The Pirate shipyards have been hard at work! The Pirate I is coming closer to completion. We have just finished the most crucial part of the Pirate I. We have just placed the drone control station in. The drone control station includes features like: A travel hub to get to all the parts of the Pirate I in a fast and efficient way. A drone bay for defense and repair of the Pirate I. The drones will also repair and service merchant vessels that dock. A promenade for simple relaxation. The construction crew passed these pictures on to us and we will explain them!
We sent one of the crew in to drone bay (strictly forbidden for a human to be there unless otherwise ordered!). He took some good snap shots. The lower port entrance is the entrance for the drone repair facility and the one directly to the right is the exit for the drone repair facility. On the far right you can see the entrance to the drone construction floor.
Looking down from the same room you can see the different levels of engineering. However no equipment has been installed yet. Only the bare equipment is installed.
This is the view when you look directly up from the main promenade. Very high ceilings to accommodate the life forms that frequent the station. The crews are busy at work installing walkways and trees up there!
The top of the station in the foreground and the Pirate I's left and right arm in the back. Very breath taking. We have already had to take a few people to our hospital from sheer astonishment of these views.
Our crews have been hard at work! Now that the control station is in place our crews can begin construction on the habitation ring. It is only a matter of time before people can start building their own cities with in the harbor ship itself!
Here are a few more shots of the control station to give perspective... the ship has yet to be fitted with a variety of devices used in parallel to the drone system, so it does appear a bit lonely in the middle there by itself, but it really is far from small on it's own.
Very nice work guys, best building in construction ever built. I'm seeing both quality, and quantity. Excellent amount of detail in shape, I've never seen any building anywhere near as complex, looks awesome.
Update: Finished the Sup cap dock, although no doors have been put on yet.
Picture One: With the main components of the dock completed our drone ships can dock and refit. Here you can see them docked. The ship on the left is a drone carrier and the ship on the right is a drone dread.
Picture Two: Our camera man took a top down shot of the ships in dock.
Picture Three: Another shot from the side where you can see the docking struts and the plasma holding clamps.
Picture Four: Here you can see the Pirate I super capital ships in dock from one of our many viewing platforms. Many of the inhabitants enjoy watching the dreads sit in dock.

I've got a couple other projects I might post up here sometime, though.
you mean along the lines of si not working right? =(
now that would be a feat in congenieering

You can see the core that powers the drone station. Very dangerous. You would be wise to stay out!

In this picture you can see the drone bay from the main promenade. Many visitors to the control ship enjoy watching the drones take off and land.

On the way out the same worker snapped a shot of some drones in the docking hangers.

In this picture you can see the dome above the engineering section (above the core). It is a dome shape to contain the possible explosion of the core.

A view often seen by many travelers. This is a view from a landing pad on the control station.

Btw, My guess is around 5,000 pieces total right now. Am I close?
i estimate about 8000, considering si can hold itself together upto 40k pieces, this is going to be stupidly immense when done
Phear teh Bentusi.
Me too.
