For a ship that is now closing on 6 years old, this one stands the test of time. Beautiful, but the block count is beyond usable. Even painting everything the same color and combining, still about 37000+ blocks. Single player ship only. Gorgeous one. Servers no likey.

This isn't a frigate, it's a fucking cruiser lol. It's massive.

keep up the amazing work,

Oh hey look, a TDS ship!

pretty but 2 many blocks

...am I trippin' or did you model the INTERIOR of those bays?

this is similar and should be on Fractured space

Also if you decrese this ship's size to .8 or .755 of its original you have an amazingly responsive and manuverable ship!

OH and place auto-fire turrets on at least the bottom to avoid ackward angles cause by trying to manually shoot all the guns...possible but you will be constantly turning...

This would be my favorite ship if it was not for the "ESS "Sol Novus" Destroyer [6-Slot]". I used this as my flagship in one of my games at 6 times the size leading a fleet of 6 ESS "Sol Novus" Destroyer [6-Slot] as-is subscription and then 4 ESS "Sol Novus" Destroyer [6-Slot] at twice the size! A fleet-force to be reckoned with once Xanion/Ogonite/Avorion! Amazing stuff and I learned your technique which is very similar to my own! w00t! awesome stuff!

Going to publish some of my own stuff in the near future...fun stuff!

Wonderful ship, unfortunately anything over ~15k block count creates server lag... especially in combat.

I would love to see a pirating ship from you, something with some good cargo for all the stolen goodness

This ship has been absolutely incredible for me so far. I just wish it had some cargo space ive had to pass up a couple very lucrative missions because I cant haul anything

haha yeah i can imagine that. this frigate on scaling 2.0 already drops fps to 1 when it gets damage

That might be a long time before that happens. I'm kind of on hiatus with the whole shipbuilding thing, since life suddenly got a whole lot busier for me.

Though, I imagine a larger ship with this level of detail might destroy most PCs from the sheer block count (try getting hit by an explosive weapon with this ship) :P

hey no need to be sorry. it's a great design and very detailed, i love it. it would be nice to see this ship or something similar as a battleship or cruiser or something big other kind :D

Yeah, sorry about that. :/ I'm just waiting for the day the game can handle these sorts of builds.

this is a really awesome ship! sadly it creates heavy lag spikes when it takes damage especially when under attack...

Looks like the SDF-1

Hah, Looks like a Fractured Space TITAN ship

I love the engines is it possiable to get just those

I question your sanity, in a good way, I can't even comprehend trying to make something this well put together, visually appealing, functional, and balanced.

Incredible.

100/100 would drool once more.

I used a mixture of load of camera manipulation, X/Y/Z-axis mirroring and template usage. The most frustrating bit was working the camera to get close enough to do the fine detailing. You need to go into pseudo-first-person to do interior spaces, at least with the way I build my ships.

Other people who plan better might do the interior first before working on the outside, but that's just my assumption on another possible approach.

I must ask, how did you manage to get into the super small areas, like the hangar with it's own little doors and such? Did you start with the bulk of the ship and add/remove detail after? Did you create separate chunks to c+p, scale, and then attach with other chunks?

oh okay, well there is a yogscast member named xephos and they have 7.5 million subs, so I figured you might have gotten it off him

Looks alot like something i saw in fractured space

Good Job

Well so it looks like.. impressive !

@BLACK About 2 weeks, on and off

Amazing Ship ! How many Hours ? ^^

That is absolutely jaw-dropping. Beautiful details!

@Mindlessmrawesome No, I got the name from a double-edged, one-handed, shortsword used by the ancient Greeks during the Iron Age, used as a secondary weapon after the javelin.

lemme guess... you got the name idea from a certain yogsy youtuber...

Mmm, Blender.

Love the level of detail, Ironically I was more impressed when I saw it was only a 5 slot. I can't imagine the time it would take to buld even a modest 8 slot with this level of craftsmenship.

Awesome, loving all your TDS inspired ships! I would love to see something inspired by the Paladin or Protector.

Someone else has already built other Fractured Space ships before me here [www.avorion.net], namely the USR Pioneer and Destroyer, and the Zarek Raider. Not as unnecessarily detailed as my stuff, but still far better than what most would bother with.

I'm not sure if the Raider is fully functional though, because I didn't... Really... Download it... :P

the TDS is strong with this one..

i am still amazed by your ability to recreate their designs and little frame pieces here and there. if you're interested, i'd love to see a recreation of the Raider/Frigate, or just Zarek ships in general.
10/10

i just cant wait till they can make ships like this useable all the small parts being blown off makes for some serious lag. i try to compensate as much as possible to at least make mine combat worthy when shields go down. such a time consuming work your ships are awesome. i wish i could bring myself to use really small blocks lol.

Yep. Stay away from pulse cannons, stay far, far away from them. They'll still take a while to kill you, but the tiny bits and pieces will cause a LOT of little explosions that will turn your game into a lag fest :P

I'm thinking of something that could at least keep your framerate alive and still look good in the process right now.

i thought about something , this kind of ship (even with integrity field generators), must be horrible against pulse cannons !?
still a level of details over 9000 ( 38K in fact :D )

@KamOK About 2 weeks on and off

Awesome! Very detailed model. How long did it take?

Sure you can, it just takes practice and more practice. You'll get there without knowing it.

couldn't build something like that in my life.

Hubba

insane

cool
