Description
WARNING: STORY AHEAD

The USSP Kuvalda is an improvised capital ship. Welded together by workers of the factory planet Odessa while under siege by NATO forces in 2056, the Kuvalda was able to break through the enemy blockade to signal the Soviet Navy.

The Kuvalda is the result of the combination of a damaged freighter, the engine nacelles of a half-finished Projekt 3356 "Super Shkval", a LOT of duct tape, and a powerful gravitational ore slag separator as its main powerplant.

In addition to the liquid rocket engines of the cannibalized frigate, this repurposed industrial mass driver accelerates the ship at up to 74 m/s^2 forwards and 69 m/s^2 in any other direction. Nobody is sure how the captain survives these continuous G-forces without blacking out, but it probably has something to do with vodka.

STORY OVER

I designed the Kuvalda as a protected base ship for survival. It has strongk refining and assembling facilities and all the large containers you could ask for. The gravity drive was intended to let it still have some mobility while carrying cargo, and while its armament may not be advanced it is somewhat potent.

As a very no-frills ship, the Kuvalda also lacks in crew comfort. It is not airtight, has no cryo chambers, and only one survival kit for respawn.

Credits
I copied some parts of the upper superstructure from J.D. Horx's IMDC Nestorius. Masterpiece of a ship if any of you haven't seen it already. Other than that it's completely original.

The Kuvalda uses several scripts to function-
Whiplash141's Weapon Salvo Script, MMaster's Automatic LCDs 2 Script, DifferentLevelDan's TOG Script, Whiplash141's Turret Based Radar Script, Whiplash141's Artificial Horizon, and Whiplash141's Weapon Slaving Script.

Glad you like it! But I honestly have more points than I know what to do with

Update: The ship works beautifully, I love the handling, the look is amazing, Now I think I need to find the crafting stations

Like at all, at all?

Let me download the update and see if I was stupid and left it set to station.

If not, it should still be able to move at least somewhat- if scripts are disabled in your world the gravity core won't work and it will be slow.

Amazing looking ship but i am unable to make it move at all, is there a resolution to this?

This was built in creative, but it took me only a few hours for most of it and was not planned with layout at all lol, I just kinda placed the insides and went with it
SyntheticPanda 7 Dec, 2019 @ 12:04pm 
did you plan the layout or slap it together for an escape ?
and then worked on the look ?

Broadside- so r u :)

Tumor- <3

DeathBirds- Eh, it's also something you get better at over time I think. My first ships looked pretty bad, but I improved over a year or so.

CTH- Amazon is capitalist corporation, duct tape is produced by factory planet comrade)))

All the best artists are the dead ones.

Gravity drive powered cubes with guns are pretty funny weapons.

Yes, this one was made when one of my faction guys needed an armored base ship to break through an enemy ambush while carrying all our resources, so I quickly came up with this. She had escorts as well to help deal with the enemy ships, but a very tough nut nonetheless.

Absolutely gorgeous ship!
