speaking of 40k ships, i'll probably make the schematics for one of those fuckhuge imperial battlecruisers
I'm kind of burnt out already, I can't think of anything to build.
Had some more time to kill so I made this:

[QUOTE=qwerty000;42683071]in minecraft, you don't just add a block, you replace it (air to stone, or air to wood etc), and huge buildings don't lag as much (I may be wrong). In this game however, you add blocks, and it gradually starts to lag more.[/QUOTE]
I'm no expert either, but I don't think it works that way
the reason minecraft feels consistent is because 99% of the time, you are building apon a really complex terrain
eg: you build a house with 15 new faces, you are already rendering hundreds of faces due to the ground, caves, trees etc
in this you start with no cubes at all, so each block you add has a relatively greater impact
the distinction between having a null block and an 'air' block is completely arbitrary, it has no impact on the simulation or render

also, I'd imagine lighting in this is much more expensive since things move around

Now what?
The game chews up memory quite quickly.
On quick start: 632mb
On my Green Beast save:

840mb
Using the red spawn ship (black in that save) to crash into it and chop it in half.
1,363mb. Game eventually runs out of memory and won't spawn any more debris but in fact will just delete things when they separate from the main ship.

Memory issues ruins crashing into big ships :(
So I can't finish my ship? I'm not even halfway in!
[QUOTE=Computrix;42669296]Working on my first serious ship for this game, the center of the ship's core room seems to have turned out nicely.

Some of you guys, like this, are showing off some seriously nice interiors that remind me of old first person shooter games that i've played. Mostly [I]avp gold[/I], though this one is very [I]Half life[/I].
I hope i can somehow make interiors from my favourite sci fi series. Stargate for instance had some seriously cool ships (and those cave formations could possibly mean that smooth/organic ship hulls are possible) I think this game has a lot more potential than starmade.
Making the ship from stargate would be awesome.

Just a little bit progress, game is starting to be really laggy and crashy. Not sure how far I can go, might have to remove some of the interiors.. hope it doesn't get to that. Still have to make wings and some other structures.

Everyone always thinks of [I]that[/I] ship. But now that i look at it... There's about eight floors at the front (the tallest part with rooms) and it's about 12 blocks wide at the front too.
Now remember it's size in comparison to every other ship (small) and compare it to the big boys.
[I]Now imagine how many blocks you'd need for a wraith hive ship. [/I]
Yep. Not feasible
The ships from [I]universe[/I] have the coolest interiors though.
Like I said before gotta make Stargate Universes Destiny. It looks so awesome and the interior is awesome too.

But looking at all of that detail to really replicate that it must be huge.
First large ship build, couldn't decide on a color so it goes unpainted

The idea is a missile destroyer. Fast, not particularly agile, but developed to get into a position quickly then wear down the enemy with accurate missile fire. Chaingun turrets are purely defensive and for use against enemy strike fighters or missiles.
Looking at it in picture form I can pick out parts that I already plan to improve. I'm going to add another layer to either side of the ship and round out the prow as well as extend the engines in the back and paint it overall. The missile turret placement is haphazard but the hitbox for the model is so large that it's impossible to create a real housing for it like I wanted. Overall plan is to make the ship longer but as it is I'm pretty happy with it.

My reflector lights don't seem to work, they're always off. How do you turn them on?

also, F1 opens the help menu
I'm not playing this much right now, but I'll probably put a few dozen hours into it the day weapons get enabled.
I want to build a big old pirate frigate and fire broadsides of missiles at the enemy :v:
While you guys are busy building ships, I believe I've made the smallest fully functional ship possible :v:

It almost fits inside a 1x1 space!

I guess it could be used as an escape pod or something
put a gun on it and use it to fly through the hallways of enemy ships like some horrifying attack drone. it'd be even funnier if small arms fire does no damage to ships, because then nobody could even do anything about it :v:

That's why I have minigun turrets inside my carrier's hanger, main control room and engine room. That, and to "discourage" any would be boarders.

help
since ramming tactics are always relevant, how effective do you think a boarding craft with the nose full of guns would be?
accelerate to ramming speed, fire all barrels at whatever you're attacking to weaken the hull, then smash through what's left with your own armored bow

I wrote a background to my boarding ship.
I suck at writing stories but at least it's something to do.

you could put guns on the inside too so you don't even need a boarding party, just ram and shoot
For a boarding ship, I would make a nose lance that has a downward point on the tip, then an open hallway below it, so the lance blows a hole in the enemy hull and absorbs most of the impact, then the open hallway runs into the gaping hole.
Like this:
