    So i just began making a new ship, hull is almost done (going to fill the top and bottom and try and add some stuff so it isnt flat) but i just recently realized how much of a pain in it will be to fill in the front interior because of the high quantity of "bumps" and the fact that im trying to make a shotgun pattern laser array.



    Any tips or something?

    EDIT:
    Actually this shape is too complex for me right now




    Well i prefer it to be more cubish than it to not be finished at all

    still got the original problem though

    Draw. Screen shot your ship at several angles and draw stuff. It'll come easier that way. Then once you draw something that resembles an idea, the rest will fill itself in.

    Yeah i sort of cheated by placing the pulse missiles first and making the area flat, then i added the beams.
    Ship is sort of finished(still missing me trying to make it less flat on top and bottom)
    @jath i sort of drew with my crappy drawing skills on a not-drawing tablet

    I didn't draw the back though

    I'm really happy to see that you're not making a brick, though. Your ships are getting better tbh :D

    You fill in the arrow part by making a 'wall' or hull from where the angle starts, then you'll have to be patient filling that in in a standard way.

    Then you have the easy part. Just 10x10x10 the other bit.

    Nice ship BTW, agree with keptick good to see people improve.

    This ship isnt even 2 days old and it already had a legit combat

    Which told me that this ship doesnt suck on killing other ships of its size
