    Hey everyone,

    on behalf of the Builders League, i'd like to welcome you to a little challenge. ;-)

    As you all know, the MS TITAN is part of the fleet that was leaving Earth in 2473 to find Empyrion. The ship got stranded somewhere in Andromeda and crashed to the planet nearby.

    Now, we don't want to create the wreckage (at least not in this thread), but the ship as it was before!

    First and foremost: the shape of the original "Titan" is well known, but it is NOT neccessarily the goal of this thread to re-build it 1:1, but to find a design that is worth the importance of this ship and resembles its iconic shape. You can of course submit a refit or modernized version! :cool:

    Said that: this challenge is open to either submitting a re-build (and modernized) TITAN or a design that could be the TITAN. So get creative. Any design that could fit, will be reviewed!

    There are some rules of course:
    - The Titan is a Frigate, not a Carrier. So the MAX SIZE should be somewhere around the original size at about 51x16x66 large blocks (WHD; ~ 102m/32m/132m)
    - Blueprint Class is MAX 6
    - The TITAN is part of the expedition force, not a colonizer, so it wont have extensive gardening areas, but more tool- and vessel-support areas, crew quarters for long-range / long-time self-supply etc.
    - The TITAN is a frigate, but not heavily armed, so take care with adding turrets
    - Although being a frigate, there is a logic which ship compartments are expected and where ;-)

    Global Rules for any design must be followed:
    http://empyriononline.com/threads/read-first-global-building-requirements.11797/

    Most important also: NO replicas of scifi movies or other games (Halo, Mass Effect, Fractured Space etc...)

    Looking forward to your creative designs and submissions!

    Cheers,

    PS: If you send in an existing design, please link the Workshop link and name the initial author.

    Is that really its size? Im looking at a CV from workshop that's literally been put together from the 3 crashed Titan parts - and its 66 x 192 x 50 m (W x D x H).

    Right. Thanks for the clarification - I've always thought the ship found on Akua is the crashed Titan.

    EDIT: But youknow, it can be bit confusing as the crashed ship parts in Akua do say they are MS TITAN, not TALOS :)

    So if the TITAN is not the wreckage on akua, which ship is it? Can you post pictures of the current model(s)?

    Yep, i think the Titan label on Akua is wrong. Have this on my todo list for a while already.

    This is the TITAN:

    Yeah, because of the wrong labels on Akua this confusion was going on like forever...
    There are some reconstructions of the Talos named Titan on the workshop...

    Hmm...Hummelowar... i dont share your enthusiasm for the the Titan Label and I hope I am not alone in this opinion. I think the Titan(Talos Cruiser) Label is muuuch more modern as the Origin Titan.
    I personally believe that for a Frigate Type are these MAX Size (51x16x66 large blocks) to little. I personal build a Talos Cruiser sister Vessel.

    I think the Size are good for it :D

    best regards

    Frigate class ships are not huge.

    Yeah, a frigate in Empyrion should be between 60 and 80 blocks long and half of that width IMO. I'd imagine a cruiser would be twice that
