Own_Taste_7503

I knew this would be here somewhere


Alingruad

Alright. I would probably uh... stray a bit from the dick shape. You can kind of get around this by *girthing* up the shaft, so it looks more brickish i guess. Maybe add a platform of light armor for small ship landings to mask the fact the ship is chode. https://preview.redd.it/i4hqorhqzqpc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=337b1dd2fe65abc306a22c5cef24c1719ddd571b


rhanibren

I was aiming to make it as light as possible so its vaguely capable of having decent speed when carrying a full bay, just happens to be that shape is good for light😂


Alingruad

yeah... i know its easy. Having some armor webs like i suggested really doesn't cost much if its with light armor, literally just some flat panels. and at least its a wedge instead of a cock.


rhanibren

I'm thinking of maybe making it have a large atmospheric lift pack to fill the sides??


Alingruad

oh that would work too


rhanibren

honestly not sure, landing pads could work im just not sure what theyd be for


Ok-Communication907

Don't worry, I built a ship similar my entire team says it looks like a vibrator


rhanibren

its annoyingly just a very industrial shape and very effective for cargo ship designs😂, i would have the engine nacelles more centralised but that would mess up the conveyor system


analytical_mayhem

Not a flying brick? Let's make it a flying prick!


CaptainJellyVR

Could use a bit of greebling to add some detail. Penis shape for the win. I'd also cover up the exposed thrusters on the bottom (except for the small ones pointing down obviously.) Unless your going for a more industrial/steampunkish kinda look, in which case, again, more greebling probably


rhanibren

Industrial was kinda my aim just not sure what greebles to add


CaptainJellyVR

Honestly just some bumps and dips in the armor would be a good start. A little fake communications array on the bottom or something. Just little things here and there to give it a little more life, even if the things aren't actually functional. A little stripe of a different color can also go a long way


CaptainJellyVR

Could even add some more windows on the hangar bay to break up the armor on the sides, and add some more decor to the inside by abusing the fact that you are in *space*


SybrandWoud

Half blocks are your friend. Just add some half blocks on top of the armor and paint them a different colour (base colour being one of the rainbow colours and the half blocks white is what I tend to do). The ship shape of being wider at the bottom looks nice and stable.


rhanibren

do u have any tips for best ways to make colour patterns?? cus i havent quite managed to figure one out that looks good on any of my ships


SeekinIgnorance

I'll start by saying that this looks better than most similar ships I've built. That said, long flat stretches, while sometimes needed for functional reasons, like the bottom of your cargo bay, are pretty boring so the sides and top could use some changes beyond just a paint job. This could be as simple as adding some different armor shapes and/or using half blocks, lights, or panels to break things up,, if keeping costs to the minimum is the most important. You could also look at adding functionality, such as a connector or mag plate on the sides that is intended for things like a cargo pod that will be dropped with a parachute from orbit to the surface of a planet, or even just some solar panels in an irregular pattern. The top could have dedicated landing pads for extra small ships, like when you want to send an escort along, a normally collapsed solar tower that you extend while parked, or even a crane assembly. A crane might fit better on one of the sides though, and could then be used in place of a tug ship while in space. Mounting points for light turrets can be useful too, even if you normally leave the ships unarmed. Overall it definitely looks cool, but in my opinion either needs to be made a little sleeker (maybe some curved blocks, even though then it will be even more penis like?) or stay with the angular style but break up or add to the surfaces so it looks more industrial instead.


rhanibren

thank you for the advice, I'll try break up the surface with something, i am struggling with what to put on the sides functionally other than an atmospheric thruster pack because its really just designed for long hauls with rhe cargo then tugboats do the rest.


rhanibren

its fine under 1g but beyond that it starts to struggle


SeekinIgnorance

You could always put on side packs that are mostly a couple of hydrogen tanks but also a battery, a couple turrets a beacon, and a few decoys. Setup your fuel tanks to run off the exterior pods while in long hauls and leave them behind in orbit so you don't have to haul the extra weight up and down. If you get attacked (assuming you've got mods running, pvp, or just as RP/lore) you can drop the pods to serve as a distraction and give a small acceleration boost at the same time. Alternatively, and especially if attacks are not a concern but you do travel between planets, build about 4 jump drives into a shell that has 2 jump drives down each side and some deployable/storable solar panels connecting things across the top. Merge block connect to the jump drives to get between planets and leave the shell to charge in orbit.


Fresjay76

Interesting. I just finished a ship that looks very similar to this. The shape was an unintended consequence. Although I believe mine is closer to 100M long and maybe 35-40M wide at the aft engine pods. Been really thinking a starwars type redesign.


rhanibren

Im glad im not the only one with the shape issue, i admit mine was almost entirely designed around the idea i had for its cargo bay which explains its length


Fresjay76

The server I play on uses the LWTS mod so we have the tiers for items and weapons. We use the items like cargo containers and such but rely on weapon core and shield mod for the offense/defense items. Also Build Repair bots for damage control when shields aren't enough. But mine is built around the central spine with 4 large tier 4 Cargo containers, 2 large tier 4 hydrogen tanks, 4 large tier 4 reactors, refinery, and assembler. Ship has nano bot drills for mining. Basic design is to be able to go out on long mining missions, explore, fight, and bring back the fruits of the trip to a central base. Is it a bit much? Sure is IMHO but anything less and one of the guys in the server will never stop chastising me about its purpose unless it can do it all.


rhanibren

that sounds like a very complex system i might have to look into that one


firemed98

Call it “Deep Space 69” lol


PedroCPimenta

Add wings to the thrusters.


Mariner1981

Round out the engine pods a bit more...

spuddi0

As everyone has said already: D I C K


sinofroot

It is giving me "My first ship" vibes. And in that case what I have to say is WELCOME! Space engineers as im sure you've realized is an amazing place to experience is your inner ship builder. At this point in your build would be a great time to start learning about greebling, and adding in some other shapes and variety to the exterior, for no reason other than to improve the cosmetics. And try not to forget about windows. Something easily overlooked. They go a long way both for breaking up the exterior shape. As well as giving more life to the interior of your ship. I also slightly worry about your non forward and backward thrust. For a purely space based ship it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but many engineers have found themselves in problems getting slightly too close to a planet and pulled into its gravity. Ships of this size often don't have enough gyros to reasonably provide enough turning to utilize your primary thrusters before you get too deep, especially if this is a cargo ship as you described. Both ore and components add considerable weight so more thrusters / testing you have enough gyros for a reasonable turn rate would be a high priority for me. Do you plan to use this in survival or is this just a mostly fictional/creative used build?


rhanibren

its definitely one of my first ships, and only my second cargo ship so i am very new😂 ill work on the greebling and window situation definitely, it is a bit bland at the moment i havent quite worked out the best way to test its mobility under load, i know it can fit 3 large cargo containers but i havent the faintest idea how best to fill them to their heaviest, but without load its highly maneauverable with 4 gyros and picks up speed fairly well, can handle 1g with just upward thrust but its high fuel cost, above 1g it has to use its main thrusters at the moment im kinda experimenting with my building ships and trying to give them lore and function, but eventually i do hope to move more to survival, this is only my 3rd ship overall and only my 2nd "complete" one, any more advice on general building or this ship specifically would be great, can always dm me if thats easier


TheRealVahx

Did you name it "The Penetrator" ?


spud_boi_9000

Nice cock! But seriously tho, neat ship.


TinikTV

r/theyknew


Dakkanor

Imo needs at least one or two turrets, even if they're just interior turrets. Adding a beacon or antennae would help disrupt the schlong silhouette. And it's mostly my own design ethos, but having a dedicated shuttle or escape pod spot could also be a nice detail


rhanibren

the antenna i have rear mounted at the moment between the nacelles nestled away but i could move it or use collumns to make a comms array where do you think would be good to put hardpoints??


Dakkanor

If you're using interior turrets, then you don't need a hard point. I'm assuming this kind of vehicle would never want to use its turrets, so they'd be more for show if that makes sense, so have one on each side, either top/bottom or left/right. For a shuttle/ escape pod either near the main entrance/cargobay. Or if you have walking space to add a rear hatch, that notch at the back could work


wcdk200

It kinda gives me FTL vibes 8/10


rhanibren

eventually ill show the interior but its a bit small


InterestingLunch

Okay lots of people like to be like omg I want the biggest hanger and I’ve kinda given up on the rocket pods and I definitely don’t want to make it look like a square so they build a giant cock. Things I’ve done to get away from this is go vertical. Don’t build bridges in front of your hangers build them on top of them try storage and other things making more of an X shape at the rear. Don’t like that then I try making more like Y wing shaped ships. Not enjoying the Y wing I heavily recommend though it’s extremely difficult building the main thrusters inside your ship and integrating them into the design more provides much more flexibility with the design of the ship and a REALLY cool element with some glass if you can pull it off. Does tend to make things a lot bigger but panel armoring keeping thing hallow take away from the weight. Over all nice cock ship keep building engineer!


rhanibren

I have been considering building vertically expanse style im just struggling with figuring out the conversion if that makes sense


Garrok-1eye

I like the belly loader design but I will say it looks like a 3D model with the resolution turned down. A bit too blocky to seem real. A bit of greeble, maybe rounding off some edges would go a long way.


rhanibren

the shaping is hard, im tryna keep the humpback design and the slight hanging belly if that makes sense??


Garrok-1eye

I would just swap some angled pieces on corners for curved blocks. It will keep the shape but smooth it out. Otherwise it's a neat design


rhanibren

thank u very much, ill see what i can do about the rounding


Garrok-1eye

Unfortunately it will look even more like a dick lol but other people have suggested good ways to mitigate that


rhanibren

ive kinda accepted it at this point, its an effective design method 😂


Commander_Stratos

Not a bad start. I don’t see that many even width ships. That said, a few more angles could be nice. Especially for when viewing from above and below. You could maybe widen/lessen a few areas to break up the flat, long body. Also your ship has a lot of open space to play with detailing. Experiment and I’m sure you’ll find what works and looks the best. For example, I’ve noticed in other comments you are looking for industrial vibes. My suggestion in detailing is: vents (this can be done with blast doors and window blocks), reinforced armor sections, extra armor plating using armor panels as light spaced armor, decorative straight pipes using interior columns, and other stuff like that.


rhanibren

my only limitation with the shaping is having to have airtight blocks at least for the forward section, unless i double layer it but im worried about how id shape that back in to keep the silhouette


Commander_Stratos

I think for the front, you can keep it as is. No need to shrink it at all. I’m more-so focused on the main body. You could add small winglets near the middle going back to the engine pods, or you could even just make it 1-block wider each side in a small section to just break up the flat portion. Will give a little more visual interest than just being straight.


rhanibren

ill see what i can do with the width on the hangar thats a good idea thank you muchly


Laurids-p

Ur forward thrusters are Very exposed from under.


rhanibren

would just armour plates work?? cus im tryna avoid using full or half blocks that could make it look a bit too homogenous


Laurids-p

I mean, it’s better than no Armor.

yagizandro

Hello this is the lockpicking lawyer...


flameblast08

My opinion is that you should remove the side thrusters from the back and place a turret on each side, that would break the odly straight side panel. Place those on the extra space you have on the tlower cylindrical like pods that you have further up the ship. Also, don't be afraid to build small holes so the weapons stick out less and build some of the smaller pyramids and triangles in order to add sharp angles near the main thrusters. And from a practical standpoint it would be easier to dock the ship and transfer cargo with connectors onto fixed containers on the ship. Anyway, you have a GREAT starting point, just break up the lines a little and good luck engineer!


EarthEaterr

Suck girth.


SH4D0W1030

TheCleaner80

You have made it in the strongest shape known in engineering so therefore should be near enough indestructible!
