Here's a little teaser of the TTC's next ship. I'll add some more photos for the Repercussion and this new one soon.

Spoiler:

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's the bow...

Okay, at this scale you MUST have more detail. Interesting shape, how did you make it?

One, it's a teaser...and two, WITH SCIENCE!!!

Billy, how did you make the size comparison charts and the blueprints? I would like to do those with my own ships, and Gimp isn't being helpful. I have Photoshop on the other computer, but it is an inconvenience to turn on and doesn't have internet.

Also, could we have pictures of the rest of the interiors of your ships: The Reckoning in particular, I want to see the generator on that thing. I went through the pictures of your first "Light Destroyer", while the outside is okay, the inside is amazing: I like what you did with the power systems (although that did take up a lot of space in the ship), and have done something similar, if not more fancy and less awesome in my ship. Have a look in my build-log for a full mechanics view.

Mackeroth ask him for a schematic of The Reckoning in a pm. It is pretty awesome.

Unfortunately, because the Reckoning was so big, I had forgo doing some of the more obvious interiors (like the engine, barracks, and mess) just did fun stuff (fighter bay and the bridge). But it you want to see it or one of my other ships first hand, just ask and I'll pm the links to you.

I didn't want to really show you guys until it was complete, but since I said I'd have more for you; here's another photo until I can finish the interiors as much as I want them done.

Spoiler:

Like IV and many other great builders before me, I have decided to put down more permanent roots and build a space station. You see, I was being misleading when I called it "my next ship." More photos to come.

Hehe that's a cool looking space station . My station is small and sort of empty , surely not as good as this . I should try to make a new one.

First of all, WHOOPS I bought Mass Effect 3.

Second, awesome space station. I was thinking of doing one too, before buying the afformentioned game. Kind of sucks because I bought a used one so I can't play multiplayer. Stupid EA and their online passes... Not that I don't like BF3 and ME3...

Yes please! I might even build some more ships in your style: would a shared project of a dreadnought be possible? I would also like to use the texture pack, as would many others: could you give us a link?

If you need to finish the interiors of the larger ships, I would love to.

That begs the question...what is there to add? Living quarters, obviously. But where would those guys go in such a big ship that's supposed to be cramped? All that machinery means almost everything's automated, so..

5000 posts in the shipyard. Guess who got lucky? TIEL!

Tiel, he said that most of the main systems still needed building. Therefore, I will build them as well.

I've stumbled across a way of making space stations that has exciting potential! So I've postponed all my other projects for this one.

Seems like everyone is making space stations . I'll post mine when I'm done with the fighter bay ... I'll need to install optifine and put visibility on extreme to take screenshots of that thing ...

It seems like you base your station on a bold geometric shape like I did with my first station , wasn't the best of my creations so you may want to rethink your approach and go for something less geometric.

I built mine by hand, But it's not that large. I'm going to make a sleeker, bigger one soon. Using MCEdit or WorldEdit, probably MCEdit. Space Stations are fairly unheard of being made in minecraft, so it makes it hard to figure how to make a good one. Also, not the best at MCEdit, so yeah...

I know that it's not the best looking design for a space station, but I'm trying to stick with the whole "Terran Trade Confederation" theme...And if you've seen any of my other TTC ships, you'll probably see the "bold geometric shape" theme prominent in all of them too .

I'm not rejecting you're advice, I just want to stick to the whole sparten, unpainted, warship-like look for my builds at the moment.

To be honest, my favorite station so is this one:

Also, it still doesn't look too bad from above:

Is there any Way to get your Texture Pack with the modifications you made?

Unless he started with a base Texturepack, which I think he did, sadly, no. But I think it's an edited version of Duertos 32x32.

Sure, I'll put my texture pack at the bottom of my OP (under ship classes). But be forewarned, it's a 128x128 pixel texture pack! I am currently working to bring it down to 16x16, but I have to replace A LOT because the images just don't look anything like their 128 sized brothers....

Ooh, I will totally use it if you can bring it down to 16x, or even 32x.

Donesn't anything above 64x64 require GLSL shaders? If the 128 works with Optifine I'll use that...

Wow, that actually took a minute to download. Doku, even with mod support, was near instant...

Thanks, Laser

P.S. can I use this text. pack for building ships which I will Post?
That would be nice

Sure! And if anyone ask about it, just direct them here.

Really? It took me 14 minutes to download. But it's a great texture pack, if not a bit too primitive for my regular ships.
