Number of active residents: 3 (Qu1cks1lva, L0rdv0ld, CreeperK1tten)

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings:

Although technically 1 large structure, it is made up of various towers and other buildings e.g. the front bridge, deathwing insignia, carrier deck and main turrets are complete.

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any:

The framework of the ship has been completed and the external structure is well underway, starting from the prow of the ship. The aim is to complete and fully detail the ship externally e.g adding the main bridge, reactor and engines before focusing on detailing the rest of the interior decks

Why should we grant this city protection?

Significant work has gone into the project over the last 2 months and the ship is basically there - the detailed work that really needs protection is now in progress

This is a very different build from my Member World one and hopefully it will provide some inspiration to other players. If the whole area were protected I would leave the ship permanently open and accessible to visitors. At present I have tried to secure and limit access as the size of the project makes it very difficult to use Protection Stones to protect it fully

Warning - the Captain is not responsible for visitors plunging to their doom or setting themselves on fire - starships are hazardous environments so be careful

Supported - good luck

^_^

Thanks for the kind feedback

I have made some good progress building the cathedral and it is pretty much complete

Have a look here and hopefully you can see it

(covering the castle and surrounding grounds inside the low perimeter wall embedded with coal protection stones and topped with jack o' lanterns, as well as the ditch/moat/lake etc inside the protection field around the perimeter wall. This includes an island just off the North East coast surrounded by a cobble wall)

Number of active residents: 3 (Qu1cks1lva, L0rdv0ld, CreeperK1tten)

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings:

Although technically 1 large building it is made up of ~20 towers and other buildings linked by curtain walls

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any:

The perimeter wall has been built and the area inside landscaped and forested to provide a natural setting for the Keep.

The walls, towers and other buildings of the castle are complete externally with basic furnishings in place internally. A circular viewing railway has just been built as well. The whole castle has been built to be part of the landscape with minimal ground leveling/clearance and it is now being detailed

The next steps once the structures have been detailed is to extend the castle complex over the river bend it is on by building a further tower to the West and also a cathedral to the East in the forested hills overlooking the castle

Why should we grant this city protection?

Significant work has gone into the project over the last 2 1/2 months and the keep is now built - it no longer looks like a building site

Castles are a popular build for other players on Opticraft and hopefully it will provide some inspiration to other players. If the whole area were protected I would leave the castle permanently open and accessible to visitors. At present I have tried to secure and limit access as there have been a few instances of griefing and the size of the project makes it very difficult to use Protection Stones to protect it fully.
