Natalya, this ship is amazing! I really love the front hatch with the missiles, and the control room

I said "no" to drugs, but they just wouldn't listen...

Avast ye, scurvey baseplate-lubbers. Great build, excellent pop-outs, nice fistful of missiles for a good f-u vs large and inviting targets. The TBL would be honoured to detonate it in the name of lols and carnage.
CONGRATULATIONS - you just WON The Game FOREVER. Or you can carry on being a humourless nugget - your call.

But they do redestroy!

also, excellent job on this ship. The only question I have is about the side hatches on the front half - the way those are installed leads me to believe that the hatch flaps around freely if you move the ship. Is there anything holding it on the other sides?

No hatches or panels flap around freely... >_>

Build one for the Czech and Ninjas and you have the base for another Forum Battle! In Space

I think the Space Pirates should just use the chains. Save the strings for the Assyrians.

Is the rifle guy zip-lining on his hook hand? If so, sweet.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

7: even without air resistance they need big engines and the size of the ship doesn't matter due to the lack of gravity or air resistance, but the distance between solar systems are measured in light-years, a light-year is the distance that light travels in a year, you can't go faster than light, thus it takes years.

9:good point
10: ok
11: lists should never ever exceed 10
12: how else do they past the time, there in that little ship for years
13: docking!, how else do they get on and off!

7. Mass does matter in space. Things still have mass and there still needs to be power pushing said mass. Either way, there are quite a few boosters on this thing, more than enough.

13. Did you not see the giant doors on the side of the ship? Maybe you can enter through those?

And finally, the engine room. A mechanik pirate is working on the engine to achieve optimum output.

That is exactly what he's doing. :D


@ Tathing:
Make a star ship of your own; then you can talk.

7: I said the ship had a Warp Drive. In case you didn't know what that was, a Warp Drive uses the force of gravity to collapse the space in front of the ship, so even if it's going slow, the distance between the ship and its destination becomes much much smaller making a journey of many light years take only a few minutes.

And let's say you said I couldn't have a warp drive, or that it wasn't powerful enough... Well, here's some more news for you: If the ship was able to reach lets say ¾ the speed of light as its max speed... Time slows down the faster you go so while it would still take 1½ years (Is my math right? I'm suffering from sleep deprivation.) to go a light year, time for the crew on the ship would slow down so much that to them it might feel like only a day or two. So, light which goes extremely fast, never gets old because of how fast it's going... As you approach the speed of light time slows almost to a stand-still.

14) This is so awesomely magnificent that all rules and laws of physics and time are reduced to meaningless garbage and pointlessness. Only one truth remains constant, the desire to make one of your own.

i don't have enough bricks to build a big space ship.

and if at the speed of light time comes to a stand still, why can i see things, by your logic this light isn't moveing?

and the reason you can't reach the speed of light is that the energy needed is more than the amount in the entire universe.
and the "advantage" of no air resistance is aculy a disadvantage since your engines have nothing to push against.
