Hello, people. I'm the boy who wrote "Where are the carriers?" in the first
place. I just wanted everyone to know about a new and effective building
method that solves many problems that are associated with massive
starships (battlecruisers, battleships, carriers, etc.) I have a fleet command
ship that uses this method. How this method works is, you build a frame of
technic beams and pegs, put the ship's internal components inside the frame,
and cover the frame with plates. Here's what I mean:
............
. .. . Frame(head-on view)
........... .
. ...........
. .. .
............
............................
. . . . .
....................................
. . . . .... Frame(side view)
....................................
. . . . .
............................
As you can see, this one is somewhat tube-shaped, with a hexagonal perimeter
frame with cross supports, and beams linking each hexagonal section. However,
I think everyone can easily think of their own frames. After doing the frame,
just give it a skin of large plates, after you add the internal components.
Get it?

| (...) I originally envisioned Marathon in this manner, with a primary structure of Technic beams and connectors. The problem was too much dislocation of the plates; I always wanted them to fit more tightly than they'd go without buckling under (...) (25 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.space)
