| Old stuff: - Spoiler:
The first ship I ever built was on my home server. It was a diplomatic ship (surprisingly). It looked horrible by my standards today. In the end, it was destroyed by a mining project, taking place directly underneath it. The second ship I built was also on this server. Then I transferred it to another world. Then another. Then another. And finally, it came to rest inside another ship. The ship was supposed to be a cruise ship (but was probably too big), and the ship that held it was supposed to be an assault ship (but was too small). The outside of this cruise ship looked horrible, but I liked the inside, it wasn't too bad. The cruiser Now, the assault ship was never finished, but I still have the world, so I could if I wanted to. The problem I had with it was finding ways to fill up all the space inside. Back then, it seemed that all of my ships had a large entrance area, with connecting rooms and stairs. It was, I must say, an interesting design technique that I didn't use on my most recent ships. Another interesting feature of this assault ship was that I used a railway system to get from one end of the 120 block long wing section to the other. The assault ship On this world, correctly named "Spaceships, bases, and stuff", there were two other ships: a frigate, and a cargo ship. Unfortunately, the frigate was destroyed in a nuclear explosion, but I never liked the look of it anyway. The cargo ship still stand (or floats, rather), and was my second good looking ship (the first being the assault ship). A view of my cargo ship, over the wing of the assault ship Next came a whale. A really big whale: made of metal, attempting to impersonate a dreadnought. It is true, I, with the help of a friend, built a dreadnought that looks like a giant whale. I didn't like the look from the outside, or the inside, but I did like the complex arrangement of Redstone that meant you could open every airlock, level, docking clamp, and bomb from the control room. Ingenious, really. I built a small ship on "World X". If you saw those pictures of the giant cavern, and futuristic garden on the Futurecraft page, that is World X. The ship was only the size of a Frigate (or even a drop-ship), but it was my first ship that could actually fly, thanks to the Zeppelin Mod. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in a glitch. I built the framework for an Ancient War ship, but due to Mod complications, the world committed suicide, and doesn't work. I still have the 1.5 meter long drawing for the framework though, if anyone is interested. I don't know whether this counts as a ship, but I built a space-station. It was one of my favourite constructions, but I did use MCedit heavily. Unfortunately, I lost the station in the 9km long bedrock plain it was in (there is also a high hance an ocean generated over the top of it).Two views of my station History of Alteran AerospaceEarly voyages and the founding of the Empire- Spoiler:
For the Alterans, year 1 was the invention of space-travel. The first time they passed Altera's atmosphere, the entire planet stopped in celebration. Within a hundred years, they had explored and set up colonies within their home system, Domum. Within 150 years, they were planning and building their first interstellar ships. In the year 159, they sent out 10 massive colony vessels, with the mission of establishing an Alteran presence on planets the deemed may be habitable. 5 of these ships were successful in establishing colonies. Within a thousand years, the fledgling empire had a network of over two dozen planets. The economy was booming, unrest was unheard of, and military unneeded. I haven't built any of the ships here yet, I will have several ships that are realistic and scientifically feasible with today's technology. This will be one of them: The Invention of The FTL Drive and The Knul War- Spoiler:
The year 2030 for the Alterans was a momentous one. For it was during this year that the once-thought-impossible procedure of achieving faster than light speeds was finally discovered. FTL engines could be made small enough to fit in a yacht, meaning that the Alterans no longer need to make massive, complicated, and fragile ships. They could now travel to the colonies in a matter of weeks, not years. Naturally, a spree of exploration followed. Designs on the FTL drive were improved, with it came advancements in shielding technologies and long-range communication and detection. But nothing can last forever. After thousands of years of peace, the invention of FTL caused war. The Alterans became divided between themselves. With all money being focused on expansive colonizing and exploration projects, the Empire overextended, and fell into recession. The working class of the Empire revolted against the rulers, seeing that they still lived comfortable lives, blaming them for the harsh conditions they now faced. Without the money to build warships, the Novians (as the working class's new military called themselves) used spies and guerrilla tactics to steel the Empire's ships. These are the main ships used in the Knul War: Terra Class Drop ship: - Spoiler:
Built by the Empire as a method of ferrying and landing troops, it was designed as a surface-to-space vehicle. It has no FTL drive of its own, and is instead carried or towed by larger ships. After the war, the Empire lost most records of it, and could no longer produce them (that means no download). Role: Troop ferrying Dimensions: 22(l) 14(w) 7(h) Armaments: 1x50mm railgun (10,000 bullet storage capacity) Compliment: 10x humanoid robotic pods, or 10x seats. Crew: 2 Speed: 10km/s (cruising) 50,000km/s (max)
Astral Class Frigate - Spoiler:
Designed by a company that usually produces private yachts, the Astral Class is possibly the most beautiful death-machine the Empire ever built. It's speed and maneuverability made it the prime ship for ambushes, and it was the center for many victories and many losses for both sides. Role: Quick-response and guerrilla warship Dimensions: 41(l) 19(w) 9(h) Armaments: 5x10gw laser turrets Compliment: none Crew: 2-3 Speed: 50km/s (cruising), 150,000km/s (max), x100 (FTL)
Copernicus Class Cruiser - Spoiler:
The Empire built this as an all-purpose fighting machine. While the ship may appear sleek on the outside, inside it is a cramped, bustling powerhouse. It could handle pretty much every situation that the Novians or Empire threw at it. It formed the back-bone of both navies. At times, it was used in ambushes, in others raids, in others still for planetary assault. Role: all-round Dimensions: 95(l) 29(w) 12(h) Armaments: 2x 50mm railgun (100,000 bullet storage capacity), 2x 10gw laser turrets, 1x torpedo tube (9 torpedo storage capacity), 6 bomb bays (54 bomb storage capacity) Compliment: 2x drone-type fighters Crew: 7-10 (usually Speed: 100km/s (cruising), 200,000km/s (max), x200 (FTL) Warning: updated OP ends here!- Spoiler:
My battle cruiser Part of my Dreadnought
Warning: updated OP ends here!- Spoiler:
Well folks, I have been building a lot! Currently in the works I have: An orbital satellite (interior pending) I have another topic for it. Somewhere... A drone carrier, similar in the "Mincar" (except all new and shiny, and bigger) (exterior mostly done, interior requires refurbishing comple re-do from Pat's old one.) Images will be shown on completion, maybe even a video. The drones for the drone carrier. Images pending... The shuttle for the drone carrier. A cargo ship (which Danice posted some pictures of to advertise his server). However, I have collected images for my shuttle, and will post them here: Exterior: - Spoiler:
Although it isn't the prettiest of my ships, it is a hard-working vessel. It can hold up to 20 people (16 passengers and 4 crew). It also has a specific dock in the top of the Drone Carrier (which you may recognize from the server). It has two class 1 lasers for defense, as well as a shield. Now for the interior: - Spoiler:

but I don´t know how to do this o why should I be nice (okay maybe cause he can ban me but you only life once) You are really starting to annoy me. You think you know all these things about the mod and about how it will work, but you can barely put a coherent sentence together. | |

| The fighter in the foreground, the entire city, or the massive ship in the center?
That will be big...
I want to see it when it is done, and make sure to use anvil on superflat. | |

| Wow big project ... Not only the ship's shape is quite complicated, but I guess that the ship's length will be like 800 blocks ! which also means that you don't have enough height in minecraft for that (you will need like 300 to keep the shape while you have only 127 available). You will need mods to make it possible. And I guess you are not going to fill it from inside right ?
Don't worry about that too much though, GIGAS is going to be like 1000 blocks in length to truely fit it's name. | |

| Okay, so the ship didn't turn out anywhere near what I expected it to, but I think you will find that it satisfies our orbital defence requirements. - Spoiler:

What do you mean? You can see it clearly. I suppose I did build it on my laptop though, which can't run far render distance. | |

Massive cannon with engines and a captain's seat? Close. Once it is complete (I have yet to do the interior) it will be the first fully automatic orbital defence satellite. It will be powered by a ZPM, and will feature the (massive) ion cannon, several fighters, a powerful shield, enough automatic turrets to take down a squadron, repair droids with enough spare materials to rebuild the entire station several times over (actually, maybe not...) a docking port and of course a sophisticated communications and sensor array. It will also be able to controlled from the planet or another ship. Well, if you have the access code. | |

| Maybe you could add accelerator cannon extensions to the sides, with stilts? Have them fire after the ion cannon in sequence, possibly. That would increase the power by quite a bit. | |
