Sadly I learned from Mr. Fun that the setdevicespublic Command is bugged & doesn't work, which might be why my Permissions Level was denied access to it.
Today I worked some more on the paint job of a new Carrier SV. Based off of a design in Space Engineers called the Wyvern. right now it can carry 22 passengers. Also, I'd like to issue a challenge to any ship designer out there, Who can make a good looking CV or has made one that can fit this thing in it? let alone repair it too. The paint on the floors are size reference for you guys. (19x8x3 [LxWxH])
admittedly, it can fit them in the main hanger. The best way being to put them against the wall rather than facing it, however the repair bay fails to even fit one. From head to ass its too long for that repair bay where it is now. Heh
Did you find it easier to build this ship in Empyrion? I notice it's easier to recreate a Space Engineer ship in Empyrion minus any animations your ship had in Space Engineers which I hope Empyrion adds one day.
Yeah actually, but mind you the SE ship was designed by someone else, so credit goes to him for the idea.
I'm working on a HV Build for WASD Games Server play while my Arceus Damned Asperger is givin me hell. (Spoiler Alert: IMHO if I Equated this dude to Heroes of the Storm terms, i'd classify this dude as a "Specialist".)
I'm just impressed your SV there manages to make the biggest hanger doors we have (doubled, even) look barely adequate. It's a pretty sweet build though. I'd love to check out the inside.
And that ship has two of those... Kudos to @vicomt and @oojimaflip it's a pretty stunning ship. (And yet manages to be fairly easy to find one's way around inside.) ((As long as you don't go all Gordon Freeman and get lost in the air ducts))
My recent SV, Big Jack, barely fits through the biggest Hangar Doors on his Width Measurement. Edit: Brilliant me, go through all the trouble to come here then forget why I came here... >_< Anyway, got my next Mining HV done: Spoiler: Tyrax Blue Mole! Built for WASD Games Server play. Front View: It really is a shame we were limited to 6 Drills... & only Gatling Guns for Manual Fire HV Weapons. Right Side View: Homers for PvP Defense. (Especially the 2 rear ones for anyone thinking of Assailing my HV's literal Butt while my HV's front is chewing Ore.) Rear View: The aforementioned Butt. Left Side View: & yes, I know it's a tad forward heavy & scoots forward very very slowly. I decided that it wasn't a big enough deal to care about & decided not to bother doing anything about it. Top View: Mad Empyrion Science Experiment to see if this made the Top of the HV not boring to look at without making everyone wonder if I was going Insane. Bottom View: I decided that this HV was heavy enough to go T2 for the Hover Engines. & sorry, no Workshop Link cause this dude's stayin with me & serving me personally. (Plus to keep the Insides Classified.)
I'll tease this really quick, it also carries with it, 2x Homing missile launchers and 2x Gatling guns, 6x default cargo boxes, 2x large cargo boxes, oxygen system in the back, and is armored to give the important components armor while still being light enough to fly. All with a spare cockpit inside too. I'm finishing up the paint job right now and will have it posted to steam workshop before the end of today, with another friend of it.
I have the two ships posted on the workshop: RGC-Wyvern: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=838073000 RGC-Raven: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=838136754 Hope you guys enjoy.
As of writing this today, I have finished up a construction of a faction (An SP faction, one I've based off my own writing stuff I've called the ISA, or "Interspace Alliance") ore refinery on the moon of Akua. It is positioned in the same area as the main ISA lunar base so that it can get it's refined ore off planet easily and quickly. However, part of me would also like to make a fuel production plant and several different factories on the surface of Akua's moon for munitions and vehicles. Problem is that I'd have to ship magnesium from the surface of Akua to the moon to make most munitions, like bullets and missiles, unless I just focus on railgun bullets and laser charges. I could always make a munitions plant in space near the space station I've taken over and added to, but we shall see.
Today I conquered a couple military POIs on Akua in my "nothing but the gun" start. This was supposed to be hard... Oh well. Gotta experience endgame content sooner or later. I have vowed not to reboot my survival game until I actually see every planet this playthrough. So now I finally decided it was time. I built my first mining HV. It's also my first HV since the new hover engines and mechanics overhaul. So, lot of firsts. I have definitely never had anything I've built bounce so much when I place things. Even in symmetry mode, sheesh... Anyway. It worked, more or less. I learned. Next time I'll do better. If there's a next time...It's probable I guess, I just don't enjoy HVs as much as stuff that flies. It worked well enough to mine out a few thousand prometheum ore. Also I discovered lava. . So I quit... not sure if lava hurts but I suspect it does. Just because common sense, but that doesn't always mean much in a game.
Yes, Lava is properly Lethal, even to simply try to drive a HV over if I remember right. (aka it's not bugged or glitched or any such.)
Tricky tricky, putting lava right under my prometheum.... now I know I can't mine out the ceiling in there.
Don't confuse actual lava with the "lava" ground texture. Actual lava will kill you. Ground-texture magma does nothing, in my experience.
Not so much today, but this weekend I built my first CV on Omicron, got off planet and made my way to the custom system on my server. Instead of going for a "just the basics" approach I decided to build one that housed all the stuff. You know, like a mobile base. I have some serious issues with streamlining. LOL. Just can't seem to keep it simple. It's the large planes that always looks too plain. I always want to blend and transition but I always end up making it complicated. Transitioning with multiple different angles is a bitch. Edit: Investing in some graph paper for my next ship. Haha. Oh, her name is Ethel, Hope you all had a good weekend as well.

RIGHT SO! An update... For the time being I stopped planning out facilities on the Akuan moon, and finally took my "fleet" (One Condor 1c with an Eagle 1b in it's hangar) and invaded Omicron. Disabled an alien cargo vessel with the Artillery turret on the nose of the Condor, and then set up an ISA outpost on a more or less deserted area of the planet so I could set it all up, though I was constantly under attack from drones. No biggie though. After having fully set up the outpost, I started to work my way through the alien defenses on the planet, having to unfortunately bombard a few of them from the Condors guns. As of right now a decent chunk of the defenses are down, including their drone base so all that's left is to do a clean up operation of the rest of the planet, and then attack the moon. Which I'll have to clean out as well.
