RELEASE LINK: It's here!
TURRETS: Dropbox
Hey guys! Ender here.
I'm starting work on an Executor remake. I'll be keeping to the model as much as I can, but I will be adding and subtracting some small details due to the limitations of Starmade. The ship will be combat capable in some sense - I've got plans for turrets covered by bubbles of blast doors, mounted on elevators. It will be interesting working out the engineering problems of the system at the very least.
The outer hull will probably be the easiest thing to build of the Executor-class, thanks to the wonders of copy paste. The true difficulty will lie in getting the hangar areas and primary turrets right. It actually surprised me how asymmetrical the interior of the ship is after researching further.
It will not be a full interior, mind you - I'm not that crazy :D The ship will still be primarily constructed of systems. However, I will be building the interior first, so as to give balance adjustments the longest time I can to catch up.
I based my measurements off many different sources, but the dimensions I decided to go with were as follows:
Length: 17.5km (700m)
Width: 6480m (260m)
Height: TBD (More citation needed for this)
This ship will probably take a few weeks to months to completely finish. I expect it will be quite difficult to spawn this ship on a server by conventional means, which is why I will attempt to simplify the design in any way that I can.
For those of you who play on the MFleet server, this ship WILL be kept within the rules so that it may still be spawned. I will release the shell (interior, exterior complete, and an updated power, thrust, shield, and jump system) when I am finished.
DISCLAIMER:
Due to the limitations of Starmade, I may have to make the ship slightly narrower than the aforementioned 260m. This remains to be seen, however - I may be able to shift the frame a bit
Smaller model version:
At some point I'll be putting a full interior on this little guy. For now, he's a decent salvager :D
