If I can give some advice or warning rather from what I learned/am learning while making ships. Be careful making ships with large wings unless you're prepared to make a custom shield that is fairly large. Most of the shields in game aren't too friendly with large side wings.
Good luck, making ships is really fun.
Ring runner makes plenty of references to famous sci-fi works, I even saw a spaceballs reference in there. Hell even the tool tip is a starfox shout out:
WARNING: Do not enter this ship if you think a barrel roll is a baked good.I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional.

There was one several pages earlier that could be linked to on how to make one, but I think there needs to be a refresher or something. Or a link.
It had something to do with turning the ship black and white, something about a laplace and turning the outline blue, removing the white bits, enhancing the outline and calling it a cloak image.

I'd love to have that link.

The laplace method is my own, but TaxiService's method is better. I think steamtex had his way of making cloak images too, but I don't remember exactly what it was.

Done with the flat colors, before I do the shading, & glows, I think the top circle piece is a bit bland, but I don't know what to put there.
