Gentlemen..... it's been a long war but TODAY WE'RE CANCELLING THE APOCALYPSE!!! lol Watch some Pacific Rim last night but these latest human NPCs are pretty EPIC. It would be cool if these NPCs could help us raid a base or maybe we can hire enough of these security NPCs to have a small army and invade a planet .
THANKS!! . Have you seen the latest NPCs they added? They added aliens security NPCs too.. There are so many things the DEVs could do with these NPCs. I would love to have the ability to have our own army in this GAME even if its for Single player.
They do remind you of StormTrooper's don't they? LOL I'm really buying into the human NPCs idea. Once the devs give them a function it's going to change the game completely.
They look great and adding them to those big builds will make them more fun. For now, I'm pleased to have them around. So much the better if they become capable of enough interaction to become a significant part of the game.
Very impressive and well disciplined army you have there sir. Oh wait, third guy on left in second row, chewing gum... ;D
Reminds me of the skyloft I made a couple of months back. I built a line of blocks 200 high then used triangle blocks to build upwards and outwards in a tapered fashion, this prevented any collapse of structure. In all honesty though its safer to build it in space first I had a cv elevator carriage attached to my sky loft that would ride up and down the 200 block support by being perfectly interlocked with the bases blocks passing straight through the centre ^_^
Pics of the initial concept build are here https://empyriononline.com/threads/what-did-you-do-in-empyrion-today.2826/page-321 The completed workshop entry is here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1127134506 It is just a little base with landing pad on roof, please not that the centre blocks had to remain higher than the structures body else it would all collapse and leave just a big stick in the ground xD So the little glass box on roof with a door, if the glass removed the whole thing will break. And the carriage itself is here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1127094813 It would on occasion stop half way up or down, a quick press of the autolevel key O allows it to continue. No I never had any major physics glitching. It was a lot smoother running than I expected ^_^
Oooh, space elevator anyone? I have used the jet pack to go into orbit, just to see it could be done. I like the idea of getting into an elevator shuttle instead. I guess an orbital station attached to the ground via an elevator shaft would not be possible. Worth a try though, right?
... i think i went a bit overboard with it. The space base is the U.E.F.S Contact (SV). (really wonderfully done btw.) Loooong corridor: Decent sized Hangar: Tiny (for my standards ) Engineering: It's slow, heavy, expensive, cannot land on planets, and inside is barely any room. It is basically everything that unpopular in EGS. But somehow i felt in love with the simple design. (Maybe it's just the first sign of insanity, lol)
That ship reminds of some of the older Starfleet science vessel designs(which is not a bad thing). Love the retro feel of it. Keep on working on it!
Nope that would not be possible im afraid, limited to overall entity length and that there is no connection between a planet and its orbit. I like your thinking though. I intend to build a monorail of sorts across lake akua soon
Built a nice CV to move my stuff to a better planet to live on, only to find A CV won't spawn on the starter planet and won't fly into the atmosphere from space meaning my HV is stranded there.
