Alliance art style
ShadedExalt:
The Corsair is really cool, but doesn't fit the art style very well. Balloons should be bigger all around, except the Magnate, which should have some of those orbs consolidated.
Echoez:
I personally enjoy the variety in the art style, despite some of the more outrageous designs (the Shrike is a bit too feather covered..)
The contrast between the PvP mercenary ships and actual faction ships is very visible and proper if you ask me. It wouldn't make sense for the Barony ships to look rusty and put together from scraps, just like it wouldn't make sense for an Arashi ship to look pretty and solid with vibrant red paint on it. It all depents on how they go forward with them from now on.
Nailing the distinction between the various factions is the most important bit for me and I think they did it so far. I kinda wish we would get faction-styled regular ships as well. We got a lot of big warships, hoping to see some smaller faction ships as well, probably similarly designed to the PvE enemies.
Also I want that Maxim-machinegun Gatling the bots have, can I has?
Naoura:
Only after we finally get the Hotchkiss gun after the eternity it was suggested from.

The worst part of the shrike is definitely the balloon. Have any of you just stared at it for a while? Its balloon is so comically small, I just can't look at it without face palming.
The feathers probably wouldn't look so ridiculous if it had a balloon to match their size, like the concept art .
I can't fathom why lord tim went so far from the source material.

^That's an axil :P but this does bring up some fun conversations. I think to understand the art style you need to understand the faction. The goi website has some decent faction summaries you should check out here http://gunsoficarus.com/world/factions/ (I have read through all of the lore I could find for work on a... Side project 8)) the whole thing with Angela is that they are super advanced, and since alliance is the new wave of ships the factions have come out with, it makes since that Angela has the most technologically advanced. I would stil argue that the Angela is deiseloun I and not deco, judging that diesel is during a war such as this one and there just aren't as many reference images that matched with deco for me. With corsairs and the Titan by their side, the anglean republic shall rule the skies of firnfield! As for Chaladon, I agree a bit the feathers are sometimes a bit much. Their faction is a nut job though, they will slaughter villages if their balance is not fulfilled. Crusader is wonderful, glad someone else thought it looked like a train ;D I always have mine named "mobula train." keep your eyes peeled for the bonefish too! It's kinda a rumor right now but it's somewhere out there. Maybe implemented soon?
