Two things though, the cranes look like they have a bit too many white or light pixels. It doesn't look quite right. Also, there's some purple dots at the top right breach, near some of the lights, that don't look like they belong there.
Just noticed the purple pixels, no idea how they got there, fixed anyway. I'll rework the cranes as well.
Y u no make a unique paragon?
Usually i say i don't like making big ships coz' they're harder to sprite, but after making those i guess i don't have excuses anymore
In some way i already made a pimped pirate Paragon for the TIM mod, not yet released though. I'll see what i can do.
Ember, i really like the redesign of your faction, they're pretty impressive. I still miss the old sprites, maybe you could post them on the spiral arms thread for someone else to use?
MShadowy, as other said, it's very impressive. I'll eventually try to handraw my stuff as well, have no tablets though.
