Author Topic: RFF-4M Russian Fighter Ship  (Read 2962 times)

my first good build, the Russian RFF-4M
it is armed with 2 autocannons, 2 artillery cannons, and 2 rocket bays
rate 10/10

I like the general shape. Buuut

It doesn't feel Russian in any way
The ramps make it feel sort of not-smooth as you would imagine a spaceship to be.
Why would a fighter have artillery? And for an artillery round that's really small.
It's pretty dull, color wise. All mostly grey with some small accents.
The worst thing I can see is that you have lots of detail where you don't need it, but not a lot of detail on say the walls of the ship, the floor, the wings...
There is a lot of dependency on custom bricks too. Using Pre-made wings is sort of an instant "well that's lame.."

Not bad, but not perfect, 7/10

I'm in no position to complain about this as I don't do anything but it myself, but the little bittle eety peety wings are way too full of detail/guns/rocket pods/stabilisers...
It gives a crammed look :|

Rest of the ship looks great.

if you want it to look Russian then base it around an already existing well-known Russian plane, something like the Su-27 or Mig 29a

also the ramps look spammy with the amount that you put on, and it looks too high compared to its length.

Try and make it looked streamlined and slick first. I know there's no atmosphere in space, but who cares.

thanks for the feedback, ill keep this in mind for my next spaceship build

but the thing i focused mostly on is functionality, like the weapons don't simply fire each time you press it, the button in the roosterpit are on/off switches and the rocket pod button had to shoot 4 rockets from each pod in a row which were a pain in the star fish to get right as I am not experienced with eventing

but yea I agree with everything you said and I will try to improve

edit; one more thing, I don't really know how to make good small wings without using wedge bricks, could you show an example how good small wings could be made with them

I think this is wonderful. Aside from the feedback already given, i really the idea and concept of it. keep up the good work.
(This is definitely Dutch-looking though.  :D )

It gives a crammed look :|
it was supposed to look cramped, i mean is it really a bad thing?
