....what?

I didn't use an ID on my ship, I haven't posted (or even thought of) the name of it yet. Even when I do get around to thinking of a name the prefix will be FCE, which is my right to use; but here you are complaining that the ship's ID is a troll (before I even posted it).



You're completely crazy!

I was talking about Error, not you. He just posted 'Imperial frigate' right out of the blue. Normally I'd just ignore something like that, but as I said there really wasn't a good reason to just go and add "Imperial" at all save for attempting to confirm your whole Empire shebang is still going on, which has led to not-so-good things in the past, particularly hardcore derailment. You got me?

Tiel, I. Was. Not. Trying. To. Be. A. Troll. Clear?

And mack, we had a Moment with me inadvertently trolling.


Ontopic: Ship looks good, one way of the other.

Right, I thought your posts were directed at me. Sorry.

Still, Error saying its an Imperial Frigate isn't really trolling, unless you are deeply offended by the comparison between the two ships.

Another picture of progress. I believe it is now a battle cruiser.

Very nice. Could be great for that ship-to-ship with enderpearls thingy-mah-whats-it.

Interesting prospect.

I'm thinking I'm going to build a very regular grid-like interior using mostly 10x10x5 room spaces, along with corridors. I could of course do my usual extremely confusing interior, but I'm going to try something new.

Cool ship.
if I ever were to build a RL space empire, I would employ you as ship designer.

Very good, I haven't noticed somebody that mastered the smaller wider style ships.

Why thank you! I have no idea how practical the ships would be IRL though, they'd probably fall apart or some-such.


And Caltech, I don't understand your post.

Like all the larger ships are really long but you have made a largish ship but never made it as long.

It will be once I'm done with it.

Guess what everybody, I have a new ship!

I'll possible do up a nice formal presentation of it later, but for now have some pictures:

And also this great picture of my battleship:

Spoiler:

The battleship looks very nice, the other ship looks rather familiar ... similar to Laserbilly's

I like the antennas, I had a couple in my original drawings but I didn't think they'd look good. Thanks for proving me wrong!

Also, the battleship looks great!
I took the liberty of cropping the image a bit.

the Banhammer should defiantly look like this:

That's an awesome space ship, but can you tell me how it would fit into Minecraft (keeping the same proportions) while still being a decent size?

I'm thinking on giving up on the battleship. You can't tell in that picture, but it is essentially a flying brick. The proportions are all wrong. I suppose that's what happens when you decided to wing it.

That ship is awesome Mackeroth, don't beat yourself up over flaws you think are there.

Oh, the flaws are there. I use detailing to cover how bad I am at building good ships. If I left the ship blank and featureless, you would probably throw up.

Here, this picture proves it's a flying brick:

Well, it's a pretty flying brick

And that's what matters.

don't worry, i'm no better....
and by the way, if you are now the schmetterling, then why are you posting on MACKEROTH'S construction log? :confusion:

Tiel wrote:

Thank you.

Still, pretty doesn't win wars. Awesomeness does.

For me, it is quite good at functionality.
It focuses a lot of weaponary on a relatively small ship while maintaining a quite compact hull and still being the Maceroth (Yes, I will keep calling you that way)-style with the SPIKES OF AWESOMENESS!!!

I'm forced to disagree there.

I don't believe Mack's ships would perform too well in standup fights without advanced shielding; they're more flying pieces of delicate art than armored battle-wagons.

Yep. But you know how I go on about how weak the hulls are in comparison to shields anyway.

Okay everyone, I've started work on my first super-dreadnought. Assuming I stick to the plan (and I do have one for once), it will be 1.5km long. So far I've done one of the engine covers; and it is 720 blocks long. Have a picture:





The astute among you may note that the engine in the picture isn't the right length. For some unknown reason, the end part of it didn't load, it is actually symmetrical.
