I am making a Nuclear Space Cruiser

    Title says it all, I have first started a nuclear reactor that will supply the entire shit with power. I am starting to make rooms and such but I need more ideas and I don't really have a basis off of anything, and I fear I would just make identical rooms all over the place and it not really look like a shit. If any of you have seen starwars I want to make a cruiser like the white ones with the multiple engines:

    maybe something like this:

    Try making a box of diamond with floor filled noble gas inside. It acts as a pressure balance that will keep the ship pressurized if it suddenly breaks open and then is sealed again.

    I don't want to use Diamond, because I want it to be destructible.

    Using destructible elements and making a giant nuclear powered ship. Sounds like a good challenge.

    Just use breakable metal then. It works the same way.

    The idea is to contain the noble gas so it doesn't escape, doesn't matter if it's diamond.


    ...But if you spark the metal it'll ignite the gas. xD
