Warhammer 40K Battle Barge

[Tophattingson]

View of the ship's details

Two of these in space at the same time. PC-Melting!

Skeleton of the ship showing internals. Still 275 parts.

Craft Attributes:

Weight: 141.41 Ton

Parts: 611

Armament: 12 small probe-part based dumb-fire rockets, 5 RT-10 based dumb-fire rockets, 6 guided weapon systems.

Armour construction: Internal girder based skeleton upon which all active systems are placed. Metal Armour plates them placed on top of this skeleton

Mods used:

Mechjeb is required

I also recommend HyperEdit to get it into orbit.

Getting into orbit:

This craft does not come with any lifter. In fact, it's probably impossible to construct a lifter that can get it into orbit legitimately. There are two methods you can use. The first is to activate the infinite fuel and infinite RCS cheats and allow mechjeb to put it into orbit using the main engines. They are powerful enough to do this. The second is to use a program like Hyperedit to hack it into orbit.

Staging:

Only the first stage to detach the holders and activate the main engines is functional. The second stage will simultaneously fire all weapons. If you want to fire weapons individually you should manually activate individual components.

Usability:

This craft is practically unusable, at least for me. It's even worse if you put 2 of them near eachother like I have in the second screenshot. I have managed to test its weapon systems on another copy of itself (shortly after taking second screenshot), and they do work and deal damage. However, it's so laggy that the aiming process took me about 10 mins. If you have an extremely powerful PC, this will probably make great screenshot and video material.
