Author Topic: Sniff's Aircraft Carrier - SNEAK PEAK  (Read 13457 times)

I couldn't contain it any longer, I had to post some pics here.

I expect a fair few of you have stumbled onto this server at least once during the weekend, and an even fairer few know that this is an application build for MotE. I have been working on this over the weekend for rediculous amounts of time and the exterior is pretty much finished, with the exception of fine details and a little bit of empty space.

As it stands now, there are 10 exterior F18 Fighter Jet spawns, and space in the hangar for more (although the hangar is just a floor at the moment). There is also 6 working turrets, 2 pairs of cannons on the left side, a forward facing cannon with space to rotate 180 degrees, and an anti-air cannon. Each can be triggered to release a salvo of blocky metal from within the control tower on the appropriate floors.

I'm estimating that the project is about 65% completed at the time of this writing, as there is very little interior work at the moment. I plan to add a full hangar, at least ten crew cabins, a mess hall, briefing room and a flooded engine room.

My hopes with the project is primarily to get into the prestigious MotE, since I enjoy the company of the members and respect their building talents. Even if I do not get into the clan, I intend to host the ship for RPG purposes. There is plenty of scope for a fully fledged rpg session here, with all the rooms and equipment necessary. An example I came up with would be to have terrorists or a foreign special ops team raid the carrier, and the crew must defend themselves.

Enough babble, I expect you want to see the pics, if you hadn't scrolled down already!










Technical Details

Brick count is around 15k at the moment. On finish I expect about 25k
Finish date will probably be at the minimum 2 days, maximum a week.


Server is online pretty much all the time with a 12 player capacity. If you do want to come look for yourself and want to fly a jet. Please DO NOT ASK FOR TRUST, spawn a jet on the ocean bed, fly it, try not to crash (as it lags when stuck in buildings) and CLEAN UP BEFORE YOU LEAVE

With all that aside, I would like to stress that this build is NOT finished and I still have a lot planned. I'm not the fastest worker, but this is a rather large ship and it takes time to perfect. If you have any friendly suggestions, I'd gladly take them. I've already incorporated a few ideas into my project to what I believe is good effect.

Thanks for reading!

Wow nice i really like it, it reminds me of the one i started and never finished.


Your face looks very professional in that picture, lol

I've always wanted to make one of those, but I was too lazy. Good job on it so far.


Thanks for the comments so far. Added another pic of the exterior showing Az's little island, but I made the bbq!! ^^


Looking awesome Sniff! I wish I could muster up the creativity and patience to build something. >_>

You make me want to build a ship.

Sniff; succeeding where we fail.



Looking great, Sniff! Can't wait to see it done.

Wow, Sniff. It's only been 2-3 days since I last saw it and you already have the top part of the carrier pretty much done. Well, at least it looks finished to me. Bravo. BTW, what happened to my burger ship?

Ah sorry, I wipe pretty much everything aside from the most relevant to keep the lag down. My laptop is already struggling at the amount of bricks already, and depth of field screenshots will freeze the game for a good five minutes.

The only things I've kept is the life boats, a trauler by Rentafence (useful for terrorist spawns) and some sea mines under the water by Zach. Oh and of course that island. :D

You sunk my battle ship.

It's not that good IMO, and the slopes are messy. I vote no.
