Thank you. I wanted a sneaky engineering access.

Absolutely beautiful exterior, also clever entry to the innards :P

Very Very Nice Design....

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Damn, that is one absolutely gorgeous carrier!

They are on the front page. You can find them here:

Great ship, love the way you designed it.

Good mix between traditional ship and space allocated to fighters and other craft.

Although could I ask you, what are the fighters used in the thumbnail called?

😁 Glad you like it!

I love the traditional wet navy design, certainly unique among void-naval craft!
Sevyrs  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 6:55pm 
Ahahaha, hopefully fond memories!

RL navy carrier vet and this reminds me of home.
Sevyrs  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 5:55pm 
That's totally cool. I chose h2 because it has great acceleration. Suited my needs for what I wanted the ship to do.
Nina 24 Mar, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
I like the look of it. I may get it and modify it a bit. I usualy only like to use hydro engines to get from surface to orbit and use atmos and ions at other times.
Sevyrs  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 9:37am 
Primarily hydrogen with emphasis on vertical and forward thrust. There are some lateral ion thrust units but that is primarily for position adjustment in space when docking. They aren't really strong enough for propulsion bun instead offer a short burn maneuvering vector.
Nina 24 Mar, 2023 @ 7:33am 
what kind of propulsion does it use?
Osker 23 Mar, 2023 @ 5:19pm 
This is incredibly good! Subbed and upped :steamthumbsup:

No these creations (was browsing all your works) are amazing, you should consider making an NPC encounter with them all one day
Sevyrs  [author] 23 Mar, 2023 @ 3:49pm 
Much appreciated!

*subbed* :D

I also piped up the turrets you mentioned and did a little bit of reworking but overall she is completed and shouldn't have any issues how.
Sevyrs  [author] 22 Mar, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Just a heads up, I went ahead and updated the carrier. Thanks for pointing out the disconnected connectors on the side. That helps.
Sevyrs  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 6:40pm 
Sevyrs  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 2:41pm 
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I'll fix that tonight!

Um... looks like the turrets labeled "assault cannon turret 13" and 14 are missing a conveyor link to the rest of the network, but that is the only issue I've noticed so far. Certainly a lot of carry capacity on this vessel. I could line 11 of my newest prototype fighter along the top runway. :)
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:18pm 
I ran a full 2-deck system for the design with enclosed ladder shafts in different places of the ship for easy traversal between decks at any part of the ship too. Still thinking of how I want to make other classes though since my intent was to distinguish them by weapon and armor grade more than size. But anyway, looking forward to seeing the new small craft while looking over this rather interesting carrier. :)
Sevyrs  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
Looking forward to it.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
I'd be interested to learn how I could make the design a little less bulky and more streamlined while preserving the survivability of the vessel. A lot of the work that went into this new one integrated ideas and tactics I learned watching some of GetBrocked's guide videos and other things on youtube to help mitigate secondary explosion and keep the ship operational longer.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:09pm 
Sure! maybe I can send a friend invite over and load the world sometime?
Sevyrs  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:06pm 
Took a look. If you're interested, maybe we can get together and look at it. I'd love to see what you're currently doing with it.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:04pm 
Because I built the interior first and kept a space gap between it and the hull, it added more overall scale but allowed for thicker armor and conveyor redundancy since I localized the magazines to the turrets.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
I see...maybe if I were to study some of the other layouts it might help me better grasp the methods used. I'm not sure if what I made here can still count as a "frigate" anymore, but it is what I arrived at after a type-II rebuild from the ground up. I'd welcome any tips or suggestions for making it look better.

Sevyrs  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 12:52pm 
Incorporation. I use a circuit system. That way if one line gets hit, it was a big circle anyway so there is still a line connecting everything. Let the conveyors be the floor, wall, ceiling when convenient. Never use production or thruster blocks as the main pathway.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
Neat! I did a proper full rebuild of my frigates a little while back to have new interior and better weapon arrangement, but they still came out kinda large with how I did them to wrap the conveyor layer around the interior decks and then putting the armor over that...

How do you manage so many of the more compact interiors on these while still preserving the nice hull shapes?
Sevyrs  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 12:37pm 
In deed, they are an original creation. They and the dropship will be released tonight.
Cmdr. DoomForge™ 21 Mar, 2023 @ 12:33pm 
Hmm, I don't seem to recognize those fighters among the other in-house workshop items, are they new?
BurningMonk 21 Mar, 2023 @ 12:09pm 
Love it! Lots of room for expansion inside too.
[Omega] 20 Mar, 2023 @ 11:17am 
Gorgeous
Sevyrs  [author] 20 Mar, 2023 @ 4:07am 
Thanks guys.

Amazing work Sevyrs. Been waiting for this ship to come out. Subbed upped and favorited
