    I've seen it, but you were too fast removing it again ;-)
    Give Steam a few Minutes to handle it ;-)

    I personally love seeing the thread spasm as it loads, means there's a bunch of pictures for me to oogle at.
    Don't get me wrong, I tend to agree with you on your point. I'm on limited internet currently so too many images will gobble up my data. The thing is that, from what I can tell, the images get loaded anyway, whether or not they are 'hidden' behind spoilers, so using them has no advantage for the bandwidth challenged out there.
    I actually dislike when people add images to threads and don't link into their post. It means I have to click to start viewing them, then click to move to the next one. I prefer them to be all laid out and ready to make my eyes pop out.
    If there's a spoiler tab or two I tend to be happy as using those usually means there's a bunch of images behind each spoiler

    Isn't half of the point of this thread to show your efforts or builds you're particularly pleased with? ^^

    I guess a lot of it boils down to personal preference. You don't like image spam, so you tend to avoid doing it yourself. I don't mind it, so unless I'm posting a LOT of images I tend to just post them and be done with it.

    a bit more patience my firend ;-)
    make a new Save, that is save the vessel as a new blueprint (and check if the picture is made - the above missing pic indicates there was am error doing so), then upload it.
    and then wait up to 5 minutes.

    Worked on my CV a bit more. I am calling it Nurture. Very different than my norm.

    I think the grow lights look strange on the glass windows.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-16-51.png

    But a pic like this next one just looks so perfect to me.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_21-30-37.png

    A little better view in the daylight on Omicron, where I built a pad in the middle of an oasis.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-04-27.png

    From the rear.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-12-41.png

    A view into the hangar. It isn't big enough for the extra points in the challenge. The 5 x 5 door and ramp(s) are rigged to a motion sensor.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-12-48.png

    There is a pretty good view out the front.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-13-24.png

    Engineering ended up getting split. On one side is the warp drive and core.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-17-04.png

    On the other side is the generator, a couple constructors and a few other devices.

    Creative2_2018-03-08_22-16-33.png

    When I first got to Omicron, the flight time was about 16 minutes and 77% power while cruising.

    [​IMG]



    also @Tyrax Lightning

    my flagship is under special request to a top tier builder, since like i said before im not skilled enough to take on a CV yet a request was given to redo my flagship to a vet on my friends list, but it will be a while before its redone and uploaded publicly on the workshop, so ill give you more detail when i can give everyone its first teaser image atm he only did one wing and that not showing much lol

    @dpburke2 thanx for the pics :)
    It's coming along! Nice Shape!
    but alot of growing lights you have there ;-)
    1 for 9 pots are enough, you know that, right ;-) you "could" easy remove more than 2/3 of them ;-) (all outers f.e.)

    THIS is the reason pictures in this thread are helpful: you can get some feedback from others.

    Personally I'm still struggling with the Interior of the IRON HAWK...

    [​IMG]

    Initially started as a Project for the new CV-Challenge, it got much much bigger than I thought... :eek::oops::rolleyes:

    Nevertheless, it's main Purpose will be of a Fast-Response-Assault-Carrier/Dropship.
    And I really like the outer Shell so far!
    Not quite as fast as the Scout - 87m/s² main and 35m/s² lateral versus 101m/s² and 40m/s² of the IRON DUKE - and sadly (that's my problem atm!!) much less immersive interior!!
    but on the other hand way way more hangar space (and way more Turrets: Max besides both Artys)

    [​IMG]

    Has double decks which can hold at max 2 WAR-Mongers and 3 Mark 5s, or more smaller vessels.
    Still, now there is no(t much) space for cafeteria, medic and rest area....

    Lower main hangar deck for big things like WAR-Mongers...
    Also small working area with 2 Adv. Constructors, 10 Cargo boxes, Harvester Box, Emergency Pilot seat, 6 Ammo boxes, Repair station, 2 Armor lockers and Medic Station...

    [​IMG]

    ... O2 Station and Filling Stations for O2 and Fuel... and some Storage for that too (4 Cargo boxes).
    It's a Fly-Through Hangar. Still, WAR-Monger will not pass the Front sadly...

    [​IMG]

    The upper Deck with two Engineering Rooms, one holding Warp Core and Fuel tank, the other the Generators and RCS2.
    18 Growing Plots together (also divided) and 1 Food Processor.
    What NOT shown here is there are multiple Force field interruptors installed to make the middle area full air tight and sealed in case of Hull breach situations!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Up to this it's all okay and I like it!
    But now we're approaching the Front... and I begin to struggle... there is not much space left...

    [​IMG]

    You see another backup Pilot seat, full air tight.

    [​IMG]

    I had to cut the front in half to make "a Room" for a Medical Bay - but it's just ... looks.... out of place...

    [​IMG]

    ... and way too small too...

    [​IMG]

    Perhaps I'm spoiled from that BIIIG immersive Bridge I had build for the OMICRON II...

    But this is... tiny...
    even the Scout has way better Bridge and Medic - but then not much of a Hangar to speak of...

    [​IMG]

    Going down to the small 8-bed Rest area...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Back at the Bridge...

    [​IMG]

    THIS is what struggles me most:

    [​IMG]

    Any Ideas how to make it better?

    How about adding decorative displays/consoles to the medbay side of the passageway?

    good idea, but not possible as this are all small wall blocks showing to the hallway :-(
    that is, right side passenger seats, left side wall blocks, only the mids is clear...

    edit: only thing I could think of is an "open" medical bay... hm...

    That was my other thought. When I did my HV I decided against a medbay type facility. Since it's meant as a combat vessel I decided that having medical storage was sufficient. Any troops that head into battle without the necessary supplies should be culled anyway. And probably will.

    More fodder for the Darwin Awards. ^^

    [Edit: rofl! I didn't know that the Darwin Awards have an actual website now, time for some comedy!]

    Maybe do another "loft" type of space? Kind of like your bridge but for other stuff. Though it could feel a little cramped because it would only be 1 block tall on both the top and bottom. Maybe then use a vaulted-like ceiling to make it appear more spacious in the loft (that ramp block that goes from full size to half size). Just a thought.

    you mean to get another "level" in there? one level is more or less walkway (as there can't be placed anything because <1 block (walkway blocks in that space!)) and the other level are the medics... interesting, that would "widen" up the area...
