For a while now I've been working on a Spaceship.
Not much else left to say. But pictures are worth 1,000 words!
Also, you can see this on my server. It is currently no longer giving status cause I'm too lazy to update this every time I launch my server.














Please don't post handicapped criticism. handicapped criticism means criticizing for every little last tiny detail, or criticism that's hurtful and not helpful.

What's going on with the exterior?

EDIT: I guess you removed the pictures...

Some sort of glitch.
Fixed now though

Looks neat, but pretty flat on the sides and top.

Exterior could use some detail, but interior isn't bad

Yeah, I'm not very good on starship exterior. I'll see if I can add something to make it look a little better.

I was planning on adding a one-room triangle-shaped building on top. I figured after many many days of working on this on my server, if I didn't release at least screenshots on a forum topic it'd get build stolen.

better then the ones I make! this is good.

I like the incoporated concept of large hallways and corridors but it's a bit bland. Try putting more detail and maybe more color so it's more visually appealing to walk through.

X203 Health and Safety Manual that Nobody Reads

Congratulations! If you are reading this you're either
A. anyone who is on the forums
or
B. A member of the X203.


--The Blast-proof room--
The blast-proof room is for
1. Getting attacked by an enemey and you're weapons are down--- JUST KIDDING, IF THIS HAPPENS, WE'RE ALL SCREWED!
2. Having a crashlanding
3. You need to make a water landing -- KIDDING AGAIN, THIS SHIP WOULD NEVER SURVIVE THAT!
We also have locked the emergency supply closet and destroyed the key so no enemy gets our supplies. Clever, right?

--Nueclear Reactor meltdowns
If there is a nuclear meltdown, line up at the door and single filely get out of the ship. When everyone ignores this rule, simply try to get out the fastest.

--The AI of the ship turns on us
First, you'll probably want to disable her air-sucking things. They can suck all the air out of the ship within 15 seconds, so if an enemy takes the ship, we can kill him! Of corse, if it's being used against you, let's face it, YOU'RE SCREWED!
If you are in a room and she locks the door behind you and sucks out all the air, calmly scream at the top of your lungs with your last remaining air for help.

--A staff member turns on us
Shoot him in the face then T-bag his dead body. Pretty simple.
I am not responsible for your death if you read and followed this manual.

It all looks very repetetive, unless you're not showing use some rooms


It looks pretty good so far, but I'll give you some tips on making starships: (although I'm not good at it either)
Exterior:
1. Don't make the roof and the sides all flat.
2. Place some sort of weaponry or anything that should be on the hull's surface.
3. Do not make it a gigantic rectangle, make it cylindrical or other shapes you want it to be using ramp bricks.
4. Maybe adding hangars on the sides to make it look like it has an interior
5. Engines on the back or sides. (Duh, a ship can't fly without one)
6. Make it have various levels. (To prevent it from looking like a long rectangle)
7. Add various colors to the metal plates on the hull. (To make it not bland in color)

Interior:
1. Decorate the walls with some sort of air vents/pipelines/neon lights/windows/etc.
2. Make the ceiling have some sort of metal beams to make it look like it's not flat.
3. Make the lights a little bigger.
4. Maybe putting some domestic things like plants/carpets/idk

Yeah, that's what I can say. I'm not trying to criticise you in any way but I think this should help you at least a little bit. I know there are other good people so you should really sak other people help if you want more.

Some of this I was planning on doing. Thanks though.
For the domestic things, well, I only have a few rooms furnished

I have alot of rooms, but most of them are either A. Not very furnished or B. Restricted (like the captains room or the Nueclear Reactor Room(may end up showing) and some parts of the ship I feel should be not all open to the public.
