    I understand that this is incomplete, but I'm not too big of a fan of this ship. I mean stats are decent at least, yes, but the overall looks of it seem a bit off. I understand that the things I made recently aren't necessarily beautiful either, but they are all WIP as long as I have ideas flowing to improve their appearance.

    Less about me, onto the ship. The engines are a bit bland, I feel like something more could be done with the lava in order to give more of a visual effect where it looks like it's actually spitting stuff out to thrust the ship. On top of that the overall shape of it makes it look like a space disk. The rear docks don't exactly seem too practical either since it looks like you'll have to fly forward in order to effectively launch those ships. Either that or you'll have to very carefully maneuver in order to give those ships enough space to fly out the portion with the door. Finally comes the things that are docked to it. What are those? Fillers? If those came with the ship then I wouldn't think of downloading it at all because they look like tubes with wings. Finally, it seems as though there is little detail, though I understand that you said you were planning on working on details so I'll give some leeway there.

    Yes, it is incomplete. I have currently adjusted the docking controls and have added detail to the top of the ship along with more power gen and thrust. The ships that you see docked on top of the ship are drones and are composed of only functional parts to save on the ships overall cost due to the fact that if I launch them they will most likely fly to far from the ship to where they cannot be found since they are in a sense tanks when it comes to drone shielding. The small out of place ships docked on the sides were accidentally saved to the blueprint because i forgot to take them out before i saved the ship to a blueprint file and uploaded it to the site. The dock in the back still remains and is no longer "out of place" in the design. The ships docked in the back are not drones but are "runabouts" meaning that they are transport shuttles off of the ship and are connected to the ship eject system for the main ships pilot to release them in case of an emergency. As for the engines, lava does not stay one specific color which is why i used crystals instead, and until schema implements a form of comparator for thrust, i will not change the engines to show thrust in the mean time. As for the overall shape, i am working on adding "plates" to the bottom hull to:
    1. - add more volume
    2. - add detail
    3. - adjust the shape of the ship
    (originally the design was to resemble a cross between an aircraft carrier and the bomber from the movie Avatar.)

    Overall, this ship WILL be dramatically improved and eventually posted on a separate build while this one will be renamed to include "prototype" in its name when i am finished with the overhaul. Plus, this is my first ship of this size, so anyone else who wants to be redundant and give me the same advice/criticism, be my guest, because they will only make more of a fool out of themselves.
    Honestly, beyond stats, and general shape, this thing is really ugly. There is very little detail, the t entire top is flatter than a pancake, and that giant hanger looks so out of place in the rear. I will say the docking lights look decent and the engines aren't too bad however.

    Your attitude gives you 0 points either. You posted this publicly with a download link, instead of in the shipyard. You have therefore consented to others using the ship online however they wish.

    So for a summary, I think the concept was decent, but the execution was not great in most places. Your attitude could improve and I dont think you can really do anything legally online that you have threatened, seeing as if you did have a father with some job position (Obviously you reference to either CEO, Lawyer, or cop), you would know very well that unless their rights or legal rights are infringed, you can't do anything.

    That is my review.

    The V1 is just built for functionality and not much for beauty. I am currently working on decorating it. And thanks for the suggestions.

    I did take down the warning statement because of so many comments on it. But if I ever load this on any server, then don't mess with me or i will tear your entire fleet to shreds. (this is to everybody)
    Nice ship, i WILL mess with you, don't challenge me, bla bla bla, regret it, bla bla bla, i am such a tough guy rawr, bla bla bla.
    PS, NEVER tell 'muricans what not to do, di dyou see what happened with the interview? now everyone wants to see it since N. Korea said no, so tell us you dont care and we will do nothing. bye

    due to the fact that i put a lot of time into this build i didn't want any plagiarism of it

    PS. I am an american, and I can afford a lawyer if anyone does plagiarize my upload
    Detail could be better. The attached system ships and overall internet tough guy persona is a big negative factor. I'm going to use it as mine in whatever server I please and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Good day.

    I was planning on uploading a detailed version later

    PS. i just don't want others posting it on another site as their own creation. Oh, and there are only certain things I CAN say online due to my father's job position, so no it wasn't just an act.
