PMC's Sci-fi Contest!

When I first saw this, I actually felt excitement! It's amazing: Planet Minecraft's latest building competition is a sci-fi theme, set in space!
I'm thinking that with the skill we have on this forum, we could win this if we work together (well, we could probably all make the finals list, some more than others...)
And what a better way to win than through the I.C.E.S.S.! It'd be very difficult for me to complete it on my own in time, but if you all help me, then we will be able to not only win, but to redefine the meaning of Minecraft.
Here's the link to the contest: [url]http://www.planetminecraft.com/contests/to-the-stars-project-contest/[/url]
Here's the link to my entry (I'm currently using Icarus, but with the hope of posting I.C.E.S.S. later): [url]http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/icarus-amp-project-icess/[/url]
If any of you can help, please tell me!

So who's gonna run the server ? It's important for me to know because I have bad relations with servers with loads of lags and rage

, I'm laggy on most games but in acceptable proportions (around 80 ping) but Minecraft took the prize ...

Right, stick a few Vivisectors, a few extinctiors, a few bruisers, and maybe the Tormentor.
Looks like I'm going back to shipbuilding, if I can I'll give you a hand.
EDIT: how about a space battle? maybe Mack's I.C.C.whatever + BIllys dread + Instincts capital ship VS my dread as the aliens (because aliens are known for being a bit bland and more focused on functionality) , perhaps the variation in style could look good, if need be I'll put up some schematics for my ships.
EDIT 2: crap no schemaics... dang, but they won't notice, but I might have to disable my construction thread
EDIT 3: Mack, how are you going to fit a 2.6 km ship into the asteroid belt of the map?

Yeah, so I just posted my Vivisectors carrier in, and it takes up most of the map, I might just submit that then help on the big one.

Unfortunately, there will be A LOT of empty space.
I was hoping that we could put this on Avenger's server, but he doesn't seem to be around much....
Does anyone else have the ability to upload schematics onto the server?

Well, if Avenger doesn't show up, I'll assign various parts of the I.C.E.S.S. to the various people who want to help.

I Have A one Km long super carrier that has a mostly done exterior and a not so done interior. I would post it but Eihort hasn't updated.
Edit: Prototype, exactly how big is the Vivisector.

Vivisector is about 400 m long, and it takes up quite a bit of the map, you will struggle to get a 1km ship in there

Right, I've put in my entry:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/rsf-midas/
Nobody point out that it is just the Vivisector I have already made, it is based on it, but it is not, this one is slightly different.
