My Space Ship

[detsuo04]

Basically what i decided to make a super large spaceship full of wiring and tons of features.
As it is now i would say its 25% to 30% complete. I just wanted to show it to you guys and get input on what you think i should add.

Features Status Remaining Work

3 Flore Elevator --------------- Complete N/A

Warp Drive ------------------- 90% Aesthetic Touch ups / Welding

Alert System ----------------- 90% Red Alert Control

Shuttle Bay------------------- 30% Wire/ Grabbers / Control System

Emergency reroute ---------- Complete N/A

Bridge ------------------------ 50% Most of the Control panels


Below is a Pic of the Main Computer (WIP) the elevator, and the life support systems. all of which are in engineering
i have been working on this for just 2 days and if anyone can think of stuff that would be good in a mother ship, please share and i will try to add it

Wow, thats a big ship

I can imagine how laggy it is in multiplayer (is it?)

Can you post outdoors pictures ?

[detsuo04]

ya, you defiantly can't use it in multiplayer. And i have all the rooms in place but i don't have the outer shell yet so it still looks ugly on the outside. I'm gonna add a lot more systems to it also. I'm just making a big toy really.

This is about 2 days of solid work. if you have any ideas for extra systems, please let me know and i will add them. when the ship is finished i will post the adv dupe and the owners manual

Great ship! Looks great, and I ccan't wait untill the adv dup/save comes out

[detsuo04]

I still can't think of what I need to do with the 3rd floors.

I got the bridge and a shuttle bay and enganeering section.

Any ideas?

[kymagic]

Medical bay?
Resource storage?

Hmmmmm. The idea of building a huge mother ship is just what I like!!! On www.garrysmod.org/downloads, (I think,) there is this guide on building war ships. I think it is really cool! You should download it and see if it helps you! I think your ship could use weapons. The big gcombat gun is immpressive, and fits your ship perfactly. When you're done, pls. put the ship on www.garrysmod.org/downloads so others can get it!!!




P. S. I was the one who wrote the guide.

What else?

Split-off sections (To split the ship into two or more pieces, but each piece needs its own systems).
Drop pods (For planetary assaults).
Escape pods (For obvious reasons).
Boarding pods (Like a drop pod, but for use in space. Fire one at a weakly welded point in the enemy's hull, and if the pod is going fast enough...).
Explosive pods/Weapon pods (The weapon pods are basically remote-controlled spacecraft covered in deadly weapons, the explosive pods roughly the same, but filled/covered in explosives).
Weapons control room.

(If all else fails, I suppose you could attach weapon pods to the side of the ship that you could either board and eject from the main ship, or control remotely by sitting in a specific chair and doing it that way.)

I'll assume you're sticking all sorts of vehicles in the hangar, to allow you to take on all comers on all terrain.

And of course, you'll need weapons on the interior. Got to prevent boarding, after all...

Ive got Automated LS and Shields in my ship. Like if there is air in the atmosphere the air compressors turn on. If the tanks are full the generators turn off. If LS drops below a certain value the generators kick back in.
And an automated docking clamps. (If the other ship gives the right code the docking clamps lock on and drag there ship into the docking bay)
Taken me a while to set most of that up.
Maybe you can implement some of these ideas into ur ship.

As said above the split off section is nice i once made a ship with 5 rooms if something damaged I would hit a button and it would shoot the section off (deactivation Weld-Latches thrusting it away) and then a door dropped down for safety reasons its very easy a non reverting latch and 2 - 3 gates or expression chip
