    In this case I shall enter the Copernicus and then my new big ship once it is finished.

    I don't mind if you minus points because it's smaller I am entering it for the design.
    Here is a picture:
    So, don't get me wrong, this is a damn sexy ship, but it is kinda on the edge size wise, if it were like another 4k or 5k less mass there is no way I would accept it, less than 90k and it's really on the fence, but this one is so close to 90k that it's fine.

    All in all, great ship, just letting ya know how close you were.

    Sure, add my battle barge ^^. I'll probably work on it some more and maybe my other ships. Learned a lot from all my weapon tests so I'll have to adjust the weapons on the pillar of autumn and finish the interior, after that I can add that one too.
    So, I was just going over this contest again, and I realized, you said Pillar of Autumn...

    It should be chosen by you, no one else should have any say in it. There are plenty of builders that have a whole collection of fans behind them. Votes will always be in favor of those.

    Very true indeed! I would not have considered such a possibility, the only way to otherwise receive a fair deal is a blind vote, but everyone knows many of the submitted ships as it is. So you judge, it is your competition!

    I've also decided on a prize ship to donate, it will look very lovely indeed.

    Umm, is it ok if my ship goes over the minimal limit by around 14 times? Because its already at 50k mass and its only 1/20 % done

    As long as my computer doesn't crash, the ship is fine.[DOUBLEPOST=1412995121,1412995054][/DOUBLEPOST]

    I'm actually friends with UK_IN_US in real life, and neither of us knew the other was gonna post a competition until after we did, lol.

    50k mass only equals 0.05%? So the finished ship will have 100 million mass (about 1 billion blocks)? That would be quite impressive :D

    Yeah... I may have overstated that a little bit

    It will be seriously large though, mainly because I'm going for the most shielded award and hope to have around 400,000,000 shields, because Orphaniel's Rex will be hard to beat when it comes to shielding.

    I promise you I can, I have got 6 hours per day to do whatever I want

    It's already got 37mil shields and is now at 100k mass

    Orphaniel built Rex in one month

    You only need something with 1 Mil blocks and it's entirely possible to make something like that in under 2/3 weeks with about 2 (productive :d) hours a day. Of course, adding special features like a full sized interior or a complicated logic system will increase build time although with the copy paste templates building goes a lot quicker now, at least the tedious parts :)
