Specifics:
Hull and structure must be entirely combat steel
The ship must be Class 5
The ship must include the hangar bay nestled into the nose of the ship, in between and behind the main guns
The real ship has a rotating mid section that is impossible in Empyrion. Therefore In your design, have it in the horizontal position. (out like wings)
I’ll likely use it for extra hangar space.
Try to make it large, size wise. It should have redundant systems (More than 1 bank or group of generators, RCS, fuel tanks) in different locations on the ship.
To get paid, post here that you intend to try to build the ship. Let me acknowledge that I’ve seen your post, and then you can get started.
You’ll be paid in stages for your work, so that you can get $$ for your time spent even if you don’t finish the ship all the way:
I’ll pay 1m for anyone I acknowledge just for trying and making an empty hull shell in game.
I’ll pay 5m if I wind up using your hull sketch and finishing it myself ( I dont want to do this )
I’ll pay 10m for The Complete Ship, without textures/decals - If I accept your hull shell and ask you to finish it
I’ll pay 15m for The Complete Ship, with decals and textures, if I accept your finished design and ask you to decal/texture it.
I’ll pay 20m If the ship is everything I dreamed of

Feel free to use the ship, enter it in contests, or whatever you like if you are the original author. I’m just paying for your time and a copy of the blueprint
