It's all we could attribute it to - we didn't have a running nuke genny at the time and nothing else near the epicentre could have produced a boom that big. Think we overloaded it high voltage.
EDIT:
Meanwhile in the secret underground Colony Ships construction facility...
I solved the issue with the conflicting IDs,but when I loaded the world I saw this:
Several chunks are "missing",the ground under the ships is stone but in these chunks it's grass,and whole ship parts have been cut off:
Do you think this has something to do with autoAssign being on in the RP2 config?
Because that's how I solved the ID issue,turning it on.
So, assuming Alblaka's latest blog comment isn't some kind of inception style joke within a joke for April Fool's Day, I guess the secret project leaves our Colony Ships in either an awesome pioneering position or at the very least a collection of interesting static objects for space dimension maps...
PS - please welcome the SS Boxer to the fleet. The boxer heavy lifter has been added to ships.zip and Blueprints.zip
Features:
- Made entirely from vanilla and IC2 blocks only
- Both blueprint and schematic will behave properly if rotated
The Boxer is essentially an empty hull at this point, it's down to you guys to add the after market wiring and functionality. She's not as pretty as some of our previous work, but hey she's still got it where it counts! Next project likely to be that oil tanker I mentioned a while back...
Enjoy!
I tried to import the schematics using world edit and got an error that said too many conflicts. what dose that mean and how do i fix it? 
Edit- nver mind i figured out that it was the spaces in the name, but all the red power and mod items are missing...
i am not using would edit i have had very bad "misshaps" with it so i use the world edit CI, but they use the same file type with scematics, but thank you for trying to help me :D.
Display More3 things to check:
1. Are you using the last version of MCEdit (the one that supports ANVIL world format)
2. Do you have RP2 installed
3. Have you checked your block IDs against the ones posted in the OP
That should fix most issues, but be aware that the older ships are causing issues since MC v1.23+
It's difficult keeping up with all the patches as changes to important bloc IDs breaks our ships =[
Be prepared to have to do a little editing and re-schematic making in order to get it working as you want.
Hey Turok. My name is Captainscar and I was planning on using your DropShips for a Minecraft Let's Play?
I'll link the forum topic to the video so you can get more visitors to your topic/get more downloads.
I was planning on using BC, IC2, EE, RailCraft and RP2.
If I could have your permission to use your DropShips. That would be great! 
If i might be so kind, Can i suggest walkways between colony modules? dead end, two way, corner, t section, and a 4 way?
On top of that I know a game that uses colony modules similar to your build. Look up 'Outpost 2 forum'. The predecessor to it had a few things that might inspire you 
I got SDK's gun mod in. I'll import these, NEI some rocket launchers, and boom boom.
This work for 1.95?
Display MoreYes it will - just double check block IDs before tyring to use any chematics or blueprint and you should be ok.
On a related note...
***** SPACE STATION MODULES COMING SOON *****
I'M IN SPACCEE!!!!! Rocket science is planning to add a moon, so I could have a lunar orbit space station! 
This work for 1.95?
Apart from the MFFS blocks disappearing from the map for good when it's loaded in MC, I've encountered no problems. Well, one...
There's a slight Toggle Latch rotation problem with some of the doors (every door facing a certain way) which completely disables the door and forces it open. Thankfully, all that needs done to fix this is bashing open the door mechanisms and re-rotating the latches just once, so that it realigns with the rest of the circuit, followed by a quick patch-up to the walls so that it doesn't look like you've done anything. Apart from these two issues, the ships have worked perfectly so far! I look forward to more soon.
ive been having a lot of trouble with this can you make a file that has all the mods, instructions for the mods and all the maps to help because everytime i try to use mods i fail and have to install minecraft again and also because i cant find a lot of the stuff
Display MoreI built my own miner ship using earned resources. Granted mine is build out of construction foam. I use zeppelin mod to move it around but since I got cables inside the foam blocks it behaves kinda iffy and occasionally crashes and disappears. Also, rotating it makes the transformers look like they're not aligned but they are. My solar array uses a solid grid of cables which is bad for CPUs although I don't have any problems if it was used in MP it might be problematic.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1dc5tk1gzg89v45 <-- MCedit schematic feel free to do whatever you want with it.
Red blocks have cables inside them.
The ceiling ones are the solar array.
The ones on the outer walls are HV.
The ones on the floor are MV.
The ones on the inner wall are LV.
The ones in the floor by the miners power the miners (LV).

Please tell me someone still has this ship/schematic
This is soooo COOL! I am working on a bit of a project in a world of mine, and I am going to "use" this idea in it... I wont probably use the exact designs but I will make a "space station" for my central command post as well as my house. D:
