Siegemode's personal Luxury Cruiser (DTU)

[siegemode]

Today, on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", we take a look at how galactic billionaires get around town... In style!

 

I present to you my "Luxury Cruiser", built on my beta branch MP server (DTU).

 

With over 1.2 million hull and 1.2 million shield (without upgrades), 30k cargo space (without upgrades) and 31k omicron rating, nothing says "Get out of my way, I'm trading here" quite like this ship. The outer hull is entirely Trinium armor with (mostly) Xanion internals. It is decently maneuverable for its size, and utilizes gyros and inertial dampeners.

My favorite feature is the Xanion engines, which glow yellow and are designed so that when boosting, the "exhaust" is visible from the nozzle cones. (gif):

P.S. I had a hell of a time making the 3-frame gif above, if anyone can offer some insight to how to make the 360-degree ship gifs I've seen in other threads, please let me know!

Figured it out!

Well hot damn :-O

 

That....

That be a pertty ship right there....

 

Damn fine job.

 

I don't know how you folks have the patience for these masterful builds.

Beautiful is the word that comes to my mouth... Sleek, long, thin, beautiful.

 

As for gif - smart people (not me, I was fool) use some gif recorder and press P in game for stats screen. In stats screen is model of your ship, that rotates 360degress at constant speed. Record that and there you go...

The ship is AWESOME and I would love to use it, however there are no thrusters in it when I build it...anyone knows why? and can it be fixed? :o

Thank you everyone for the great replies! If I would have paid attention to the stickies (oops), I would have found this thread which details how to make better gifs. OP updated with new fancy gifs!

This ship was built in the latest BETA branch and utilizes directional thrusters (as well as gyros and dampeners) which, to my knowledge, have not yet been implemented in the regular (stable) game.
