I updated one of my older designs today. Gave it lights, proper doors, and completely redid the interior. I think it turned out pretty good. Definitely an improvement over the previous interior. Spoiler Also I have this HV I'm working on. It didn't work out as a drilling machine but I kind of liked the look. Not sure what to do with the front though. It looks like a giant mouth with rows of teeth. I stuck a bunch of weapons in there and threw in some harvesters for good measure. It's kind of ridiculous. I was thinking I might do something a little more conventional with the front but I don't know. Spoiler
Now on Masperon, I am slogging my way through a large Xenu fortress. I undermined it, now I'm shooting and hiding, hiding and shooting.
Hello i am new on this Forum and love this Game (405 h and still on Akua) Sorry for my english i am from Germany and School is long time ago. What i want do today is build my first CV to get my mininghover to the Moon. I read a lot about small usefull SV docked on CV for storage or O2 Stations. I also read a lot about pvp and the need of much armor, like 10+ Blocks of combatsteel and the damage of rockets on something like3 Blocks in a square and that it is the same damage on cv and the much smaller SV blocks. I want to build a small but well armored CV. Now i get the idea to build a HV on the CV as a wall of mayby 10 layers of hardend Steel. The hv is docked, i remove the hoover and trusters, so it should stay if powered. (for me it´s difficult to explain, please look at the picture) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849237244 I will use a HV and no SV because if you want you can put a turret (Artillery, Mining...) on it that should work on a Planet (if manned)...more planetside firepower for Teamplayer. What you guys think about this idea? Thanks Marbod Edit: 1 more idea, build this HV on a repairblock (should be like a shield that use fuelpacks to regenerate)
You are building CV which has HV built around it as armour and as a turret platform? If I understood correctly? I love your creative approach, have no idea how practical it is or how it works otherwise but sure test it out and tell us how it went Only thing Im wondering is that how durable HV Hardened Steel is combared to CV Combat Steel, it can have more layers in the same space but otherwise? Using repairblock on CV to repair the HV armour sounds aweseome too! I think the HV needs to be turned OFF for it to function, though?
Tonight, I will start my endeavor to chainsaw an armored golem. I've made myself a cheapish CV to get me there, and will be doing things from scratch in a new game to give me a challenge. I'll record and upload my progress to the Youtubes so that everyone can laugh at the inevitable, and foolish death that I am setting myself up for. I'm happy. This has given me a good reason to start a new game again.
I test a little bit more you can remove the "arm" that go to the wall and build a big cv blocks in this Position. You can also powered both the CV and the HV...and you can use the turret on the HV. But i dont know if somebody can use the HV turret when CV is moving...I´am a Soloplayer and can´t test this. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849262040 one big CV block have 2000 hp in the same space you can put 64 small blocks 64 x 200 (hp hardend steel) = 12800 hp!
In 5.1 start of Ningues Game, I had trip to Aitis for first time. I raid to Drone Base at as usual, set autominer to Promethium, Sathium and Erestrum. In ore wait time, I made build Home Base there. It is funny time. I always make toilet, shower besides bed. Dont troubled in emergency.
Today I made myself a mining hover, for winter starting planet. HV under construction: final product without mining equipment: and with mining equipment: What I like about it, is how it looks, what I don't like is how it work. Mining in Empyrion is a painful experience after super smooth SE...
Thats great Im sure HV turrets can be used by other players, even while the CV is moving, I can see why not. But you do know that CV turrets can be used by other players too if you add seats (just checking)? I mean HV turrets do less damage than CV turrets, am I right ?
Haha I have yet to face a golem so I will be interested to see if a chainsaw will be a viable option on the day I shall meet one I kinda have an idea how this goes but I will be looking forwards the videos!
Go foraging for food and mining for Cobalt they said, IT WILL BE FINE THEY SAID. If my mic was on it would have made a sailor blush!
I've Chainsawed down Desert Golems before, never yet tried Armored Golems. (Wanted to, but I keep finding it too damn fun to Minigun Bullet Drill their Heads instead & can't resist this temptation long enough to try it.)
Still goofing around with 1x CV/BA size builds. This time a HV. Kinda funny they both turned out to be the same height. The HV was annoying because I wanted to make sure you could mount a turret on it.
Looks real good. I like the effort you have put in it to look like a real thing, including the insides. Is this in Steam Workshop, I would like to download. I like this a lot too, has a real life took to it. Relatively simple, but effective looking.
Well I'vee been up to quite a lot - and then again not much. Been mostly building. Still in Oscutune. I did this: "Thunderbolt" bomber to tackle some of the hostile POI's in Oscutune. Is pretty powerful with four homing missile launchers. (Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849752523) At a Drone POI after clearing it out. I also went after some Freighters. I got one disabled but it was getting harder after that. Perfect reason to gather more resources and build a destroyer to take on those freighters! I also learned that open cockpit is not really open. Here's me, mining in Oscutune (with breathable atmosphere), no helmet on, in an "open" cockpit - and suffocating! Last but not least, I started a construction yard in Oscutune Orbit - this is the first product to come out of it. Polaris Space Industries SXV for all your spacefaring needs! (Steam Workshop, Basic version with only some essentials: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849752368 and fully kitted out Deluxe version http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849752457)
Well i got my little SV running again after some drone drones and a nearby base used it for target practice. lol trying to decide do I rebuild the sv or keep building my capital ship. It may not look like it but it can fly and shoot stuff. lol .
