The silverwings ship I had to abandon. I just couldn't get a very wingy shape out of blocks.
I ended up with a goofy sort of destroyer meets fishing boat kind of thing.
It still needs a ton of work, I spent several very long days on the inside, but I made a dumb mistake with the engines. The really huge ones look awesome and I sort of built around them on the inside, but the heat can't be walled off. It has to sort of be a wall + 1, so all the innards kept getting scrapped and redone.
I've kept it mostly open inside so you can see into everything. I want to do quarters and medical stuff in the wings but I haven't got to it yet.
Other than building, I had some crazy adventures doing a sort of self imposed ironman mode. We have this bot installed that can do some admin commands that help with stuff like disconnects. Sometimes you'll log back in and your ship has flown on without you etc, anyway it has a full reset that starts you over.
I was out checking a mine at night in heavy rain and just couldn't see a pack of rocket launcher aliens, so after that I restarted on an airless world. Just getting enough air to breathe was a struggle, and it got crazy hot during the day. I managed to get the stuff for a simple ship, flew up to the moon and picked up pentax and cobalt, then made a warp capable ship and hopped over a world to get sathium / neo.
I landed at a trader woohoo shopping! And while I was shopping a pack of plasma drones reduced my ship on the landing pad outside to rubble haha. So I was stranded. All the deposits were guarded so I had to dig these crazy long tunnels to get to the ore. It was an adventure.
I eventually made it out on a crappy cv I named the struggle bus. Basically a warp drive strapped to a chair.
One crazy thing that happened during all that: I was cruising along on a bike and landed in a pond over a blind crest and it threw me off the bike. That happens alot and there's usually no dramas. However the game has the old uncapped delta time problem where they do discreet frametime driven physics and movement and even the mouse turning. So if you get a long frame it will spin you like old everquest.
I think I spiked when I got off the bike so the impulse I received threw me into orbit.
Luckily I landed in that pond but the cold nearly got me.
