This is the OSS Michigan, my first Heavy Cruiser design. It features two remote-control tnt cannon turrets with a range of 50-60 blocks, which are controlled from the bridge. The ship features side-mounted fireguns for warding off enemy fighters and unarmored ships. The fireguns are controlled from teh ship's Fire Control Center, located in the superstructure under the bridge. Additional features include: the crew quarters, the captain's quarters, a mess hall, an engineering bay, and a storage room.

The cannons have a reload time, so you must wait at least 3 seconds between each volley, or the cannons will explode. Each cannon can be fired independently, or in sync with each other. Also, do not spam the rotate sign for either cannon in the bridge; spamming the sign will cause the turret to glitch and break.

As with most of my previous airships, this ship uses movecraft to get around. The ship requires a movecraft type that uses 40%-80% wool as the flyblock, and cannot carry dirt, sand, stone, stone bricks, bricks, etc. The ship includes furnaces if fuel is required. This ship is composed of anywhere between 7,001 and 15,000 blocks (I say between 7,001 and 15,000 because the movecraft type I used for this ship requires between 7,000 and 15,000 total blocks; I never bothered to count. The next step below has a maximum of 7,000 blocks, and that type could not be used), making this ship one of the biggest I've ever built.

In the future, I plan on making an enormous battleship comparable to baccayarro's Goliath in size and firepower. I will also be designing various flak cannons, both ship-mounted and grounded-based.

Thank you, but this ship is WAAAAAAAAAAAY outdated and won't work on most movecraft servers, if any lol.

I don't think that classifies as a "heavy cruiser". First of all it has only 2 turrets, how is that supposed to be heavy? Secondly, its too small to be a cruiser. In real life or in science fiction, cruisers are huge. I feel like the appropriate classification would be a frigate.

Fox, this ship isn't meant to be a model for a real-life ship. As for it being 'heavy', I can think of some battleships that had only two main turrets. This ship was designed for movecraft. If you want me to build a heavy cruiser like the Northampton or New Orleans, fine. I can garuntee that flying the thing would crash most servers. Besides, if you're going to complain about my ship classification system, go look at baccayarro. His battleship isn't too much bigger than my heavy cruiser. Also, frigates are fast. This ship would crash the server I play on if I tried to move it as fast as some of my smaller ships.

Ok i read what you wrote and I think if you just take out the heavy if it cannot be a frigate, it will be okay as a regular cruiser.

I saw your creations, and I can see that you are big on making things very accurate and possibly to scale. Let me tell you right now that most of the stuff i post is not meant to be accurate. Compared to most of the other movecraft airships I've seen, this ship fits nicely into the heavy cruiser class. I cannot make tnt turrets much smaller than the guns you see here. Baccayarro can, but his movecraft specifications are different from mine. I have to "idiot-proof" everything I build, to an extent. If I could make the guns smaller and still have the same range, I would, and there would be more of them on this ship, and then I would consider making it a regular or even light cruiser.

I don't know much about movecraft and these don't look like the traditional TNT cannons with the water thing that I'm used to. But is it possible to get a 3 barreled turret?

Movecraft is a plugin that allows people to make and customize airships, submarines, tanks, surface ships, etc. It works by teleporting the selected blocks around, which causes a lot of lag for bigger ships (3,500+ blocks). As for the tnt cannon design, I have it set so that it spits the water out, fires the gun, then pulls the water back into a dispenser. The mechanism that pulls the water back into the cannon is what takes up a ton of room. The whole point of setting it up this way is for the ship to be able to move and carry the water with it, without having to have water source blocks listed as a block that can fly with the ship. This is especially important for submarines that use tnt cannons. If you'll look at my other ships, many of them carry torpedoes (they have redstone blocks or diamond blocks on them); the torpedoes are a pretty cool part of movecraft. If you want to learn more about movecraft, look up baccayarro on youtube or his PMC account, loraxe42.

Foxy, that was the point. As of a few hours ago, I have a tnt cannon that shoots tnt up to 170 blocks away, with an average distance of about 120 blocks. The cannon looks a bit like a triple-barreled 16" battleship gun from WWII, but it really only has 2 tnt barrels. The gun is about 15 blocks wide right now.
