Thank you so much guys. I have a frigate that is nearing completion, as for a true capital ship, that may be quite some ways off, but I will update this page with every new design.

Dang. Lots of helpful tips here. For my pirate hunter I will go for a mass of rapid firing guns. But the turret turtle got me thinking and I will try to make one in the future using your tips. I was also unaware of the single power generator on the turret, I was unaware of the need for it...

First off I just wanted to thank Rumcajz for being an overwhelming source of inspiration, I have borrowed so many elements from their designs, and it would be an injustice to not point them out. Moving on. My first design is the Sovereignty (still more fluff to write up). Class: Deep Space...

teoboxteo, thats a big gun! What\'s you\'re mining speed? I can clear a space station from all it\'s plex glass in under 1 minute. Since this is a mining ship, thats my primary concern.... Here is the start of the background for the ship: The Sovereignty class mining ship is one of the oldest...

Thanks for taking the time to set this up, lots of great ideas here! :)

I was thinking of snaking the AMCs thoughout the ship and having the shots fired from single points at the from of the ship, is that a more efficient way of using your power?

What I have been calling checker board, the community is calling shot gun.... thank you. One question down :)

Well after nearly a week long build on a nearly 3K mass mining ship I want to turn my focus towards something a bit smaller and with pirate hunting in mind. So I am setting out with a 1.5K mass maximum. I wanted this ship to be centered around 2 or 4 powerful cannons. Is the checker board, or...

Oh dang, you win the internet! Was this done all in game, or do people imprt 3D files somehow, it\'s a stunning ship so far!

Good advice guys, thank you. My recovery for shields is 2 seconds, right now, so I will add until I hit 3 and then remove one and see what that does. Also for the 1:2 mass to thrusters ratio looks like I need a bit more punch. I hear you with the removal of the guns, but I had a lot of fun...

To test out the platform (remember, she is not a military vessel) I attacked a pirate station, I suffered light damage to the nose (maybe 12-15 blocks) after my shields were shut down. Not sure if they got overloaded or I lost power, but my cannons and thrusters were both working so I think I...

But these are for combat vessels, what about my 2400 mass mining ship?

Edited OP for energy per second: It\'s 231K e/sec. When laying down on the thrusters my last two bars fluctuate a bit, while flying and holding down my cannons the last 5-7 bars fluctuate.

I will take some screen shots today, so I should run power tanks over generators at this point?

I have spent my time building myfrst serious ship, and it's nearing it's end. It's a serious mining platform, but that doesnt mean I don't want it to function without form. I have spent a lot of time tooling it up and making it look the part, but before I call it finished I want to check with...

I was so inspired by your ships I have begun modeling my mining vessel off the same style.
