I forget the sizes and blocks used as you can see the old pirate station in the one pic is roughly the size of the turret barrels.
it was quite huge in the end. but for all the constant upgrading and rebuilding it was a real pain in the ass!
A great deal was holding all of the power cards I had made think like 50 0f them was used as they were ships as well the turrets also had it's own power as well and could be lanched as ships too, it also housed the B-Wing squadron as also the bottom had two orbitial turrets that split in the middle of the ship and hung down wards which are being redone in the 2nd picture.
You had to go way back just to take a screen shot of it and on servers my ship had to be far away from spawn due to the lag ot caused it...
You had to be sectors away from it or it would blast you one shot you basically
The top cannon turret was for dropping shields for a one hit wonder.
from a side barrage you had 8 Titian turrets facing you and the top cannon as it was designed to fire forwards and backwards as the turrets were on steps of height.
From far off it looked like a floating factory
or a space station of sorts for all the lighting I had on it -> navigation lights in the earlier version when they had sound the rounds use to make this crazy noise if you flew by them or they passed by close enough.
Oh well the good ole days - cheers guys

wow, completely forgot i posted on this thread until literally today. suffice it to say that SkylordLuke's advice was the right call (i lost that save AGES ago, and i think i started that project before Power 2.0 was out) gonna re-read thru this thread to see what the currently-reported record is

I had added to make the top turret at the end of what the game would support. It was designed for shields, but it became just too big in the end. Most players are not going to have 99.9% shields on their ships. I was curious about what the limits of the ceiling were. As you can see, the blocks were raised just to make the testing room for it, as the purple lady stopped flashing. Which was still overkill.
The one-hit wonder. Ships this size had to be made in pieces for the cost factor limit servers had on blueprints, which was also a factor.
Plus, the war or battle would be fought from the sector's ranges with the bobby AI on. As one might warp a sector away, which my ship fired and a moment later, so and so just died without ever seeing what occurred, like the pirate station, my ship's cannons turned and fired once and went back to positions and curious to what they shot at, next sector over was the pirate station. Where the pirate turrets were on mounted post columns, as you see, they are utterly missing.
As you can see, a full operational pirate station, it really becomes not much of a game after this; you lose the intended gameplay after this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's cool and all to make the big ship, to say you did that. But the first time you take the station out and get the goodies is the fun part with a basic fighter you made, and the time you rob it and scavange it.
There is also a lot of shipbuilding burnout, just making Titans or having to rebuild them to keep up with game changes, as the idea of the game is no longer "fun" in building Titans, or you can not see it all in the frame, you're in, going far past your field of view and you need to be at 20km away from it just to take a screen shot of it, and lose all the details.
Ideally, to have a capital ship navy type thing, where the block count on the pirate station is all you get to use for length, height, and width perimeters for each ship or expressed as within mass as well. since you may want hardened blocks for the exterior. That will keep your gameplay fun, even if you fight others just for that purpose.
My purpose is to do storytelling... in a different universe
of sorts. where a hero-sized ship is used against galactic bullies and other stuff. As it is a found and bound in destiny vs the ships produced by the Earth Space Forces.
It's a sorted Hybrid than the original yet still follows the original look. The storytelling is similar to Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers, which was a narly show in my youth, as an era of uniqueness. Even my son fell for that years later, as it's a fantastic ship and storyline manga.
It's now trying to express the manga storyline, how a group of people came together to build from the impossible.

Seeing as this thread is already necro'd, (and I was amused by this modest number), might as well throw out there that AtraUnam holds the current record on the scale chart at 1637m.
