The Freeholds Of Valyria

Do you have something against their design?
At least they have a way to visually differentiate their ships.

while their design aren't bad, everyone wants to make an enterprise. Making Star Trek ships seems a but unoriginal

That is why I am never going to build an enterprise unless I decide to do a star trek fleet, and why my dreadnought doesn't really look anything like tht picture; it would probably be more appropriate to say I was "inspired" by a mental image of Klingon bird of prey from an episode of TOS

All the Star Trek Federation ships have already been built!

Though he did just convert them from preexisting 3d models....

wow...
erm... anyone know what ship that to the right of the Akira-class is?
It looks like Steamrunner-class, but it´s too big for one...

[MrTargareyan]

Right, since i am waiting for Eihort and optifine to update to 1.5, i thought i would do some of the detailing on my light cruiser; it took about 5 attempts to get this far, and im not entirely happy with it, but its probably as good as i can do without suggestions

Looks pretty good, implying that you intend to use a sleek look, altough that can get ugly at really large ships.
Maybe put some smaller weapons onto it to make it a bit more armed. It does need secondary and tertriary weapons after all...

[Laserbilly]

the webbing looks nice

[MrTargareyan]

OK, finished it (ish), its not the best photo as Eihort makes red wool look really over bright for some reason (I copied the world over to voltz so i could view it in eihort) It is now armed, i made them hard to notice deliberatly, but it has 6 forward facing high yeild lasers and 2 backwards facing. It also has 3 small broadside cannons (on each side). I dont really like the way it looks, but the design of the ship was never great as i just started placing diamonds randomly. I havent done a cockpit actually, i will do tht at some point.

I can see the forwards-facing ones and the back-facing ones are propably covered by other blocks.
Also, the red stripes being brighter here doesn´t hurt its appearence as it makes them look glow-ish. I like red glowish stuff on black backgrounds.
Those holes with the yellow frame, are they hangars?
Also note that you might want to be able to fire sideways unless you make a massive engine to have the ship be as maneuverable as a fighter...

The forward facing guns you can see as indents in the bow, the back ones are housed in the pointy bits at the rear and the yellow framed thingys were going to be solid shelled MAC's, then i decided my new ships would be super advanced, so i guess i will make them hangers or guns About the engines, although this ship has some small ant-fighter/pinnace weaponry, it has an extremely powerful spacial manipulation engine (no this does not mean it can teleport at 10000000000000mph, it just means i dont have to put sleekness ruining exaust nozzles everywhere) Basically its a giant hidden engine.

this might be the first time I say this, but I like it just black...

I know what you mean actually, but it feels kinda cheaty just to leave it as it is given how i built it Anyway, i have been experimenting with different coloured webbing on the light cruiser, i cant decide beetween thm though so please vote (i dont know how to set up a poll though so just tell me in a comment

warning, lots of pics:

I don't think any of those colors look as good as it did when it was just black.

[Ivan2006]

I prefer the first, in my opinion red looks very good on black background.
Anyway, I guess it´s mostly up to how you did/plan on doing your other ships.

[MrTargareyan]

Ok, even if it looks better entirely black, which i do actually agree with; i am going to keep the colour, as i said, making a ship entirely with an airbrush then not even detailing it makes me feel very lazy-which i do not like. So basically its a question of which colour you dislike the least Also, i now have to butcher my heavy cruiser with colour, so if anyone wants to help me with that i can host a server and put it on as im a bit stuck with it
