    While you've been busy conquering the seas, I've been busy conquering space. Wonder if you could build some kind of supermassive starship launch barge?

    @Stellarlabs if you were to sort all of my stuff by the number of parts, you would probably find that there are way too many of them with exactly 666 parts. Maybe its a coincidence, maybe its not.

    @ThomasRoderick The first protrusion would probably be a ventilation shaft for the hangar and the interior while the second would probably be for the engine room.
    The main structure of the funnel would contain multiple gas turbines that would act as standby generators.
    And yes, its basically a 27-1 with a slightly modified stern.
