Finished the giant goth cucumber of DOOM (not really i need to invent some new weapons for the doom bit) since the gothic cucumber doesnt sound very menacing, if anyone has a name for it that would be great :)

It's not too big, but it's pretty nice

Added the Narcist Light freighter, i think it looks a bit squat but ive never really tried to add a giant box to a ship before and get it to look sleek. At some point i will go back and do the detail on it but at the moment i am leaving it as it is as it is driving me insane trying to get it to look good.

The shape of the freighter is alright but the engine parts are a bit bland.

40k... I used to play that game quite a bit but never really liked the imperium, more of a dark eldar sorta person. I like the imperium ships but am not quite sure about how to modify them to make them less grand, hmm it will be interesting to see what my 40k inspired ship will look like, hopefully I won't fail to badly. Any suggestions on toning down the imperial 40k ships would be great :)

I'm Necron. Necron all the way.

Anyway, the ships are pretty fancy, I think the best way to tone them down is to make them smaller, and use less gold.

Well, you're getting better. The ships still don't look steam-punk though.

Yeah, with the steam punk style idea I decided that I just wasn't going to do it, I did try on a few never uploaded ships (mainly never uploaded because they were awful) but my natural instinct is to build a (sort of) sleek ships but unfortunately me+sleek (ish)+steam punk = EPIC FAIL :| so I decided just to try and give everything a vaguely archaic feel, then I didn't do that either very well so I just try to make it look like a unified force as best I can, which mainly due to the fact that everything is the same colour, it does reasonably well....sort of... I really need to try and build a bigger ship though,many help would be useful :)

I like the new ship. But, please, give up on the steampunk. Your ships need to be sleek, black-and white things of beauty. If I were you, I'd change the booster engines on the sides of your ship into (larger) shield-like fins along the side.

Yeah, i know, that ship wasnt meant to be steampunky. I am just in the process of trying to modify the glimmar steampunk texture pack, i only realy want the wool textures but im not to good at art so it might take a while. about the "booster engines" on the new ship, i do need to change them but there not booster engines they are meant to be guns xD I might try to combine the wool textures with a star trek texture pack? then i could use the consoles from the trek pack instead of command blocks and crafting tables.
