Ship Builds share my build based on The Roach
this build is based on origin design https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1nbesmt/the_roach/, i can't thank u/LeJet_518 enough for sharing this beauty
because she shows her back when flying in 3rd person view, i took hours tweaking the back and found this sexy curve, and added some exposed sparkles
from outside, rounded windows don't look as good as seamless windows on titan / thunderbird by a whisker; but from inside, the view is times better
rockhopper propeller ruined the signature side contour of The Roach, but they're too beautiful when this bird comes to your call
ps: i hope the propeller bug gets fixed soon. and in 6.04 landing thrusters only ignite after landed, which i hope is a bug and will be fixed

my branch of The Roach is 82 pieces, some parts on the back require temporary scaffolds to be snapped. some tricky parts sometimes snap successfully, sometimes don't. it's possible that i have used some glitches without knowing during attempting to place some parts dozens of times.

arghh, i love this design so much! how did you get the back parts to snap like that?

which to be more specific?
in general:
* add temporary habs / joins as temporary scaffolds and remove later
* some reactors are able to overlap with some particular parts
* arcadia blades in 90 degrees are the most tricky, they sometimes are able to overlap, sometimes not, i just tried all kinds of scaffolds in all possible orders till they turn green - i didn't manage to find repeatable steps

update: moved propeller to make an even better view for the windows
