Cheers guys... will have to rebuild maybe. There are some errors but will see what can do.

My main problem is that these are from my universe same as the ones in the contest. ... but I was trying to do non-human ships but failed so went back to doing these for the British in my universe.
any alien suggestions welcome... need to be original.

It depends on what your aliens are going to be? What are the people like, what are their aesthetics?

Lol I don't know. They have intersystem travel so more advanced than my humans . Other than that  all I know is the ship or ships are bigger than the chimera .

Every idea I have is the clich? that most aliens are. I'm thinking bipedal  but not Looking like humans . I'm kind of stuck lol.  Fantasy seems easier to create than sci-fi lol

Cross fantasy with sci-fi then. Look into different Earth species and how their enviroments affect them. There's some pretty cool stuff as well as some outright creepy stuff out there. Maybe make them aquatic aliens. That's not seen very often.

the problem is, that alien species fall into three phenotypes that have always been used
Rubber Forehead Aliens; the trek/B5 standard
critter aliens; the star wars standard
Starfish aliens; the sci-fi literature standard

why not go old-skool and use the Greys and invading robots?

Problem with the Grey is that they're still humanoid. Maybe go for something more ethereal. Heck, lose the physicality of it and go to classic Trek. Gas monsters!!

hmmm incorporeal aliens? interesting...

 not energy beings but (going trek for a min) EM coalesced gaseous forms... able to alter the gas like "body" to different shapes and solidity the more solid the less movement and speed and the more weight

weakness would be reversed polarity EM fields or what ever.

Very neat designs, very retro and shows a possible lineage dating back to earlier spacecraft. :)

In respects to your Chimera Shuttle pack; on the pirate edition it has a portion of the model covering the RCS thrusters on the dorsal side of the port wing. Not sure if that is intentional or not, but it would 'interfere' with usage of those thrusters.

thank you :D

in regards to the Chimera Pirate... yes i think i adjusted its perfprmance to try and simulate the lack of thrusters there... but maybe then it would only be noticeable if you used the standard shuttle and compared its manoeuvring with the Pirate.

didnt work lol i wanted to try and make a cloud like model, make it transparent with a nebula effect and then have that texture animate as if the cloud was moving about.

i got working : model, transparency, nebula like cloud effect also transparent and thats it...

i tried using the animated tutorial by cordanilus and on my version of nifscope it wont let me alter the Niflip controller, the "target" text line was greyed out :(

hmm: also i just realised that when you shoot the "cloud" ship it will be damaged as per the damage texture... so on mine you'd have hull damage with sparking and flames... not really what youd see on cloud vessel lol.

back to drawing board again lol

Interesting.
