Nicely done! Many others have posted their ship on our Discord server:

It's totally fine to post here too, but if you find yourself wanting to see some more of what others have been creating then the Discord server has a lot of them already.

Here is my new ships from Scenario 1.

Here's mine!  Not quite done, but when are they ever?

Great ships! How much water do you go through with all those gardens? I have a hard enough time keeping up with just three large beds, even with heavy trading. I like your design Atmus with the side pods and multiple engines and power plants.

I go through it pretty quick. I always buy up all the water that the traders sell, and I manage to keep about 100 water stockpiled. I think that having a bunch of extra bathrooms helps, and I have the gardens set to only plant if there are fewer than 20 items stockpiled. Everyone stays fed, and I have plenty of meat to trade at a high profit.

And thanks! I try to make the ship 'realistic' and I pretend like the engine/mass limit matters. The ship can't actually run with only one power plant any more, unless I turn off the scrappers and such. I finally have enough materials on this run through to build a second large ship, so I might play around with specializing them.

I once bought all the water from one merchant and then later found him dead due to lack of oxygen. His ship was then a derelict and I was able to  salvage his ship. Live and let die, I suppose.    I try  to leave them at least 5 water now, so I don't feel bad. I will eventually build an agro-ship and a refining ship but coordinating food between ships is a bit tricky. I have had to restart from a saved game after I figured how the automation wants to work.

Yeah, I ran into that while building a second ship. Well, actually I kind of fell asleep while waiting for the construction to finish, haha. Woke up to 10 water left, and the second ship wasn't ready for hyperjump. I guess the time wasn't exactly wasted, since I slept through it... I just hope I remember how I was building that ship when I do it over again.

Awesome ship!  I just backed this game with alpha access.  I'll post my first ship soon!  Is there an easy way to take a screenshot?

Here is my very first ship!  I don't think I'm understanding power system mechanics.  Can someone give me some pointers?  Thanks!
