Realistic spaceships? You got the ships from The Expanse, my friend. No jump drives, no energy shields, no fancy weapons. Just flying boxes strapped with 30mm miniguns, railguns and nukes. Their ships don't have windows nor overexposed bridges, as their CICs are buried deep beneath the ship's hull and they use sensors to "see" their enemies. Combat is pretty straightforward too. Enemy too far away? Throw some nukes! Too close? Fire up the railguns!
@BobTheTitanSP thank you! I actually liked that idea, as it would actually change their space warfare with that new discovery. I know it's lorebreaking, but I never cared too much for this IP. They have a few interesting concepts and ships, such as the Star Forge and the Old Republic, but this franchise has already shot itself in the feet.
@RocCrafter101 a basic railgun, even by today's standards, would have two electromagnetic rails instead of a barrel. What you have here is most likely a coilgun, since a coil could be wrapped around a standard-looking barrel. Technically different, but functionally the same.
@SpicyViper I totally agree with your point there. People have their own tastes, I mean i can totally understand when someone gets ecstatic over a replica of a bus. But seriously, a person's imagination can only go so far, why limit yourself on building things that already exist?
@Gravity thank you!
I think it's the first time that I ever saw landing gears on your builds
Nice work!
@Simpleplaner656 I have more weapons in my posts
@CRJ900Pilot thanks!
@Tank6376 only to ships
@Tank6376 hmmmmmm
@bjac0 not your kind of party boat
@ThomasRoderick thank you!
@Baldeagle086 I put it aside for a moment. It's not really working out as a star destroyer-type ship so I may recycle ir for a future build.
@Treadmill103 thank you!
Nice work!
Decepticon fighter
Welcome back!
@Aspire not a game, a tv series. I really suggest that you watch some of their space combat scenes so that you would really get what I mean.
@Figthepig56 I've seen better successor posts to my builds

What's with the paintjob?
@Simpleplaner656 thank you!
@Mijmaj there's only so many ways to blow other ships apart;
@ThomasRoderick thank you!
I'll make this fly ;)
Are starship-based weaponry acceptable?
@LiamW I use a hybrid skid/wheel landing gear on my builds. I basically nudged some tiny wheels under the skids to enable movement.

@Baldeagle086 I'll tag you on an unlisted post
Perhaps a spaceship? Got a few WIPs lying around here.
@BaconEggs lol I'll pick spikey bricks anytime of the day, sir

Amazing work! Not really a fan of replica builds, but the effort that went to this one is mindblowing.
Tbh, ED ship designs are generic af. They all look like something out of a "spaceship concept art" google image search.

Its amazing how this thing has 2.5k parts for how simple it looks

Electromagnetic? Those turrets look basic nice ship though

Check out the ships from Dreadnought. They're pure eye candy
@DemonSniper8 @BadPilot27 @BadPilot27 thank you!
That dropship is sexy! Time to flex some muscles
Great work! This is pretty much spot-on
Nice work!
@Mattangi2 nicknames should be something a common man could easily use. Heck I don't even know what paroxysm means lol
Nice! How about AAC-43 "Thunderbolt"?
