For making curved plates Id say a lot of it is experimentation, but an easy way to toy around with it is start with a very elongated triangle block on its side (mirroring helps as it'll come to a point eventually like mine do)
Basically knock off the same number of length. Say you're using a 20 x 1 x 1 triangle/edge block. Each block forward knock off like 2 or 4 to its length and you get these really nice curves.
IE
20x1x1
16x1x1
12x1x1
8x1x1
its hard to showcase sadly but it wont be a perfect circle, instead you'll get these nice wedge/sharp shapes.
One question as a new player: do you have any guide to recommend to learn to make designs like this? Making curved parts to me is still impossible >.<
@Haurbus: So I checked out a few of your ships a few days ago after looking up the highest rated/most subbed mods on Avorion's Workshop. Now I've switched to looking up the mod catalogues of individual creators, to check out some of their other work which may not be so high rated because it's newer or less well known.
And I've just discovered some of the absolute STUNNING stuff you've been releasing in the last few months, such as this and the Acropolis class. Dude, these ships look spectacular! Their smooth design cues, and discerning use of neon, look so darn good! I gotta say, imo these are some of the best looking ships on the Workshop right now, awesome work!
Hey Bushman82. I colour code the framework/Mesh not for specific blocks, but to just give distinction between them when viewing. It's really hard to see how much framework is on a ship when they're all grey kind of blurring together so I make them distinct colours just for spotting them easier.
I don't have(usually) any configurations in mind aside from largest framework in some ships being cargo on RIA ships. I usually will build 1 really large framework for cargo containers to get the most efficiency out of them if the ship doesn't have a cargo bay to start, or for upgrades.
Also i subbed to another collection of yours and half the ships have old in their title, do they still work or should i remove them?
Cheers man, these ships really helped me learn this game.
