Superninjakiwi is BACK!!!!!!!!!

So, since every other forum I've seen is down, I'm assuming that this is the current forum.

So, here are my ships.

Pillars:

Got any suggestions? Put them in the comments!
More on the way.

Yeah. Tiel killed the new forum, so we're back here until fr0st puts up a new new forum.

Well that's a tube ...

Hey, Luna was going to make a giant tube of doom already!
...I suppose it was going to be a heavily reinforced ramming ship tough...

Mine is a SMALL tube of lesser doom. It doesn't really CAUSE doom persay, it simply helps doom not die. I still haven't made doom yet though, it's huge and taking forever. I would make some Pernese ships, except that they're just dragons in spacesuits, with people on top.

Also, these lasers are rather weak lasers, their only real purpose is to stop fighters with little armor, and it's not really all that likely to hit since it can't turn well.

No I pointed out it's a tube to say that this shape is too generic, It's hard to call it a ship you really invested your time in.

I don't have much time to invest. Also, as you may remember i have to build everything by block, so things that take up most of the time i have left, before minecraft runs out of memory and bluescreens my comp, i call a worthy investment. Not that that's happened in a while, but i keep to 30 minutes a day to be safe...

Also, they were meant to represent the obsidian obelisks in the End, which is why they are tubes. i have a much more creative idea for the dragon, which no one will be able to guess most likely, but again, that takes time. i don't even have the frame finished, i thought i'd take a break and make this. i'll give out a preview when i've finished the frame, but until then this is what's there.

Oi! What have I said about function!

That’s not even 30 minutes , I'd bet on 5 to 10 minutes at best, by hand. Im just saying if you don't invest your time and plan your ship it will just end up looking bad, and considering nothing is ready yet engine wise the only reason we build ships right now is for them to look cool, saying "It should be functional" is NOT an excuse. It is really better invest 30 minutes than waste 10.

It is a real shame there are no good looking ships made anymore, yes not everyone has it in him initially but so long you try you improve and get a better sense of what is done right or not, the problem is most of you are stuck on tubes or borg cubes and refuse to progress, trying to find different excuses for it.

Kiwi which mod are you using? I thought the laser mod is dead!
Can you post a link?
Also your ship needs a few more details, but the idea of having a modular design is nice.

It looks like electromagnetic contractors from Resonant Induction.

The thing is I would build ship if I didn't suck at it.
I have Idea's I just suck at putting them together.

You are right, i was being lax and trying to hurry this, when i think about Julo's comment, it makes me realize that i could have very easily added things that would improve the Aesthetic qualities. And no, i didn't spend 30 minutes on it, i spent about 5 looking for a mod with lasers, and about 5 building the ship. the rest of the time was spent on my massive spaceship, the Dragon, which i thought i made clear was my main priority.

Yup.

This is what i needed to hear. i can add things on the outside, and not make it so barren, but modular IS my style. i usually build with the interior in mid rather than the exterior. With the dragon, i'm building it big enough that i won't have to compromise either, but with something this small it was hard for me to think of anything except what was needed.

Yes, my ship is fully functional, except for the fact that it cannot move. It has an air supply, a source of energy, and weapons. i am also thinking about packing in a food system, but theres not much room left after packing leaves into the interior of the ship. I am using galacticraft, which means that if i don't have an air supply then it's a useless ship, unless it's going to return to the mothership every 15 minutes.

Miiiiiiner setback, i live in colorado and my old computer got fried during the storm. No biggie, just a bit saddening, lost all my worlds. Fixed it after a bit by re-installing the system though, so not a permanent problem.
