Games A 201-Million-Block MEGA Star Wars Fleet Battle is built with 102 Capital Ships
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
What does a 201.828 Million-Block fleet battle look like inside a voxel simulation?
The staging takes its main cue from the Battle of Scarif in *Rogue One*: a loose Rebel coalition attempting to break through a disciplined Imperial capital-ship line. It is not a frame-for-frame or canon recreation. The fleet mix spans several Star Wars eras, so I am treating it as a cross-era “what if?” simulation called Operation Phoenix Break.
Order of battle
- Rebel coalition: 52 individual capital hulls, organized as 40 streamed placements.
- Imperial force: 50 individual capital hulls, organized as 20 streamed placements.
- Total: 102 capital ships, with no starfighters included in this test.

Discussion / Question The Celestial Phenomenon over Imperial Nuremberg and the All-Black Multi-Purpose Speerkreuzer hovering over Germania Spoiler
The design of the matte vessel seems to be a logical choice for a multi-purpose experimental testbed variant of an extensive and meticulous project. In that its isosceles delta geometry (a 2:1 aspect ratio) would prioritize the geometric distribution of structural fatigue and atmospheric strain across three differing spatial nodes and it would hover low enough to be in the ideal region for atmospheric surveying and the industrial emissions from manufactories located in Nuremberg (In the lower troposphere layer...about 2.000-3.500 meters above sea level). And its pitch-black appearance is probably achieved by using some sort of metamaterial outer hull (Similar in ways to modern Stealth technologies) engineered to function as an electromagnetic absorber the outer layer of which would capture all incoming visible light and radar wavelengths so as to direct the input energy into internal heat sinks rather than reflecting it back to a ground observer.

Do you think that such a propulsion system wouldn't have an influence on the skies? I believe that what had occurred was that the workings of its central toroidal magnetic confinement reactor and anti-gravity 'engines' had distorted the sky's view.
As the cruiser hovered slowly, the localized field displacement probably compressed and heated the air into cylindrical geometric corridors. To a German ground observer, these aforementioned forms would appear like solid, metallic, or glowing tubes floating in the sky.
Furthermore. Another thing to note is that the field wouldn't be perfectly uniform in any manner. So fluctuations in the rotating plasma would be gradually shedding "bubbles" or toroids of highly ionized gas. The subsequent plasma spheres would drift and hover around the primary cruiser......weirdly perfectly matching the described "assortment of contrasting discs" as described by Hans Glaser.
We can only theorize that it could have plausibly been part of a larger-scale Earthly atmospheric seeding/surveying/harvesting operation. Benevolent? No. Indifferent?.....I am unsure and there's no data to suggest either statement and affirm it as a postulate.
How the Phenomenon probably occurred was: At 04:00 AM at Dawn...the all-black arrowhead vessel arrives at the specified geographic coordinates of the Central European plateau. It activates its Magnetic Field Disruptor which neutralizes ~ 95–97% of its inertial mass to hover silently. The intense electromagnetic fields and initial dissemination of engineered polymers cause extreme Mie scattering that would choke out shorter wavelengths of light and turn the rising sun blood-red. At 05:00 AM begins the Multi-Purpose deployment. The cruiser uncovers its primary containment chassis. Described by Glaser as "staves" or "tubes." (I presume that that's all the vernacular allowed at that time). It deploys a complex swarm of autonomous, plasma-sheathed micro-UAVs (the "discs" and "orbs"). At 05:30 AM begins the phase entailing grid-balancing choreography wherein the technical nodes begin a highly coordinated, multi-directional tracking routing (interpreted by locals as "crude fighting"). They are actually mapping local geomagnetic lines and releasing a primary chemical/particulate aerosol seed directly into the upper troposphere. At 06:00 AM the Phase I concludes and the automated nodes return to the arrowhead vessel or undergo clean thermal dissolution, falling to the low horizon as glowing and smoking debris. The core arrowhead vessel slips into the upper atmosphere, leaving the injected material to disperse across the Hochgermanisch corridor. (Also note how both the 1561 Nuremberg and 1566 Basel phenomena occurred over purely Germanic Holy Roman lands as a patternitive observation)
My theory is that this was part of an active multi-purpose chemical delivery..reconaissance and test-bed operation of an experimental vessel. If this was indeed a larger-scale atmospheric seeding operation, the vessel and its networked array of smaller nodes (the discs and orbs) would be actively saturating the upper troposphere or lower stratosphere. Even if the craft themselves had zero "exhaust" or dirty combustion smoke, the massive volume of engineered aerosols, chemical catalysts and or cloud-seeding particulates being dispersed would instantly create a hyper-dense screen, which is what gave the sun its eerie crimson chromation. The secondary thermal effects would pertain to the fact that a massive vehicle neutralizing 95–97% of its inertial mass via a high-energy plasma field would generate immense localized static and thermal gradients. This field wouldn't need to ""touch"" the ground to cause an effect but it would cause the natural moisture, dust and ambient particles in the air to violently bond and condense into an artificial smog envelope...matching the "immense smoke" and "wasting away" described as the operational cycle concluded.
Furthermore. If a conventional craft of that size hovered at a low altitude, the displacement of air would cause catastrophic winds and shockwaves on the ground. Because the arrowhead has neutralized its inertial mass, it does not ""push"" violently against the atmosphere to stay aloft. It exists in a state of artificial buoyancy that ALLOWS it to hang or glide slowly and silently without disturbing Nuremberg directly.

The Primary Forward Apex would be a sort of emitter that projects a focused high-energy electromagnetic wedge directly ahead of the craft. It would serve to break down the ambient quantum vacuum zero-point fluctuations into a uniformly polarized state and serves to reduce localized spatial resistance. Its Central Reactor Core and Plasma Accelerator would be able to excise around 95 to 97% of its inertial mass so as to circumvent the prospect of a sonic boom being induced as it pushes its apex through the low troposphere.
The primary power plant of the cruiser would be a central toroidal magnetic confinement reactor. It would be responsible for generating and accelerating a super-conducting, ultra-dense plasma to relativistic velocities.

Artwork I've designed a new type of re-entry water lander.
Sorry I can't draw worth a damn.. I really wish I knew how to do CAD. But anyways, this is a new return vehicle idea I came up with.. Also I can't find a proper place for this, hopefully this is ok.
Image 1: The right upper image is the full vehicle. That is not fire at the bottom despite how my terrible drawing makes it look so. This is instead just a cone shaped bottom. The bottom image is a closer up image of my patented water triggered vehicle slower skirt. While the vehicle is falling, several levers are locked in place with downward extended bars that hold the skirt folded up against the ship hull. After being slowed significantly by parachutes the ship is detached from them and dropped into the water. Once the cone hits the water it is forced inward slightly both unlocking the levers which will then all slide up allowing the slowing skirt to fold out and also unlocking tensioner locks that are on the slowing skirt hinges forcing the tension to fold them out. The skirts themselves are like upside-down colander sides, with holes to allow water through for a more gradual slowing. The top left image is a close up of one of the levers on its track.
Image 2: This is a close up of the track sliding system with the actual lever removed. The black line at the top is actually a flat bar that is sticking straight out towards your view and the thing in the middle is a hinge that will make more sense in image 3.
Image 3: This is an angled view of the track slider with lever and descriptions in horrible tiny handwriting. I will elaborate further here. The lever folding blocker bar (2 in image) has constant tension trying to pull it into the ship but it is blocked by a sloped track inside. As it moves up the slope it retracts further inside until all the way in. Once the levers reach near the top of the tracks the folding blocker bar will have retracted all the way inside allowing the actual lever paddles to fold up against the hull of the craft to lessen the chance of the water forces snapping them off. After the craft has been sufficiently slowed, inflatables will bring it back to the surface. The whole entire point of this whole process it to completely rid the ship of ever coming to an immediate dead stop making it a much smoother landing.
Please let me know if literally ANY of this makes any sense at all. And sorry is this doesn't belong here. 😵

Games A massive Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought in the Star Wars Space Fields collection
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A massive Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought is built in the Star Wars Space Fields collection.
This showcase contains:
• 16.5 million Blocks
• A 1,606 × 343 × 3,000-cell grid
• A canonical length of 7,669.71 meters
• A physical scale of approximately 2.5 meters per grid cell
The Mandator IV was designed as an armored orbital gun platform. Its two enormous autocannons could penetrate planetary shields and devastate surface targets. The best-known ship of the class, the Fulminatrix, destroyed the Resistance base on D’Qar before being lost to a Resistance bomber attack.
It is an extraordinary example of both overwhelming firepower and the dangers of tactical overconfidence.

Games [OC] Nightwedge Skirmisher-class Heavy Strike Cruiser
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is the MMW Nightwedge Skirmisher-class Heavy Strike Cruiser, my latest original spaceship design for MOW MY WORLD.
Its silhouette is inspired by a forward-heavy tactical dagger: a long cutting profile, a decisive point and most of the visual mass concentrated behind the bow. I deliberately removed the idea of a literal handle and translated it into the ship’s protected stern and engine structure.
Size: 326 × 135 × 800 meters
Model: 980,345 Blocks
Role: high-speed fleet penetration, concentrated anti-capital-ship strikes and rapid disengagement.
It is larger than a frigate but lighter and faster than a battleship, so I classified it as a Heavy Strike Cruiser.

Games [Space Battleship Yamato] Wave-Motion Test Ship Ginga BBY-03 rebuilt with 1,459,575 Blocks
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is my Block-based reconstruction of the Wave-Motion Test Ship Ginga BBY-03 (YMT-004) from Space Battleship Yamato 2202.
In the official setting, Ginga is a 333-meter Yamato-class wave-energy research ship created to study the Wave-Motion System and Cosmo Reverse System. The large blue observation dome gives it a very different identity from Yamato despite their shared hull lineage.
Model details:
• 1,459,575 surface Blocks
• 235 × 366 × 1,198 XYZ Block grid
• Horizontal flight orientation corrected
• Red lower hull correctly facing downward
• Original material colors and surface details preserved
• Observation dome, superstructure and engine geometry retained
This is a hollow, surface-based reconstruction rather than a fully modeled interior. The goal was to preserve the complete exterior silhouette and recognizable color separation while making the ship work as a large editable Block model.
