Okay, I’ll try to be more clear.

   The color scheme is: primarily white plus greyscale (white, grey, dark grey, black)

That, in itself, is the problem. Having white, gray, dark gray AND black on one small ship makes it look crowded.

   Red canopy

If the entire ship was only while with black engines, then trans-red would look fine, but with grayscale it just adds to the confusion.

   ...and then tiny details that are supposed to stand out:
- black/yellow danger stripes on the landing gear
- antifreeze gun tips



It sounds like you don’t even like the basic color scheme (greyscale plus red glass). Or is it the addition of the yellow and antifreeze that puts it over the edge?

It’s the grayscale I don’t like. White/black works, as does gray/dark gray, white/dark gray, black/gray etc...but not all of them together.

   And in related news, I do already have another color variant that I just posted: http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=32283. Hm... it happens to have off-color danger stripes, too...


This ship is a great improvement, IMHO. The simple yellow/gray colors look very good together and the other colors (red/white/chrome) do not distract.

Hope this helps,
