Description
UNN Pegasus Class Battleship

Length: 100 Blocks, 250 Meters.
Size: 21,558 Blocks. 196,007 PCU.
Dry Tonnage: 71,524 Tons.
Max Jump Distance: 3,495 Km.

This ship is vanilla and survival ready. It does use DLC blocks for aesthetic improvements, but those blocks are entirely or almost entirely not structurally necessary. If you do encounter a major issue, please, let me know so I can resolve it.

I would like to put a disclaimer forward that this is NOT a Truman, at least, not exactly. It definitely looks the part, which was part of the goal, but this isn't a replica of the canon design nor is it intended as one. Rather it is a Space Engineers design that is heavily based upon the Truman Class Battleship from The Expanse, and made to be a UNN rival to the MCRN Lapithes.

Knightmare Industries presents the UNN Pegasus. Part of Knightmare Industries' latest generation of warships, the Pegasus is designed to be a fleet flagship. It has two large, connected hangars, redundant command centers and communications arrays, a heavy armor hull, and substantial firepower. The ship is named for Pegasus, a mythical winged horse from Greek mythology, and was the mount of many famous heroes from Greek mythology.

The Pegasus' primary propulsion are six hybrid Hydrogen - Ion engines with Ion Thrusters for maneuvers. The ship is powered by a series of Large Reactors, and has a substantial battery backup system that can power the ship should the reactors fail. There is an array of Jump Drives giving it a maximum jump range of 3,496 Km. The Pegasus is armed with 64 Gatling Turrets, 62 Missile Turrets, 46 Interior Turrets, and 24 fixed forward firing Rocket Launchers. The hull is completely heavy armor, and has multiple layers of protection at the front of the ship, as well as reinforcing around critical ship components. The hangar bays allow for small craft to dock, and the ship has a few assemblers and basic refineries for repairs during deployment.

The Pegasus has 19 internal decks, which include the bridge, storage spaces, airlocks, armories, marine barracks, medical facilities, the CIC, galleys, officer quarters, crew quarters, the hangars, and engineering. There is also easy access to the "guts" of the ship where gyros, thrusters, power and more are located.

The ship is built fully vanilla and survival ready, with an interior in the style of "The Expanse." I use a light changing script to switch around the interior light settings. Its an older script and I couldn't find the original creator. The script was updated by ColTeH for my use. There are also a few other program and timer blocks if you need them. You may have noticed already, but the ship uses DLC blocks.

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.

Author's Notes
Well, finally its done. I was building this hull alongside the Lapithes, but it took a bit longer to complete. As I said, it's based heavily on the UNN Truman Class Battleship, but is not actually a replica for that ship. There are details everywhere that are different, if you're into that kind of thing. I'm not into making replicas as much. There are plenty of others who are far better at it than myself. I prefer to take a design and make the most out of it in Space Engineers. That allows me to take a more relaxed approach to ship building and make changes where necessary.
I'm thankful to have this one done though. Finally a decent UNN ship to rival the Lapithes for those of you who just want to smash big ships together. To be honest, its probably a better overall design, with more thrust and better firepower. But who knows? I haven't thrown them at each other yet even. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the ship.

If you have any questions or comments about the ship, please leave them in the comments below. Thank you for browsing this item. Safe Voyages! Papple.

Yes, it does work with thruster damage on, as all of my ships should. That's the intention, at least. If it doesn't, please let me know so I can fix it as soon as possible.

Papple this ship is simply epic. Build quality, redundant CICs projectors, hangar and armed to the teeth. This is my favorite survival ship it's masterfully built. Congrats!

I tried using the bright white lights, but it just didn't look good in my opinion with the block color. I may look into working on that in the future, as I want to give people the feeling that they're in a UNN/MCRN ship.

That's true, not being able to paint individual sides is a bit of a bummer. The best one can do in that situation is working with the lights.

Right, that's correct. It was something I considered when building it, but it would have taken a lot more to get the interior right and keep that consistent with exterior. Unfortunately you can't paint blocks in multiple colors. I opted to give it the standard interior lighting that my ships have. Of course you're welcome to modify it, change the hull color and the light settings to your liking.

Looks great, the only thing I'd tweak would be the interior lighting and color. If I remember correctly from the show, UN ships tended to have interiors that were well-lit and painted in an off-white color.
