Illustrious-Class battlecruiser

The Illustrious class battlecruiser is a large, fast capital ship built around pure gunpowder APS guns and a limited missile armament. Featuring 10 500mm main guns, 16 203mm secondary guns, and a plethora of smaller guns for air defense, the class is well armed, and moderately armored. The overall styling of the ship is Interwar to WWII inspired, as such, while a LAMS is included for missile defense, and extensive planar shields cover much of the hull, no other energy weapons or lasers are installed. Much of the interior is walkable, with the large engine rooms and bridges featuring somewhat detailed interiors. Combat capability is fairly effective, but the lack of hitscan weapons makes hitting agile small aircraft somewhat a matter of luck. As you may see upon exploring this ship, much of the internal volume is dedicated to engines. This to allow the ship to move at speeds in excess of 40m/s, as well as power the power hungry active defenses. A single catapult launched float plane is provided, but it is small and not terribly useful. No ejectors on any loaders, we die like true British sailors!

As large portions of the hull, exterior/interior decorations, and weapons use modded parts, a list has been provided. The metal retexture is not mandadory, however, the ship generally looks better in that than the default metal texture. The control panels situated at command posts throughout the ship control boiler burn rate and shield strength.
Condition 1 is full combat power, with full shields and boiler burn rate. Ship is spawned in this condition.
Condition 2 shuts off shields but maintains burn rate.
Condition 3 reduces boiler burn rate and shuts off shields, serves as a way to travel while burning fewer materials.
Condition 4 shuts off all boilers. As there are no other engines or energy storage, this will eventually immobilize the ship, but ceases all material burn.
