I honestly don't know where you're trying to go with this. You might have not read previous posts but small detail is a hard thing for me and it's also not what I'm aiming for. The design of the stuctures/detail is something I put a lot of work in, so you calling them "poor" is almost in some way hurtfull. Yet you're very vague about it all, so I'm not even sure if this even counts a feedback.
Sensory overload? I would call it more a sensory stimulus. It's a ship that's build to draw your eyes all over the place. Each structure holds it's purpose for afar and when you look at it closely. It's not like some crystals placed in rows that look like rooms when you're far away but become meaningless when you take a closer look.
Your post starts pretty rude, then seems like it's about to give some actual feedback, but then just continues the first but even vaguer. And that in only 2 ish lines of text. The whole is just as empty as it is vague, you might aswell just have wrote "I don't like the ship".
You don't get where I'm going with this?
Too. Much. Detail.
I don't care if it's not what you're aiming for, or 'small' detail is hard for you. The placement and structure is poor. There's no sense, nor direction behind it, it literally looks like a mish-mash of flashy details that have been slammed onto a flat structure and were just named that because it suited you. So yeah, it is poorly put together, and if you think you can appeal to a sense of kindness after I passed on some honest criticism, then you'd be wrong. I couldn't care any less that you find it 'hurtful.'
You can call it whatever you like, doesn't make it any less overbearing. And if it draws your eyes all over the place then no one can discern the overall structure. Too much detail just makes it look gaudy, tacky, overwhelming, cluttered and just plain messy. I mean, look at those engines. Way too much going on there, nothing looks like it does anything, and everything just looks like you let yourself go with the detailing and it just looks like a tacky mess that looks to serve no purpose. If you didn't call them engines, no one would have figured out what there were. Details on the side of the hull serve no purpose than to just look nice, or because you don't seem to know when to stop placing blocks. In the world of detail, less is more. And that doesn't mean make a plain box. It means too much detail, too much going on at once is ugly.
It is an ugly looking ship.
Which is a damn shame, because you're clearly skilled at laying those blocks. You just need some moderation.
In the future, ask if feedback is not clear. Ask them to elaborate. Don't put your back up against the wall and get defensive. I am not the kind of person to mince their words or pull their punches, so don't tell me my critique is hurtful, because my usual response will be to tell you to man up.
