Space Engineers Tutorial - How To Build a Battleship #1 - Large Ship Design

Part 1 of 4 - Main Engineering Layout. How to plan your interior with function and repair in mind.

Starting to build a large grid ship in Space Engineers requires planning and a unified approach to design and functionality. To avoid building generic bricks this approach to design starts from core function and then builds out for a more organic and function-led large ship design.

In Part 1 we use creative mode to build the main engineering section of a brand new large grid battleship for our Survival series "2 Idiots on a Mission".

All blocks in this build will be vanilla (Most Wanted DLC) with the exception of the following mods: Deuterium Fusion Reactors, Weaponcore and Defense Shields. The method I use in this tutorial is suitable for completely vanilla builds and we encourage you to innovate and use this as a guide to approaching your design, not as a follow along (although you can if you want to).
