@EternalDarkness Looking at the hull, I do not believe I can pull it off successfully, given how many parts are used and how complex the hull is
@EternalDarkness Ahhh, ok, I understand. I'll try it, and if it doesn't work, I'll just have to make my own.
@KerlonceauxIndustries I find it boring to work on projects I'm already done with. It's no easier for me to lengthen this hull than it is for you. Just remove the middle section to cut the ship in two and add blocks between bow and stern. Then put it back together.
I've come up with an idea for a new missile cruiser and this hull seems to be a good design, but it is not long enough (proportionally, I mean) I just need a longer one. anywhere between 1.125 and 1.5 times the length should do. (When I say 1.5 I mean the length of the hull added to 1/2 of the original length). I don't need any weapons mounted on it. I'll handle details such as radar and maybe an aircraft. Railing would be nice, and for a sense of scale, the ship is supposed to be around the size of a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser (from WWII, of course). Many thanks, and I'll tag you when I've uploaded the near-finished ship.
Do you think you could increase the length of the hull by about 20-25%? Would be helpful for my planned Gearing-class cruiser.
That's preety nice, can you actually make the helicopter work?
@EternalDarkness click this that link is to the smaller version of my ship but has the same hull as the huge one. And it rotates the turrets smoothly.
@RedstoneAeroAviation Try using a lighter rotating part, slower rotator, and check drag of the rotating part. I once had a radar that would spin a 600 000lbs ship, even thou radar weighs only 100lbs. I still don't know why.
@EternalDarkness oh the project ship is very light. Its 100 000lbs+
@Pilotmario yes
Can I adopt this ship in the Paternian Navy as the Province-class frigate and Defender-class cutter?
@RedstoneAeroAviation Make a heavier ship and add more hidden vertical stabilizers. If that doesn't work, then I don't know.
@EternalDarkness How can I fix this problem: the ship keeps wiggling left and right after a part was rotated by a rotator block.
@EternalDarkness yay!
@RedstoneAeroAviation sure
Can I use the front cannon? You will be credited
Np :P
@VernalTie513 oh, I remember now. Thanks again for that buddy.
O was doing logo for MaleticAirplanes :P
@VernalTie513 I was. How did you notice that? I thought that everyone forgot my old self.
lol today i noticed you were MaleticAirplanes
@speedyplane I'm glad that you like it
@EternalDarkness alright thanks! and again awesome
@speedyplane it doesn't. My phone couldn't handle it.
@EternalDarkness Awesome ship. Do the helicopters work?
