Well I guess that's it, the ship's design is 100% complete, all that's left is to assemble the rest, launch the crew and we're ready to depart for the decades long journey.
"The propulsion section will be entirely manufactured and launched from Russia, unlike the rest of the ship which will be made in Europe, Japan and launched from the United States."

Well the crash part was exaggerated, but the game is now scarily slow. Not completely unplayable if you're very patient.
The ship would be almost a kilometer long. Comparing it against the space ship chart...
It would rival the Warhammer 40K System Ship. Only difference is, this is a research vessel, not a warship.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I'll bet the lag is enormous with a solar sail of that size
Shouldn't be far off the longest useable ship created in SFS. Obviously people have made bigger, but with the intent of them being biggest and not for any kind of actual use in-game
Do like comparison pictures like that. I have one where it features the larger 40k warships like the Glorianna class, which are roughly 3-9km longer than the Executor class.
No one has ever put Phalanx or Furious Abyss class on one though, which is a shame
