    Now you need to hire Sean Connery in a red diaper. :D

    Seriously, that's an outstanding build!

    Thank you. I just build what I hope to find in a universe. Long time ago I played a DOS game and enjoyed to travel to different tech and culture planets. Since that I miss that type of fun from the games. Maybe Empyrion can evolve that way at some degree.

    An evil little spoiler for you all tonight, in the vain hope that I can divert the spotlight from @Ramachandra 's INSANE AND WONDERFUL THING!!......*

    Here's the latest frontal view of Apollyon - Abaddon's Corvette Sized Luxury Yacht Little Brother** :D

    [​IMG]

    She's a bit of a heifer though, after we slimmed her down going from hardened steel to normal buttery stuff, she's still 2.3Kt, and that's without half the interior.

    Yes, this is the same ship we spoiled last time.... confused yet? good. :D

    * Damn man that's good detail. me likey likey :D
    ** Yes it's Corvette sized, 82.5m long is equivalent to the current Israeli Navy Sa'ar 5 which incidently, only weighs half the amount Apollyon does.

    @rainyday big mining rig features on Spanj’s must have BPs.

    Might need to find a happy MP server to play on until SP gets more content... that should be easy right? :(

    Today I put together a signal logic telltale display on my CV bridge to report the state of open or closed hangars. I'm forever forgetting to secure hangar doors before flight, so I sensed a happy excuse to do some playing around with signals to build myself a reminder system.

    ^ The red lamps indicate an open hangar door at Hangar 3 and at the front door of Hangar 2.

    ^ When all hangars are closed, the Alert display and all lamps are extinguished.

    I've updated the blueprint on the workshop.

    Love it! I'd like to see a deathtrap dungeon scenario involving this.

    The new POM textures will certainly give all the old ones a much needed face-lift but I'm most interested in seeing what the new ones will be. My current CV project is getting closer to completion but I don't want to invest too much time painting and fiddling with texture decals (something I spend FAR too much time screwing around with anyway) when things could look strikingly different post-patch.

    WASD is yours judging by your foolish grin?

    Will have a hunt for it.
    ETA: Search comes up empty...

    Today I continued working on the Cerulean Star. I think it's done, unless anyone has any suggestions.
    It's a class 6 now, but has very good maneuverability.

    I had three rules for the build.
    The ship had to be built around the main "thrust-star" and not block any it's thrusters.
    Any additional thrusters must follow the pattern of the thrust-star.
    Visible fuel lines outside the ship going to all thruster pods.

    That looks very reminiscent of this:

    monument-podgaric-croatia.adapt.1900.1.jpg

    This large winged sculpture in Podgarić, Croatia, holds a crypt with the remains of hundreds of Partisan soldiers who died while being treated at nearby hospitals.

    Getting an SV to look as much of-a-piece as yours is an accomplishment. Well done!

    besides two more reviews for my CV-Challenge, I've tested now @rainyday 's Mining-Hover in deep lava mining...

    __SURVIVAL___2017-09-21_17-03-40.png

    ...and it's doing really well!

    @rainyday : I've now added only one minigun turret at the top (two at the back did shoot themselfs!), lights one block behind, 2 ammo boxes on the sides directly on top of the Fuel tank and 1 fridge and 1 normal small cargo box to complement your design. Feel free to add.
    It's superb! So needs fast-mining to be! :);)

    edit:

    only thing is, we don't have flowing water or - in this case - lava ... yet ...

    __SURVIVAL___2017-09-21_17-43-38.png
    in that case I would be dead.

    another edit:

    @rainyday I would even suggest to replace one of both fueltanks besides the cockpit with a large Cargo box... with this Miner I drill so fast, I'm already full with both small Cargo box and Harvester box...

    but you really should have got your parts from germany, you know "made in germany" quality stuff and such, not china made in second hand hong kong or such :p
    (that was written wrongly on purpose, don't want to insult anybody here :oops:)

    see here:
    __SURVIVAL___2017-09-21_17-58-58.png
    only after 4-5 deposits!

    I want to have a replacement! Warranty Claim!!

    :p

    Similar reasons here. I hope something new ship for concrete. Other than marble, there is no proper stone textures available for large buildings. We may get some smart tools for texturing as well. This waiting for A7 is harder than hours of texturing-painting.

    The Yugoslavians had the taste for Sci-fi monuments. I had seen few photos from them somewhere.
