and my last non-reply post, just for the sake of credibility; here is a screenshot from my own +100 hour playthrough. yes the last name is retarded, i wanted to a captain janeway-esque name and i was high and drunk. probably should have just named him zack janeway

as you can see from the sheer, inordinate size of my vessel i put a lot of fucking work, time, and planning into it. it was loosely modeled off the ebon hawk but around the time of this screenshot i was COMPLETELY burnt out. and quit shortly after hitting several million, getting my torch drive set up, buying the apartment, etc - and ultimately being extremely dissatisfied with my experience. by this point in the save the game was also starting to fall apart at the seams and weird shit with the flying, docking, NPC spawn rates, space cop behavior, so on, were all forcing me to reload saves

every last tile and object you see i had to personally collect - the little airlock with the candy-striped door and the rectangle immediately below it were the original bones of my starting ship. i'll post a second picture in a different viewmap mode so you can get a better look at the shape and size.

you can see just how tiny my little guy is in the top right. it's a fucking massive ship. yes i'm bragging
