    Over the last couple of weeks, I have been rebuilding the USS-BARRACUDA made by blibbob and jerrahcallaghen in minecraft into starmade. Now, with their permission, I am glad to show the progress so far.

    The ship was nearly ready for release, but I have already put her through a refit to improve the layout of the AMC array's.

    I have begun gutting the barracuda again, but this time, due to the \"shotgun\" weapons nerf, I am going to focus on design more than fire power. I have no new pics today

    I have also created a shuttlecraft that will be docked inside ready. That is available for download right now.

    after taking a short break from this to work on the admin station and PVP maps on my server, I decided it was time to do some actual interior work on this. so I started on the engineering section. as the ship features 4 warp nacelles, It made sense to me that it needed a twin warp core setup. This is engineering so far -

    I am now nearing completion of this, and already realising it needs to be refit. But I will atleast finish it before gutting and starting again. I have added a med bay, all corridors are in, the hangar is complete, and i have added a temporary bridge that will probably be redesigned before I release it.

    The ship already has its \"quirks\", which is why it needs to be refit. I noticed something I originally dismissed from my head thinking it was a bug with the game, but it isnt. The shuttles were starting to randomly take damage, inside a sealed hangar. But this isn\'t a bug. Part of the hangar is located infront of the weapons, meaning that any shuttles and/or crew members in the hangar are getting shot. I didnt notice this until I entered a battle with someone, when I accidently overloaded one shuttle and killed a friend trying to get to it. oops.

    You should paint it white because the default starmade gray is too dark ;D

    just one question will this ship pass a combat test agenst ships of the same size since it has only 600k shild a huge trust and only around 2mil power so the trust will eat lot of the power so tha tu cant move a lot in combat or u wont be abelt o fire a few strogn guns while u move, i know that making interieurs eat away a lot of room for shilds ( thats why i dont have a lot of it outside my station)



    my main poitn is isnt it just smart to dump X amount of trust to place more shilds

    good to see that shild are dubbled by now i stillt hignt hat trust is a bit of a overkill for how big the ship is since a 390640 block wil have a mass around 39064, and will probly be hard to fit in even more shilds ? since 25% of the shild recahrge is not a lot small fighters can still take it down, i know i may be lookign at teh combat possibilities a bit to much

    This was never built to be the best in combat, just powerful enough to stand its own, and look awesome whilst doing it

    despite I know this needs to be refit desperatly, It has been put to the side as I know have a number of ships under way that I want done, some of which are just hull conversions from 3d models, as I am waaay to lazy to build a hull that is nearly 1k long. I probably wont release all of these, as the faction I am in will be using them, and we obviously dont want to be blown out of the sky by our own ships. Here is a list of what I have underway:

    • sovereign class (enterprise-E)
    • Oddessy class (enterprise-F) (star trek online)
    • Legacy class (startrek online)
    • Federation class in the JJverse style

    Planned:

    • A non-canon idea someone gave me
    • USS-Newton
    • USS-Armstrong
    • Universe Class (enterprise-J)
    • maybe a USS-Kelvin
