https://empyriononline.com/threads/zerog-challenge-build-01.36343/page-9#post-217782 IMHO a good idea for future Contests. On second thought, this is a good point... Not me, i'll pass on doubling my self humiliation... Can the Poll include a Pic of the Entry to help us remember which Ship is connected to which Name of Ship for Memory Aid? I totally dig the Wing Work on this dude.
Now that i'm not the ONLY one who oopsed on this, I feel a little better now... in a guilty kinda way. *Wonders if i'll ever find a Recycle Use for the Tyrax Camo Bomber...*
Oh ok. I though blocksize was the number indicated in the actual stats page. My bad and ofcourse that design is automatically disqualified. Have a nice one regardless, I won't have enough time to participate on this challenge anymore
I really like the shape of this ship! There are a lot of lovely sleek builds here, but you've done something very pleasing with the bulk on yours.
I have to admit "usefulness" wasn't my main guiding principle when building my ship either. I ended up putting railguns on it more because I like their look then actually finding them to be really practical for the ship. Probably in practice I'd end with lower tier weapons on a ship this expensive. I tend to treat SVs as more expendable resources when actually going after POIs, so don't invest high-tier resources in them too often. Mind, I play PvE rather than PvP, so perhaps that is done differently.
Well... in hindsight, I like the results of my Tyrax Camo Bomber better then my last SV Build I was thinkin a failure for awhile... so this might not have been a total loss for me. The Camo Bomber might be Live Play worthy at least, even if it turned out to be unusable in this Contest.
Here's my submission: Intermission Scout / Fighter SV workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1305299358 (better description and pictures on workshop) 13x6x17 blocks. 2 gating/2 Rocket, warp drive, ventilated interior, passenger seat, constructor, O2 fill station & armor locker, fridge, 4 cargo, 2 ammo boxes. Player-drone launchable from inside pressurized area. Sensor controlled doors, ramps, lights. Named and shaped to match my larger heavy assault SV, Intervention. Yellow parts repaintable with replace-all to any bright color. Had a hard time picking a color, ended up just going with black/yellow to match my other stuff. One pic below shows various other colors. Spoiler: More pictures/stats screen
Finally i have my little creation ready! So without long speech.... I present to you the "Rigger" http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1305339231 It has installed: - pressurised cockpit - 2 fridges - 1 constructor - 5 cargo boxes - 1 O2 station - 1 Armourlocker Warpdrive is also installed. Weapon: - 2 Railguns - 1 Pulselaser - 1 Homing Missilelauncher Idea behind it: From your work on this planet you safed enought money to buy used parts to finaly leave this barren rock. So you journey to your local junkyard and bought what was avialable. At least you hope to get an functional and working little spaceship to start exploring the near systems.
Whatta you know... Tonga Did make it into Space. Gotta War Canoe right here. Good lookin stuff man. Looks like a mutated pissed off Hind.
Well.... I have to take back my words. Turns out I got some extra time today after my workday since @Starwing6 is (still) working on some project and had to get my brain busy with something too. Sooo... we here at the Dreschner Corporation have been working overtime to provide you with your latest personal fighter! May I present you: DSV - Albedo I made sure I used every single block in the allowed dimensions and included all the needed devices. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1306072460
I'm late to the party... but anyway, here is the Pharos L-SV. Personally, I prefer the non warp capable Pharos SV, but since it has to, it has to. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1306034161
Love the name (favorite comic-book title) Good lines performance is a little under-par to me, however I am not wholly convinced my requirements are reasonable... especially since I set them High on purpose. I have trouble meeting my Own nominal performance targets let alone my gold standard of 64m/s^2 in all vectors for an SV. Nice ship dude.
Thank you! I agree on the performance being rather moderate. I aimed for middle ground between the armor and the performance. I know building from steel rather than hardened steel would have allowed for much better performance BUT then it would have sacrificed the protection. LOL I think it just is that I am just as slow as this ship so it seems more faster for me
Hardened steel is on all of my combat SV's. To reach the performance I want I am not sure It is possible yet... IE. Haven't made one I'd fly with those stats.
