Victorian Explorer's Steamship

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!

I've been playing around with a few 'steampunky' themed designs and I think I'm on to a good one. I spend most of my time playing on PVP / PVE Exploration servers but I seem to spend most of my time traveling away from my barrier protected base. My play style has evolved into a more nomadic method of playing where I pretty much live on a ship now. It makes for fantastic adventuring especially when I pick up the occasional hitch hiker! After spending a bit of time dabbling around with the editor I do believe I have designed my perfect ship!

I present to you the HMS Corvus! My adventurer/Explorer's ship!

The Corvus is a predominately wooden constructed ship built on a Large Ship platform. She is powered with 4 steam engines with energy siphoned off for interior lighting, fog lights etc.

I have attempted to give the impression of a weathered looking vessel that has seen many an adventure. I particularly like the steam chimney created from sandstone pillars. Notice that I have placed a lockable gate across the engine bay to discourage griefers! :) . The nearby sacks and barrels are used to stockpile engine fuel. She has a fairly brisk speed on the sea and can reach distant Islands in a matter of minutes. There are benches available for (Riff Raff) Travellers!

I have attempted to decorate the interior in such a manner as to reflect a stylish Victorian train carriage (Think Wild Wild West Movie!). The space is separated into four sections and contains everything I require for my adventures.

OFFICE SPACE. Suitable for study, map reading, note writing. I have since introduced a potion crafting station as well although not visible in this image. Any little trophies I have acquired from my travels I have placed on display!

RECREATION. Kick back with a book or a meal and watch the sun set over the waves. This is the best place to use those First Person Views.

ARMOURY. .....As a keen Victorian Gent, what better way is there to select my equipment, stride out with a dashing moustace, and blow away a small mammal to kingdom come!  Huzzah!

SLEEPING QUARTERS. At the end of a hard day's shooting and exploring, I have a decent cot for myself and traveling companion/manservant. I have embedded a cabinet/wardrobe to store my various outfits. The door to the left leads to the Ships Helm.

 

I would say that this has been my best vehicular creation on Ylands yet. I am very pleased with how the overall design looks and I am looking forward to Vehicle Blueprints becoming a reality so that I might be able to make this my standard vessel for Exploration gameplay. I look forward to you feedback and I will hopefully upload this, and some of my previous work onto the community creations soon!

 

Thanks Guys!

Rob

That's very much appreciated mate! I'm going through a Victorian 'darkest africa' expedition theme at the moment and it seemed like the perfect adventure vehicle! :)
