[ Discontinued ] Venator Class Jedi Cruiser MKII

[h1] Star Wars Venator Class Jedi Cruiser MKII [/h1]

[b] IMPORTANT NOTICE: ----------------------------- Work on this ship is stopped. Updating the ship can't be done anymore, due to the new size limitations, since Alpha 4.x. It's not possible to access the front and the back parts of this ship.

We are working on smaller version for Alpha 6.x [/b]

---------------------------------------------- This ship is a cooperation work with Jona ( Steam and EGS forums name "darthvader" ).

It started as Jona's idea several months ago. He also created the first draft of this monster.

One day he asked me to help him working on this ship. We was building several weeks together on this ship, mostly in a private multiplayer session. We had to rework the whole ship few times, because of block limits and ireaparable design mistakes. One time we also had to do a complete fresh restart.

Our saved world was looking something like a space ship graveyard ;)

We used original Star Wars art images as basis template for the shape. We worked with layer overlay techniques to compare the screenshots from our ship with the original reference pictures.

Facts:

* Length: 610 m * Scale 1:2 * Build time: hunderts of hours * Built time period: about 3 months

* Hangar space has room for dozens of fighters. Even small Capital ships can be landed there * 56 large generators * 80 fuel tanks splited in 4 different rooms * countless RCS'es * countless lights * crew rooms * officer rooms * captain quarters * garden / food production * enginerring / alternate bridge * medical support * Warp Drive * kitchen / food processing * officers kitchen * leisure rooms * constructor room * cargo and ammo rooms * train trail at top of the ship (over the hangar) * plenty empty space for your imagination

This is not only a space ship, this is a flying city with the firepower of a battleship.

Planetary landing is possible, if you can handle the ship controls and find enough free space for landing. There are special landing gears at bottom of the ship. If you do this, do it on your own risk, but be warned, its not easy, especially if you want to leave the planet again. If you hit the polar barier and the ship flips, you can crash for good.

We don't think it's possible to build bigger ships in EGS, at least in the near future and if you want to build more than just an empty hull.

We was already hitting the game engine limits for single Capital Vehicle.

If you press the P key for control panel, this can take several seconds to apear.

We suggest to not spawn this ship on Low-End PC's. This can kill your graphic card and explode your computer ;)

If you like this ship, please leave a thumb up.

UPDATE 08.05.2016

Updated the ship to EGS Alpha:

* reduced weight * reduced production time * massice reduced lights * replaced over 400 T1 RCS's with 120 T2 RCS's * replaced many normal thrusters with large thrusters * overall FPS optimized * added warp drive tank and clone chambers * reworked warp drive room * fixed coloring and textures * reworked the engines

NOTICE: Seriously, we do not recommend to spawn this ship on public servers without asking the server admins for permission! Many server admins do not allow to spawn such big ships on their servers!

We did hard FPS and performance optimization for this EGS Alpha version, but this is still one of the biggest ships on the EGS workshop, hitting the game engine limits in many directions!
