Spent some time reworking the exterior of my Brawler. Built it like the A10: a gun with a plane attached. She's ugly (don't tell her I said that) but I have complete confidence being safe attacking bases, patrol vessels, etc. Problem is a recent update borked a trick I was using to provide some extra protection for my weapons. So here is version 3.0. Obligatory link to Steam Workshop.
Sorry, no roof access to the flying lunchbox. I can always add a steel pole in the middle of the cabin.... I was a little sad with this build, I think if it as a mini-CV and I wanted to use some of the CV deco items in it. Sadly, the only deco item for SV's is the radar dish.
I am really digging the one on the left. I prefer attachment points that are at an angle, anything to get away from "a box" in this game helps to make a ship feel more like a ship and less like voxels. The left one does away with the boxy attachment points. IMO I would explore more options that way. Its hard to do a nacelle/saucer ship without it being immediately referenced to star trek, in fact I think star trek has already explored every nacelle/saucer combo in regards to position, number, shape etc. But that is where the one on the left shines, it feels pretty unique. I dunna I dig it, I wish it was my idea
Finished SentryMk.0 design. Pretty standard Idea. Drive it to where you need it. Park it. Attach desired turret. Load and salvage-gun the OH! S**T! international Orange pieces. Area denial in place. Enjoy. more variants and options coming when I get to it. NOTE: the thing has 5 Metric Tons of mass blocks in the base of it so don't expect it to drive like a mid-90's Corolla.
Today i was a little busy finishing one of my HVs. And retexturing it...... a lot. Thanks Eleon. :-D Still a lot of wort to do.
I have a similar SV design I call "Chevauchee" but I think I'll keep that one private . . . I don't do PVP often, but when I do, I pawn.
Kinda reminds me of the mobile defense tower I made a while ago. (I really need to update that blueprint).
[QUOTE = "Hicks42, príspevok: 179489, člen: 16445"] Dokončený dizajn SentryMk.0 . Docela štandardná myšlienka. Riaďte ho tam, kde ho potrebujete. Parkujte ho. Pripojte požadovanú vežu. Zaťažte a zachraňujte OH! S ** T! medzinárodné Orange kusy. Zrieknutie priestoru na mieste. Užite si to. viac variantov a možností, ktoré prichádzajú, keď sa k nim dostanem. POZNÁMKA: vec má 5 metrických ton masových blokov v základni, takže neočakávame, že bude jazdiť ako Corolla v polovici 90. [/ QUOTE]
Other than the kitchen, I'm not entirely sure what I'm seeing here. But I know it looks absolutely breathtaking. What HV is this the interior of?!
I am not quiet done yet. But on the picture you see: 1. the messhall for the crew, i was standing in front of the flatscreen TV making that pic 2. controlroom for the vertical mining tower on the second floor 3. medic room on the 2nd floor 4. main working area for the ore collecting and processing 5. main stairway with access to all 5 floor the HV is having. Not in the pictures are: - main bridge - both front control rooms - crew quarters with separate shower and toilette - rear weapons control room - front ammunition storage - front emergency generators - rear engine rooms - front O2 storage - both front fuel storage areas (no wait. actually 4, 2 on the first 2 on the 4th floor) - rear hangar area - side entrance areas with locker rooms - main storage area - upper flightdeck / docking area for the CV (maybe carrying SV) Most is almost finished. just a lot of retexturing and painting. Just a little work on the actual building side left. Some small rooms still have no function, but i am getting there. Right now the HV is size 21 but i fear it will grow a "little" more as some of the devices are not in yet. And the, for my industrial builds characteristic, external plating. What is a problem is the lighting you can imagine that this many rooms need a lot of lighting. The "ARRC Atlas MKII" was planned as a planetary high industrial HV. Not much of a practical use but more to show what's possible. I am planning on constructing a MKI that is smaller and more resource friendly. But i had fun to create this behemoth and still have.... although i must admit there have been times when i thought "oh man.... so much work left to be done. Screw this." As soon as i am finished i will publish the BP...... i just wonder what will happen first: Eleon brining more stuff to the game that is effecting my builds or me finishing the stuff releasing them for the public. :-D
Thank you. Wait for the exterior. When i get home from work today, i'll see if i can post a picture of all the HV/SVs Eleon makes me change because of their texture update. Maybe i can get a better picture across what my design philosophy is.
I've got a question folks. Since i've blown all the turrets off the PV, he just follows me around. What am I supposed to do with him next? How do you guys bring him down? I usually spend a LOT of ammo to bring these SOBs down... and then they either disappear before I can loot them or I have to destroy half of their blocks before they come down (since theres no Core aim anymore)
I have to agree. I prefer the one on the left, it somehow seems like an upgrade. I like Siege's idea of simply extending the ring into nacelles too. Something like an elongated horseshoe with warp drives at the ends and a central circular body. I do like the double saucer shape, it's just a shame that STiscovery has come up with the same thing.
Aww, this looks so nice! It makes me almost jealous that we can't use small blocks on CVs and Bases. EDIT: Btw, here's an update on my progress: With Bloom activated: The main body isn't finished yet. What you can see there are interiors. I'm not so certain about the proportions of the "horseshoe" should i make it smaller/bigger or more courved?
I like your (and others) CV design. To be honest, i only had time to make a couple of HVs and a few SVs, no real bases and CVs yet so i have high respect for every great CV build. I think it will be really hard for me too to build with big blocks, and i doubt i will do such a good job like you do with this pretty ship. But i promise i'll try. There is still the idea for a CV to carry my Atlas MKII around, a transporter and a "mothership". Maybe the transporter can bee a SV too when they get to HV <=> SV docking. And maybe.... we'll get to use small Blocks on CV/BAs too one day ;-)
Last night @Friendly Timo and I had an amazingly fun space adventure! We have our starter faction SV now, so it was time to visit the moon. On our way, we found Sathium and stopped to mine it. It was just plain fun, so we mined way more Sathium ore than we needed! Thousands more When we got to the moon, we found the Mining Hub and began looting all the medium armours and resources. (We also found night vision and other gear to share with @rainyday after.) There's an Outpost within range of the Mining Hub, so some cargo boxes were impossible to reach safely. I decided to use my drone to draw fire from the Outpost, and take cover behind the cargo, so the boxes would get destroyed and I could collect its contents. That was so much fun, and Timo joined in. We continued to scout the moon and spotted a lone pentaxid crystal. Are the days of crystal patches over? We found a pentaxid deposit near a hostile defense base, but we had to get it! I looked around and said, "Hey, that crater is so close, let's land there and tunnel over to the deposit." The tunnel we made turned out pretty neat. We prepared the location for our AutoMiner--when we return. In fact, the tunnel would be a great spot for a small subsurface moon expedition base. We're always going to need pentaxid, so a miner on our home planet's moon is fantastic!
I'll definitely use such a design. It's going to look really nice, it will probably be a smaller ship or a shuttle maybe? I'm still annoyed by it, lol. (not really )
Today I realized that PV_Patrol_S_Easy is a sensitive soul, misunderstood, alienated . . . in need of friend. I had already noticed his(her? . . . zer? ZiZer??) moodiness, ambling as ZiZer does around near the surface of Omicron, occasionally wandering over to my base to pop off a few half-hearted shots. It was hard to regard the frequency and periodicity of his volleys as shots in anger, and the complete lack of any shots from ZiZer's big guns told me clearly: this was not a true enemy, but a tortured soul merely looking for a friend. The few volleys it fired from its copious rifle turrets were just so languid . . . almost placid. I had half started to suspect that what PV_Patrol_S_Easy really wanted, was not to destroy me and humankind as the alien interlopers we are, but to find a new friend to play with. Now it is confirmed. Having declawed (de-turreted that is) the poor dear, here we see his/her/ZiZer's true nature coming out. It came over to my new CV while I was on the roof doing some renovations and laid its chin on my veritable lap like a forlorn puppy looking to be petted. Here is a better shot a few hours later after the sun came up. It just wants to be friends
