Ship: Salvager Alpha

[Crendermin]

This is my first actual build so if you are going to be a jerk and criticize it for no reason, please just leave now.

I call it "Salvager Alpha" but I did not put a name on the side in case you don't want that name.


This is the front of the ship, it is equipped with 3 main cannons, 1 large salvage cannon and 164 Single-Block missiles tubes along the top. (WARNING: Firing missiles will eat 65% or more power!)

The front has a blast door on the inside and outside of the red crystal, more for looks than actual function since crystal armor blocks are stronger than the Blast Doors. Within the cockpit, there are 5 computers, 1 gravity unit and 1 faction module.


This ship is 103m long, 18m tall and 23m wide with 2,808,834.9 power and 52,346 shielding. The only hallow area of the ship is the front, the rest of the ship is solid. There are a total of 19214 blocks that make up the ship with a thrust of 1921.1. (It does not have a fast acceleration.)
This ship also features 2,000 Cannon Blocks which make up the three main guns, one on top, and the other two on either side dealing and average of 10,000 DPS.
Along the bottom of the ship is a salvage cannon with a total of 1,000 blocks. On both sides on the front features a Blast Door to access the cockpit, this blast door is doubled in case the shield goes down.


This image is to show just how long the ship is compared to a shop so be careful when flying around, the ship core is in the very front so steering can be challenging.



Here is a simple spinning gif of the ship... (I apologize for it spinning so fast)


[DOUBLEPOST=1421632808,1421632711][/DOUBLEPOST]Remember this is my first build so please do not be to harsh, I made this ship on a multi-player server so my resources were slightly limited.
Thank you for looking and have a nice day.

For a first build, this is a really nice shape! Not one of those flying boxes a lot of first timers build. I'd say the only thing that really lets it down on looks is the flat front. The best example of that is the image from above, you've done some good work breaking up straight lines and giving it its own unique look, but then that all sort of stops at the front, maybe add some kind of protruding structure.

I really like the ship as a whole. I like the shape and the fact that it's your first ship on a multiplayer server is even better.
Things to improve:
Penta's and Tetras (minor).
Maybe smoothen the front center gun? with wedges. (also minor)
you can use corners on the boarder of the window to smoothen the 1 block difference. (1 row of the window at the top)
something to break up the middle top. Maybe ribs or something similar.

You knew exactly what you wanted and built it. As you can see my improvement list is really quite short and is limited to minor detailing. This is certainly a great first ship and I look forward to seeing more.

Now that's what I call a cannon. Makes mine feel a bit inadequate. Good ship and grats on getting your space legs. I just recently finished my 1st ship and it's a cool milestone. My only suggestions would be:
1. A ship with that much real estate is calling out for some turrets. Really evil ones.
2 you could take that whole thruster block and mount it in the z axis which might gain you some turning speed.

Thank you guys for your replies, it has been a very long time since I last played and I have updated this ship some accordingly, I will take all of your replies to thought and maybe build a new ship
