    This carrier is built entirely out of bought or salvaged blocks (mainly pirate bases. Lots and lots of pirate bases). The design is random. It is taking forever to build and I'm not sure if it will ever be finished. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I started this, so needless to say it has flaws, and it's ugly! No weapons yet, but like a true carrier I plan on adding only defensive turrets, so that will happen once the hull is finished. It is functional in the sense that it can fly around, but it needs a lot more power to be practical. There are seven empty decks in the bow. The aft and bottom need to be fleshed out and the aft needs to be redesigned, and the main (aft) bridge is under construction. Capacity is 58 fighters, 30 bombers, and a dozen or so utility craft.

    You\'re far more dedicated than I.

    I just gave myself cash with an admin command and started making ships to supply parts...

    You really don\'t need to give yourself cash. If you\'re lucky at spawn, you\'ll have an abandoned station nearby. Glass is a huge commodity, and those stations easily have a couple thousand glass blocks. You can be a multi-millionaire.

    If you use that money properly, you can build a ship that will take on a pirate station. If you can kill the pirate station, the minerals you get can make you a multi-billionaire. After that, it\'s just a case of being able to find what you need... at that point you will find it easier just to give yourself the thousands of hull blocks you need. :P
