This ship is my white whale... I keep coming back to it as a template for my own carrier... I basically take this hull, gut it, cut it apart, stretch it, make it taller, reconfigure weapons... basically modify the hell out of it and I never end up satisfied with the product before the next DLC with all new junk to cram into it.
I lost my blueprint once, started from scratch again then deleted it... now I'm back 😆👌
Its a great platform to work with !

Dude I could barely build big red 2.0 on my own. This is insane! Kudos

congrats on being the most popular ship

@typhon plume, my man, why would they need to promote it, this is literally the most popular blueprint on steam

So what's the details on this? Power, thrusters, size, etc etc... details man details it helps promote the blueprint!

this beautiful carrier needs a refit for 2023 of some sort, a piece of art like this can't be lost to time

@Cobe look at the damn date dude, yes it's old

It is !

it looks old

will there ever be a mk.II version of this ship? this ship is just too good yet a lil' bit outdated by now sadly

I built and uploaded this before sorters existed because the got added in a patch.

Well, you don't have sorters. Why? I thought connectors need sorters to move items around

Possible, stuff is old ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why when I put ingots in any of the storages next to the assemblers it doesn't craft anything? Is this broken now?

cool ship

finally got a screenshot up, probably the most op rebuild ive ever done

proper refits? yea totally im not a horrible builder who is only good at editing ships XD

Sure! Would love to see proper refits, but never got the time.

hello, would you ok with me updating this vessel and maybe a few others that are part of the scarp yard and adding blocks they added since the ships got uploaded and putting it in a fleet collection im working on, ill most likely rename it for the collection but ill be linking to the originals and giving you the credit for the original ship like ive done with the others

kopiert

ok thanks i will give credit for the build

sure

hey is it ok if i put a version of this ship on the workshop

Love this thing.

Easy: It’s from years ago and Space Engineers really peaked back then.

i cant beleive this is top

@audiokitchen On the turning, I cheat a little bit with really big ships by turning the gyros on and off while rotating. On, move mouse, off, reset mouse, on, move mouse, repeat until turned.

hey @JD.horx ive retro fitted this thing so much now its almost unrecognisable, ive added my own icbm launcher on the the underbelly of the craft with its own little bay where the icbms are made before launch, although those things are hella expensive to make so i dont use them as often as i could, ill upload a pic at some point when i get back on the game again, ive even made my own remote drones and got it fully loaded with em, although tbh i dont use it as much as i use the other ship i got from you redubbed 'the nautilus' its my fleet flagship, when that things rocks up you best hope its there to be an ally, its got far too much fire power for one ship, now has 22 guns, 6 rocket launchers on top of what it had in the front of the ship, i never touched the launcher on the front nor did i change the message on the lcd "keen fix your weapons" i laugh every time i see it

theaudiokitchen you could add more lateral thrusters to it fore and aft to make it turn quicker, or possibly more gyros on each corner, although i just turn off my dampeners and just spin it around then turn it back on, although big ships still take a good few seconds to do that

how do i make it turn faster?

It’s fine, I really like this one, and it’s perfect for weapon showcase, as it has some weak points. (No hate tho, the ship is not designed purely for combat)

dont worry, for sure! But i have lots of less older ships, if you want to use any

Hey, can I use this ship in a video on YT? It won’t be monetised, I don’t even have a channel, but I need it for a showcase of a weapon, and I’m bad at building ships. The video will be public, and might get shared between players on Upside Down server. Of course I will give you full credit for it.

just sent friend request, just seen that message now, it wont let me inbox you without being a friend

Sure, cant promise I can help you but lets see.

hi jd id like to ask your advice on a ship build? would you mind me inboxing you the idea?, it would be good to get the advice from one of the better ship builders in se

ich denke, es ist an der Zeit, alle IMDC-Schiffe umzubauen

xD thanks

IMDC is better than Rwi, Rcsp, Cnl , and Gda

fun fact this is the most subscribed blueprint on the workshop

Looks like it only has Ion, I doubt it

Is this ship able to hold on earth? So if i build it on earth will it not fall is what im asking.

kann es sein, dass das schiff nicht von der erde abheben kann? den irgenwie steckt es bei mir fest und kann nicht abheben, und nein es ist keine station.
