battlecruiser mk.9 (WIP)

I've been looking for proper dominance ship for quite some time. Something Planetary capable, not too big and autonomous. Also I'm a big fan of Starcraft universe.

Well, you know where it led me. It's a WIP project that took me about a month in and out to get to this stage. I tried to follow shapes of Hyperion as seen in SC2, but without insanity and with game performance in mind. I have a couple of mods here and will leave them for my playthroughs, but those mostly for aesthetics - cockpits and armored thrusters so far (could be replaced with usual ones).

Features in progress:
- Pleasing aesthetics - this thing should look sexy and scary at the same time. Interiors included

- Planet-capable - should be able to approach and hover at about 1000 m above any planet's surface to provide air superiority

- Autonomous refinery/medbay/production - enough refineries and assemblers to keep small land operation supplied. Enough Oxygen generators to keep it afloat given ice is supplied. If hydro engines are off it will fall and hit the ground at about 1 m/s.

- Usable interiors - multiple access points and landing pads to support ease of use for crew of 4 people - access to all facilities (cryo, weapons, crafting) and storage (for transports and personal use). Also I hate crawl spaces and will try to avoid those as much as possible.

- armament - enough firepower to fight off AI pirates and intruders of same/lower ship-classes. I plan to set conveyor points for excessive amount of turrets to allow mounting as much as necessary.

Any constructive ideas are welcome. If anyone has a nice server where I can start off from scratch to build this beauty in survival - PM me.

Shout out to another Battlecruisier build - this ship is smaller than mine (2/3) and features amazing work with lights:
