Here's the first part of my extremely-belated Easter update. (Several things stopped me from uploading my entire upload, namely Planet Minecraft being down, lots of stuff to do, and slow building on the ship. I'll upload the concept art later, which means after I actually make it.) Anyway, I halted production of the Dauntless in order to build this, which is countering the massive amount of ships Iyecte is putting out. Spec Time!
Class: Sentinel-class Guided Missile Cruiser
Commissioned Ships:
First Launched: 4/5/13
Length: 130m
Width: 67m
Height: 31m
Armament:
1 TNT cannon
22 missile silos
16 Dispenser Machine Guns
Crew: 300 (30 officers, 270 enlisted)
Displacement: 35,000 tons
Powerplant: 1 Nuclear Reactor
Lift: 6 Heavy Rotors.
Thrust: 3 Nuclear Thrusters. (Same as on the Indomitable)
Top Speed: Mach 0.7
Recommended Operating Ceiling: 50,000 ft
Upon the launch of several more vessels of Iyecte, the Skylords decided to halt development of the Dauntless-class aircraft carrier in order to keep up with the arms race. Skylord Brony was ordered to immediately build a new class of ship, and didn't even bother with designs. The Sentinel-class was devised to carry missiles to borders and hover for long periods of time, acting as a flying missile base. While also designed as a Dauntless escort, it has limited defensive and short-range offensive capabilities, and as a result is often escorted by Falcon-class ships. It was created partially as a testbed for design elements of the Defiant-class, including dual superstructures, an inborne helicopter hangar, and weaponry in the hull. The instant the first prototype was constructed, the Skylords ordered the immediate construction of additional warships, creating a full fleet of missile vessels. While it is slightly larger than an Indomitable, it has much larger bridge, albiet a bridge mostly taken up by missile control consoles. One of the best ships in the Air Navy, it is almost as coveted of a position as the Indomitable. Even though the Skylords were moving towards a more jet-lifted fleet, as jet ships like the Falcon and Dauntless were faster, more maneuverable, and had a higher ceiling, Skylord Brony surprised them by fitting the Sentinel with six rotors, but with good reason. The ship is designed as a hovering missile base, and rotors tended to be more stable in tests than jet engines, so it can hover almost pillow-soft even while firing off every missile it has.
I HAVE A VOLTZ VERSION OF THE SHIP AVAILABLE AS WELL IN WORLD FORM. WHEN YOU SEE THE WORLD DOWNLOAD, THAT IS FOR VOLTZ. THE SCHEMATIC IS FOR VANILLA MINECRAFT!!!!!!
I've got another Easter Egg for you, Iyecte. See if you can find it.
Also, a challenge: Find the hidden 8 top secret butter blocks all over the ship, and tell me in the comments if you've been successful!
And finally, ABSOLUTELY NO FLAN IS REQUIRED FOR THIS BUILD!!!! YAY!!!!!

So I swear I'm not doing this just to get more views. I'm fixing a bunch of my ship weights from their unrealistically high tonnage to more reasonable levels. This was listed as 350,000 tons, which is insane for a ship of its size alone, especially a flying one, but considering the Dauntless that is literally twice its size weighs 100,000 tons, that's a bit crazy.
