PREFACE
Thanks to Jenniphurr—founder/owner of -ZeroG- —for the awesome showcase video! I hope you don't mind me posting it here :)

I would also like to thank Anders Strand, who also made a showcase video of 'The Dream'. He's got quite a few other showcase videos that's he's been uploading recently. Be sure to check out his YouTube channel, and give him a sub! Who knows, maybe your ship will end up in a video, if it's not there already!

Be sure to check out this AMAZING redesign of DG15 by well-known builders oojimaflip and vicomt. I had nothing to do with the redesign (even though they've listed me as a contributor), other than having provided the original basis for their project.

======================================================

This Homeworld-inspired destroyer was originally concepted, designed, and built by Dorian Glacet, entirely out of LEGOs[www.flickr.com], in 2015.

I built the whole thing at least 20% too small overall. Figure about 15-20 blocks longer, scale everything else proportionately. Sorry!

This ship is intended for use primarily by one person, rather than a clan/faction of players. It's too narrow to fit any sort of reasonable hangar in the hull to accompany a small fleet of SVs, and the majority of the interior is occupied by either primary/secondary systems, or extra layers of armor. I did manage to squeeze in a small hangar in the lower bow section of this ship, but you'll only have room for an SV that's 16m wide or less.

I've also had a couple people point out that this has no landing gear. The original did not either, and while I did have some on here at one point, I decided to remove them to stay faithful to the original. They can be easily added to the bottom of the ship, just keep in mind you'll need to add roughly 10 downward-firing medium thrusters to the underside to help lift this off a planet. It's doable and it works, I simply decided against it.

Overall, I think Dorian crafted a beautiful piece of art, and I feel pretty confident that this ship should serve you quite well in your travels. I'd love to hear what you think!

Thanks Tomash :)

Sorry to hear you didn't like the redesign! I thought the Space Moles guys did an excellent job, but I can see where some might find it a bit impractical.

It. Is. Beautiful.
An I didn't like this redesigned version at all :D

I've had that happen before as well, but I also had around 25-30 large CVs spawned in and docked around 3 space stations, all within a couple kilometers of each other. Looks like you've got something to add to your wishlist! :)

nvm, i just looked at last screenshot...i think it's just that my Robotic Potato hates this game...

Sometimes when they're to many Blocks on my computer, it lags, and i guess this has more than 100,000. My breaking point on my PC is 50,000, after 50,000 i crash...

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder why this ship would've caused it, though? It's only a class 4 ship, not that much in terms of devices or anything crazy.

When i actully tried to spawn it in for the first time...i crashed ;-;


Can someone send me a excellent GPU Card because im running on Top-Of-The-Line Robotic Potato Cards...
