    Preferred styles; I don't even really know, I've made a few ships, most of them horrible looking.
    Qualities; simple design, general interior, and I dabble with logic.

    The current ship I'm working on is the VolksSchiff



    yay, cute little miniship.

    So the Volkshiff is like the Volkswagon but in space? :p

    You know how the Schwernergustav doesn't gustav schwerners because it's impractical?

    Looks very similar to an older Vaygr ship (Thunderhead I think it was called), I certainly dig it though!

    Maybe someone can give me design ideas for a ships nose? I have reworked it already several times and although i like the front view so far i am still pretty unsatisfied with the profile from the side.

    Username: Azereiah

    Preferred Styles: All simple styles. Good shapes that speak for themselves, rather than requiring massive greebling to look okay.

    Qualities: Simple Design, Complex Shaping, Logic (limited for most current ships, but understand it well enough to build semi-complex systems), General Exterior.

    If I may, the front view looks very utilitarian. Like a military vessel would. Clear defined shapes, and simple angles.
    This changes when viewed from the side. The 'hull layers' have differing angles. Making it look more chaotic (don't know if that's the perfect word).
    Personally I would try and simplify the angles used. Get a more clean cut look.

    I would recommend deleting the platform (that sticks out past the front detail) and the sides connected to it.

    Thanks for the these advices. I have now redesigned the nose into a sharper basic frame and working it out from that. At the moment it looks promissing.

    Might as well join this too :)

    Username: ArgoContar

    Preferred style: All styles( I keep changing them every few weeks)

    Qualities:Can make really complex curves by hand, passable interior details, made an animation with logics once, can make fairly good looking sculptures.

    Might as well post the 2 new salvagers i have (one of them is really far from being finished):



    Their defining feature are the "magnetic beams" whose purpose is to extend and retract some ship parts:



    Extra: my current sculpture collection, enjoy :)

    I really like the beams. Would you mind if I adapt them for a project of mine?

    Well it's not like i own them, so you can use whatever you want. :)
    You can easily change the colour by replacing the glass with different coloured crystal armor if you want.

    It's just decency to ask before lifting an idea from someones work.
    Thanks for the tip, blue will be fine though I think.
