Here's my attempt at an all-in-one exploration ship piecing together all the bits I learned from some youtube videos; Hammerhead;

Mass; 688.2
Length 48m, Height; 20m, Width; 43m
Power 20000.0/20000.0 (170683.9 e/sec)
Thrust; 1098.2
TurningSpeed; X-Axis; 1.2, Y-Axis; 1.5, Z-Axis; 1.2
Shields; 107263.0/107263 (3288 s/sec)

Distance; 370
Reload; 584.2
Speed; 20.1

High power AMC in the main fuselage;
Damage; 270.1
Distance; 724.5
Reload; 160.7
Speed; 42.5

alongside four missile tubes;
Damage; 273.0

Ship's equipment;
2 - lightly armed jumpers on landing platforms on the front of the nacelles
1 - 0.322 salvage speed, 25 beam array prospecting/ recovery ship that docks piggy-back to the main vessel.
1 - lightly armed small transport rigged to carry a jumper if needed that docks in a bay at the rear on the bottom of the main vessel

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The interior is plain but you can access each of the docked ships from inside. From the control room plexdoors lead to hallways to each nacelle with plexdoors to the jumper landing pads after normal entrance/ exit plexdoors.

To the rear is the plexdoor to the transport docking bay. It is a tight fit; launches easily but the docking maneuver takes a bit to line up.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Above the control room is the plexdoor hatch to access the salvage ship.

It's my first real ship and still undergoing improvements (another layer of thrusters on the nacelle engines) but is plenty capable and fun to use.
After seeing some other people's projects I'm inspired to build something bigger... but I don't know what yet.

[Shadowlord]

Looks very cool. You've saved it all, right?

Edit:
So what are all your most capable or most powerful ships like nowadays, in terms of size, armament, shielding, etc? (Pictures, of course, are also lovely)

[Aseaheru]

My ship is still not done. Pity, it is large.

[Sergius]

I really want to design a cool ship with interiors and everything, but until we can more the Core around, it's going to be a chore...

[Sonlirain]

So i decided to check it out...
Can anyone tell me a good way to earn money other than dismantling asteroids bit after bit and selling the rock/ore to the shop?

Dismantling space stations bit after bit and selling the hull/components to the shop.

(protip: attach a Build block to it then use the largest brush to remove the blocks)

I sortof have one that has that. But most of the rooms are tiny and it is a pain to make steps.

For making steps or anything with slopes, I suppose not a lot of people know this, but if you hold down control and scroll with your scroll wheel, you can cycle through block orientations without having to click the little arrows on the screen.

[Aseaheru]

True, but it is still a pain in the ass.

[Dansmithers]

Building a Star City.

[Kadzar]

Building a Star City.

As in a city inside a star?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Nah just a town full of blocky little celebrities.

[Sergius]

Ok, I decided to give it another go. I started with the "reactor room", which is based on the "hypercube" design for power generation, like this.

Spoiler: Power Room (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: This is what it looks once finished from the inside (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Front view, cube visible (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Back view, trying to get the highest thrust per block from engines (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Inside the engine room, I tried to keep every block accessible from the floor(s) (click to show/hide)

Note that the outside view isn't the finished looks, those hull tiles are actually interior blocks, it's missing the reinforced exterior that will give it the final shape and get rid of the ugly cube thingy and the corridor around it.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Awesome. I was gonna ask if you were making a ship with a huge exposed glowing weak point.

[NullForceOmega]

Was on earlier, took a bit of time and expanded Oblivion's operations again, we now have a small outpost (with a HUGE reactor) on a terran world near our HQ.
