Actually I can help you, I just finished making my new ship the mantis that I will show later today

Okay, I will post the current section up, and you can help with the immense amount of detailing. In the meantime, I have had a good idea for the back...

Cool, so turrets or interiour?

Edit: time to find texture pack -___-

Please could you finish of the exterior, that is to say the giant engine section, use whatever techniques you deem necessary, do whatever you want to make it look good, but do not build past the big red line I set up. In front of that big red line is where I will be doing detailing on the front section, and starting the interior. Also, try not to build any interior for now, unless it is well away from the big red line.

If, or when, we get a server, hopefully we'll be able to put the Banhammer up so we can all work on it, the ship is going to need to be THE MOST AWESOME MINECRAFT CREATION EVER!

Blockman, you there?

yes, but my mcedit (and computer) cant handle the banhammer's schematic size. I am thinking of getting an alienware and maybe then I can actually help.

Wait a week. I'll put it on my map.

Why are we not using Iv's design for it? That was epic.

Thanks, maybe if I can get the M14x R2 I can import it -_____-.

I am using a 5 year old laptop, and it works fine.

And no, we're not using IV's design. While it was good, it wasn't what I started building. Unless we want to cancel this ship and start a new one, only keeping my turrets? Either way, once it's on the server we can REALLY get building.

I suggest a vote! I doubt you guys made THAT much progress on it so the best way to solve it is to hold a democratic poll! And I have not seen your turrets!

I am also hyped up on the syrup of twelve waffles so forgive my exclamation marks!!

Yes you have seen the turrets! They were on the previous page!

And here is a picture (old picture) to show you just how much progress I have made:

In my opinion you can cut this ship right here , and isn't the middle part taken from Laserbilly's ship to the right ?

You can't just "cut the ship there"! Think about how that would look! It just wouldn't work. That is why we need a proper engine segment, plus a large collection of wings/fins, for that added awesomeness effect.

Your ship is exactly in the right dimensions. If you continue making it longer it will look awkward . Put your engines inside the current segment. If you really want it longer you'll have to make it wider.

Yeah. Don't want a Bestine class clone, do we?

Imagine if I made the Banhammer proportional to the Bestine, how big it'd be...


Anyway, the engines are supposed to come out from the section at the very bottom of the photo.

Even this is a bit too long .

Why don't you you take the download, build the basic structure, and show me what you mean.

I can't , it's your ship. I just said that what we see on the map is the optimal size for your ship.

Okay. The Banhammer is meant to be a shared build. It is going to be the Futurecraft flag-ship, it needs to be good.

I think you should triple all the dimensions.

If we go with the crab-claw design (which I personally like), it will be 1.2 km long.

Oh. In that case, you'll need to quadruple them. At least. I though it was bigger than that.

Considering that around half of the hull will be made by hand (due it its curved shape, the "pincers" will be made by hand, and considering we need a good idea of how it will look, just building one then cloning and mirroring wouldn't work... this is too hard to get into right now...), I really wouldn't want anything much bigger. That sounds fairly small, but in Minecraft that is unbelievably massive.

Still, I would like the Banhammer to be able to contend with a ship like Elmo114's battle cruiser.

Where can I find pictures of Elmo's ships? I've been looking but cant seem to find anything. The Banhammer looks amazing so far, by the way.
