more like... UNSC Chungas-class Super-Battleship... thats honestly what the UNSC should have named it lmfao

well its no big deal i found a spot where i can cut out a block and go from there. mines gonna have modded thrusters and reactors that should hopefully make this iron brick fast and maneuverable. i have my work cut out

I can't remember the internal layout very well but there's a good chance I overlooked accessibility. Interiors were never my strong suit.

hey ive got a question is there an access point to inner workings from the bridge area. maybe im just not seeing it. i definitely want to use this ship and i plan to modify it but just need easy access to all areas. otherwise ill just start making pathways. sorry if it seems like a silly question

nice

can u make a updates version ^^ i love this ship one of my favo unsc ships!

Technically it's not from Halo but it's a lovely piece of Halo fanon and makes for one CHONKY slugger ship

I was about to say this looked like something from halo, then I read the description lol

Take your time dude, your ships are amazing and I am very patient. Would make me very happy if you checked out the game i'm making someday! Keep up the amazing work. :D

Hey Echo! Just didn't want you to think I had forgotten your request, just haven't had many creative juices flowing for Space Engineers but I'll try to get on that Thanatos for you soon

I'll see what I can do! Maybe I should also resurrect the v1 Valiant from back before its 343 official model (took a while but the new one's grown on me too).

What's funny is that since I talk to the SOTP guys on occasion I was privy to a few unused designs, one called the Ticonderoga-class which was also meant to be a battleship, made from scratch and really really nice but they never used it. Instead they just blew up the old Valiant, kinda reminds me how they did Long Night of Solace by just enlarging a Halo 3 CAS-class while they made whole new models for the actual CAS-classes which show up for three seconds.

Only reason I ask is cause im making a strategic planet capturing game where you build ships (UNSC v Covy) and im making lineups. Each ship has unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Keep up the great work tho, not a demand just a request for if you have time!

Well shucks ya don't HAVE to bribe me :D I have thought about it, but the thing is it's just a scaled up old-school Valiant-class model-wise, and as such I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's smaller than this old girl, isn't it? I imagine it's quite a bit smaller widthwise (Astraeus is thiccer than Infinity)

Any chance on a Thanatos-Classs Battleship? (waves $20 bill)

I'll refer you to the previous statement. I don't want to make ships that are even more limited by vanilla blocks.

Then just make it without shields? (the strident)

"Doesn't make as much sense to make ships that should have energy shields without mods, though."

That is a mod, and for this series I am staying vanilla. I'll use that in the modified series later on.

Couldnt you just use the "Defence Shields Legacy" mod for the shields?

Maybe, I'd rather not do Infinity in the 1:10 series but the Stridents are ok. Doesn't make as much sense to make ships that should have energy shields without mods, though.

Can you make Strident Heavy Frigate, out of small blocks like the Paris/Stalwart/Charon? (/Berlin)

Sick af, time to shoot it with the railgun toucan leopard thing

YAS, got it to the workshop front!

Cool, looking forward to checking the ship out later. Again, nice work on it.

I think I improved her a LOT from the old version, and gave her a unique niche to fill in the UNSC with her capital-scale MAC turrets, which will be a LOT more potent when complete.

I'm particularly happy with how the main drive array turned out with the triangular layout and the neat little secondary engines.

Yay, this one was one of my favorites from the scaled down series. Nicely done.

Just a wee bit.

It's a thicc snacc.

UPDATED:
Switched to all heavy armor, multiple layers. Ship now extremely slow.
Fixed issue with auxillary hangar not having gravity
Patched holes
Put lights in entrance to escort bay entries
Updated interior passageways
Other small changes

Yeah my PC died about 7 months back, took me all this time to set aside money for a new one.

wow it has been a while

Interesting, I didn't know those had a designator feature! Like the old guided missiles but better. Going to mod my own Archer Missiles at some point to have the canon features.

You could use the Homing Weaponry Mod by Meridius and Kreeg for the missiles.

Yes, this ship is a bit of a WIP. I hate the inadequacies of vanilla engines and weapons.

Plans:
Make all heavy armor, maybe do two layers
Replace the placeholder guns and designator turrets with long range guns like CSD cannons. Will accept recommendations

The full modded version I plan to have later will have up to three layers of heavy armor. God knows there's plenty of room.

the ship is beautiful, but no more than decoration, light armor does not hold damage at all, even the gatlings break through with ease. in general it is just a flying target

Not sure about churning them out yet, life's busy and I've gotten out of the rhythm, but I ain't stopping now!

its good to know that your computer or new computer is working and well, cant wait to see more of your awesome builds being churned out like mad!!!

I sure am, Raddish! Glad to be back.

mr evan your back again. yessssssss!!!

I have no idea, I can't check till I get home. It's about 350m long.

One question...what's the PCU?

I hope it does as well, your creations are grade A!

My hope is to get this on the workshop front!

LB: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right he is :D
Dr: Thank you! This ship has been a long time coming and I almost lost it in a PC crash months ago.

This is really amazing! Great work man, thank you!

He's back!

That's pretty badass

awesome
