[StarTrek] [Non-canon] uss-barracuda - Completed

[therimmer96]

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.

Stats

blocks - 390640

length - 288

height - 98

width - 153

power - 5,262,521(2805792e/sec)

thrust - 160645

shields - 1240862(27549 s/sec) blocks: 60321; recovery: 4.0

Well my server i am building this on has been reset. so work on this has been rolled back to a backup. which sucks. therefore, nothing new to post. :\'(

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

 

[therimmer96]

I do have a white version, but it is an unfinished version.

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

 

[therimmer96]

Oh, I have forgotten the download and to change the specs list! This is done now.

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

 

[therimmer96]

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

Sweeeeeet.

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
