As soon as I saw the new antenna dish, I knew I had to flip it around and use it as a sail. I mean, look at it. The ship itself is super basic, except for the fact that it's actually 13 separate parts (still just one grid) held together by magic superglue. It probably looks kinda slow to you now, but don't let the looks fool you; it accelerates from 0 to 100 in about one second. The interior is kinda small and crappy though. Due to the limited space I couldn't even make it airtight. It's made for space, but if you're skilled and mad enough you can fly it on planets too.

The whole thing has a major flaw though: As soon as you remove or destroy any block, the whole ship breaks apart. Also, while it does work in survival, it's impossible to weld it up from a projection in the first place. The whole thing is more of a fun experiment rather than an actually good ship.
