JUMP DRIVE WARNING: DO NOT PLOT COURSES INVOLVING SHIP OVERLAP IN X OR Z!



announcing the new CC meta everyone

it haaaas NUKE!!! and FIGHTER!!!! video should explain everything (EDIT: Except the jump drive, but i wrote a guide. just use x-1, y-1, z-1 etc instead of x-5 etc)!!! (what it doesn't say is that you can have only 4 fighters per scorpio)
powered flight still works on peaceful (although there is a large deprecation in thrust), but you need at least easy difficulty to deploy nukes
highly recommend /gamerule doMobLoot false

time allocation:
exterior- 1.5 hr
interior- 0.25hr
systems-longer
SPECIAL ABILITIES

Carrier: The Scorpio doesn't have any guns, instead using fighters to deliver its weapons payloads.
Jump Drive: With a good engineer, the Scorpio can "jump" around the map at high speed, carrying nearby vessels with it. You lose 0.2% hull mass and a lot of wiring.

BACKGROUND

The Scorpio was developed to take advantage of the lack of serious anti-fighter weaponry by other empires in the most brutal way possible. Skipping normal approaches such as carpet bombing, the Scorpio's 4 fighters deliver FDT nukes to enemy vessels. At first, hostile captains may not notice as they scan the scene from their bridge. Then a twitch of movement captures their eye, and a small segment of their hull is gone. And another. And another. Battles turn into races against time, to disable the nuke sources before they disable their targets. And it only takes a single nuke to destroy an entire capital ship.

The Scorpio also is infamous for its small-scale jump drive, able to atomise and reset the carrier to almost any position in under a minute. However, continuous usage of this drive causes severe system damage and minor hull damage, so any usage is a calculated risk.

To take a break from the intense levels of lore for a minute, this is my attempt to really shake things up in CC. Nukes can't be aimed, only contained, so I couldn't actually have launchers on my ships. I developed fighters to fix this and realised WHOOPSIES ALL MY OLD STUFF IS USELESS NOW. All you have to do is break into the enemy ship and turn off all its interior shields, then drop your nuke and it's game over!

You should be able to tank anything other than a direct explosive hit while flight mode is active. Walking around whilst in flight mode is awesome, as you're surrounded by a wreath of smoke, get super speed, and retain practical invulnerability to anything other than large explosions. Unnnnfortunately you can't hit people either, so you have to use the same forcefield that powers your flight to shove them off of things. I also included the shields off the Miraculan Scout to make landing less hair-raising.

Hey, I've tried downloading a couple times now, and I always get a "403 Forbidden" error. I've seen the same thing in a couple of my projects, and they seemed fine after reuploading the schematic. Any chance you could try that out? I'm dying to take the Scorpio out for a spin ;)

Wooh! The download worked, but there seems to be one critical piece of redstone missing in the area with the command blocks for the nukes and fighters (the one between a lamp and a stack of 2 repeating command blocks). Took me a while to figure out why the nukes weren't exploding, but the results were well worth it!
