Any ideas? We know that Deimos class corvette uses collapsed core molybdenum (if that even exists) sheathing for extra protection, but what about everything else?
Ship frames? Armour on other ships? Give me your thoughts.

The crystals in a tungsten-titanium matrix combined at super cool temperatures, which has a name that is 37 syllables long.
BP takes an interesting and more realistic approach, with active/ablative armor, foam, and other less ridiculous handwaving.

Kittens don't have souls :p
The GTA uses awesome.
The PVA Remnant uses fish paste.

You are a traitor and a part of the Rebel Alliance. TAKE HIM AWAY.

wow... :eek2:

Canis Major?
Big Dawg, even the Galaxy acknowledges dogs be best.
On that note, Allied ships flak guns use repurposed canine teeth as Flechette ammo.

They use aluminum on their ships and have specialized wizards reinforce the atomic structure and density of the element and make them significantly boost their melting points, enabling them to withstand multiple Gigaton-range impacts from bombs that are capable of exploding in a vacuum, as well as being able to withstand a supernova's blast wave without cracking up.

Nice name. :P

I don't know what they are made of, but they are surely filled with Bosch beer.

No, they use magical girls to do that.

OK then, maybe this was a stupid question to ask, oh well, lesson learned. :banghead:

polygons ?

Also, the hulls are digitally built by god-like entities that live in a higher plane of existence . They call this "mapping".
-
The ships are equipped with engines powered by powerful boiler. The hull is made out of high quality oak wood and the interior is made of nice plastic. Their speed approaches that of light, if loaded with high quality coal it is even capable of FTL. The ships are of course equipped with modern weapons, such as fatman and little boy torpedos. The marines are equipped with state of the art AK-47 guns. The ships have no escape pods, as they cannot be sunk.
CREW:
Cappy: Most important person on the ship, who takes the burden of command and distributes it on the backs of others.
helm: Also very important person, flies the ship. duh.
boiler operator: adds coal to the furnace.
Boiler operator's assistant: brings beer and moonshine to the BO, substitutes him if the BO is indisposed.
Flight attendants: carry food, drinks and ammunition around the ship.
Chef: Heats up the canned food on gas stove in the front of the ship.
Joiner: Repairs the hull. always has a spare coffin in storage.

That's life boats, not escape pods :-P
The GTVA uses some metals probably, the scaly Vasudan ships look like they're armored with ceramic plates.
The Shivans use black ink soaked cardboard for the armor of their fighters, which is why their hulls suck.
Shivan capital ships are a mystery right now, but they may be made of some awesome space kevlar.

D CUPS full of JUSTICE!

My hypothesis is that they are spacefaring zeppelins covered with collapsed-core molybdenum skin, and filled with a mixture of propane and oxygen.
-
They are made of Sugar, Spice, and Everything nice.
Those ingredients are apparently capable of withstanding multi-kiloton explosions.

has :v-old: ever said anything about this?

Rubik's Cubes!

Dozens of 'em!

Pixels!

Cruisers are made out of cardboard, corvettes are made out of duct tape, destroyers are made out of scrap metal, and the Colossus is made out of all of the previously listed items.

And Freighters are made of paper.
