Eeeeh. Late I saw that the ship was created in 2018. Apparently with the new patches for jumping, you need more energy. The ship barely makes one jump into hyperspace. For a VERY short distance. How many resources are missing...

Great ship, I've used it but most servers disallow due to such a high block count

Paladin...now that is a smart name for a ship.

Atm thought I will have to settle for Architeuthis Class as it is in my cost/materials range for the time being and I really need a ship that can soak up more damage.

I would love to see you in a vid showcasing your ship building skills.

@Martin42,
Leider ist der Blockcount bei abgerundeten "Kreationen" selten unter 20k.
Tut mir leid für den MP Aspekt auch wenn ich genügend Server kenne welche solche "counts"
zulassen, mit sehr netten Leuten <3

Ich versuche stets so gering wie möglich bei den Blöcken und Designs zu bleiben.
Leider macht auch die kleinste Rundung schnell zur nichte :/

Ich hoffe allerdings du hast deinen Spaß damit im SP :)

BTW
Some ppls ask for a long time for Help/Tutorial how to build that shapes.
I want to start a Videoguide and need some points you want to know about.

In my case i just build them but for the guide and for you to understand the progress
how to easy build a "bubble" ship.. its important to get some feedback for a usefull guide :)

Interesting comment ^^
Color Codes.
I guess its just for easy visually distinguish. (In my case)

Well thats my point, make it easy and clear for the user.
I know whats planed for that point/frame when i build it, but u cant read my minds..
and i cant read your mind.

So in my case i just color the frames for more visually.
Cargo, Shields etc. use them as you like and need .

Only you knows how you play the game, dont get curious about color codes and have fun with it :)

I am new to Avorion and am curious as to why people tend to color code there internal frames. I believe there is a reason for it but I do not know why as of yet.

Super cooles Design.
Leider ist der Blockcount von 26k auch ziemlich heftig und eignet sich leider nicht auf jedem Server :-(

@Steep, On the last screenshot you can see a framework-block on the top of the ship.
After removing the flightrecorderblock in front of it (search for yellow stripes),
you will be able to see him. Then use the replace-block-button and select a hangar in the buildingmenu, click on the framework to replace it with the selected hangar ^^
Steep 8 Jul, 2018 @ 6:59am 
I am super confused about how to add hangers. What framework is supposed to be converted and how to I get access to the outside of the ship with them?
BLACK®  [author] 4 Apr, 2018 @ 9:35am 
@Tactical Nuclear Coffee, Thank you again,
it`s great for me you have fun with, and like my builds :)
Do not forget to resize this one for Avorion Stage.
Up to trinium/xanion everythig should be fine ^^
Tactical Nuclear Coffee 31 Mar, 2018 @ 3:07am 
In fact all your builds look amazing, getting curves like that aint as easy as it looks so well done. Personaly not my cup of tea but wow, credit were its due.
BLACK®  [author] 30 Mar, 2018 @ 8:00pm 
@Tactical Nuclear Coffee, mmm, aaaah, Thank you ;D^^
@ Polychromatose, It`s not just a face.. it Glooooows ^^
@Spaz, i will scale them up as soon i can, until that please scale the ship
up a bit, until now it seems that trinium is the border for the new scaling system
where the older scales not pass the default mounts. A bit of upscaling should fix this
and gives you as extra some more HP and power/upgradeslots :)
Tactical Nuclear Coffee 29 Mar, 2018 @ 9:39am 
Bloody hell look at those curves lol... sexy af!
Jar-Jar Binks (real) 28 Mar, 2018 @ 7:53am 
Love me a ship with a face
Spaz 28 Mar, 2018 @ 6:11am 
Not sure what you mean, get the needed scales. Im not very good at the actual building in avorion. I will say though that even without the weapon mounts being able to fit the 3 slot cannons, there is still a few large flat plates on the sides that can fit the turrets and still point forward.
BLACK®  [author] 27 Mar, 2018 @ 6:54pm 
@Spaz,
Thank you again for you`re Feedback, you are a boss sir !


It seems they changed the scaling,
all weapon mounts are scaled to 1.2-1.25 to fit the old system up to avorion.
I will scale them up as soon as i can, so no "new" player get problems with it ! ^^

Are you able to get the needed scales so i can update also the next build
( when you select a block who is scaled up and is able to fit your cannons, lower right^^ ) ?

It whould be helpful because i have to start a complete fresh start in a new galaxy
to get the scales just to be sure ^^
Otherwise just give me some time to scale the weapon mounts <3

PS: 3slot.. nice weapons *hrrrr ^^
Spaz 27 Mar, 2018 @ 6:34pm 
Im in trinium area, the turrets where 3 slot cannons and i have not scaled the ship at all yet
BLACK®  [author] 27 Mar, 2018 @ 5:45pm 
@Spaz, Thank you :)

I will also continue to use the frameworks in future designs.
Its a great function i wish i have builded also in my other designs, but
well, we all learn to build better stuff right ^^

At my test on the Beta all turrets fittet to the spots up to the trinium stage,
after that i scaled the ship a bit for more HP to prevent heavy torpedos.
Have they changed something on the sizes so the cannons cant fit anymore in
Titanium/trinium stages ?

What stage you are atm, have you scaled the ship ?
Some more informations should be helpful to improve the design-concept
of the weapon mounts, so i can update them in case of :) ^^

The hangar, well thats right, its small in default size, but the ship isn`t designed as carrier..
..*in default size ( Carrier comes next ;) )

Thanks for you`re Feedback, it`s great for me you having fun with the ship.
In case you are able to answer some questions above, i will update this and future designs also <3
Spaz 27 Mar, 2018 @ 9:55am 
I must say i love this ship, especially how you made so much framework to customize the ship! My only complaints is that your turret hard points arent large enough for cannon turrets, and the spot for the hangar is just so small. Other than that, i absolutely love the ship! Great work!

@Mash1801, Thank you again, i will :)
Mash1801 27 Mar, 2018 @ 8:35am 
@BLACK® I'll look forwards to the video! Keep up the awesome ship building.
BLACK®  [author] 27 Mar, 2018 @ 8:17am 
@Mash1801, Thank you :)
I mainly use the 3 Edgeblocks without the scalingeditor to match the curves.
When you work with the lowest scale and adjust the blocks with every line by one 0.05 Unit
you will be able to get great curves.

I will try to get an Tutorial, maybe a shipbuild on 100% faster to youtube when i got the time
and diskspace for the clip.
(Should be 20 Hours of Video, downscaled on something like 10 Minutes) ^^
Mash1801 27 Mar, 2018 @ 8:09am 
@BLACK® We all are, but you seem like you're close to the stage of forgetting said "new" things. How'd you get your ships to curve so well? How'd you get them all to line up so well?! Did you just use the diamentions editer? I know these must have taken ages to build and they are all gorgeous ships, like... Unfairly gorgeous.
BLACK®  [author] 27 Mar, 2018 @ 8:06am 
@Lard Flitry McBittershits III, Nebuchadnezzar, one of my favorite shipnames ;D
The Shipdesign you linked is nice, in Avorion it should easy hit the 80k Blockcount ^^
@Mash1801, im still learning how to build.
It comes with time :)
Mash1801 27 Mar, 2018 @ 6:48am 
This. This is how to make others feel inadequate in ship building.

Thank you Ninou <3

Quite majestic alright, very nicely done.
