Darkwill, here. I'm looking to begin construction off what will be my new capital ship. I have included a layout of what it should be when finished. If anyone wishes to help build, just contact me at [email protected] View attachment 3325
I do not believe any single person has the resources or the capability to construct such a behemoth, let alone a single-person ship. It usually either takes a small team or a matter of years to construct even the smallest ship reliably, let alone a massive vessel such as that. Furthermore, if I recall correctly, you are not exactly an engineer, and last I saw you were interested in entering the plushie business. That would be a preferable option to something as, frankly unrealistic, as this. Unless you recently were appointed admiral of the Reilzurraut Armada or some such organization, I recommend against attempting this. -RayBeluga ((Just saying bro, before you go building a huge ship for your character you have to consider why your character would have that ship. I'm all for cool looking massive ships, ships are the best. But ICly, ya gotta have something that makes sense. Dont wanna ruin your day or anything ))
Regarding your concerns for whether I have the resources or not, lets just say I've found an interesting location to get scrap material from... Do I really need a ship this big? Probably not. But she will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine.... -Darkwill ((yeah, you're probably right, but its been her dream to be a captain of a large ship since she was practically a seedling...So it still won't stop her from trying. I mean, she came up with schematics for Kluex's sake! XD))
A color-coded diagram is not yet a spaceship, and scrap material is rarely feasible for FTL travel. - Volkov
Trust me, I found a good wreck and I'm collecting many good materials for the ship. It's FTL drive is only slightly damaged, though I'm looking to see if I can get the auto-repair module to work. And duh. Of course a piece of paper isn't a spaceship. But it is the beginnings of one... ((Also, something I just thought of. In game, it's canon to have a ship built quickly for you, when you upgrade tiers, that is. So I do see this as fully possible. I would supply the computer the required schematic/materials, and IC it would build itself.))
<posted via mä[email protected]> I doubt you could even get the crew together to get this ship moving...
Hey hey hey! If you need a builder, I could really use some pixels! I scratch your back, you scratch mine =) Sounds good right? I'm not good at the outlines and shit though. But interiors and furnishing? Bam. Look no further! Hit me up if you need the help, and if you've got the pixels to pay! - [email protected]
Finally, a user who doesn't want to tell me I can't. Didn't think that would ever happen. And that's perfect. Furnishing isn't one of my strong points. I'll let you know when I've got the frame completed. Thank you very much for your offer.
((Yeah. After the penguin building screen. It shows at least SOME time passed. Besides, that's just to cut time for the game. Who'd want to wait years for their tier 2 ship upgrade anyways?)) Buddy, you're way out of your league thinking a plucking monster behemoth like this can be built. I spent years out of the frontier building my new fighter, the Falchion. To build damn near planet sized giant? Damn crazy. Listen, pally. From a ship specialist to you. Scrap ain't gonna cut it. You're dreaming here. At least save up the money. And when you're ready? I'll humor you and try and build an engine. -Smokestack
Hello If you are looking for Specific Materials for building your starship IIS will be happy to sell you items.
"To your first point, who said it was even close to planet sized? Did I ever once say that? No sir, I did not. I can give you the approximate dimensions if requested, and you'll see it is a reasonable size, albeit bigger than a condor class cruiser. As to your second point, My discovery is more than scrap. I may have worded that incorrectly at first. Think of it more as a wreck. To your third point I completely agree, but hey, sometimes it all starts with a dream..." -Darkwill
"Indeed I will. You might best serve me by getting objects to furnish my ship. I'll require everything from chairs and tables to computer monitors. We can discuss the details of payment later, if you're up for it." -Darkwill
Exaggerations are a thing, pally. Just saying, with the amount that you want in it, it's gonna be big if it's gonna be comfortable. And with things like this, a wreck isn't going to cut it. I suggest selling the salvage and start saving for more quality metals. You wouldn't want a masterpiece that you spent shiploads on just collapsing on you. Just friendly warnings here. I breath ships. If you ever need anything like advice, engine building, or body work, I can help when its convenient. I sound cynical, but ships are fun enough to get involved. Enough from me, here's the Starnet page of my business. http://community.playstarboundrp.com/threads/smokes-auto-shop-services.8618/ Good luck. -Smokestack
I wouldn't recommend posting I cross-section picture of your ship on the starnet. If someone wants to attack you, they now know all weak points. ...Although I do like the layout. --Captain Bork
Thanks, I'll keep you in mind. That's the kind of post I can get behind. I'll admit, though the metal is good quality and most of it is still intact, its a hassle trying to reshape it to be fully useable. I may have to take your advice afterall! "Well, you assume this thing wont have defenses. And know that I am aware of these weak points. I'll let you put two and two together there..." -Darkwill
Dear readers. Due to the skewed amount of criticism I've gotten over the project, I have decided to cease its development. It's hard to have a dream when everyone keeps telling you you can't. Though I'd love to one day command a battlecruiser, I guess it's just not meant to be. Perhaps I'll stop wearing my armor and pretending I can fit in with other races as well... Anyway, sorry I even posted this. Didn't think it'd get too much hate... that's what I get for assuming innovation and bold decisions would win out over boring vanilla ideas. Sorrowfully yours, Darkwill P.S. Translation to my native race, "Floran issss ssssad now."
