| Under construction, pics will be posted soon Currently consists of: 8 or so minor dropships: (MiD-1 ironfish) - Spoiler:
4 major dropships/lite assault units: (MjD-2 porpoise) - Spoiler:
3 sub command/medium assault units (SCA-12 Mako) - Spoiler:
1 flagship : (HA/C-46 Beluga) - Spoiler:
the full fleet: - Spoiler:
Assault units are not assault ships, they are armed dropships, the sub-commands stand in for larger commanding ships these ships are designed to be easily mass produced This is only the MKI fleet ::new:: added a "pimped" version of the MiD-1, as a mercenaries ship - Spoiler:
(wool removed, replaced with retextured blocks, the green is glowstone, the red is redstone, you happy now?) added the M-73 "lobster" mining vessel (warning: ugly) - Spoiler:

| I actually like the designs but there's not enough color, and the ship with the big bulge under the bridge (cockpit? It's really round and too big) is a little ugly. If the bulge one mentioned before had longer wings, was longer with more space and had a smaller bridge, I'd be asking for the schematic.
EDIT: It's the one in the foreground of the major dropships photo. And now that I look, the one behind its wing in the same photo looks nice.

| finished the flagship
the designs origional, not really based on anything specifically, if anything loosely based on the form of marine mammal
the rear ship in the drophship shop was uncomplete at the time
the wings are meant to be more like fins, aerodynamics have no importance in space, however aesthetics do (i guess)

You're right, the fins (wings, etc.) won't serve any maneuverability purpose in space, but think about it: ships the size of the major dropships and less are going to have to enter the atmosphere, right? That's their purpose; delivering payloads from ship to shore, so to speak. A wing would help the vessel to maneuver in the atmosphere and allow it to glide down to earth if needed. And adding a wing would add a ton of possible mountpoints, and -- in the case of huge thick wings -- storage. Plus it would make them look coooooolio.

If you don't know what MCedit is, you can always upload the world save from yer %appdata%/.minecraft/saves directory. | |

Plus it would make them look coooooolio. pretty sure that the fins would be enough, look at the x-15, the first space shuttle, the wings were tiny, relative to the fuselage and main body, also in the larger ships the wings are hollow to a point, but wings do still look good, and they can work as landing gear, anhedral wings (what ive used) can also act as landing props. also this was built in a private SMP server | |

| Considering building a 3d minecraft reconstruction of a A-144R phalanx enforce fighter (ahh the good of days of the snes), good idea or not?
If you know what this ship is, you are awesome | |

| Woollen spaceships... For real men only
Solid wall? Too mainstream,
Plus obsidian isn't black enough
And I thought there were no nukes | |

And I thought there were no nukes Mack and Shiva are devs, so they can do whatever they please. They have also proclaimed a hatred of wool ships, and have vowed to eradicate them from the universe. So have I, but I am giving you warning, just get the colored steel mod, aka Futurecraft 0.0000000000000002 indev release | |

| I have coloured steel, but i build on a private server, woolly ship was an experiment, a budget option for the futuristic chav
i may just mod the texture for obsidian, or the texture and durability of wool, steel wool perhaps
i use black wool in place of carbon fibre, sounds better that way
or for pixel art (my classic shmup reconstructions) | |
