I'm not surprised, it's nearly 5 years old! :D Keen has change the damage area of the hydrogen thrusters since this was published.

The hydrogen thrusters destroy the ion thrusters.

That is all Dwarf-Lord! I was merely a code consultant :P

@Whiplash141 a mighty description for a mighty ship I see!

im subbing hmu if you ever come back o s.e and want to do a new ship design.

Excellent, that's exactly what I was going for! I'm glad you like. :)

BTW, as an almost year-old design, the Shanxi is in the queue for an update to Mark II. It'll be getting a new main gun, among other things.

I will say I'm getting a super cool Mass Effect vibe from the engine/thruster design. Really cool ship!

RL is extremely busy right now, but there will be an update for this coming soon. Getting ready to roll out the next generation of ships, and this needs a little refitting to bring it up to speed with current specs. It'll be getting a new main gun and new missiles as part of the refit.

Possibly the ownership may be playing an issue. Did you try to fire it in a world or from a blueprint?

I have a problem, I triggered the main gun and it didn't fire. Any idea what caused it? Anyone else experiencing it? Cool build, awesome exterior/interior.

wow. I really like the way you make your description, not to speak of the ships marvellous design! really, really well done, give us more!!! o7

Yes, great Dward-Lord. I am subscribed to that world as well.

I have learned well, and what I am building will hopefully bring you joy.

It does indeed! To make things simpler, there's a world that has all the projectile types used by both the Shanxi and the Donau. It's here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=604461037

Thank both of you for your answers.

I assume that that applies for the main gravity shot as well then?

@Neraph: Whiplash141 is both awesome and correct. Ownership is really buggy at present (I kept running into the same bug when building this!)

The problem can be fixed; as he explains, you'll need to create a blueprint of the projectiles that are giving you trouble -- but before you create those blueprints, make sure the ownership of the blocks is the same as the ownership of the ship itself. Then turn the relevant projectors on, and replace the old blueprint with your new one (you may need to realign things). Then switch the projector off.

It's an imperfect situation, but until they fix blueprint ownership we're stuck with it. :/ And I'm really glad you enjoy the ship!

@Neraph:
The issue is a bug with block ownership, not the ship itself. The entire ship and its blueprints are owned by the player in the world but when you paste it in a new world, the projections "forget" their ownership. The only ways to fix this are to unown everything, make a blueprint of all the projectiles with the ownership set to you, or possibly to unown just the merges and the firing program

All that said I really like the ship and reverse-engineering it has taught me a hell of a lot. It's wonderful and I'm using pieces of it as inspiration for my own ship.

I ran into a problem. The ship works mostly fine when loaded as-is, but the main grav-shot will not rebuild. I think it's a problem with the placement of the welders.

Also, when I saved a blueprint to mess around with it in my other creative world, the ASM/ECM tubes will not fabricate the ships properly. The merge blocks get built and are immediately disconnected so the bays fill up with merge blocks.

Thank you all for the compliments! Please let me know if you find any problems, or if you have any suggestions that might improve it.

this is gorgeous, why is this not featured.

Awesome ship!

booom

Awesome!

Cool looking ship

Excellent, well rounded firepower and decent acceleration for a ship of it's mass. Very nice DLP!
