• Don't start with a baseplate
• Disable your duplicator wand
• Think outside the tube
• Print plates =/= detail

i always start with hull in a rib-cage like style

I'd start with the command deck.

• Use a consistent style for the all parts of the ship
• Avoid having long corridors; they are dull and a waste of space
• Keep Blocko-ergonomics in mind; minimum ceiling height of 7 bricks
• Have multiple, unique pathways throughout the ship (air-vents for example)

Yeah, that's a great way of achieving that nice, uninteresting, generic, cylindrical design common to most space ships built in BL.

Alternatively, try building from the inside out; create interesting rooms of whatever size and configuration you desire, then link them up and wrap it up in a "shell" to keep it safe on those long space journeys.

I start with the engines.

Make an exoskeleton of the ship first? Draw it out? Small scale model? I dunno.

[Sebster 105]

Scale models are good, especially with Tophius' bricks.


Build the underside first so you don't get a weird looking ship(saying from experience)
