Sweet. Nice craftmanship, Atrocities.

Comments:

Of the ships you posted with variants, each time, I thought the variant looked cooler. As for the carriers, the top two are very difficult to distinguish for me... the differences are subtle. Perhaps the middle and bottom one could be made wider, or the top one could have some additional colored patterning on it (the blue markings, for example)?

Another possibility is the "thorns" on the sides, which could be varied in number for the different size classes. For the ships below the carriers, for example, you could give them 2, 3, and 4 side-thorns at the ship's tail - currently, the overhead outline of the bottom two is identical, as they are different only by a vertical fin and the grey tanks. Coloring the vertical fin so it is obvious on the overhead view might be nice, too, as would giving the bottom one wider wings. The red dots near the front might look better if you could move them out a bits, so they were visible in an overhead view...

Lastly... naming the ship sets (eg "Carriers") is very useful for giving specific feedback=)

Re: Robotech Ship Set

I think the carriers look fine as is-- but im not that asthetic(sp?)

Re: Robotech Ship Set

I can doll up the second one a bit more. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Carriers

Light Carrier
Carrier
Heavy Carrier

The Varients are actual ships that I have seen that were slightly differant than the once I was modeling after. I may doll up the Varients a bit more to distingish them a bit more, but right now I want to concentrate on just getting the set roughed out.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I think they look fine, too; I just have trouble distinguishing between the top 2 carriers, and between the bottom two ships of the group of three below carriers, whatever they are. They all look great, but in the overhead view those ones are hard to differentiate.

Re: Robotech Ship Set
