    Howdy, so I started working on a ship a few days ago, little did I know then that I'd be making what I project to weigh in as a medium sized titan ship, according to MrFurb's guide here http://star-made.org/content/blitzwings-guideline-ship-classifications



    You'll notice in the screenshots below that it is VERY obviously inspired by a star destroyer, but what is shown/ what I've managed to build so far is only what I deem the Reactor level, this level will literally be filled with power gen, power storage, and shields. When I finish the reactor level I'll begin working on the actual ship itself which will take a much different shape than a star destroyer ( at least in my mind it will)

    At the moment it's size is 255 long, 170 wide, and 15 high ( I'm mostly going to be building UP and out on the X axis at this point so length shouldn't change very much wheras height will obviously change A LOT)



    Now I'm very new to titan building ( this is my first titan, the second largest ship I've built weighs in at a mere 5000 mass, the weight of this current ship's reactors alone) so any tips on building massive objects would be appreciated. And I feel like I should mention that every last bit of this ship has been hand gathered or bought on my private server I host for a few of my friends and myself so actual completion may take awhile since I have to gather everything myself. ( I also believe that server commands are cheating unless your doing something strictly creative, this ship is also being built for combat on my server so no commands will be used)



    P.S. if anyone knows how to get rid of that yellow box in the screenshots I'd appreciate the info because I can't get rid of it.

    So I had a bit of time to work on the ship this morning and last night, so i\'ve started work on the rest of the ship, and just PART of the shell of the rest of the ship added an additional 30,000 mass to the point where it now weighs in at close to 50,000 mass the orginal projected mass of the complete ship so i\'ve decided it no longer will be a Titan and most likely end up as a Calbiri class ship by the same classification guide as the one listed above, also heres some new screenshots, please keep in mind what is in there is just a shell, so at this point none of the details or interior has been added, and the shell itself is also not done yet.

    Also the ship is still 100% hand gathered ( or salvage cannoned) blocks.

    An album that includes all the images i currently have of the ship and will have more added to it as it develops

    Current stats of the ship as of July,31

    Mass:45,301.2, Blocks:453,012

    Length:262 height: 96 Width:238

    power cap: 124,136,176.7 Regen: 3,459,724.6

    Thrust: 10,094

    Shield cap: 1,290,910 Regen: 19,721 blocks: 64,007 Recovery: 4.0



    At the moment the ship has no weaponry of any form but all my minor testing leads me to believe that in the end it\'s AMC\'s will be able to push quite a lot of damage, not to mention the AI controlled destroyers i plan on strapping to it for combat purposes ( since what is a capital ship without a fleet, this ship shall carry a fleet of AI ships which i can undock via the weapons control panel)
