Basically, the main idea was to create an "spawnable" city, to allow factions to easily expand, we started to think about heavy turret to defend the station, and throught the build, the city became a mobile space station, and even later it became a ship, an heavily defended and extremely powerfull battlecruiser, who literraly carying a pre-build city on his back.

Of course the final design is a lot "starwarsish" (we even add a throne room in the dome...).

The name's also a reference to Star Wars, Black Cloud, because it's a black cloud wearing a city ,you know Bespin, cloud city, Empire Strike Back? and now than I'm writing this, it appear to me than my ship look a lot like the Super Star Destroyer who make it first appearance in TESB...

Anyway, enjoy it, and fly safe! =D

[JTJSniperBee]

how do you tell a ships class?

 

[Gaeus]

It\'s more about another ship it look like ;-)

 

[Iced_Coffee]

unless you wanted to make the super star destroyer with a city on the top hulll, I cant see a city! unless you mean inside. Also, the best ship Ive seen by far.

 

[FlyingDebris]

loss of your index finger. :P Excellent ship.

This looks very similar to an Eclipse Class Super Star Destroyer. Only a few parts are missing/different. Good job!

The ship is divided in two main level (except the hangars bays and the bridge of course), the first level is basically the military level, quarter, core room, turret access.

The second level contain the city, who continue on the top hull.
