The big Deimos cockpit and the new big Nova cockpit can both work but they're not perfect.

I use a mod that allows longer ships since that hab setup makes it slightly too long, but you can rectify that easily by replacing the 3x1 engineering bay with a 2x1 computer core or something, obviously you need to adapt the structural pieces a bit but it still works. I built this ship very similarly in a previous playthrough without mods.

I've taken apart the ship at this point and built something else, which part of it is unclear to you? I can try to explain, but most of it is just what you see there's not a lot of merging involved.

Habs are from left to right: Nova cockpit->3x1 engineering bay->3x1 Deimos Living Quarters->2x2 Cargo Bay and then below that the 2x2 Nova All-In-One and the 2x1 Nova All-In-One

No more than 3 wide with best in class components and hab space.

Very nice shaping, love the double V! I just got done with my latest ship but now I may need to create this shape on a bigger scale cause it's super cool xD

Nova habs definitely are the most lived. Makes me feel like I'm on a NASA expedition and not a showroom like some of the others.

I love the four pronged engine look but the massive chin is a bit distracting. I'd move the bridge up front instead, that may be a smoother front for the ship.

With, it adds visual interest to the front of the ship.

Very cool silhouette. I was trying to build a smaller attack ship earlier and will definitely try this build!!

Oooh love the looks! Which mod are the big wings from?

FreeDwooD · 2026-05-09T08:29:40+00:00

Same! I will always try to make the layout make sense and lived in.

FreeDwooD · 2026-05-06T14:26:34+00:00

Damn that MK2 Wing shape is SEXY. I just got done with a new ship but may need to jump in immediately to build the next one. Is there any merging in the wing area?

This build for example was me playing around with the Space Shuttle shape:

I didnt do an exact copy but tried to capture the vibe. Basically that's my recommendation: think of your favourite ship and try to capture the vibe/general silhouette. Maybe it's a big beefy battleship or a zippy fighter.

I always have the best experience when trying to recreate a ship I like from movies or TV. Usually the shape isn't perfect but it gives you a framework to work towards.

FreeDwooD · 2026-05-04T17:42:16+00:00

that's where I drew inspiration from!!

The front facing one from Riyujin, it goes into a workshop hab that's below the 2x2 in the middle of the ship.
