The legend tells of a great battle of thousands of ships VS the darkstar fleet. They stopped the fleet, but only by ramming or otherwise crashing into them. So in one way it was a victory, as the homeworld still exists, but in another, a failure, as nobody really survived who participated in the battle.
The remains of this battle are in the remains of planet Alpha (the asteroids region). However other than some random floating villages that spawned all freaky, and a sideways stargate and ln735's research ship from the other movie.. we don't actually have a space ship grave yard yet. There are the derelicts of the End Space Space stations, but they probably (mostly) still work - so they dont count.
What is needed:
Most importantly of all - have fun with this!
Epic space ships... but clearly in no condition to be used by anyone.
Type of damage: Energy weapons, projectiles, explosions etc, and most importantly - they should look like they crashed into something which would be what finished them off. You could make them look like they spun off and hit an asteroid, or mushroomed into the side of another wreck.
The something doesn't need to be there.. tho a few random alien ship looking bits of debris nearby or embedded in the hulks cant hurt.
Suggestions how to do it.
Either on the projects world or main world, build your awesome ship (doesnt have to be toast yet, but you can also just build it destroyed looking) when it is done, we will save it out as a schematic file and move it to the asteroids region - where you can choose a spot, and then set about giving it that destroyed look. These were fleets too, so we can potientially copy in a bunch of them and you can give them all unique touches.
Main reason to schematic them is so you can have an intact version to showcase as well if you like.
For an idea of destroyed - think -
Great holes, (with turned up edges) melted down reactors, venting gas or coolant (spider web and string can be used effectively here)
Flames shouldn't be necessary, as the battle according to legend happened over 10000 years ago - so you would think they would have gone out by now.. tho in the case of reactors, these could still be burning as they would half a halflife of hundreds of thousands of years.
For some inspiration check out the crashed space hulk on planet Brotherhood, or the space hulk on P2X (lava planet), or go swim under the water near the old darkstar battle (just outside of brotherhood kingdom) where there is another crashed ship.
