Plus now you can see it from farther away.

I went and took a quick look around.  Looks damn good guys.  Fixed a couple doors in the lounge while I was looking around.  BTW, there was a random person on the server, might want to check to make sure nothing got mucked up.  Hard to tell with some people.

The thing is, the clouds would intersect it no matter where it was positioned (they can be turned off in-game, FYI). I asked qaz to move Fenris upwards 40m or so - I didn't know exactly how much I'd need. He ended up bumping it up 47m. Now that the bottom turret is completed, I'm not opposed to lowering the height somewhat... perhaps leave the bottom turret 10m off the ground or so. It'll still be way higher than it was... I added around 25m worth of blocks to the bottom after it was raised, after all.

Yeah, I think even moving it down so that the turret was 10 blocks or so off the bottom would be enough.  It brings the bulk of the ship a little bit closer to where it was before, instead of having to crane your neck all the way up to see it.  And I know the clouds will wind up intersecting regardless, but I figured it'd be more ideal if they didn't cut right through the first floor that people will see.

Might have been me.  I'm pretty noobish in Minecraft, but I still wanted to get to see it.  I kept dying from hunger before I could get a good look.  (and I couldn't figure out how to get inside either.  That giant stack of blocks was my last attempt right as I ran out of time. >.>)

If you want to try again and no one else is on, we have plenty of cake in Fenris Station (where you spawn when you warp to the Fenris), and right down the path from spawn proper, there's a sign pointing to a food dispenser.  There should also be an old melon farm right behind spawn, and whatever food is in the storehouse.

As for getting in the Fenris, the whole entryway has been moved up, but it looks like someone built a ladder up to it.  Facing the Fenris, follow the path to the left and up the steps, then climb the long ladder, and you'll hit the airlock.

I checked, and there's 25m of space between the turret and the bottom, so lowering the Fenris 15-20 blocks is fine by me. Qaz, feel free when you have time.

I think we're all missing the most important question here:
Is the fusion mortar turret functional? The people want to know.

[headdie]

A tnt launcher would be awesome lol

It was not you.  Trust me, he admitted he might have been there "by mistake."  And actually got on the ship.

As for the ladder to the entrance, could you add a column of blocks so you can't accidentally fall off?  Also, I kind of want to explore the top of it, but there isn't an easy way up there.

Yup. Got 2 dispensers that can be loaded up with fire charges.

A proper TNT canon with a reloading cartridge sounds ideal for that area though... I'll look into it.

That ladder column is purely temporary; I'm toying with the idea of making a short-trip minecart rail from the station to the entrance.

Top of what, the entire ship?

[jr2]

You're not gonna build a drydock around it?  xD

[Sandwich]

And block the view? Nope.

[jr2]

Good point. 

[Eishtmo]

Yeah, pretty much.  I want to walk around on top of it.

[Pred the Penguin]

Pillar of dirt...

[Sandwich]

Yeah, pretty much.  I want to walk around on top of it.

There's also no easy way around on top of it once you're up there... I'd just suggest climbing up to the docking arm, building a small pillar to get on top of the arm, and then pillaring up again once you're above the airlock area.

Or just, you know, go to the top level of the Fenris, break a couple of smoothstone blocks in one of the angled corners, and step out (and replace the smoothstone blocks once you're done).

[FireSpawn]

The idea of breaking anything on the fenris both angers and sickens me.

[Scourge of Ages]

Flying is illegal on that server, right? Otherwise, that'd be an excellent way to look around.

[Eishtmo]

Someone has been screwing around with the Fenris.  First they removed a few blocks from the entrance so you fall to your death (someone fixed it) and then someone put a giant Israeli flag on the front of the ship.
