Space mining is fucking cool
[editline]26th May 2013[/editline]
I'm not so good with big stuff but I'll contribute a few modules later.
*Scrubbed*
The design I made was intended as a war ship, but I can alter things if you don't like the current role.
It was to be:
Top wing would be Security/Armory, Shield Gens (Fore&Aft), Photon Torpedos and Phaser Array I;
Front would be Command;
Front-Core would be Barracks/Mess Hall/Living Space;
Bottom-Front would be Phaser Array II and Hangar;
Mid-Core would be... the Core. Derp;
Bottom-Mid would be Botany, Hydroponics and Science;
Top-rear would be Engine array one, warp drive;
Mid-rear would be Engineering, Storage;
Bottom-rear would be impulse drive control, storage II;
So far it seems we'll be going for mining role.

I have a different layout in mind, something entirely different than that set up. I will post my ideas tomorrow, if you don't mind me completely disregarding your ship design :P
So long as there is a working security system and atmospheric control for the AI to get cuddly with, I have no issues with the ship's role.
Wait wait, here's an idea. We make the mining laser the central focus and build everything around it.

So it'd be like build a planet and invade eachother but it's more cooperative and serious?
[QUOTE=Sims_doc;40785326]Maybe we should focus on less of a single ship and more on sperate ships with interiors. So, We would be a fleet of vessels made up of warships, mining, science and various other small vessels. Exploring the stars together.
Too re-enforce this i would suggest users can't edit other users ships, No attacking other vessels things such as that.[/QUOTE]
This would be interesting, to say the least. I would rather go with this.
It's really up to you guys.

Ok, let's vote again.
Agree for one ship per focus (Eg 1 ship per thread or move on to a new ship once the other one's done)
Disagree for multiple ships in fleets per thread.

Welp, since the majority has voted on multiple ships, I have completed the USG Ishimura myself (Although now a warship), and nominate it as the fleet's capital ship:

Being the super-expensive and state of the art capital ship that it is, the USG Ishimura is provided with a prototype Artificial Intelligence unit. It's features include telling the crew obvious information, opening doors that people shouldn't really have access to, and getting blamed for every technological problem that the ship has.

We are making seperate ships, but I'm just going to be piggybacking off of Milk's ship by adding useful crew members.
Added a captain, and attached security crew to the Ishimura.

Update on the status of my mining ship, the Vortex Rikers

Upsized and remodeled the USS Ishimura.
It's a proper capital ship now.
God damn, once we've all contributed a few ships it's gonna be a sexy looking fleet.
Let's take down Goonswarm with our 2D paint ships!

Made myself a drone, will work on a launch bay or carrier or some shit.

For comparison, this almost fits inside the Ishimura's main cannon.
Sweet, feel free to park that thing in the Ishimura docking bay
Working on the Vortex Rikers

Added some all purpose service drones to assist with maintenance and general security. They are equipped with an adaptive tool system, as well as a direct up-link with the AI. They can act as mobile security cameras and will also use non-lethal electrode guns (tasers) when the ship is in a code red situation.

Added a few of these fun little robots to the USS Ishimura. They will also be added to other ships in the fleet once they are completed.
Currently modifying the Ishimura (The longer one by Milkdairy) into a space carrier. Removing cannon, upgrading engine (different colour = more powah, duh), mechanizing oxygen system and incorporating an armoury to supply the fighter drones.
