Hiigaran Shipyard- HomeWorld 2

>>>>>>READ THE DESCRIPTION PLEASE<<<<<<

A game-breakingly gargantuan Shipyard vessel based on the style of the ships from the classic PC game HomeWorld 2. Built to roughly half scale based on available data.

Specification:

Length: 1260m (504 blocks) Mass: 345,436,320kg Blocks: 493,164

Features:

Gyros: 7,714 Cryo pods: 3 Gatling turrets: 15 Refineries: 2 Assemblers: 3 Arc Furnaces: 3 Batteries: 456 Jump Drives: 42 Connectors: 11 Control Stations: 4

Fully conveyored up and technically Survial ready, 100% Vanilla.

Warning:

This ship is game breaking- it is simply too complex/detailed/large for the Havok Physics Engine to cope with ( go figure since the current version in use was released in 2011- nice job Keen, use a dead piece of software to build your game around ), hence the recent updates to the game providing in-game warnings of ships / structures that have too many physics shapes. The result; you will glitch through walls, you will have trouble trying to place or delete blocks. The ship is fully functional but any collisions may cause ships to simply glitch through eachother and end up embedded.

I had grand plans for detailing the interior with multiple decks and well layed out areas for Production, Crew Quarters, Control room, Med bay etc etc, but alas, what I've had to do is create a shell with a smoothed-out interior, and some token Production Facilities & essentials- the ship will do everything you need, it's just a bit... plain, inside- there are no welders or 3D printers either, so ship building is purely a manual affair..

She is also very heavy and doesn't turn terribly well- think of her as a Station with maneuvering thrusters, so use her massive Jump Drive to travel from location to location, and the thrusters for finer orientation/positioning.

Summary:

Over all I wish I could have done more with this ship, the the game just can't handle these epic builds- you will need a decent PC to run this, make no mistake -but she makes a great hub for any fleet or a machinma production.
