    the music was good till 1:22 after that was just crap.At first I was like "Crap!!! Fleet dispatch!!!! Kill it with fire!!!!" then when the piano started playing it suddenly became as menacing as a rainbow and I was like "oh...... never mind"

    I have to agree with @TwoNiner the music doesn't really fit.

    Besides that its an awesome ship.... and I.. I will never ever let abandoned turrets float in space again :O

    Yeah the music sounds like a really bad Nightcore track after 1:22.

    Nevertheless awesome ship showcase there.

    "Damn it Skype, I'm trying to be dramatic here!"

    It's a brilliant piece of work, Orphaniel. Although I'm not sure what the part at the beginning about lost turrets was there for... are you going to be doing a video series?

    I tried to find fittingly evil and menacing music, but nothing I had fit in very well, so I went with something nice and inspiring instead.

    and yes, curse that damn skype notification. Nvidia shadowplay doesn't always like recording certain programs, so I had it set to just grab the whole screen.

    The dimensions are numbers; its about 700m long.

    the thing about the ai and orphaned turrets is that it's supposed to be a huge AI titan, it has no decks, no bridge, just a huge internal AI core.

    EDITTE:

    Heres a few more pictures, because between youtube and windows movie maker the quality of the vid got shanked something fierce.


    The back


    The shooty end.


    Oee of the engines.


    Some parts.


    The underside


    The main gun and supporting structure


    Flank


    Lower Flank


    I think these are called Greebles? I always called it Kibble.


    Pipes!


    The top


    More complete top view


    More complete bottom view


    Internal space, such as it is.


    in profile.

    As you might notice I used ONLY black hull and red lights, there is a small section with a few gratings thrown on but that is all. This was an experiment of sorts about light and color and I'd say it was a success.

    EDITEDIT: I changed the music for tyou all, since mroe people commented on the choice of music than the ship itself. Youtube warns me the author of the track might show an ad.

    Nice concept, but for a ship that collects lost turrets. I would expect something more ... like an ork spacehulk. Do not missundeerstand the ship is marvellous. It does look cool and all but not like somthing that samples random space debris.

    Looking at the ship, I would think it is a society after the singularity. Or a AI race or somthing like that.

    The bit about orphaned AI turrets is just to say "hey, look at this big AI evil ship that's going to beat up all your planets". It does not literally scavenge them up and nurture them back to health :p

    @Orphaniel , you inspired me to make some shaped projectiles! Here is two plasma blobs thingies:



    The only thing I wish I could do is make the individual projectiles fatter... I'll have to try by using multiple weapon computers I guess :p

    I haven't the foggiest, honestly. They're slow-firing, long-range piercing, so it's probably not as high as it might be.
