Hey, Felix! Well, the lower baseplates are made sturdy by super beams that
run the length of the ship on each side. This sort of beam is just regular
bricks sandwiched between long 2-by plates. In the middle of the ship are
walls to help hold the flooring (one area is the torpedo room, the other the
cargo bay). I also added two columns in the middle of the hangerbay
connecting to the technic crossbeams above. I connected the seams between
the lower baseplates with long 2-by plates. The technic crossbeams above
also hold up the upper baseplates. Of course, I tried to minimize overall
weight by using castle walls, Arctic window walls, and BURPs. Good luck on
your ship!
