    Every ship has a superstructure... But how exactly to You make them? Or are there stores to buy them at?

    here is a gallery that shows one method of wooden ship construction. The second page shows superstructure being built.

    Almost every ship's superstructure must be built by the skipper, and only a few can be bought pre-built. That's why superstructure complexity plays a factor in rookie ship recommendations. The simpler the superstructure, the sooner you'll be able to fight.

    Battler's Connection has some superstructure parts for some of their ships. Barnstormer Boats has superstructure for the boats that they have, but it's spendy. You are sooner or later going to have to build something yourself :)

    That depends on what boat you are going to build.

    Well, the best way to go about it (if your local club will let you) is to get everything else working... that way at the very least you can fight w/o a superstructure as you work on it. Many of the more difficult parts can be found but the bases you will need to do at this time.

    In Region 3 MWCI if it runs, it can get on the water. You might hear some ribbing about the "aircraft carrier", but you can go out and battle with it, if you get up for an Orlando or Cocoa Beach battle.

    I've seen some pretty strange superstructers... One of which was a Wood block mounted to the ship

    Dude, I wouldn't go off on anyone's embarassing anything until I had a ship in the water. It takes a lot more hard work than you think it does.

    I've fought my ship without superstructure before. It's better to have a floating skateboard with guns than an unarmed museum decoration. I've never quite figured out why so many people build the superstructure first, when it's the insides that have to work.

    Kotori, I see your point... I think it might be that people Like having a Realistic fighting ship, instead of an armed skate board, but Different people build different Ships in different ways... Like i heard before, Build a Ship Your Way... As long as It Doesent break any of your club's Rules :p
