I've decided to create a seperate thread for my WIP titan, the AED Megantereon. To see other AED ships, click here: http://starmadedock.net/threads/adi...gantereon-1-million-tons-of-kitten-power.163/

Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.
-Main purpose will be of a mobile command centre/carrier;
-Two (three?) huge turrets below, two above, a couple dozen of medium turrets and lots of small point defense turrets all over the ship;
-Ability to carry at least 30 Jaguars, 40 tiny drones, 2-4 Cougars, maybe a few Caracals as well. Might add some external docking ports for larger cruisers/battleships/carriers;
-It'll be as slow as a tectonic plate, but will have a good jumpdrive, hopefully at 100%;
-Lightsaber-like blades out of lasers for ramming (also should look cool as hell);
-Once rotors are a thing, I'll try to add folding wings (as seen in the original concept);
-Extensive interior;
-Calculations revealed that the ship will contain more than 10,000,000 blocks. That's 1 million mass, 3 times heavier than the Blizzard;
-Current dimentions are at 1200m length, 479m width and at about 100m height (on the frontal part which is lower);
-Not sure about the weapon loadout, but I'll try to make the weapon blocks easily changable and accesible through buildmode (no messy weapon block layout);
-Landing gear, extending decorative VTOL atmospheric thrusters from the bottom of the hull. Yes, I hope to make it one of the biggest properly land-able ships in the game;
-As usual for AED and ASB designs, the ship will be focused on reliability and shielding.

Last few days I've been working on the engines as well as continuing the work on detailing. The area without thrusters on the side modules will be filled with atmospheric-like engines, and between the main engines there will be a hangar enterance. Guess what inspired the design of the largest thruster clusters :p
Work continues on the engines. I have finished the back hull that's behind the thrusters (It took way, WAY longer then you might think...) and added some small thrusters, too. I have tried to fit in a Cougar into the planned hangar area and it fitted perfectly with lots of room to spare, though I think there will only be two of them since they take up lots of space.
BONUS: Comparison shot between UNSC Infinity and the Megantereon.

After a two month break, I do some more detail work and start working on the interior. The ship will feature a rail cargo system allowing to easily move containers from cargo hold to the hangar or to eject to open space.
Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.
