Default Shipset designer types

Hey all, once upon a time I used to try my hand at POV-RAY and Moray but other than one or two moderate successes, I wasnt able to make anything that I liked (or anyone else, for that matter).
If anyone is interested in helping me out with a shipset, just say so
What I'm thinking of is a shipset with sleek metallic kind of ships, maybe ovoid like, or something. But if you have anyother good designs feel free to send them on over

You might want to try the DoGA program, it's pretty easy to make a decent looking shipset with it

I'd also be more than happy to give it a go - though I am a bit busy. Sleek, metallic and ovoid? What color? Wings? Bristling with guns?

What is the race like that uses them?

DoGA? Is it free? If not then I wont bother with it, I dont have money to spend on professional products, sadly

The Insatian empire is a collection of races, humans, and others, basically. Its a very technological empire, highly advanced and stuff.
I always had this idea in my head, like these sleek metallic ships, kinda like the Moncal cruisers in StarWars. But if you have any other designs or ideas feel free.

PS on't worry about the race pics, I have them.
I tried to make my own for a while, but Im not too artistic, and Moray is rather limited.

Instar:

Would you mind posting or E*Mailing the work you already did so I can see what you were thinking

I made an oviod ship (metallic blue), but I want to make a few other samples for you to choose from before posting. If you wind up liking them all, you could use some for transport class, carrier class or warship class.

Sure, I'll send what I have... believe me, I didnt like much of it. I think I deleted some of it, but I can find some.
I found what I think was some of my best
The medium transport is not too bad, I suppose, but its discontinous with my whole idea I guess. The heavy troop looks awesome IMO.
If anyone else wants to see say so.
