Save the design, create a creative galaxy, apply the plan. Takes a whole minute.
I'll explain.
But first, I play and build, I don't use creative to construct my ships.
Thrust: it caps regular on 1.000'ish m/s. On cold start firing booster, you reach 2.500 m/s before you consider releasing the booster. And whats the point of going from 0 to 1.000 in 2 seconds, when your enemies wont go faster than 300'ish? outrun them?
Titanium was used on inner construction, since I was concerned about the way it would handle. Using one of the lightest materials in the game, offered me, at the time of construction, a good template to use.
Naonite; main yawn thrusters. Used because I was afraid it would shine through the hull, when firing. It didn't, but i am not going to upgrade 120 thruster plates, just to remove the naonite.
Avorion; Already stated it was for the looks. nothing else. And besides, do you even think that an enemy armada would stand a chance against 2 or 3 of these ships? Even without the shield booster, we are talking 1 million shield power and enough firepower to make even me cry :D
I tested the ship in an ogonite sector on the inside of the barrier. an enemy armada popped up to attack the residents, I jumped to drone, told my ship to engage enemies, made popcorn and saw the fireworks. And before someone starts to emo about settings on game, it's full collision, insane setting.
For crew; When I built the ship, I already had the crew ready and lined up. nearly all the crew are specialists, so that's not a problem.
For design, I said i was lazy, but I also didn't want to shutdown a running unlisted server, just for some picture. (yes, some of us actually have a nice PC that runs both the stand alone server and a client, without any kind of problem).
And ofcourse, you are correct. It does lack severely on details. But i didn't build this for the details, I built it for its purpose. Attacking enemies and defending allies.. Had I gone for details, I would go for the high challenge, Prometheus and Daedalus from SG-1... Or even better yet, the replicator ship from the SG-1 episode, where apophis brainwashed teal'c (sorry, but I can't recall the episode name, season or episode number).
And you should see my first design, but seriously... I will not be responsible for your "death by laughing" :-D
Now, please don't take all this in a negative way. Im only trying to explain my choices. But as always, it is not easy to understand what another person means, when they are writing. It is almost certain, that it will be misunderstood :)
Just saying :)
