    Might as well join this party!


    Side and retro thrusters? Very well done, I haven't actually seen anyone do that yet. It also adds some great looking detail to your ship!

    This deserves a +1

    Well met, sir. Cheers to your engines! Now, to add curves......
    Working on it. That ship is actually a work in progress, and still lacks a lot of detail to break up all those flat surfaces (A skill I'm still working on).

    My sadly unfinished and now lost project from some months ago.


    Side thrusters, woo!


    And this is as far as I ever got :(
    I may have to attempt to remake this. Apparently someone beat me to it though: http://starmadedock.net/threads/planetoid-class-spaceship-the-maelstrom-progress-thread.2286/
    yyeeaaahh it's me but mine is bigger (^_^)
    I got the idea from this ship.

    http://starmadedock.net/content/sdn-135-arjuna-dreadnought.1318/

    he used blast doors with logic and light to cover the weapons.
    and I think it may be inspired by my four level animated engine :)
    (first level: engine are covered with plexdoor)

    not bad has an industrial feeling to it. Two things I would comment on

    • first the wedges without a normal block next to it give a rather sharp edge
    • the thruster at the bottom, the bar that separates the thruster could use wedges too. All the other corners have them but those not

    you made it like the wedges on the left. It is just a personal taste, but I find it to sharp an edge. Maybe try it like on the right?

    Some fine looking spacebottoms you got here sirs!

    May I join this party of sinful desires:

    the back of GJFs flagship Amaterasu

    some atmospheric thrusters to hover in gravity (also it has thrusters pointing to pretty much every direction)

    More bottoms

    The new (new(new(new))) engines mounted on the spacious booty of the Regent:

    I dunno, they almost seem to be missing structural integrity; too thin where forces from the thrust would, er, rip the thrusters into pieces. Might implement a few bits of my sturdier battleship/battlecruiser thrusters tomorrow and see how that turns out.
