Here's a huge dreadnought loosely based on the Executor.

All about the Ion Beams.
Oneye Ok, thanks for the feedback anyways!
@Oneye, @Fort_Master_Gustav, what are your opinions on grid-aligning triangles? Something like an ISD-type ship? Here's my premier Superdreadnought (uses Kroom's Forge, Huge Ships and SW ACD).
If y'all don't mind, please give me criticism on what all is wrong with it and tell me how I can make it better. Thanks!- Edited
Hey @Bochinator, I'd like to offer a bit of constructive criticism.
Having all of your reactor cores clustered together like that isn't a very effective. Crew will group to the closest one, ignoring the others. Try spreading them out a bit, putting them closer to the systems that need them. The same goes for crew quarters, as crew will return to them if they have nothing else to do. One of my earlier ship designs put all of the reactors in the center of the ship, and if it were a Bounty Hunter enemy, it would be wiped out almost instantly. I see this mostly on your smaller ships, but larger ships like the Bruiser and the Block also seem to suffer from this problem. A good rule-of-thumb to go by is making sure that your reactors are at least 4 blocks apart. Granted, I myself break this rule quite often, but it prevent huge chain reactions of reactors blowing each other up.
Another thing that could help is to flush out the hull of your ships. Take, for instance, the Longbow. You could flush out the shields, boost engines and PD to make them more effective. Also, you could make the Railgun nozzles flush with the shields up top and maybe fit another accelerator.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Another tip I learned off the forums is that you don't need the power bar to be at the recommended point. Halfway between the minimum and recommended is completely fine.
TheSquidNextDoor I think I got cancer just from looking at it...

Well, my capital ships are my largest and most powerful creations, it's only fair that they all get featured.
My Advancer Superdreadnought (and Starkiller variant.)
My Federation Dreadnought (and carrier variant.)
My Omega Gen. 1 Fleet Carrier (it has multiple variants.)
My Rebel Superdreadnought (comes with 7 fighters!)
My RMMF Grand Admiral's Yacht.
And finally, the largest ship in pure dimensions...
My Omega Gen. 2 Superdreadnought (with 300+ turbolasers!)My Federation Dreadnought, Rebel Superdreadnought and RMMF Grand Admiral's Yacht are all vanilla.
oofHere's a ISD-esqe ship crammed with weapons and shields.
It's 362x204 blocks from the widest and longest points.
My Vanilla Superdreadnought! For when you really need something dead! Like, REALLY need it dead.
Even comes equipped with 7 fighters for convenience!Jesus3747 To that, I raise my much smaller, ISD-based Supercarrier and it's variants.
(The only mods used were Huge Ships and Kroom's Forge.)- In Motherships
Well, here's my Advancer Starkiller for your consideration. 
This is my Advancer Faction Fleet
This is my Omega Faction Gen 1 FleetMy capital ship is actually a fleet carrier with multiple loadouts.
(All of these only use the Krooms Forge mod.)
This one is just the base fleet carrier, nothing inside...yet.
This one is a dedicated supercarrier, meant to house swarms of fighters and light vessels.
This one is meant to deploy an entire defensive fleet at a system, carrying 9 Defense satellites, 1 Light Outpost, 4 Fighters and 2 Attackers.
This one is meant to deploy a blockade fleet, consisting of 3 Heavy Frigates, 1 Light Outpost and 6 Patrol Ships.
This one carries a light offensive fleet, consisting of 2 Multipurpose Cruisers, 2 Heavy Destroyers, 2 Light Destroyers, 3 Patrol Cruisers and a Flak Barge.
This variant carries a heavy offensive fleet of 2 Heavy Cruisers, 2 Light Cruisers and 3 Patrol Cruisers.
This version of the fleet carrier simply carries a battleship into the fray. Even without undocking, the two are a fearsome bundle.
Maybe posting a new faction with these as the capital ships? Idk.
TacticalGirl Should I deploy the firewall?
Shmirtz Yes, I do but only for the shields. Just replace the microtech shields with the SW variant and it'll be fine (for the most part...)

Thank you for your support.
After much consideration, we will be providing John Harrdy (Hair - dee) as our Serator. He is an experienced negotiator and one of the few men to captain the highly experimental new dreadnought model. It's still in development, we are currently testing it against Vanguard-class vessels. Our supply of vessels is ready for you to use, we have metric craptons of most of our smaller and medium sized vessels. Just 'ship' them from here (get it? Spaceships? No? Yeah, that wasn't even remotely good...)https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/3288-new-thread-the-new-terran-republicWe are glad to see that you are sensible men, but we will not need any protection. On the contrary, we would like to ask for funding from the Alliance to build our fleet, and protect against larger, intergalactic threats such as the Imperium of Suns and the Black Star Fleet. We have only seen what they let us see, and our largest, most powerful ships would do next to nothing against such foes. Our factories are numerous, they can only produce so much as the consumer desires. We have been developing mobile blockader vessels for planetary defense, and with the might of our factions combined, we could bring strength and prosperity to the universe. So I ask of you, all of you...ARE! YOU! WITH ME?!
(out of character)
But seriously tho, the BSF has ABH. we need some ships to protect against that. I've been experimenting with the DSL from SWACD and I've found the absolute largest mobile blockade the game will allow legally. Long story short, it's wall of "ur ded boi" as a ship. Just reply to this post with your answer.[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]
Attention Galactic Alliance, this is the New Terran Republic. We have searched for another faction or group of factions that share our ideals for some time. This alliance appears to align with them for the most part, so we seek to join. We have multiple mining facilities set up around the galaxy, ready and willing to be put to use or re-purposed for whatever we need, something that would benefit your alliance financially. Please leave a message in our introduction statement to confirm or deny this proposal. One warning before you decide; if you are not our ally, you are our enemy, and that is a very dangerous thing to be.
