A fully functional submersible air warship that fights and flies using the Movecraft plugin. Everything works. The weapons work even without the plugin (except the torpedoes). Including the main cannon, which is fun to blow stuff up with :)
Background
Sometimes called "mini Shadows", the Trident class of warships was designed to fill the gaps in the pirate Robert Bellamy's growing fleet. They were designed primarily to serve an AA role, to combat the growing threat of fighter attack. As such they carry more AA fire guns than most designs, as well as 3 fighters of their own. In addition, a turret was mounted with the same scatter shot heavy cannons used in the Shadow of the Deep.
Armament
Main Cannon - Turret mounted, can turn to face any direction except aft. Fires 7 TNT projectiles in a scattershot pattern. Medium-long range. Effective at penetrating enemy warship armor to expose the flammable lifting cells.
Foreward Fire Guns - For shooting down enemy aircraft, or for setting fire to enemy warships once their armor has been pierced.
Broadside AA banks - 13 fire guns on each side, arranged in a dense pattern for maximum fire coverage. Effective at shooting down fighters, or incoming torpedoes.
Fighter Armament - (Tridents carry 3 fighters)
2 x Firegall Guns - For shooting down other fighters, or setting enemy warships alight once their armor has been pierced.
2 x Torpedos (3 meter) - For piercing enemy warship armor
Notes:
Get Movecraft here:

Use these craft files for Movecraft, put them in the pluginsmovecrafttypes directory:

Being on Movecraft-8.0.0-a.7 I did not manage to get this one to work... yet... being quite lazy comparing it against the type files. (it seems to contain some blocks, that are not compatible with the default type files of "my" Version of movecraft) But it looks awesome!!!! |

| I would love to find out what mods make this functional or what server i could play on to use one. |

Hello! The plugin that makes it work is Movecraft, found here: www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/ Of course, the guns work even without any mods or plugins, since they are just redstone devices. Also, if you are interested in getting this sort of thing in single player or a vanilla (unmodified) server, you may be interested in this: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/working-full-featured-airship-in-minecraft-18---no-mods-or-plugins---a-movecraft-style-airship/ That airship works with no plugins or mods, however it is not as complex. |

The main gun shouldn't explode unless you fire it while the airship is moving, or if you fire it too fast. Several people have told me about problems operating the TNT cannons on the ship that ended up being due to a bad release of the bukkit server. It turned out they released a version where TNT was all screwed up. I wonder if that happened to you? |

Oh, or it could have been the pasting error. If you paste it, and you hear explosions, simply paste it again. Sometimes WorldEdit pastes a redstone torch off when it should be on or vice versa, and it can cause problems. Pasting again usually fixes it. |

I'll tell you what the problem is: It's the way TNT (as entities) works now. In all previous versions and updates of the game, primed TNT always remains stationary no matter where it is. But in 1.8, primed TNT now moves in flowing water. This is an old feature that was removed sometime after Beta 1.7 or so. Your ship's main cannon incorporates water in its design, and the water flows forward when the cannon is in its firing stage. As a result, the projectiles (all 7 of them) move too far forward for the propellant to properly push them, hence they fall onto the ship's frontside and destroy the whole thing. |

Ah, I see. Well, as Movecraft is not available for 1.8, and with the current legal sillyness that seems unlikely to change anytime soon, I don't think I'll worry about it just yet. Just curious: how did you paste in the schematic in 1.8? I didn't think any schematic handling plugins worked in 1.8 yet. |

I don't recall having trouble importing schematics in MCEdit as of version 1.8. I did however, get the latest developmental build of MCEdit. It's a little unstable with certain functions like the Mirror function, and certain blocks in 1.8 still remain unidentified, but opening schematics from the schematics folder aren't a problem here. |
