Mmmm...Here's a thought. Why not build a shuttlecraft for this ship? One that goes in that hanger at the back? As far as things go, though, I'd also like to see a developed carrier craft with small assault/interception craft designed to go with it. Just thoughts.
It's kind of weird watching someone design and build a ship from the outside going in. I'm the kind of builder that is constantly removing things from my builds until i distill it down to the absolute minimum number of blocks necessary and not a single one more. That requires me to place all the functional things first then add only enough armor to fill in the gaps to make it air-tight, a building from the inside out approach if you will. Watching someone greeble to me is like watching someone perform alchemy, i don't get how they can do it but i do enjoy watching.
this is cool to see a differnt way of building, i always lay out my conveyor systems first, then armor that and add the rest, not to mention making a 3d schematic in my head first.
Your thought process for building these ships is beyond impressive. All your ships look great and you make it look so much easier than it actually is. Amazing job!
I Like the build process, it starts by building up a shape, as if you are working clay, then, you chisel down details, as if you are working on a statue.
I had a scifi design for a ship that had a similar rear engine layout, except without the lower ones. In mine, there was a small hangar and a half-hangar/half-landing pad below it for an aux craft. The upper hangar, however, was designed for drones (either exploration or combat, the ship was designed to be multirole by payload), which would fly out in a compact configuration before deploying into whatever they need to be once they clear the engines. This would keep them safe from gunfire, especially given how the ship was meant to engage, and it kept a fairly clean area in which to line up for landing. This design reminds me of that, and I imagine a destroyer would carry drones for reconnaissance or support, since they tend to hunt larger ships solo or in small packs.
hey, your stuff looks pretty cool, but I was wondering if you know about a game called "From the depths" its space engineers, but in a ocean, you can make spaceships, ships, thruster crafts, and submarines has planes. You need to make your own engines, guns, and can program Bread boards, pids or lua. its pretty cool and it seems something up your alley
The only two times I made good looking ships that I was really happy with, I went from the outside in, every other ship I tried building from the inside out ... Why did I not learn from my own experiences? Anyway, your ships look amazing, this one is no exception!
Remove Block Edges I can't play vanilla anymore. Seeing edges on blocks... it kills me Of course, that's just one mod. In the interest of saving us time, I just listed what A; came to mind, and B; my favorite cosmetic/building mod
I usually build without many mods, the only one I always have enabled is buildinfo, it's so helpful to know how heavy blocks and all the other stuff it shows you.
watched a few of these, you have an interesting method of design, blocking out the rough size and shape in the way a sculptor might then adding details and carving away interior space. I wonder how you arrived at that method. I tend to start at the bow or stern and build the whole armor conveyor network, and thrusters as I go forward or back. I also note you don't use any DLCs, I'm guessing to make each ship accessible to everyone on the workshop who may not have them?
Like watching your evolution videos, only thing that amuses me though is that you say you don't like the symmetry so you change them a bit, but they are STILL symmetric...
Ur designs are the best for one simple reason, you use hydrogen thrusters, the only kind that does not feel like cheating in the game, i wish the devs made atmo thrusters need fuel and ion some wireing and xenon gas so they are not just the optimal option all the time.
To Make A Ship Have As Much Power Efficiency (None is wasted) and Use All Of it’s Space Efficiently whilst having as much Firepower as possible. This wouldn’t be the most efficient disign as it has unnecessary detail and Wasted Space. Cheap,Reliable,expendable,strong, durable,fast,accurate and many more features are required within a ship.
Looks like a fairly straightforward heavy escort and patrol craft. The high focus on point defense weapons and relatively heavy armor plating should lend it well to guard duty with the space for a light fighter to scout the area. Perhaps I missed it, but it seems to lack a jump drive or med bay which will make isolating it easier but so long as it sticks to a guard role, this can be compensated for. It doesn't seem to have much braking thrust which can make it easier to pull it out of position and the rear seems to have a few armor gaps at it's relative underside that could be exploited to quickly cut over half it's engine's conveyor lines and damage the more exposed thrusters with some focused fire. Still, the core of the ship looks rugged and the set up lends it well to handling lots of smaller craft. It's rear thrust looks like it could get up to a respectable speed for reaching nearby hotspots or running down fleeing ships if needed. It would be a decent work horse for a large group when paired with a logistics ship and a sister ship to give it the range and support needed to operate independently.
Do you manually gut the ship to get a full conveyor setup to see or is there a quicker way to take out everything that isn't part of the conveyor system? Also, when you added heavy armour did you manually remove the light armour and replace it or is there a mod or something that allows you to do it faster?
I think the third engine design looks good probably with a bit of the 4th I think I'm not sure but if you wanted to you could of made multiple versions of the destroyer all different engine designs and either have mk-1 - mk-whatever the last design is but it does look nice the interior looks like a npc ships interior also same with the out side for some
you used the term Soyuz transition. but I don't understand what you mean. A union Transition? I guess I dont understand the context that applys to building
how did you get everything to look like this?? is there a program/,mmod to do what you did for this to make it like a transition for the designs to build quicker? i have an idea for a sdhip but i just cant build it right o.o this type of thing would be perfect
I writed this cooment in previos video. But I ask again - How to make such evolution shots??? I not asking how to build - this is need practice. I am asking how to make - such gray skybox?
I guess its manually, each time you start working on the ship make a copy of it and paint the new one completly in one color. change your color, all new blocks will be the new color. repeat
Instructions unclear, ended up with yet another large rectangle that I still don't like I wish I could build nice stuff in space engineers, but I still suck at it. Maybe another 300 hours will improve my skills
Oh, looks like youtube didn't recognize it automatically. It's this one th-cam.com/video/0BNwmJIhEiU/w-d-xo.html I think the acoustic version I used is somewhere on the ncs.io website

I relate to this way too much
12 hours a day for a week then never touched again until a minimum of 2 months later
The similarity of this is uncanny

Excellent as always Major! From the ship itself to the video editing, it's all so well thought out and wonderfully crafted.

Without proper scale, I'd think that hangar at the back would be too small for a proper shuttle

I don't understand how someone can just know what size the ship has to be, I tried making a ship and realized it about half the size it has to be
@@Stonecargo21 you just need a clear idea of what you want in your ship.
@@Stonecargo21 I tend to also make notes on paper.
Can you show us the process for the interior, too? I am having such a hard time cramming everything inside my ships.
The shape seems just as functional as it is aesthetic, which I really appreciate
This takes some skill, making all these cool ideas and actually having a developed sense of what looks good and how to execute it
Big respect for phasing this ship. Good ship and good job.
Showing the design process was very valuable, I've never seen that before. I might be able to make something halfway pretty now.
Your workflow on creating this ship is 1000x better than my workflow on creating 3D models
this is cool to see a differnt way of building, i always lay out my conveyor systems first, then armor that and add the rest, not to mention making a 3d schematic in my head first.

holy ship I was just playing around with this blueprint just a few days ago and now I get recomended this lmao
Another beautifully designed ship.
This is great content. Thank you for creating this example of your work flow. Very clearly explained and detailed. Your ship design here is awesome.
Your videos are so informative and helpful. Watching them has helped me so much with ship design! Thank you!

Major Jon - reinventing the MSCS Donnager since 2021 xD
Amazing job! Really like the overall shape of this one! Thanks for sharing :)
it goes without saying that all of your builds are absolutely amazing
keep up the epic work!
Really cool ship
This is the reason why i want the game but i cant.
Very cool looking ship, well done.
These first shapes reminds me of a cargo ship in an old "Privateer" game (Wing Commander series spinoff).
Nice work!
ayyy, new Major Jon video!

@@CMTechnica Yeah, I can get behind that. It's really frustrating sometimes, lol
@@MajorJon Ah, I see. How do you make conveyor setups? Do you just tunnel it all out?
@@DullSpectrum yep, just removed all the blocks by hand, takes quite some time lol
With the new AI blocks, I would love to see a battle between all of the ships you have made a ship evolution of!
Great build, inspiring as always
it feels like a lot of turrets for a destroyer, but other than that it looks amazing!
Looks very good
ive never built a ship like that but this makes me want to
Dude these videos are so good, I love them so much

The hanger is nice
this is some serious skill man good shit
Dude, looks awesome.
Great video, I really enjoyed everything about it! I appreciate the time you put into this.
Amazing ship. You should do one with all DLC enabled.
I always was curious how much time ppl spend to build such a cool detailed ships? Everything I build looks like a war sausage.
I love vids like that. Keep going dude
Like watching your evolution videos, only thing that amuses me though is that you say you don't like the symmetry so you change them a bit, but they are STILL symmetric...
That's a destroyer? It's like battleship-sized!
But what do I call my next ship then? ;)
Looks amazing like always
Im curious, what are your computer specs? Im impressed at how well space engineers runs on your system comapred to mine
Ryzen 5 3600, rx 5700 and 16 gb ddr4 ram
Now i want to play Avorion again
that looks fantastic... keep going your way o7

They aren’t optimal thrust is so bad compared to hydrogen and they are weirdly shaped. They are also heavy. A hydrogen ship will always be faster
bro you are a god
Awesome
This is basically a step by step tutorial on how to make a ship
Oh yea I’m gonna cop this and put more guns on it

Hngggg the desire to build intensifies, but I have given up many times before...
The ship looks awesome, can't wait to try it. But why u removed that gravity gun xD
Quality content. You have earned a sub.
Mate you need more Subs then you have this work is amazing love watching it
Respect from Australia :)
Thank you for masons it dlc free because now I can use it & it loooks nice
i wish this game had something to do with such ships :(
Nooo, 22.5° rear thrusters looked way cooler. Also you would have more space for rear hangar
What program do you use for the models?
帥
I wanna see it in combat!
The UNN Donnager king
what do u use to build ships in? the actual game with a skybox or an external program? they look nice
Looks like something from Halo universe.
Do you manually gut the ship to get a full conveyor setup to see or is there a quicker way to take out everything that isn't part of the conveyor system?
Also, when you added heavy armour did you manually remove the light armour and replace it or is there a mod or something that allows you to do it faster?
Are you using a graphics mod? A nice black line appears outside the blocks.
what skybox do you usually use when building?
So what background are you using for your se world ik your in a world I can see the lights from your helmet
I loved building in the space engineers (1000 hours, what feels like 900 hours on creative) but once the Ideas run out there is just.. nothing to do
Go check out stuff on the workshop, watch sci-fi, you’ll get more ideas
when I look at music at 2:08 none of a listed tracks sound any thing like this one slightly confused.
I've got to ask. What program are you using? I feel like I need to try it.
How do you paint such large sections of the ship and change their colours so easily?
I just use the spectator cam, no mods. You can paint bigger areas with ctrl. or shift and the entire ship with ctrl. + shift + mmb
I think the third engine design looks good probably with a bit of the 4th I think I'm not sure but if you wanted to you could of made multiple versions of the destroyer all different engine designs and either have mk-1 - mk-whatever the last design is but it does look nice the interior looks like a npc ships interior also same with the out side for some
you used the term Soyuz transition. but I don't understand what you mean. A union Transition? I guess I dont understand the context that applys to building
he meant the way the engines sloped into the main body
Aesthetics similar to the Russian assembled multinational made Soyuz rocket.
Thank you, sincerely, a 165h noob
how did you get everything to look like this?? is there a program/,mmod to do what you did for this to make it like a transition for the designs to build quicker?
i have an idea for a sdhip but i just cant build it right o.o this type of thing would be perfect
Quick question how is your toolbar set up?
I writed this cooment in previos video. But I ask again - How to make such evolution shots???
I not asking how to build - this is need practice.
I am asking how to make - such gray skybox?
There's a mod that replaces the skybox with a flat gray one
I guess its manually,
each time you start working on the ship make a copy of it and paint the new one completly in one color.
change your color, all new blocks will be the new color.
repeat
Major, what mods are you using for your skybox and outlines (your building videos have strange but neat outlines)
No mods, just reshade postprocessor
