Though I doubt he/she made all the necessary things for life in space.

looks awesome I like how the bigger ship looks like a frigate in halo.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 5:55 pm

What elements would those be?

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:00 pm

Life support, comms, crew quarters, bridge, core room, power, weapon spots, storage,the list goes on.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:06 pm

There is a bridge, you can see it, it's right on top of the bigger cruiser. In the same section would be the comms area. Crew quarters are beneath the front section of the ship, and double as main storage area. The weapon section is the big bulky bit beneath the Bridge, as well as the frontal section, being the main cannon. ( In fact, since these ships were originally built for the zeppelin mod, they are already outfitted with regular minecraft cannons and dispensers )

There would be two core rooms, one for each main engine, which would supply power to the engines and the rest of the ship but really I got lazy and didnt build them, but they SHOULD be there...

There's even a Captain's quarters, several observation rooms, and really lots of free space to fit any systems I may have missed while building.

Here let me get you the download link so you can actually visit the cruiser:

brb in Edit

Uhm it seems I am unable to post links.... well just visit the minecraft forums Futurecraft thread, I've posted the download links in there.

Just to finish off my last swig of Hatorade, glass is a no-no in battle. Or space.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:29 pm

Once again, they were built for the Zeppelin mod, where you actually need to see where you're going.
(Even though it was finally a failure since a 10 500 block craft is too large for the zeppelin mod to fly )

So... for the purpose of Futurecraft, use the power of imagination to replace the glass with super resistant materials covered by energy shields, or just plain energy shields.

There are a lot of star gate references in this mod so remember the windows in the Pyramid ships which were actually shields...

Glass is not a problem in space. Because it is space glass.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:44 pm

Super space glass!

I understand the problem of using regular glass on a ship, but come on, building an entire ship without windows anywhere would be boring as hell.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:08 pm

So you hate all my ships....

Sad

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:11 pm

I wouldn't say that...

It's just... when I'm flying around in my planet-sized destroyer, I want to enjoy the scenery of enemy fleets being blown appart in the amazing void of space...

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:12 pm

Thats why the devs are adding video screens.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:15 pm

When video screens are added, I'll consider limiting windows.

But even then, you can't remove ALL windows.

What happens if your electronics are damaged in battle and you lose video feed? You're blind.

Plus, windows add detail from the outside and help claustrophobic people.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:16 pm

Well, kill all the claustrophobic people! Problem solved!

Plus.... 175th POST FOR THE WIN!

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:17 pm

But then who will you send on suicide missions and to pilot the cannon fodder craft?

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:18 pm

Thats HOW you kill them! tongue

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:25 pm

Seriously, why would claustrophobic people even go into space?

That'd just end up like Pandorum thousandfold.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:03 pm

The cruiser's been downloaded 28 times so far, people seem to like it.

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:14 pm

Well, I must admit, they do look nice.

My ship has no windows....

....due to the triple-hulled construction, redering it extremely tough/

Subject: Re: Pat Best's Ships Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:34 pm

I can have triple hull AND windows.

I win.
