I like thules the best. negative side of it is that it looks a lot like the other starfarer mod symbols.
xenoargh has a more original one , but it kinda looks small not just in size. it doesnt "jump" out of the screen which is what you actually want.
hyph yours needs a bit more brightening. its too dark atm.
yours looks good Valkyrial , very clear just not really original which is not directly a problem.
Xenoargh , your ships look good and original as always. I find them a bit too smooth too much empty space on them. (only the green one doesnt have this).
this might be a choice in style but vanilla tends to have more details on the plating.
and btw maybe a nice idea, give the lights up front tiny engine flames this way they lightup when when you start moving. ^^
silentstormpt, sprite looks good. a different beam color might make it a something more special and giving the weapon sprite some bright coloring or more contrast would make it more clearly present on the ships hull.
i am not a coder but is it possible to have a beam with fragmentation damage? I would suspect it to look awkward althought it doesnt on the screen.
can they hit the ships?
