Firstly allow me to thank you for taking the time to read this and (if you choose) reply.
Here's my question to all you ship builders out there, big small, thick, tall, long and strange. How do you come up with your ideas? Pictures? Drawings? The reason I ask this is because I find myself always thinking up a design or a cool idea, I get maybe 60% done with the body and either A, it look completely to small or short. Or B, Its very flat, plain and really looks no better then a floating plain grey cube.
Second question, what would you say are good ways to make a ship look less like something slapped together and more like a purpose build ship. I've seen HUNDREDS of amazing designs in the Shipyard and yet I can't unlock the secrets of their shapes, curves, edges, and even some rather smooth fancy looking ships.
Any tips, tricks are welcome. again thank you for your time and I hope other find this post informative with the answers that are provided.
