The Kestrel

    The Kestrel v1

    The Kestrel from FTL: Faster Than Light. The default and most recognizable ship from the game. Awesome.

    Weaponry includes an ion blaster and a beam. Very beefy and maneuverable, but lacks weaponry. Turret on the bottom (does not exist in FTL) provides additional support. Capable of liberal radar jamming and half-second cloaking, as well as scanning and an (untested) jump drive.

    Layout matches that of the original Kestrel, key differences include THE DAMN TURRET and details on the thrusters, as well as weapon size.

    Interior is very ugly.

    looks so good! i have seen many replicas of the kestrel, but they only look good on the inside, this one however looks so good on the outside. also i like it how you made the weapons a lot bigger than in game to actually do something in real combat in starmade itself without the weapon looking out of place :D
    Mate, you focused on the real interiors too much. Also you should have made the ship bigger so you could work better angles and internal space. Also don't add cloaking unless you plan to do the "Stealth cruiser" :)

    Noted. Thanks for your review! :^)
    ~The second attempt at a well constructed review follows~
    (+1) Exterior is detailed and matches that of the ship in game but isn't afraid of showing off some systems.

    (+1/-1) Interior is flawed but with a little work could end up looking quite nice.**

    (+1) Systems/weapons pack quite the punch with no major power flaws. The ship also has some knarly thrusters to push it along.

    (+1) Exterior has plenty of color variation and loads of things that draw your eye. The top of the ship is plain and could use some more detail.

    (+1) Ship matches the Kestrel is every way with excellent detailing to back it up!

    *I recommend going through some community builds and getting ideas for interiors from them.

    Overall: Excellent work on the ship! I hope to see more from you in the way of ships and skins 9/10
