I'm working on 1:1 scale defiant build as well based on blueprints I found online. I don't think it's gonna look quite as good as yours but I think I'm further along than you xD. Let's see who wins this race.

You gon finish this?

can you guys send me your recommended mod list to run these ships as smoothly as possible?

Yes, I know such restrictions / problems only too well! I have been waiting for years to be able to use more blocks reasonably without crashing

Addendum: i had to build the stardrive in two pieces cause the game would crash when i tried to build above deck 33.

well, a few years ago. i was unable to complete the stardrive. due to the then limitations of the game. but recently, (about 6-8 months ago) i took a chance and managed to join the two sections of the stardrive together. hopefully i may be able to do the same with the stardrive and saucer. after the game has been updated and refined further.

Yes i know, i like your work!
it is so sad, that we cant finish our works -.-

i've got the complete frame of the stardrive section of the galaxy made. minus hull. have started adding walls and floors.

Sorry for my bad english

When you use big-blocks, this is not the problem! Build a akira-class with small blocks!

I have try a NX, Constitution without Refit and with refit, Galaxy, Intrepid and Defaint class ships in small blocks... only the Defiant and Constitution without Refit Hull have i done to higher 90%.

If it were up to me, I would create all my favorite ships deck by deck and room by room...

I just posted her! Refining her description, making sure she has all the mods listed. The main ones I believe are there. Shes my favorite ship, and I spent a long time drawing her and working from pictures and books to get things spaced as exact as possible.

Yeah id love to take it for a spin!

It is not with decks unfortunately... It took a few weeks but I got her exterior pristine, but decking her takes months, if you want it to make any sense at least. There isnt too much about her ship deck wise like there are on hero ships, so I gotta make my own way. Ill post her tonight if you like :) Ive been meaning to anyways.

Sorry, but Space Engineers cant handle no more blocks!

blue_berry23 is your akira 1:1 with decks? i cant wait to see it

Secretagentnight, I built the Akira, Ill post her soon.

is it broken now? please build an akira next

how to get in to the map

how do i accsess the mod

Yes, i will reduce the mods soon...

So. Many. Mods... but it is so beautiful!

Update: Ship uploaded

Hi big_blue_4101,

my english is not so good for a complete statmente for your questions & viewpoints. Sorry for that, but i will try to explain:

Yes, you have right, i have many inconsistencies in the design. But for me, it is ok.
Also, why is my ship 129m and not 120m? As i started my build, i calculated each deck with 7 small blocks high. 1-7. from the button up:

7. Covers & heavy armoured framework
6. 45° Corners
2-5. Walls
1. Groundblock

All this is 3,5 m high each Deck, and total with all Decks i come on this size of 129 m length.

I use the BP from "Strategic Design by David Schmidt & Tim Palgut from 2007 / Quantum Reality Inc." I searched for compleate shematics, and this on has all decks and details inclusive. :)

The redundant Computer Core: Yes i think i will reduced this diameter.

MP between us: Yes ok, but my spoken english is very very baaaaaad. ;)

4. On deck 2, you have a little recessed area in the back of the computer core. i noticed that you did not have this recess in the same area on deck 3. you will need to add that because the BPs call for a JFRS TB ladder in that space.
Now, I understand that this ship is still a WIP. I am just giving out some pointers.
I am also working on building my own Defiant. though it seems that you and i started at opposite ends of the construction process. you began with the hull, and I began with the decks. Although it looks like i was a bit more conservative with my space. with narrower halls and slightly smaller rooms.
I look forward to seeing this ship in its finished state. Maybe we can MP once our respective ships are complete and compare?

i've been looking over the S.I.P, taking note of how well it conforms to Star Fleet Code and regulations. And I have noticed some inconsistencies in the overall design. Now, I hope that you take critiques well.
1. the length and beam of the ship are over specification.
length-120 meters (yours - 129.5 meters)
beam-90 meters (yours - 95.5 meters)
2. the room that you have inbetween the two computer core rooms is not in the original BPs, and i'm assuming is where the extra 5.5 meters came from.
3. i would recommend finding a way to reduce the diameter of the computer cores. i tried to manuever around them and got stuck. maybe remove the outer most ring of blocks to enable technicians to more easily get around them.

also, you could use the bussard ramscoop mod on the front of the nacelles. so that the ship can collect hydrogen while moving. probably place them in around the lights.

yep, that's right. and there would be extendable docking tubes that come out of there. but the extendable tunnel mod that i know of only fits large block :(. still, i'd fashion some kind of airlock that can fit in under the panels.

Update: 1 new Screenshots, Docking Port(s)?!

Update: 2 new Screenshots, ship progress upload coming soon...

ok thx, i will test it! :)

the proper name for the mod is 'VCZ airtight connector' it's a hollowed out connector with an attachable door piece that, with the script, will allow it to act like a door between two different sections that are detachable. I'm using it to connect the two sections of my galaxy class stardrive section, without going over the physical shapes limit and crashing my game. :)

ok, new version o this ship now up! ;) Only for you!

all thinks are still work in progress!!!! NOT FINISHED!

i have added the list, not the new version of this ship!

hm...
seems like Ste came back to fix them 2/3 of a year ago or something?

*converted by SEmodder4

The UncleSte mods!
They were broken by the Dx11 Update and someone else converted them to Dx11.

I use this mods in this list at the right side. i dont know about your mod...

???

some of these mods seem pretty outdated

can i recommend the VCZ airlock mod(with script) for the connection point between the warhead and the ship?

Update: Mod list added

Update: new screenshoots and infos added

Hi, very good question, this airlock is now gone! This was a test area for me to build interiors. ;)

i have a question. what are you using for reference material for this build? i'm just wondering cause the "airlock" at the front of the ship in the warhead section is in the wrong spot. that spot is supposed to be a probe launcher. while the airlocks are located under the tan panels on the top of the warhead section.

2 new screenshots released

nice!

Update! Upload and DLC List coming soon...
