    It took a week to get through and I thought I was more or less done with her. The SV Valravn AC477 was definitely a trudge to build in survival.
    The maiden flight was weird though. 48 RCS and still turned like a hippo in mollasses. Added 30 more and barely any improvement. I mean, she's pretty big, but it seems pretty excessive to need 80 to be able turn.
    But, here she is with the Argentspire looming...

    The arms make it look alot like a beetle for now. 6 different ways all looked like bugs.

    But really, what's up with the RCS being so useless?

    80... HAH!
    I have 102 fitted in some still-class-1-sv... :p
    Nah seriously, the problem is, SVs still only got only the first version (RCS) not the upgraded one (RCS2) like the CVs did...
    I'm all for new RCSs for SV!

    (btw. You did fly with DroneHunters as I recall... perhaps you got speed-addicted already, these fighters do have this downside, I'm afraid... :D:p)

    Oh I've totally been flying the DH5 but on this planet I left all but my pod in space trying to tease out some more playability and force myself to "start from scratch". And I liked the ship I was using (that I totally botched) as a guide. And going in I knew it would be pretty big, but totally didn't expect that the RCS would take up more room than the thrusters!

    Impressive. The way you use the same design language on the ship and the structure makes them look like they come from an advanced culture.

    I haven't actually done much the past couple days. I did get the crew quarters laid out and decorated but stopped short of texturing/painting them after seeing we're getting new textures with the next update. Instead I've been puttering around in the luxury suites trying to flesh those out some more while I try to come up with some ideas on what to do with the last few sections of the station.

    Well, the base belongs to @Kieve and at one point the nacelles directly matched the spiers. But they were waaaaay too tall. But the feels are still there so glad you saw that.

    When we get copy and paste, i'm gonna scavenge a few rooms from my other ships and buildings to fill up my monster CV.

    I can't wait till 7.0 comes out! It's going to be better than 6.0.

    I kind of want to get this done because there's no telling how long until 7.0 is released but on the other hand a couple of the new textures are exactly what I'm looking for.

    You can always build a bigger Space Station when 7.0 rolls around.:D

    How many voxels do you have before you hit the max size?

    What I have done today......
    I have finally finished hooking up all lights and devices to sensors/levers and gates.
    695 lights/flares, 262 RCS units (two groups), and 298 other devices are controlled by 126 sensors/levers and 38 logic gates.

    Now its time to make some screenshots and a description and publish it :)

    Ok I had no idea you could use the Chainsaw as a weapon in this game. LOL I ran out of bullets and pulled out the chainsaw just to be funny and it worked. Why do I have the urge to raid a POI armed with a chainsaw?

    In regards to the idea, sounds good. If ya were curious about me, sadly my RL is far too busy nowadays. I haven't been able to help with Admining on my current native MP Server of WASD Games for ages... I can only wonder how pissed at me Boss Funinator might be... :(
