It has been a while since these have been built (Almost a month!) but I thought I should post them anyways.

In order of least favorite to most favorite:

First off, The Classic Mission, of the Colorian Dominion.

Deeplink.

The Classic Mission (I know, I know, silly name) Is a deep space science vessel, built for exploring new planets, systems, and the like

Folder.


Next up, the Spyria's Pride, of the Spyrius Empire.

Deeplinky.

The Spyria's Pride is the flagship of Captain Gerad Spyria.

De folder.


Third on the list, is the Devasator, of the Space Police.

A deeplink.

The Devastator is the only Space Police to currently carry a working cloaking device.

The folder.


Fourth, the Zenith, of the Federation.

One deeplink.

The Zenith is what you get when you cross a cool type of Space Lego, with a very cool Star Wars ship.

Folder when public.


Last, but definitely not least, the BSS Alpha Centauri, of the Blacktron Alliance.

The last deeplink.

The Alpha Centauri was one of four identical dropships made. The four ships were the Alpha Centauri, the Beta Centauri, the Delta Centauri, and the Gamma Centauri. The Alpha Centauri had crashed, and the five survivers made a base out of the ship, which the named the Alpha Centauri Outpost as well as a ship which they name the Alpha Centauri II.

My one nitpick about this ship is it has baseplates for the floor.

I think your ships are good, but much work could be done.

You are building graduated boxes. Your geometry, in my opinion, does not look very thought out.

SNOT the sides, make curves and areas for large amounts of greebling, that is key. Add some detail, take time on every part of the ship. It looks like you sort of "slapped" boxes together.

Try building ships in different ways then you normally would. Make build it like a sky-scraper first, then when your ready, bring it down horizontal.

You have some good starts, but they could use work.

I would have to agree with the above. For me, personally, I wouldn't worry about going stud-less now. But the ships do look a little boxy. If you were to remove some of the fins and wings the remainder looks like a Moon-base (the Colorian Dominion). But I am impressed about the color schemes, they look good. Keep in mind that this opinion is only for constructive feedback, if you don't agree build a fleet of these ships. :D

Would you believe me if I said I had a fleet built right now at this very moment? Even though half the ships are official?

The boxyness (?) of the ships is a given if I am the one building it. Some of them (the Classic Mission for starters) are really boxy. others, like the Zenith and to a degree, the Devastator, arn't as boxy. Though the Zenith is just a modefied Imperial Star Destroyer.

Thanks for the critsism, I'll see if my next big ship will be less boxy.

These remind me very much of my older space builds, except better! I really love the Blacktron logo on top of the last one.

Nice ships, a little.... bricky though.

More in line with the 1980s space theme in terms of feel of the design.

Jipony and E of Alshire, it was intentional to look like the themes that they are colored in. Exept really for the Zenith, but you know the story already.

I should take some pics of my fleet.
