Spirit-class Fast Battleship

Description
Built long before the Vitannian Empire fractured at the seams; the Spirit Fast Battleships struck fear into the enemy with their mere presence. During a time when ships fought grand close-range broadside battles rather than the more recent long range engagements, the Spirit and her sister ships dominated the skies, even when sacrificing armor for speed. Now a relic of a dead civilization, they can sometimes be found in ship graveyards, still in working order if one is lucky enough.

*I have chosen to use light armor blocks due to two reasons: First, I think overall the light armor looks better from a visual stand point. And second, I think heavy armor is a bit too much even for combat purposes. Of course, this ideal may change if oxygen and pressurization are added.

**There are no Refineries or Assemblers on the Spirit as I have decided to make the battleship dependent on outside sources for everything; ammo, building materials, etc. The Spirit, while large and powerful, is meant to be part of a fleet and not a one-ship-navy. It has large storage for ammo (and food/water/air should they come to Space Engineers), but still needs to be resupplied from other parts of the fleet to continue operating. It also does not possess any exterior gatling or missile turrets as its focus is capital ships. Fighter/bomber escorts are needed to deal with all non-capital ships for standard situations.

***For the most part, the Spirit is complete. However, there is a large, subterranean section that is practically void and open, so until I figure out what to do with it, it has been sealed off. I will continue to update it every now and again, but for now I will leave it be. This ship may lag your system, and it barely has a lighting system of any kind. What few lights are installed are turned off. Most light will come from the Interrior Blocks. If you feel courageous, turn on the lights. I think it looks cool, for what it's worth; albeit unfinished. There is a small system of vents that can be traversed if you feel up to it. I may expand upon it later.

No mods used in the creation of the Spirit.

My other stuff:
* Sumeragi-class Cruiser
* Sumeragi Derelict
* Spirit Wreckage
*Agathon-class Frigate WIP

One can only hope.

Then I guess the station will look even better when it's done then.

I suppose in some sense they appear that way. Never occurred to me. The station itself is still a work in progress. I have the version which you see in the picture, as well as a standalone variant that isn't bound to an asteroid. Both of which of course are empty on the inside right now. But they are mainly designed for my Vitannian ships and is essentially why I haven't released them.

The station looks really fucking cool, but the ships look like actual ships that would be in the water.
