Great work, y'all! And, nicely framed challenge, jenniphurr. It's good to see all of the new looks you folks are getting from our well-worn kit of parts.
Unzip it with a Zipping Program of choice... I use 7zip, then take what comes out & stick it into (Drive Letter) - Program Files (x86) - Steam - steamapps - common - Empyrion - Galactic Survival - Saves - Blueprints - (Damn Long Number Of Digits) - & here ya should see all your BPs... stick my BP here for the others to laugh at. I broke my brain trying to make something for this Challenge... broke my brain again lookin at the Pic above tryin to pick a top choice... >_< Meh, what does the Orange do that the Glowy of the Thrusters doesn't already? Redundant Systems FTW! 10/10 Klingons love being able to take a mortal would to their Heart & still stroll off the Battlefield & live to fight another day operating on their 2nd Redundant Heart.
I love me some OH! S**T! International orange... So named because if you need a piece of gear that is that color (Life-jackets, Immersion suits, Trauma Kits, etc) Oh, SH**!
Heya, got my crappy late entry to the Challenge, this was really hard for me to build so small xD http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1310368659
It looks like a Hammer... Me likey but that color of teal burns My eyes... not your fault though. Welcome to the Hanger Queen contest.
We shall call it Mini-Mjolnir! Great for those tough-to-reach nails and bopping wayward Zirax on the head.
It's specifically meant to be based on this ship from Homeworld: Cataclysm! http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hwcs/recon.htm
Today is the final day! Make sure all are uploaded to the workshop or file is attached here. But here is how today is going to work. Later on tonight i will be posting in this thread that the challenge is closed. Once that post has been made, no more entries will be accepted. I will then been loading up all the entries into the a custom world to look at first hand. If all goes well i might upload that world file here for people to look around on. Once this is done ill set up the polling site and we shall pick a winner! In the event of a tie/s, well do another poll between those entries and declare a winner! Good luck and thank you all for joining in the fun!
Got to take this moment to salute @Jenniphurr & others that have set up challenges for us to test our skills with. While there is a degree of challenge in building any vessel/base in EGS I much prefer the more focused challenges of building within restrictions I was going to run my own challenge series but with the move & life in general I haven't managed to get the ball rolling yet, primarily because it is intended to be an ongoing thing (Monthly) & I'd like to be fully settled before I initiate it. Getting real internet is the current hurdle.
Don't worry i am working to make this a bit for streamlined and quicker. But i do plan on putting more challenges out. I have some that you'll love and some that you'll hate! Bring on the challenges!!
Dunno if this is a major rule offence, but i found some problems with couple of ships. Not to be nitpicking here, just a friendly heads up. @monktk : found a docking problem, bottom middle section is in the way. @Captain Jack II : found a docking problem, mid row wall plates is in the way. @Theurgist : found a partially docking problem, bottom shutter windows in the back in the way. @Razorwire : found a partially docking problem, front truss wallblocks in the way. @Hicks42 : found a docking problem , all bottom shutter windows are in the way.
Sure , had to remove some stuff first, was wrenching on some other builds. I zipped it, hope that works for ya.
@Captain Jack II : found a docking problem, mid row wall plates is in the way. View attachment 38396 View attachment 38397 Oh. Good catch. This particular model requires a raised docking platform to accommodate the ships proprietary docking mechanism. So with the right equipment, it can still dock. I also checked the rules and while a landing gear is required, I don't think docking capability was on the list. In all seriousness though, I won't get any play time until later tonight, so it's likely it will remain a fighter, not a lander. EDIT: I tried. I did. I removed all the armor plating and put a landing gear in place that actually docked, and it was heinous. I refuse. The ship stands as is, dq or otherwise. Also, I have purple/pink and bright blue, paint, on my wingtips. Right up in my personal space. I feel like I didn't get my best angle here "Biggie". I thought we had this agent thing going on, but now I'm not so sure. Deadline while i'm working, "oh, your armor plating is blocking your landing gear so..." like I even tried to fly it. This was my first real challenge (as far as i know), so cut me some slack?
