That's the half-filled shell of the SCF Basilisk, a gigantic warship of my design. I took about a year of on-and-off building to get this far. After seeing a brickcount approaching upwards of around 35,000 and realizing I was only 1/3 of the way done, the project was reluctantly abandoned. I also realized how stuffty it looked over all. I intended to add large weapons to the sides, along with a thinner "neck" capping off that gaping hole, and ending with a full sized dome on the front of the ship where the bridge/official areas would have been, but there wouldn't have been much hope in salvaging the badly made build.
I stumbled across the save a year or two later and missed having a project like this to work on. With my improved building skill, I knew I could achieve something much more detailed and beautiful than that old hunk of junk. A week later, I had designed a new, more practical ship to build, which I am working on as we speak. Previews:
This is the SCF Proeliator. It, too, is approaching a brickcount of around 35,000, but I intend to finish it with less than 55,000. This ship, however, is armed to the teeth with dual barreled, rapid fire guns-of-some-kind, along with 4 (soon to be 6) massive cannons I have yet to think of a name for. The ship is slightly more cramped, but a thousand times more detailed. It consists of less hallways and more purposeful rooms with unique shapes. There's less empty space between the rooms and the exterior hull (unlike the Basilisk), and the rooms are less rigid and boxy; they conform to the round shape of the hull.
Here's a stuffty model of how it should (relatively) look once it's finished:
I plan to finish the ship in the next few months.
