Currently building massive capital ship

[callingindogs]

A few days ago I started building a massive ship and I felt like posting it on the fourms. Aestitically it's not superior in anyway but ones I get the product of it I'll make the outside look pretty going for function at the time
Currently I'm sitting at about 1.2m shields forget the recharge, 500m energy with about 1.5m recharge the ships sitting at 2.3km long and just over 500m high both are going to change most likely and the shields and such will be going up more greatly I just added for now incase of pirate attakcs. The main cannon will also be about 1.5km long (inspired by halo) hull plating is at the least 7 heavy hulls thick.

I\'ll have progress pictures when I get home from school today for you! Its still very early and only half the ship has a \"body\"

UPDATE: Now currently at 1.5m mass, Length remains at 2,271m, Height I made a mistake up top, it\'s currently 265m with a width of 209m. Shields have raised to 4.2m with a regen of 68k (seems low) Although I think that is what was nerfered right? Higher shield capacity but lower shield regen? Power is still just below 600m with a recharge of over 6m.

For the days update before I go to sleep. I\'m currently at a mass of 213,000, with dimensions still the same. The shields are now sitting at 7.7m with a 109k regen/s and the power is still at just below 500m with 7.5m power regen/s

You realise that this vessel will never be capable of being used on a server, right?

If that is the case (I\'m not sure, since I\'m completely unexperienced with the limits of large-scale combat), it still looks set to be an impressive and good-looking ship, imo, which is as much a part of the game as building a functional, highly efficient ship is. Of course, a combination of the two is nice :P

Last time i checked, vessels over 1 KM start tearing apart when entering new sectors, and at this size a single collision would crash the server.

As a bonus though, because of the blueprint cost cap, you would make a profit by buying, salvaging, then selling the ship.
