HMS Raven - Aircraft Carrier

Greetings fellow engineers, I have created something far beyond the medieval time period!

Introducing the HMS Raven Class Aircraft Carrier!

Block Count - 3561

Needless to say, this blueprint requires mods to be downloaded. Also as our could imagine this small block ship has a large block count which is why I chose to use the small block plank walls to create a lot of the ships hull.

This beast of a ship can serve pretty much any purpose with the main being to obviously carry and launch aircraft of any kind, tested using Peaceman's "Orion IV Fighter Plane'' you are able to take off the deck and fly fine!... However due to my poor piloting skills landing is a lot more difficult.

In comparison to real carriers this one may appear a little small, but I tried to keep it that way so it doesnt appear to extend over the planets curve and raise the block count even higher than it already is.

The ship does have an lower space which I have put a basic food and sleeping rooms, you can expand or add more rooms just by removing the plank panels to reveal the hollow insides.

TIPS ON SAILING:

- Little vid attached showing the process of starting

- Ensure both rear engines are rotating the correct way, if ship doesnt move this could be why.

- Turning is difficult, a rudder system was not an option for what I was going for, you will have to either have a crew and coordinate between bow and stern engines or stop and run to other end to turn... Or just pull around with rope ;)

- Controlling cables for rear engines only reach to the flight tower/ bridge.

- Slowly accelerate with lose objects like planes to avoid Clang or stuff going overboard.

- Ship may turn slightly to the right, this can be avoided though differential thrusting of the rear engines.


SPECIAL THANKS
To all the modders out there that make this stuff possible.
