I'm okay with orange and red, but blue could be better...
Meant in other blocks that aren't wool. 1.5 will have the redstone block, so there's red. Lapis isn't any good for blue, and there's no orange.

You may find my critique a little insulting, and I apologize for that, but here it is.
Spoiler:
The fighters are pretty good, I'd try going a little bigger so the 'wide triangle' theme is more obvious, they look like the tip of a Dorito.

The A boarding craft has a bad case of bloated whale syndrome. I advise making it pointy so it looks like it could punch through a ship. Maybe elongate it a little, flatten it some.

Pegasus could use a little more... angularity. It's bulky and unshapely, but that's okay because it's heavily armored. A new color scheme would be nice, along with some more shaping of the prow area.

Make the Centaur a little larger than the Pegasus, just add a rectangular carry bay on the belly. Otherwise, see Pegasus.

Hercules is large, large adds points, but it's a bit flat, I'd make the nose pointier. The change from the fore to the aft section is rather drastic, too.

Labyrinth: That you have there is a stone ball with a *.

Basilisk is interesting, but too round. The front half is fine, but the back could use some deviation from the ellipse.

The Egg is so cute, it looks like it could give you diabetes just from being so sweet and cuddly.

Lemnos is too elliptical in profile, the top view is good. It needs some variation in color.

Faun: That mech looks like a constipated Fireant skeleton.
This is a Fireant VV

minotaur: is this what you were going for?

Sabertooth is small.

That missile looks odd, and not in a good way.

That gun looks odd, and not in a good way.

thank you for your critiqes i had a good laugh about some of them

my response
Spoiler:
the whale as you discibed it wouldnt punch a hole thru a ships wall it has a prow at the nose and only the prow is ment to digin

the centaur is a pegasus only with the door enlarged if you didnt see. both the ships fit in the landing bays and the centaur could carry 3 sabertooth and thats enough

hercules was ment to look like diffrent ships were sown together because a real mercenary group wouldnt be able to afford a ship that big
and yes the bottom is flat and i dont reallly know what to do about it because i put some cannons there but still it looks flat if you have an idea tell me

labyrinth yes it is but it has but cheaks too so that makes it okey

faun i dont know if you have downloaded the folder but if you have a good look at the mech you would see it looks nothing like the fireant
same with the minotaur the minotaur is a tower on wheels but it has no cannons no cannons at all you would jus shoot thru holes or drop tnt down

yes the saberthooth is small it is a slow speederbike with an attitude

and the pictures of weapons ar real bad

I like the new fighters, but why do the guns have different lengths?

You know, on such a small ship, the different recoil of the guns would cause it to go off-course. Besides, it looks ridiculous. And the fighter is wider than it is long, which makes no sense considering how its designed.
This is a signature.

ok i will even out the guns
but why is it ridiculous disigned i dont know wich one you are talking about
but i have tought long and hard about both of them
and they are small but thats the thing that makes it usefull
having enough space for a single pilot with engines and a cockpit
thats all they need for fighting

For a hypothetical calculation in a not-realistic space game, I'm pretty sure recoil is a no.
