I think the other useful thing is making the interior brick not get right to the edges of your exterior. One thing I learned from examining some really nice builds is that the internal space is quite small, giving them room for systems, but also allowing them to design more shapes. You can see...

Actually, I don't have a set approach to ship building. Some I've done from the inside, and some I've done the other way around. This fleet is usefully, all quite brick shaped, but I've also got the benefit of this being the 5th in the series, therefore I know her general outline. I did a sort...

I had already decided when I did the stairs up, that you go up then you either go aft, in which case you are in the systems and command section, as with all the other ship top decks, or you go to the fore section, in which case you enter the 'hospital' section. There were some key changes in...

As we move into the upper deck, I haven't yet determined the floor layout, but I know every corridor bit I build needs to have other, non power, systems in all the gaps, and I fill as I go, so upper deck it's shields, shield rechargers and thrusters. Lower deck it will be warp drive and...

zzzz.. That was a lot of corridor and power to lay... 15.5m, so the life support machines won't run out of juice! Now that I have the internals complete for the mid deck, I can only use one plane of symmetry rather than adding the roof and floor at the same time. Ho hum!

Now, you can see I've added much more power stuff, as I've worked my way through some central rooms and going back. Made quick space for the stairs/slide to the lower deck, then the faction room, entrance to crew cabins, toilets, medical offices, showers and then two emergency transporter rooms...

Having done the walkway layout with the single block, I then start from the middle adding wedges to the corridors and the occasional light block. Some of the areas have decoration, for example pipes in the core room. Next, I fill in all the 'gaps' the corridors are leaving, with systems. The...

Theats, as I have one more ship to build, I thought I'd post some in-flight early stages, also helpful for those considering building from the inside out. Now, I have a bit of an advantage, because I have already built four ships, so I know the sort of components I am needing. What I've done...

Well I'm glad, since that was the intention. I don't have any amazing logic on any of my ships. I have cargo bay doors which swing open and closed, and the Stobart has a series of yellow and green lights, and one of the pairs turns yellow, and moves down the chain. Otherwise it's just power...

Still been working on this lot, despite possible non entry..

Ice wedges would be AWESOME.... Bravo MitrhrilJelly. :)

Well, it's better you spotted it. At least if I don't get time to do a different submission fleet, I can add notes to the effectof "we spotted it was a copy" :) I'm just impressed I can remember the design of a ship I haven't seen in 19 years. :)

Do a search on google for "Fifth element navy ship" and you'll find it... It's almost exactly the same. No way anyone looking at the two would think I hadn't copied it.

Just seeing if steam links nicely... The interior-built-first corvette chassis will have two different versions once we get to the outer bits.

I believe her longest dimension is 104m. I usually build quite small ships. Titan's seem like so much effort. :) My thanks. I was pleasantly surprised myself. :) Still have some gaps inside to fill with systems, and 4 more turrets to add, but I'm more pleased with her than I'd intended. Am...

Uhm, so I had an idea for a tiny little AMS turret platform. A small ship with 16 AMS turrets to act as a fleet escort, I was going to make three to protect everything else I built but since I started from the inside I made it a bit big... And a bit more decent than I meant to. Might now make...

Is anyone else on Steam getting an issue where you can hit "Start Game" from the launcher, and then it says "running" for 20 seconds then just... stops? Doubt this is an in game problem. Encountered this morning only, after trying to retrofit to an older version as my server hadn't updated yet...

Well, there was an unfortunate incident this evening where somehow the 'protection' setting got switched off and the server's pirate fleet turned up. Turns out this pirate fleet has capital ships... This is all that's left of my two utility ships, and the poor Admin's carrier got torn to...

Given this ship a bigger brother.
