I think I agree with mag - it's too difficult too even rate all the images and collect these into a total marking thing. Instead, there'll be a general impression at tht end who's was better and that'll be it.

Hmmmm, something I missed while I was away. Anyway, I'm changing the rules of the contest:
1 Karma point for each person who enters with the full 7 pictures.
Another Karma point for the winner.By order of Sundered Angel.

Yes! That makes it so much more worth my while
Although of course there's nothing to stop anyone who wants to from just stopping by and putting in 7 horrible pictures. Why don't you change it to "...enters with all 7 pictures with visible effort shown in their fabrication."?
------------------
"Once, just once, I'd like to be able to land somewhere and say, 'Behold, I am the Archangel Gabriel.'"
"I fail to see the humor in that situation, Doctor."

Well, I could. Or I could just warn the would-be cheater that I get really itchy about bad graphics.

True - "Anyone that spams the competition loses 2 karma" for a net loss of 1.

Hang in there fellas, it's going to be a looooong time before I submit my 7.

Hmm. I probably won't win, but I'll put some effort into making my beam media work and try to put up 7 battle scenes. I might get third
(out of four :sad: ).------------------

Do you lose status/points for submitting lots of images that all feature ships of the same race? I'm trying to incorporate this with actually doing something useful.
-
Well, I see no problem with seeing different ships of the same race. But the more ships you show, the more of your talent you showcase, remember. Every edge you can get is good...

Here are my next 2 entries, please give me your opinion, if not in words, then ratings.

I see you don't want to give your opinions in words or ratings.
I'm now inserting subsections clause C into the graphics contest:
If one member does enter 7 pictures into the contest for judging, and no challengers step forth with any other pictures, then regardless of judging outcome, he must win be default.

Well, I'd rate the Assault Carrier the same as the Corvette, and the other two a point lower on aesthetics. Overall, the Assault Carrier and Corvette get ratings of three, and the other two get overall ratings of two. And yes, I'm still using my rating scheme.

I find your rating scheme terribly amusing, but sadly, this contest is no place for joking.

As I said, I would rather make a definite ranking difference between a good ship and a great one than between a good ship and a bad one, especially since I don't expect any entries below the 'good' category.------------------

Ahh, but you see, those are great ships. If you are waiting for ships that are better, just let me tell you this: there won't be any.
Just out of interest, would you rate this:
3/10?
-
Going on just that one shot: 3/5 in textures and 4/5 in aesthetics, mostly because that shot doesn't show the thing off very well. It's poorly lit, and the texture looks much simpler than it really is. Going off of other shots I've seen of the same thing it would rate 5/5 in both categories.
Your images are good, but, imho, too cluttered. It's hard to see what the things actually look like. The textures are impressive, but the overall effect is to conceal the appearance of the ship, rather than accenting it. Again, better lighting might help.------------------
