[Outdated] Star Wars: Arturius1967's Venator Destroyer Refit V1.10

This blueprint is oudated, new version can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1613232342

READ FIRST: If you experience lags when the ship is turned on, it comes from the performance impact of all the lights turned on at the same time. Im working on a V2.0 with motion sensors that will fix this problem but it will take some time, you can press "T" to turn off every lights to fix it and still use it as it is.


Hello guys I'm here to present another replica from Star Wars, this time a capital vessel: the Venator star destroyer. I loved the model made by Arturius but the interior didnt had a SW feeling, it was more like a classical Empyrion vessel design in my opinion. So i decided to completly refit it from the shell of the ship, and change some details on the exterior with the permission of its original author of course.

Im not gonna talk about turret loadouts as its the same from the original blueprint, i've only replaced the plasma turrets on the side with artillery turrets, it makes the ship goes above the weapon limits but its more realistic imo.

Small update: noticed some texture were missing, i've fixed it if you see more please let me know :)

Exterior changes:

On the exterior part of the ship, a few things have change from the original version. I've just made the bridges window bays larger, added some windows here and there and added a big new set of shutter doors to copy the behavior of the dorsal hangar doors of the ships in the movies. On the purely cosmetic part, I've changed the bridges colors to their alternative red painting.


New Interior Architecture:

To design the new interior, I've mostly took inspiration from Star Wars old games I've played (KOTOR I&II, Dark Forces serie, Jedi Academy...) and the few interior pics and plans of the Venator available online. The new interior is devided into 7 different levels with a sublevel 2B, the Main Hangar Bay being the level 0 and the Bridges the level 7 that are accessed by two series of turbolifts.

Logic System:

This ship also houses a lot of different logic systems: you can open and close the dorsal shutter doors via a lever situated in the port bridge, the reactor can be opened to access warp tank and drive via two levers, ... But the main logic system is the "docked ships tracking system": via a set of red flares, it lets you know from the port bridge if a ship is docked to one of the 8 hangar bays or one of the 12 docking pads from the main hangar bay control room. Ex: if the flare labeled "1" is turned on, a ship is docked on pad 1.

WARNING: Don't cross the laser detector situated above each docking pad or you'll reset the logic system. If you do it by accident, its gonna turn off the red flares, you just have to undock and dock again the vessel to debug it.

All meant-to-be compatible vessels are listed in "Required Elements " even if they're absolutely not required, other SV may work aswell but its just that its not guaranteed. I've modified very slightly the ETA-2 and the V-Wing replicas by Arturius again to make them compatible with the docking pads.

The ship is so huge i may have forget to texture some parts or so, if you find anything please let me know in the comments.

Changelog:
-V1.1:
_Added more O² tanks so now you actually fill the interior with oxygen.
_Added ventilator in areas that didnt had oxygen.
_Fixed some missing textures here and there.
