Trek it Out 2! (USS Sol, a Nova class starship)

Trek it Out 2: The Wrath of the Electric Boogaloo

Hey all.

This here is a nova class starship completely built to schematics (minus one deck...) using a large block as 2.5 meters. This is about as good as it's going to get for me as I've been working on this for a while. Then I stared at it for a while. Then I changed a few things. Then I went back to staring at it. Rinse and repeat over the course of a week.

I'm super anal about my builds and updated the first Trek it Out like 8 different times (it's still not done...).

Anyways, the ship has 7 decks and was built as a jump off for a survival build. The ship is fully pipelined out for storage and weapons. Here is how it's laid out:

Deck 1: Bridge
Deck 2: Captain and First Officer quarters (no furniture) with a crew mess hall. In the aft section there is an observation point for the refinery and assembler. A series of service doors makes for a pretty decent jeffries tube that runs from here down to deck 7.
Deck 3: Sick bay and additional empty rooms. In the aft section are the actual refinery and assembler along with a beacon and batteries. You'll start to see that the pipelines are positioned between decks and covered with grates.
Deck 4: A whole lot of empty rooms for whatever you see fit. I didn't want to confuse the space any more than it already is with furniture. In the aft section is the hangar bay with three workbee shuttles. Each shuttle has a merge block and a mining rig is available. There are some exposed pipes back there, but I really couldn't hide them any more than I had already tried.
Decks 5 and 6: Upper and lower engineering decks
Deck 7: Communications array

To navigate the floors, there is a central turbolift shaft with airlock access on the dorsal and ventral sides.

I tried to keep the weapon layout as close as possible with 11 gatling turrets and 3 missile turrets. I opted to use the missile turrets as they tend to blow my ship up less when I'm using my "less than good" maneuvers.

There are some really impressive starship builds out there, but I wanted something a little more exact for a possible RP scenario. Hope you guys like it. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
