I volunteer as ship security chief. Can I has private cabin plz?

 I also have a idea for a lava based cell design that leaves it impossible (in theory, still have to try it out in practice) for people to escape without warping.

floating block 1 block above head level with lava on top of it and a piston to control one side for a door.  the prisoner then stands on a floating floor below which is the reservoir for the falling lava and kills the prisoner if they try to escape down. and walls of lava are obviously fatal to walk through.

the issue would be a bucket of water but i am sure with good cell spacing and a second lava fall  made to fall slightly wider would help remedy that.

Lava physics can really **** things up when it spreads more than 2 blocks. Best to use just 1 stream on each side or space them out if you want more.

Lava in a ship full of wool probably isn't the best idea even before factoring in the griefer risk. Besides, with bedrock and soulsand you can make an inescapable prison without walls of any kind, but what good is that? It'll probably just end up being the traditional iron bars with a one way iron door. Or perhaps each iron door tied to a redstone switch in the security office... hmm...

Got a brig up and running:

#1: The entrance, just off the dropshaft/ladderway on Deck 7:


#2: Just inside the entrance, we have a weapons & explosives scanning room, with an observation window on the right. I could wire the doors up so that an external switch would be required to open them, but I don't want anybody trapped inside, so for now, pressure plates are conveniently located on the floor near each doorway:


#3: Once through the scanning room, visitors must leave all metal items in the provided chest (at right) before proceeding through the metal detectors (at left). Glimpsed through the glass on the right is the reception desk area, and on the far right, 2 switches, green and red. More about them below:


#4: Situated on the opposite side of the scanning room's observation window, this station has access to 2 switches. These switches govern the behavior of the scanning room's inner door (seen in picture #2). When inactive, the switches allow normal, pressure plate-based door operation. When the green switch is active, the inner doors remain open. When the red switch is active, the inner doors are forced closed. The red switch overrides all other signals, whether they be from the pressure plates or the green switch. In the distance at right, the doors to the maximum security cells can be seen.


#5: Minimum-security detention cells:


#6: Inside the maximum security cellblock, looking towards the entrance doors (seen in picture #4). On either side of the door, two buttons must be pressed simultaneously* by two people to open the doors.


All cells are equipped with a sleeping cot and a toilet.

* For sanity's sake, the buttons are labeled "1" and "2". Button #1 has a slight delay on it, so if you're quick enough, you can actually press button 1 and then quickly press button 2, and the doors will open. This, however, is greatly complicated by lag - visitor be warned!

I have moved the GTC Fenris up serveral blocks in order to fit the missile launcher on underneath, once the fenris has been built, would anyone object to getting on mumble at some point and recoding a guided tour to post on youtube?

Not at all... I've been planning on doing a YT video once it's done, submitting it to The Shaft, Minecraft Mondays, etc... I think perhaps we should have (at least) two videos... one shorter one basically as a teaser, with quick glimpses of the outside and main internal rooms, and another longer one (which people would be willing to sit through once the shorter one whets their appetite) which could be a guided tour... perhaps Kyad and myself giving you a tour, with all of us recording footage, and then splicing it together afterwards where needed?

[Rodo]

cool stuff guys

Awesome!

We should have a You Tube Walktrough of the whole damn sever! There's so much interesting stuff on it.

Sounds good, I can export the finished fenris into minecraft and get some cross-sections of it to put in the video as well.

Oh, I've also set up an SVN server, currently it's anonymous checkout and there's write access accounts for me, Sandwich and Kyad, there's nothing on there of note at the moment, but if in the future we need it for video editing or sharing stuff, it'll be there.

Qaz, you urgently need to reposition the mob spawning restriction you had for Fenris.... mobs are spawning everywhere. Soon as I noticed I logged back out, so hopefully Endermen haven't dismantled much, but still...

Sooo.....

 

[Mongoose]

yeeeees

Edit: Okay the turret looks awesome, but at the risk of being that guy, did the whole ship need to be moved up quite so far?  It's really really high above the surrounding terrain now, to the point where the clouds are intersecting the main level.  I don't know how much vertical clearance you guys want/need on the bottom, but if there was any way to bump it down a bit, it might work out better.

[Sandwich]

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.
