    Hi shipbuilders!

    Id like to introduce you new ship we started to build with my friend Harry.

    Its replica of Raynor's battlecruiser Hyperion from Starcraft II.

    New pic. We had to redo few frames, length went up to 1230m, wings are 15m wider each and yes, main hull is too narrow. We will make it 10-20m wider on each side. And Im still unhappy with wings shape.

    This looks pretty nice so far, the size of it makes me almost ashamed of the smaller one I\'m building

    I took the blue one, which is copy of http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/terran-battlecruiser-raider-blue/

    and remade it to look like Hyperion. It was just a model used to upscale dimensions.



    New pics in first post!

    Firstly, thanks for your support.

    Planned length is 1150ish meters, width should be 800 meters, neck plus head part that we can see on pic is maybe 600 meters long.

    Every turret has 40k dps, but Harry managed to upgrade one to almost 60k i believe. We need to test it more. Front part has 8 of these turrets, 6 are at main hull (2 on bottom).

    We have few ideas how to design Yamato gun, probably as few circle arrays that would shoot sphere shaped ball of deadly AMC rays.

    There will be plenty of room for generators, shields, batteries and engines so as big numbers as possible.

    Also, we plan to make few hangar bays (one can be seen on last picture, at the bottom of neck part). These hangars will be big enough for one Hercules or few dropships, banshees etc. I also have an idea how to build SCV. .)

    to make the yamoto cannon more realistic, i suggest lowering the reload time and putting all the spare points into damage.

    Yes, that thought did cross the mind, however, no matter how much you underscale the reload, it would still be in the magnitude of milliseconds. Only rockets have reload times in seconds, but that would break another paradigm, namely that the yamato is an energy based weapon.

    Im looking forward to seeing this when its done! however, 1230m long? Wow, thats more than double its actual 1:1 size, Being a Behemoth class its specs should be closer, if not smaller than a Gorgon class, here are specs.

    Gorgon-class

    Main article: Gorgon

    A Gorgon-class battlecruiser

    Added by Hawki

    The Gorgon- class is larger than the Behemoth-class.[1] The interior included a bridge.[24] Gorgons can withstand multiple Yamato cannon hits.[1]

    Bucephalus, a Gorgon outfitted as a flagship in 2503, is 560 meters long and 82.4 meters wide, with a crew of approximately 8000.[24]

    Our project was ended. Hyperion was too big to be handled by servers and clients and used smoothly. And we hadnt much spare time.

    However, we restarted our work on smaller version with exact model. (thanks to jjaquinta\'s work)

    Pics soon.
