My Super Awesome Extended Raft Ship Independence

A series of photos taken during the construction of my Extended Raft mod ship, Independence.

The Super Awesome Ship Independence

So I have built a great ship with the Extended Raft mod for Ark.

Special thanks to Crystal for such a kickass mod.

Independence has full industrial capabilities, multiple plant turrents, a rocket turrent, a small taming pen, a medium size dino pen, a huge flight deck, and plenty of room for storage. She is an Ark Base capable of projecting power anywhere on the map. Check out the construction screenshots of Independence below.



Building the base deck of my extended raft ship, Independence. I had to use ceiling and column over hang to place foundations outside 3x3



Below scaffolding pic of unfinished base deck. Independence will have a 9x19 foundation base deck to build on.



The stripped 9x19 foundation deck of the Indy. All that remains of the scaffolding is a wall template.



Completed flight/cargo deck. This deck is made from ceilings and will remain open to the sky. Below this deck is a single wall high area.



The industrial section of the Indy is nearly complete. I am having trouble deciding whether to have a glass roof or not.



Completed external decking and outfitting of the Indy. No manned turrents yet, only plant turrents. I killed that spino with them.



And finally a Rocket Turrent to round out the Indy's armament. In the background, you can see one of the plant turrents.



The view from the bridge while driving the Indy down a river.



Independence and Enterprise in one shot. Enterprise was built on a stock raft.



Independence in profile. The rear section is industrial equipment and storage. The section under the flight deck is open for expansion.



The surface area size difference of Independence and Enterprise.



From the front of the flight deck on Independence. You can see, there is plenty of room here. The Indy is truly an Ark Super Carrier.

Looks awesome, it inspired me to start building on that scale as well. Thanks!

[Castorice]

is this the size of a titan saddle?

You are so right, Ferindar. I completely forgot to do that. I have added the link at the beginning of the guide.

This is neat and all, but an improvement to this would be to link the mod in your guide. Otherwise, nice work.

looks like a great ship to own on a pvp server, just need a 'few' more plant turrets and it should be good
