Just another lovely day on Omicron. I hear there are some squatters who have taken up residence at the old factory complex nearby. Gearing up to have a look around there and see if I can roust 'em out tomorrow.
Been quite busy with tweaking and running my server So last night took a break to: 1. Blow some **** up: (me and a buddy tackling a patrol vessel) 2. work more on my first upright CV and as commited here is some updated photos Spoiler: More Photos 3. Work on our base with a view:
Had a boost in inspiration tonight. I started building the main body of a new ship. This will be the basis of a new series of ships. IDK if i will release them, anyway. They will be very Trek -like . I'm not sure if it's going to be too similar. But i'm just not in the mood to avoid Star Trek similarities at any cost. Anyway, each variant will have the same main body but Nacelles and Engineering (or shuttle bay) will be in a different configuration. Hopefully the upcoming copy&paste function will prove useful for that. It's a shame that every ship, no matter how big (and how much power it has at hand), has the same weapon restictions.
@Neal , du haust ja die Teile raus, unglaublich! Nur bei deinem allerersten, wie du sagtest, SV... da tränen mir doch schon etwas die Augen (bewegt sich das Teil denn überhaupt seitwärts?? gut, etwas übertrieben...) Nice Neal, you're a beast in space ship building!
Thanks! Yeah, the SV i slapped together, looks a tiny little bit clunky... Now you know why i don't build them, i just suck at creating SVs, lol.
Nah, das meinte ich gar nicht, die Optik ist gut!! Auch der Innenraum, wie ein Shuttle halt, TOP! Aber die Beweglichkeit.... das ist ein SV! Uaaaa... Schüttelfrost... andererseits wurde bei mir ja schon fortgeschrittene Geschwindigkeitsrauschabhängigkeit festgestellt... ist unheilbar... nimm's locker, das passt schon! @all other_language_speakers.... move on, there's nothing to see here... move on....
I dont know if this is because i have the NPC difficultly level set to hard but Drones are able to dodge my Turrets. I've never seen that before. My turret had to shoot a couple of times before it hit the drone and finally took it down. It was pretty cool.
Haven't teased you guys with anything new lately, but I've been experimenting with SVs and various wing structures. I'm extremely inspired by a design over on DA that I'd love to rebuild, but Empyrion has very little in the way of curves and rounded edges (and what it does have, I don't much like using. At some point, I'd really love to build a proper successor to the Seraphim and I've started to take an interest in 'large-scale' SVs as well (though nothing so grand as the Vasara). My shipyard's getting pretty cluttered with half-finished designs and concepts...
I like the look of those wings.... sooo many possibilities Can't wait to see what you do with 'em Champ! Edit: Vasara was only our first foray into large scale SVs, and as such it's only class 3 I suspect there are a few more in the pipeline though... Dude, the Space Moles' shipyard has looked more like an interplanetary junkyard for bloody weeks now!
Ever built something you thought looked cool and then have no idea what you are going to do with it? I have the core done, now I just have to figure out how to build an interesting ship around it.
That's a compelling design. Maybe a POI? Have an Ultra Rare in the center and make it pure hell to get to it. I'm talking bulletstorm.
That would not work with the current design, there are 6 T1 large generators, 8 RCS2's and the core in the center. I'm wanting to build something around it that shows off the interior structure, while leaving holes for the thrusters to "breathe" through.
