is too dark for my taste, it tends to hide the nice details (which one is the new one anyway?)

edit: don't take my comment too seriously though, my screen is kinda broken so i'm not even sure if what i see is how it really is. Really need to change it.
