Judgement of Iron - Light Support Carrier (300m) No Mods

Description
Ship class: Light Support Carrier
Fleet Role: Provides transportation for light craft and supplies fleet/base with material production/gathering/stripping capabilities.

Survival ready(ish, you might need quite of an industry to produce one of these).

No mods, just grab the blueprint and you're good to go.
Also no pistons or rotors, no need to worry that the ship will combust and tear itself apart once you try to move it.

Statistics:
Ship length: 300m
Ship weight: 29 500 tons
Blocks: 27 485
Triagles: 3 620 036

3 major hangar areas:
1 heavy fighter/light frigate deck
1 utility craft deck
1 light fighter/utility craft deck


Contains:
2 Mining ships (in utility deck 1)
3 grinding ships (in utility deck 1)
3 welding ships (in utility deck 1)
3 fighters (in heavy fighter deck)

This ship is not rated for atmospheric entry/flight. However it has enough hydro thrusters to escape planet's gravity well at high altitude in case the ship enters planet's gravity well.

Part of the design comes from UNSC Infinty, a 5,6km long supercarrier from Halo -universe (which, in fact is currently in my blueprint plan once i get the interior layout off, scaled to aprox 2km in SE)

I also wanted to make this ship less claustrophobic than the usual "1x1 corridoors only" large ship designs- this ship feels and is *spacey*

If you feel like taking this blueprint and using it in your survival or just as target practice, feel free to do so! As it is not completely ready yet, there is still work for your group/you to do!

Red Ship in picture 1 is designed by Keen Software and is used as a show of scale only


The Ship is now "ready" in sense that i will not update it anymore (i have moved on into next "big" ship..), and i have begun working on medium carrier Light of Infinity, a 1.1km long carrier with ~40 launcher drones, 6 frigates and 2 cruisers, stay tuned for upcoming carrier of similliar visual design but over as thrice long!

Note: Due to it's size, and both due to the fact that it is vanilla and vanilla thrusters are not particularily strong, it is not the fastest ship in the fleet...

i am engineer. IRL. Automation/processing (electric) engineer. That means i have spent too much money on my computer. My game runs that ship at ~70fps.
Funnily enough when i use fraps it absolutely butchers frame rates. i must look into alternatives when i release the ship as i plan to make small introduction video for it.
It will carry ~40 "Ignis" interceptors, 6 "Praegis Lux" frigates, ~10 "Hammerhead" Bombers and 2 "Iron Wind" cruisers. Naturally all of those are non-remote controlled sensor-AI drones. plus assortment of engineerign and support craft.
All of those drones with the exception of "Iron Wind" can be found in my workshop

After that i might start working on actual supercarrier, as that ship is more of an actual carrier.

and i did take a look at your profile and your new carrier looks very interesting so i will follow its development

a bit bigger yeah exactly lol
1.1 km fuck meee
how would your pc even handle a ship this big??

Thanks!
I'm currently doing a tad bit bigger carrier, sneak peek pics in my profile, and i'm trying to integrate coloring into the ship. I personally like to keep the mods as few as possible, and the 1.16km carrier will only have 2 mods.
As space engineers does not have very extensive "living quarters" blocks, i have to improvise. And i love improvising, as it proves a challenge...
