I love this design so much I took the big lauchers of the sides and put reloadables and gatlings on instead for myself. Great building!

For those really interested in this ship even though it is broken coz of the updates, u can manage to somehow fix it by removing the rotor inside it's belly that makes it go nuts and glitchy, by for exemple spawning it high in the sky in creative, breakinside it and remove the rotor befor it crash. it will fix it mostly and let u fly it in and out of the atmosphere. not the msot efficient way am sure. but as long as u break that rotor even by crashing it u are golden.

sadly this beauty no longer works :/

Yeh I was looking at that other ship. it gave me an idea - but I design for function more then asthetics so my ships look blockyish/clunky lol.

However - My idea would be - build a ship that comes apart via merge blocks - the front section docks with the "large grid" weapons. then the rear drive section merge docks with front section.

could use a little "tug" ship on each section to help assist docking. Or even dock each section to pistons? then the pistons push the ship back together (or close enough for merge blocks to merge)

though I do still like your ship design :)

@Dunewolf I'm afraid this ship is a bit tricky to build in survival as projectors do not support multiple grids. To build it, you will need to place the large grid blocks manually. There are only 7 block however. It's also easier if you leave the roof off until you've done the inside.

Alternatively, just build this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=536895023 It's a better ship that does virtually the same thing. It's more expensive, but goes faster, has more firepower, is tougher and is much easier to build in survival.

Ive had trouble getting this ship to work - the weapons dont "project" to be built - maybe they could be added as secondary projection somehow? -- I could see myself flying this ship to set location and locking it down - then building the weapons via large projector. if the weapons was available as large projection. unless im doing it wrong somehow o.O

@Chabin The ship has decoys in the sides that are rapidly switched by a programming block. If turret targeting is working correctly this is quite good at making you harder to hit with turrets.

What constitutes the electonic countermeasure system?

Beautiful! Can't wait to check it out!

Very nice design. I like the top profile view of the ship as well.

I always thought the original had too much blue and not enough gray. That being said, I probably could have done a little more blue. Feel free to repaint!

Needs more blue! Like the original :D
