Lore (Abandoned Program/AU)
The Dominus-Class Battlecruisers were a project started along side the artillery ships mid war. The artillery ships being a weapon to nullify the sole advantage the Lanierian Royal Navy had over the Silver Empire, their armor protection. Built and designed under contract by Capal Crow as an extension to the artillery ship program, these battlecruisers were envisioned to be a tough warship capable of keeping pace and escorting the aircraft carriers while providing long range fire support to engage inbound enemy warships at standoff distance. Their large size and high cost however, went against the mass production philosophy of the Silver Empire. Only one of these warships were ever laid down.
The complex gun for the artillery ship faced significant technical challenges which, as the parent program of the Dominus-Class, delayed its completion greatly.
After the crippling defeat at Sunkschiff destroying not only a large chunk of the Eastern Fleet, but a significant production, supply, and distribution site for the Empire, the Battlecruiser program would ultimately be cancelled in favor of dedicating more resources to developing the artillery ship. The unfinished hull left to rust away in its construction yard waiting for a scrapping contract.
Proposals for the hull to be converted into an aircraft carrier were floated around but would all but shut down due to the predicted costs of such a refit. The topic of these conversations and plans however made it to the ears of Lanier's informants. Through misinterpretation of the intel, the Dominus was thought to be a new Advanced Fleet Carrier design by the Lanerian Admiralty. A destroyer task force was sent in the dead of night on the 19th of Secamon, 759 AED. With much of the Silver Empire's forces deployed elsewhere, the formation of Destroyer Mk3's assault went minimally contested as their ferocious carpet bombing and bombardment befell upon the airworks and the Dominus's unfinished hull.
Much of the documentation of the Silver Empire's Battlecruiser program was lost towards the end of the war. The blasted and overgrown remains of the battlecruiser sitting somewhere forgotten in an abandoned airworks in the mountains around the Ventis Gulf. Many of those who do know and remember the Dominus only recall it to have been a prototype for a new carrier. Rarely ever seen as the battlecruiser it was meant to be. But to the majority of people, the Dominus is nothing but a myth.

Overview
The idea I had for this ship was to have a concept for a battleship if the Silver Empire would ever build one. What I had in mind was to note philosophy in Silver Empire design for their general combatants (non carrier combat ships).
Some things I took to note were that their aircraft were all basically runway based. Airskiffs only being deployed from warships with a runway rather than dropped and recovered via trapeze and under belly hangars like the Royal Navy and South Haven designs. Because of the lack of adequate runway space on this vessel to deploy the Silver Empire's airskiff designs, this ship relies on dedicated carriers to provide air coverage and recon. This is no significant issue as the vessel is intended to work close to and protect the carriers. The lack of onboard aircraft also reflects the designs of the light cruiser and artillery ship who are both general and frontline combat ships that lack aviation facilities unlike the Royal Navy and South Haven counterparts (Tridents and Destroyers).
In terms of protection, the Silver Empire never had any significantly armored warships other than the Artillery Ships with their weaker version of composite armoring on the nose, and the advanced assault crafts with thicker frontal ceramic plates. Keeping this in mind, this ship, despite its size, has even weaker protection than the Shadow of the Deep. The composite armor, while saving weight and adding depth, is significantly inferior to that of the Royal Navy's Gen 2 slab plating and Gen 3 composite slab plates. So I wanted to give this ship the range advantage, mounting similar armament to the Artillery Ship but in double chamber turrets. Faster than the Goliath but slower than the Shadow.
How to Use Weapons
To fire the main gun you use the wooden button on the red wool. You adjust the arc by adding more ticks to the repeater next to it. The more ticks on the repeater the higher the arc of the gun. Levers activate AA guns. The wooden button on the cluster bomb dropper activates the bomb mechanism. Add more propellant in the dispensers on top to increase the spread of the bombs.
Movecraft Compatibility
All weapons on the ship function without the Movecraft plugin as they're Redstone-based. However, if you wish to rotate the turrets and move the ship around, you need the Movecraft plugin.
Specifications:
Plugin Requirements ( None / Optional )
All weapons on the ship function without the Movecraft plugin as they're Redstone-based TNT cannons and firecharge dispensers. However, if you wish to move the ship around, you need the Movecraft plugin. Some servers that run Movecraft are ToTheEnd, Airship Pirates, and Strangelands.

Your version's cool though. I like the bunker bridge and the little decorated space just behind the forward bridge. The "Imperium" on the belly and the war room are also a nice touch. That being said, your characteristic considerable laziness shows once again; what's up with all that hull structure around the aft secondary mount? Ya prolly should've removed it to make the hull smoother.
uhh, maybe I’ll add another bunker bridge or a viewing section for the bunker bridge
