Prototype fleet MKII

That looks good .

All I can say is you have a severe case of Santisma Trinidad going on there :-P

I have no idea what that is, but yes I probably do.

Also I have just counted the guns, there are exactly 115 guns on the ship.

I like your ship designs

In the first (top-down) picture, it was the best ship I've ever seen. Sadly, it didn't stay that way when you went to the other views, the guns became too flimsy, the colours clashing, and the design just fell apart. I suggest you take that top-down view, and rebuild the ship around it.

I agree with the colours clashing, im currently editing my texture pack to give a better array of decent colours, however the guns don't seem to be as much of a problem from my perspective, I tried using bigger side mounted guns, but it looked like they had really been crammed in, and it looked ok from top down, but from any other angle it just looked like everything had been crammed in, so I changed the gun barrels from 3 block width to 1 block.

Making something big:

first picture of the WIP ship:


so far only the engine chassis done, and its about 400 blocks long.

Alright! enter the BIG SHIPS!!!

Started working on the detailing for the top of the engine covers



I plan for the entire ship to be as close to 2km as I can get whilst retaining my sanity

I love the detailing. Absolutely amazing. However, it is a flying brick. That needs some work.

The brickyness will be eliminated by the side details, which will come after the top detailing.
Thinking on putting huge half hexagons on the sides and mounting big cannons on them, in a similar style to what I did to the blue to turn it into the Extinctor.

working on making fin like structures on the back which i will put maneuveuring thrusters on

Those fins won't compensate for the fact the fuselage is essentially a big brick. At least not now, anyway. Needs more big.

This ship is way too noisy, you need to use less colors...

yeah, it looks like some child painted it with neon colours.
No offense, but it´s true.
There is no chance anyone will actually buy this if you keep colouring it that way.

Also, don´t listen to Tiel, you can make the fins do something against the b4rick look, just don´t make them flat, but more like the "fins" of a Venator-class Star Destroyer,
Starting at the top and going down to the bottom.

Spoiler:

I don't mind all the colours. I don't LIKE them, but I don't mind them. What I don't like however are the stripes on the fins, they are just ugly.

Due to the fact that is I try to put something on the fins, it just looks even more ridiculous, i've wiped the design on the fins, built stuff on top, and designed from there

This is what they look like so far, if this design is good, I will mirror it onto the other wing


however I have no plans to change the colours on top of the actual engine, for I plan to have several different pathways of wiring and such, which will be colour coded by gold, diamond an emerald blocks

What I've done in terms of the basic chassis of the rear half of the main body

Spoiler:

Looks like a venator star wars cruiser.

Man oh man! That badboy is big! What's the length so far, about 1 km?

A map is 1024x1024, so it's a bit less than that. A very big ship.

It seems that all of a sudden, distances in Minecraft have shrunk. My 750 block long battlercruiser seems small...?

And that's just over halfway (adding huge bits on the sides, and about 750m onto the front for the carrier section, then about 150-200 m for the bridge

The detail is going to take months

added the basic frame of the front end of the main body, the ship is now at a fraction under 1.7km (1.684km)
the thrusters and rear main body


The main body + the new wing parts



overall design is halfway between an arrow and an anti-air missile, only waaaay bigger

bridge currently under construction

No. It's like the Bestine class, but with wings and an engine.

Bestine-class has engines. Lots of engines, in fact.

What I meant is that this ship has a BIG engine section.
