Author's Note:


So, it's been a while! This is the ship that I have been working on for the past few days, along with many others simultaneously (due to my, shall we say, more than precarious way of organizing what I do); this ship represents a new step forward for my movecraft ship designing. I remember back when I finished the Richelieu, I believed I would never be able to make a better ship. Sure, I may do something of similar quality, but nothing better. Then came this gargantuan warship; I am very, very proud of it. Through this ship, I have tried to create what I thought would be the "peak old gen" warship possible, and without pretention, I think I've succeeded. This ship sets my new shipbuilding standards, so set your expectations accordingly. I do not know if I will ever top this ship, but I have a few projects that might... Either way, for now, this is my top movecraft ship, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I!



Now, for the more useful kind of information; this ship is very, very big. Whereas the Richelieu was at roughly 30k blocks, this ship is at 50k blocks in total (precisely 50,000), so unless your server is tanky, I wouldn't recommend flying it around too much. I also recommend you paste it in a world set without TNT damage, as the schem, weirdly, has it's ventral guns barf out some TNT when pasting, which damages the ship. It'd dumb, I may fix it later.

the schematic has a couple light errors, the description is rushed due to time constraints when making this post; these shortcomings will be ammended shortly.

Special Thanks to:

-Knarlet for the design of the AA turrets
-MystSpaTimeTrav for the main battery, ventral battery, and secondary guns
-Duder_123 for giving me armor schemes
-Tuga_Titanium for his feedback
-Spandrel for allowing me to test the ship in combat for the first time(s)
-Kerlon for some screenshots


Of course, you can use and modify this ship. All you've got to do is credit me, even through a simple name mention.
