Before u build anything, plan how big u want it to be and be aware of ur percentage

This building technique is from ShinWei Chiou

Step one: build one of these



Although this step is not required, it makes building the deck easier as I'm going to start with the deck

Step 2: build the deck



Try to use larger building blocks as my carrier in the end was at 91% Also I do have ramps as I'm going to make a hanger (just a hollow space in the hull) this step may take a while


 * NOTE you do not need aircraft carrier deck/runways to put the plane on top as they're basically decorations.

Step 3: remove building deck and add the bridge



Although I've seen some carriers without bridges, they are a nice thing to have on a carrier

Step 4: build and test the hull




 * NOTE build the hull hollow so u can have a larger ship

Also have some boilers inside the ship as they're this ships power source (I have very little amount of hull(hull also generates horsepower)) and having it inside can protect the engines so u can escape a sticky situation

When ur done building the hull. Balance the ship by putting ballast tanks on the opposite side of the hull from the bridge. Test it by going into test run and do not move. When u balance the ship, test it again while moving.

Step 5: add finishing touches (planes and weapons)



I have very little weapons as I'm tying to build realistically. Now u can just spam ur planes until it reaches max limit

Have fun

I am going to make a video on it soon with more detail
