Socrates Class Cruiser (LSG Build Challenge)

(I do realise there are two of these, but I MUST have a cover picture, or thumb picture on this beauty, and being on a different PC I could not update my previous version, and only access the workshop version I already posted, resulting in creating an entirely new workshop upload X( .)


A long range deep space exploration/science vessel, the Socrates Class cruiser is capable of extended missions due to the new Voyager Drive System, which is set at the center of the ship, rotating and is the main source of power to the large vessel. The Socrates Class has a large hanger bay often used to store cargo, as well as dedicated cargo storage at the front of the vessel. This is a non-combat vessel, and lacks major armaments to hold attacks other than minor ones, but the defences are mainly to protect the ship from the occasional meteor shows, and light raiders.

The ship is self sufficent, being forced to go on very long expeditions in deep space, far from any space ports or trade routes. The ship handels fairly decently, but lacks speed, and has a great storage capacity making the treks possible.

This particular ship of the Socrates class is called "the Logos"

(Some inspiration from a few of Video Sage's ship designs and especially hallway designs, and Also to Aaron for the incredible rotor trick!)

DO NOTE: This ship can get really laggy due to the insane ammount of spotlights. It is recommended that you press "L" if you intend to fly this thing around.

The "Voyager Drive" is attached onto a rotor, despite that I have figured out a way to make sure that it DOES NOT break off! :D Meaning, I have not yet been able to actually tear it off by flying around with it. So no need to worry about it.

FEATURES:

-Rotating command chair (Because that is very important)

-Awesome looking engine room

-Several observation decks

-five thousand gyroscopes for a decent turning speed for a vessel of its size

-Thirteen defence turrets (definetly needz moar dakka)

-Glowing Bridge (for looks)

-Enough batteries when fully charged, keep the ship flying at full speed for about 3 days

-Way too many spotlights to make certain parts of the ship glow in a very cool fashion (there are so many lights that most of the time there is a rendering problem for the ship. You can press "L" for the spotlights to come offline, and the Voyager Drive will still be illuminated)

-Large Hanger Bay

-Awesome Design

-Confrence Room

-For the Emperor

-Glowing Star Trek Nacells
