Pat's ships, Mackerothed!

So, some of you, Pat especially, may remember the first time when I saw Pat's ships, I criticized his design principles. This is proof that I was right: his ships, although detailed, are disproportionate, and rather bulbous, especially his largest cruiser.

What I did was cone his larger ship, sawed it in half (literally) and added in a good 30 blocks of length, and I think it looks a lot more balanced now. I changed the blue theme to crimson, but it looks about the same either way.


Oh, and Pat/anyone else: feel free to download my ships, in my construction log, and make them better. I welcome the criticism. I even give you permission to CLONE my version of Pat's cruiser, and improve on it yourself or blow it up, I don't care. But take your own clone, don't defile the original (my version).

I would love to see a collection of ships which all originated from the one cruiser, but all have different design tastes.


I have yet to do the interior, which I think could also use some improvement. Also, I set a warp to my version: "Mackeroth's". Pat's is at the spawn.

Have some pictures:

Very Nice! It is less bulky and excessive, making it more battle capable.

Thank you.

It would still be a pain to repair after a battle, as both Pat's and my ships are highly detailed.

than add "fix" option to the ship build block - like building from schematic files but replacing air only.

That won't work in survival, where we will actually be using our ships, once Futurecraft is released.

why ? It will relive us from allot of hard and boring work. I'm not saying it will happen free you have to have those blocks in order to use them and to make it even more real the blocks will be placed with time intervals so damaged ships won't join the battle like 30 mins after fleeing .

What is that star base in the background.

I hated the red, but I like the design. But now it's blue so all is well.

The server's main space station.

Its nice, but I like when people make there own ships not when they copy and paste parts of other people's... But, I like it

I prefer it when people can take someone else's design, and improve it. Like when (who was it?) took my dreadnought and "weaponized" it.

I might like to try an experiment about this...

Thank you.

Even I, when I zoomed back and look at it from the side almost started crying. I never even knew I could build that well, or anyone could for that matter.


Wow. I sound arrogant, don't I...

No, you sound...like someone that can most certainly rival BlockFortress in building. His stuff is kinda overrated anywho.

Yeah, it was.

Those were some much needed improvements, thank you.

I like the idea of what you've done to my ship, but there are a whole bunch of things I would have done differently in the execution.

Obviously, otherwise the title would've said: "Pat's Awesome Ships of Awesomeness Rebuilt to be More Awesome", and not "Pat's Ships Mackerothed)

Mac could you submit the biggest one for the signatures in schematics ?

There is only the one.

And it is one the server, can I take schematics from that?

If not, just clone it and take the pictures on the server.
