    I'd say scale it down to a more practical size (makes finishing it easier).
    And I came up with a 100% serious alternative design.
    I'd put thrusters in the rear gap (center left) and bridge thing maybe where the thrusters were on the original version (where the additional vertical line is)

    sorry for the massive size of this, thumbnail is too small and changing image size to something less ridiculous would have made it look bad

    One can easily carry sufficient chambers to allow for different modes of use. You could have travel and combat modes by having the necessary chambers hooked up but not used save for what's situationally necessary. With the way fleets currently work, a carrier is unnecessary. If fuel and ammunition were a factor in deploying large numbers of AI vessels there would be a more compelling reason to create carriers.

    Agreed.

    I am intrigued by the idea of a vertical star destroyer, though I find the edited blueprint you've provided a less than adequate design. I do, however, understand your proposal and will likely take it into serious consideration.

    I voted no just because the ship is too big to effectively build, putting the length to like 1400 meters would probably work a lot better.
    also why would you unironically build something in Starmade at this point?

    Is no one going to say this?

    Fine, I will.

    It's a Star Destroyer.
    Just like any star destroyer from any Star Wars movie.



    What design and vision are we talking about here?

    I would either commit to a true and accurate replica or heavily alter the plans.

    Actually, if you are really into nitpicking, it is a Star Dreadnought or Super Star Destroyer. See, I can do that too. It is even stated that it was based on the Eclipse without the ridiculous nose hook.

    My point exactly; Soooo damn similar.
    Like, "What's the point" level of similar.

    Quoting the entire post straight ahead of you is quite unnecessary though. I'd know it's a reply either way.

    The vessel's design is as the majority of my ships are - Imperial. Large, wedge-shaped, and (hopefully) bristling with weaponry, this time being reminiscent of the Eclipse and Eclipse-II Star Dreadnoughts
    Your post is a redundant observation. Hence, "no one is going to say this".

    Maybe because Ash likes it and thinks it would be a cool build?

    Betcha didn't think bout that.

    There is a legend on this forum, that says that people can build whatever the fuck they want if they like it, im sure you have heard about that one too.
