- Boy did this take me a long time to build, procrastination got me good there. I've started building before the warfare 2 update already. But it's finally and I gotta say, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The video about how I actually built it with all the in progress stages will be out in a week or so.
You can find the ship on the workshop here:

Here's the other ships I've showed in the video:

I have a feeling someone will say how this ship "isnt large" and how "Ive built bigger ones", but to me this is a large ship, and also I appreciate how much time and detail is in it.
Just trying to power and build anything above 250 meters in length in survival mode is a feat of its own right. Let alone other than just being a glorified ore carrier, like a fully functioning battle cruiser is either a statement of power or how stupid you are on a server. And it's an absolutely beautiful sight to watch such a beauty prevail or become Clang material admist battle.
Everything's relative I suppose. I think thats HUGE, but I live in small grid
Someone else might but not me. I would never build a ship this large or so poorly thought out. It's the kind of thing you build and never take into combat. This is the spaceship form of the Maus/IS-7/T95. They're all impressive on paper, but not very useful in reality.
People in this game mistake gargantuan and colossal craft for the "standard big" while they would realistically be the exception, I myself usually build with realistic levels of size and imo it feels just better :)
Looks awesome, functionality and performance are well over the size the ship needs to be, and when it still has the firepower to back it up, you can just let the guns do the talking.
I'd say the overall feel of the ship gives it a light cruiser vibe due to it's lack of *BIG BONK BAZOONGA* at the front. While the other two forms you made look more like light carrier and destroyer/gunship.
Next step: Heavy carrier! The mothership of the group, leading it's armada of drones to victory!
Also the ship without the shell around it kind of looks like a skeleton that moves around XD
Here is a stupid idea: put ai blocks inside this ship and make it the escort for the carrier
What an absolute beautiful ship, I can’t wait to load it in game. Reminds me of the hurricane from EVE, nevertheless, awesome work!!
I thought the same thing.
Nah, not Cane but Sleip...
I am a fan of Outlands and had a minor heart attack when I saw the fuel & magazine set up. This ship is a few shots from an impressive explosion. It looks like that might just be the trade-off though, for fitting that many guns and an interior
its more about the first design. Sure with a few more hours he would maybe make it even usable for pvp and longer brawls.
Also: it always depends on the tactical usage, if you got that many guns and sleak design, you might just use it as a breacher.
Imo Outlands is cool, i follow Brocks channel for years now and i love what they do especially what they learn and show.
BUT ... they always play classic naval battle. Fleet Red vs Fleet Blue, not tactical space battles. That surely is also given to the limitations of space engineers, speed and armor materials etc. are always the same. But they made rules for their ships and fleets like in a boardgame, thats absolutely cool gameplay and also a perfect testing environment for building fleets.
On the other hand i hate it when people find some meta and rely on it. Ya never got rolled by a spaceball? :D
By that Concept, an Orb with internal thrusters and outside as many guns as it can fit with spread out magazines for weapon sections and redundant supply from the center etc. is the most effective ship. Its confusing the enemy and easy to build. IF you get to much damage at one side, just present another one and repair the damaged.
Having played in outlands, I can tell you that some of the ships are just as squishy as this one
@@commanderbeaver Like, newer ships? Or ones which were designed pre Warefare 2?
@@PaintedBirds pre warfare 2. I know that they've re designed and evolved the design philosophy a fair bit. There were ships that were squishier than others. I did face an enemy fleet with a CL and few it until there was a single thruster left, well past what the ships designer thought it could handle.
I hadn't the time to keep up, or make more than a few recordings so I had to duck out of the Riders.
Your ship is good bro
Beautiful ship! Can definitely see its IMDC legacy, but as always, you took it to the next level with detailing. Excellent job!
Awesome battleship! When in command with a beauty like this, I would first expose her starboard artillery first then rotate to port site. No exactly 90 degrees to the enemy but sufficient to deliver most firepower possible to him/them. Then I would finish with a 30-45 deg inclination to the enemy ship to make her dorsal guns give a nice mercy strike on him/them. And as a tip, try to place the dorsal and ventral weapons on different levels like steps on a staircase to avoid one blocking each one field of view (as sea combat ships do). You'll notice the huge diference at the amount of shells/shots delivered per second just by charging into your enemies by doing so...
Wow, this is great. This might not be the "largest" ship but the level of detail is insane. Anyone can make a large ship but you are one of the only people I've seen that has been able to bring an immense amount of detail in a ship of this size. Plenty of guns too! 👍👍 king of spengies 👑
Look so good, I'm really impressed. Gives me so many good ideas, just starting a hover atmosphere craft and this video and ship gets the juices flowing!
I see you really went for a broadside style combat ship with this. Also the inside layout is very easy to get around and no getting lost. Im a big fan of carriers myself, and with some Weaponcore mods now having drones it really fits more that im taking an old Nidhoggur(from Eve Online) blueprint and resizing it and bringing it up to date to use in combat in my current world.
Thanks for the showcase, gave me a lot of inspiration. When you showed the ship skeleton, really gave me an idea on building and the very first ship I built after watching turned out really well.
Can't wait for the breakdown step by step, inspiring yet again thank you !👍
Feels a little, like you half-apologize for every second dicision, you made...."whatever, I dunno..." you really don't need to do that. I started following you, because you create awesome stuff. Like your style and I keep coming back to your videos for inspiration. Keep it going! 👍
Just saw this on my feed and I love the design. Please keep up the great work!
Wow very Cool. thx for Sharing.
That is a really neat cruiser. Nice job!
Nice ship and cheer up buddy!
I love your design language and color choices in all your ships. The raised armor panels look very excitingly chunky and contoured on yours and other ships -- I'll admit I'm a sucker for them. But they can be a liability in combat. I can see from your sample fight that a lot of the opening shots hit the same grid on the raised armor; in a survival game, wastes ammo and in any creative or survival fight reduces effective firing rate as the turrets have to wait more often for a shot to enter their limited firing arc. You would need to angle the nose of the ship obliquely, putting the enemy target several points off the bow in order to give the turrets the elevation they need to clear the gray armor or raised blue/white armor panels.
Not taking anything away from what you made. Just making an observation on how to fight the ship as it is. This doesn't account for any revision ideas that would significantly change the design of the ship, such as horizontal or vertical superfiring turret layouts (with the ultimate logical extension being the death pyramids in the Starcore tournaments). There are creative aesthetic ships, functional meta ships, and crossover ships with a bit of both.
Love your designs. Your ships look fantastic and realistically functional.
I'm really thankful for these videos since it somehow made building ships way easier and making them seem somewhat decent ever since I adopted your style although I don't really follow the filling everything part and then hollowing everything out again.
Oh man I would love to live in that ship, I really love the detail and placement of the rooms!
This ship is amazing! I love the design, good work!
looks great man
This is by far one of the most visually and aesthecially beautiful ships I've ever seen, the level of detail and the color palette really make this ship eye candy
Great work bro! Very good taste.
Perfect ship, a good work, well done!)
this design is so awesome!
i love your shipbuilding style. Its very consistent and is one of the best looking that i have seen. I also love the scale of your ships, they arent monumental like some others but the big ones are big without losing the nice functional detail possible with smaller builds.
This is an amazing ship!
one of the best looking ships ive seen this far. amazing
Congrats man, it's a beautiful one.
That's a real nice looking ship wow!
Good job!
This is awesome!
It's gorgeous. And not insanely huge. Well done!
what a great looking ship, love the blue color
now THIS is a broadsiding BEAST
very beautiful ship!
"speaking of crashing..."
man I was not expecting you to just gun it lmao
This just popped up in my recommendations and I instantly recognized it from a friend using it on a server.
I do like the design, it reminds me of the ACI-Ships a bit
Small issue: At least on our version there were some non-airtight spots, especially around the rear
Beautiful :)
For anyone saying this ain't large, this is pretty big for a ship that is as functional as this is. It's not the best for the size, but definitely one of the most useful- and beautiful ones out there to this date.
What beautiful design
Interior is great. This style suits to even bigger projects
a beautiful shape, I love it
Definitely gonna build this as soon as I can
took me an moment to realise how big this ship actualy is. and that its quite an bit bigger then anything I have made, let alone look way better. I absolutely love this thing makes me jelous I cant make things this good myself XD
I will def play with it on an world. explore all the nooks an cranies. test the dakka against other ships
Looking forward to the build video :D
In before it gets a shark-jaw
@@taidyr3765 RR transfer when ;)
Looks cool
Ohh!
What a beauty :D
Vers Nice work. Congratulations
This ship has a pretty sweet Homeworld vibe. I like it :D
hello Jon. thank you for the klang drive tech: I am using it to build an even Bigger Capital ship.
though you will always be the better builder, thank you for being a pioneer with tech i cannot begin to comprehend.
Also all of these ship versions are lovely
I love the design. You've probably already had someone say this, but I feel that the third dorsal turret from the front could be elevated a little bit like the ones behind it for a better field of fire.
I enjoy your vids, personally i can barely manage a decent looking small grid ship much less a large grid lol, your vids give me inspiration when it comes to the visual shell, my biggest issue is deciding what modules to put in so I really appreciate where you showcase the conveyor systems great help
ngl i do kinda like the idea of designing ships with weakpoints with the idea hitting them makes the destruction really cool. you could even make a pvp ruleset around that where ships have to be designed around intentional weakpoints
That ship is absolutely amazing, the interior looks like something from star citizen.
Cool hurricane!
I don't even play spacegineers so i dunno why is this in my recommended but damn that's a fine ass ship.
I love the design of the blue part and the coloring or the different parts.
First Impressions: Very beautiful ship, really nice interior layout and so many external hard points for weapon customizability. I really like it.
I would say, as others have said here, it is a light cruiser class. With the ability to enhance it with a weaponry refit to turn it into a heavy cruiser imo.
It is definitely a broadside engagement style, not so good at frontal assault, a kind of ship of the line tactical approach to combat seems the best way. Fly right at your target, unload the rail gun array at them and quickly turn port or starboard to present your full broadside.
The 100% dependance on hydrogen for thrust is a weakness though, this thing ever runs out fuel and it's just a drifting hulk. I always try to incorporate a few backup Ions to allow me to RTB on fuel loss. Even if they can only make you crawl back.
I would also add a couple more cargo containers and in the hanger bay a connector to land on with some underfloor repair welders. I'd probably put in a small RC mining ship into this bay to mine ice with to refuel in deep space.
The design of the ship reminds me of Eve Online's Hurricane. Very cool ship :)
Impressive work! How long have you been building this ship?
These ships are beautiful! Just seeing them I feel proud of you!
Hmmm, how do you get those outlines? Is that a mod?
Nice, very nice.
i always love the design of the different colored armor plates on the Black/gray skeleton. almost like a Mech
very very nice:)
And an other great looking and decent ship from you! Thank you so much for sharing it! Is it me or you're using an animation to make the ship look cartoonish in the beginning could you share how you do that please?
Nice looking ship! Nearly 10,000 blocks definitely is a very large ship by my standards too.
The armor panels are a really good idea as they add depth and detailing to the ship while being simple, they also offer spaced armor
The only downside being, like you said, they are a pain to make
WOAH I really like the wide version! Any chance you could upload that one too?
I'm useless at actually committing to finishing ships, I've got a whole world of 20-50% ships scattered all around. This however, a work of art
I love the GlaDos lamp
i woiuld've loved to see the damage being done to the ship from the interior but your ship is rly cool either way
Loved the video @Major John! Can't wait for the next video man! I just thought I'd come by since I saw a video on @Stratus Gaming's UA-cam channel of his friend MC Arbiter's Northeast Heavy Industries Fleet. One of the Ships was Built for your Clang Cannon as well.
Also, I have a Name Suggestion for this Ship.... How does the Brawler-class Light Cruiser (Insert Faction here) Brawler sound?
Id recommend making sure a majority of your turrets can fire at one target (preferably the one your engaging with), right now most of your turrets cant fire forward and im pretty sure autocannons also cant aim at 90 degrees angle vertical (i know artys cant), so this ship also likely cant broadside very well due to this limitation
One thing you did well on the turrets however is making them at least somewhat armored, most ships i see have unarmored turrets (although when the autocannons tried firing forward one of the barrels was empty while the other wasn’t, so half of the rounds blew themselves up on your ship, also put a welder or two on each turret, it majorly increases longevity even without a projector)
Id also recommend separating your hydro tanks, my old ships that dont have separated tanks are flying warheads waiting for a single railgun to destroy any of the tanks, blast doors are more than enough to stop the explosion in my experience
I find the color scheme to be very... hiigaran ! A beautiful ship !
really nice design on all your ships !
have you removed the skybox and run in empty space ?
Why does space engineers look so good in that interior showcase? are you using visu Al mods?
god job, nice model? how much time in total did you spend on this model?
Thing looks like its a meant to get down in the thick of it and I love it
this is what I would call an experimental design an x if you will. It as if a team got together to design the next generation starship with a specific set requirements to meet. The next one off the line would no doubt shed requirement that aren't actually well required. One thing I would do to improve its capability as a war ship would be to remove a capability, it planetary capability. Replace most of the hydro thrusters with ion while keeping a few at the back for increased acceleration, and switch out the tanks for more mags and reactors.
I like that ship ^.^
how are you guys having the time to make these... it takes me 1 whole day to just think about the design.
Omg I love this ship if I could have one ship irl it would be this
that a good ship I like it
nice
very nice.. only thing i would do switch out a few assault turrets for gatts...
I love using this against pirate stations
@Major Jon The other 2 blue and grey ships in the video, the hammerhead variation and the one with the big front hanger, will you put them up on the workshop too?
Building purposely flaws into the design just proves the designers capability. :P
Would love to get a carrier BP version of this ship
She's a beauty... as always.
The variations look amazing! Are you using any visual mods? The testing world looks more animated and the walk through look more realistic or are you just running SE on higher graphics settings?. Might just be me.
reshade postprocessor. I use it for the grey background and slim black borders around the meshes, and then for depth of field and some more stuff in the walkthrough.
this ship looks like it belongs in X4 more than space engineers good job
then it would only have the command bridge
I never played this game but it reminnds me of the reptiloid titan ship type in stellaris
It looks good, but it also looks like the turrets have a problem with shooting the ship they're attached to instead of the ships they're targeting. I'd raise them with some sort of half block connector, if that's something that exists.
From what I understand SE grids need to below 1k blocks for stable performance. As 1k is the maximum for a 1 tick physics update.
On the one hand, I love videos like this, because the creativity is truly inspirational. On the other hand, I hate them, because they remind me that my designs are such trash. 🖖😀
Cute little frigate lol
Anyone know what map he's using to show it off? Looks like a good map just for building stuff without the graphics card going nuts.
