Uchuu Senkan Yamatoooo! - inspired ship (very early game)

[Krelian]

Disclaimer:
As most anyone can see; the ship ofcourse is not a 1-on-1 replica of the WW2 battleship or it's scifi fantasy counterpart the Space Battleship Yamato, rather the design is inspired* by that ship. The secondary source of inspiration is the Delphinous from Skies of Arcadia (originally released on Dreamcast, I think).

I am playing the game on Xbone X instead of my ancient gaming PC from 2017 hence the images are uploaded to imgur. Unfortunately the pictures are not of good quality but they should still give you a feeling for the ship, I recon.

*No mods are used for this ship (are there even Starfield mods for Xbone?). Thus; a major limitation to building the ship (besides only using ''starter ship parts and skills'' has been the ship-length limit of 40meter (40 fore, 40 aft?) that seems to be built-in to the game. PS! Some players have been able to exceed the limit to 45m without using mods? If that is true; then I dunno how to do that as of yet, unfortunately.

Almost no character skills are required to build this ship except perhaps:
Piloting 1 and Starship Design 1
Cost is about 110k. I had this money after exploring the initial tutorial planets before landing in New Atlantis but ofcourse your experience might vary.

I constructed an ''outpost'' on the planet where New Atlantis is located. I bought a few cheap materials from a local vendor (the ''outfit shop'' in the commercial district) and proceeded to build a stardock whatchamacallit. I constructed the ship there (gives more ship-parts to choose from then the starter dock at New Atlantis city proper).

I used the Frontier (OG ship) as a template for nostalgia and also because I wanted to keep the unique hub on it. The ship only has a mobility rating of about 55 because of increased cargo space to carry all the loot & resources with me (I am trying to have a mobile base / battleship hybrid instead* of having a fast, nible and deadly fighter-style ship).

The ship ought to be fully-functional as is (if you can bear at all with the 55-ish manueverability that it offers).

The ship is intended to be used with lots of turrets and designed in a way to accomodate more weapons in the future when I can unlock & afford better engines, reactor and a little extra hull expansion for even more turrets.

This none-trademakred wanna-be Yamato is continually under ''development'' hence the style of the ship varies daily (that's why the ships in screenshots are slightly different from eachother).

I made this ship because I was really looking forward to nerdgasm across the galaxy as the captain of the Yamato, spamming my (eventual) laser turrets all around the place. And I needed the ''Yamato-ish hull design'' as soon as possible. Sharing the pictures here that other players might do the same, let's be nerds together! PS! If folks are actually interested: I can take the hull plating/extra parts of the ship off on one side and take a higher quality screenshot in order to show how the ship is built (together with the different parts).
