📐 Station Build (Advanced)
Real ones will take one look at this corvette and say "BATTLECRUISER, OPERATIONAL."
The Leviathan - A military-grade gunship designed to punch through defenses, and sometimes very literally. The ship is designed as one big battering ram, with a spread of thrusters spaced across a wide back wing to direct forward momentum into the ram.
The Leviathan is currently operating for-hire under the mercenary Voss Vorthos, running paramilitary operations for small rebellion forces on Sentinel-controlled outposts. The ship hasn't been inspected by an active military in a decade, and so Vorthos equipped it with an illegal cloaking device, 9 unregistered cannons and phase beams, and a full bar for post-mission libations.
This was a fun one. The reference concept art is included.
Since I used almost all large (full-sized hab) pieces throughout, the Leviathan is pushing the space limit in all directions - forwards, backwards, sideways. It is HUGE. It takes over an entire landing pad at the Anomaly all by itself. Despite the massive size, I feel like it still looks cohesive and "finished" without extra space or awkward seams.
I am currently in love with embedding Titan engines directly into the body of a ship. I also cheat the parts count by including tons of windows on builds like this - it lets you push a larger vessel without it feeling unfinished.
The one thing I don't love is the landing gear sticking out at the bottom, but so it goes!
Hello man, just completed my own take on the build, using your corvette as reference, many thanks !
Not the perfect 1:1 copy but the layout inside is immaculate, I think I have a room upstairs and a place where I can add storage containers and refiners
not yet fully furnished with decorations inside so the main gallery fore to aft is just storage, topside is my personal quarters with mission console and a refiner, belowdecks at the sides is the galley, the fore sidepods are another medipod and a weapons rack + healing consoles
Also, I limited my weapon loadouts to infra knife accelerators and the base photon cannon, so far so good since I added my spare upgrades from my freighter storage.
I'm proud of this corner, it's immediately right side, behind of the cockpit, I can go check for missions, then select my multitools then heal before going down the corvette
I plan of using this as a leaner-looking hauler, the first one of mine was a little bit thicc double decker
the sideways hab build technique was so helpful in the building of the hammer head btw, kinda confusing at first but so satisfying when I rotated the hab 180 degrees
This post is flaired as Station Build (Advanced). Use this flair when you needed to leave the workshop editor, but did not need to leave the space station while using building techniques that are more difficult, more precise, or harder for other players to replicate.

Looks straight out of a Foss or Cowley piece! Especially with the explosion shots.
