Those wings are a weakness: I send there a bomber squadron that will use those wings as cover and strike at your unprotected engines and core. They would be much more functional closer to the hull. Your ships are built for the looks .

That's what the fighters are for, my friend. And I have quite a few of them hiding in that ship. Although I will admit it's geared more towards taking on pure warships, a carrier will not last long against the constantly increasing firepower that's installed in that thing. I installed 6 more light cannons today, and I have 2 heavy ones primed to go in later this week. The best part is, none of them impact the aesthetic of the ship. At least, not until the breakaway panels....well....break away.

Yea yea yea cmon admit the wings are for aesthetics and that's it , there is nothing bad in that .

Well, I was originally planning to use them to hide fighters in, but then I realized that probably wouldn't work, so I made them bigger to protect against broadsides. Everything has some functionality to it; if I had wanted I could have added some abnormally shaped engine pods instead and had the ship look just as good

I didn't really think that's what you were implying, I was just commenting on how cool it was that everyone seems to have a different design for ships with similar functions. Also, did you ever get that PM I sent you a week or two back?

@blockman42

Thanks I put a good amount of time into my carrier and I'm happy that you and everyone else who has commented like it.

The reckoning class fleet carrier's shape from the top, and how fighters are released, reminds me of the Galactica from Battlestar Galactica. Did you get any inspiration from that?

I imagine if he did it would be using hangar pods...

Update the Ship Sizes chart with info on your carrier. What kind of ship will you build next?

Do I have PMs ??? I answered you .

I'm pretty sure I had drawn the original sketch for the carrier before I ever heard of BSG so I think the overall shape is mine. However, I definitely was influenced on the details like the fighter catapults and the ribbed turrets on the bow section. My original sketch just had an open vertical rectangle where the catapults are at and the hull had no ribbing with turrets on the top and bottom instead.

@stufuzzycat

Just hold your horses, I plan to update that in the next batch of uploads; which will probably come sometime tomorrow afternoon.

I'm not sure, but I think I've just been charged for accepting a complement....Which I'm pretty sure is an oxymoron.

I think You make a very good job designing big ships.
Hopefully I will ever be able to build such stuff....

Thank you, I appreciate you saying that.

S*** that things huge! I didn't quite realize it from the pics.

I know! It's such a pain to deal with! The best part is that I had to darken the original image using a photo editor before putting it in the graph! Also, I had to find a mod that extended my vision far enough to actually see the whole ship (the normal far setting only let me see about 80% of the ship).

so I'm guessing it's about 300 blocks long...one thing to try is backing up a bit since the FOV is conical, and resizing the pic using photoshop.

What, the carrier? No, it's 503 meters long (1 block = 1 meter). I used a mod called MC Enhanced View Mod which doubles the distance that you can see, however, it didn't remove the fog, so I'm stuck with the picture you see above.

try optifine there is a slider to increase view distance that goes beyond far and an option to remove fog

Thanks a lot! That might be just what I need!

Well, I'm not exactly overjoyed with how this one turned out, but it's as close as I could bring it to my sketches...So here's the Terran Trade Confederation's stock missile ship.

Spoiler:

I'll post more info/pics sometime soon (maybe sometime tomorrow, but more likely Thursday night). Enjoy?

I think it would look a little bit nicer of the whole ship was a bit flatter...

Hey that's his style , though I think if your bottom is identical to the top there is no need to show it.
