After the Water Skeeter I made earlier I decided to go along the same lines for my entry into Jenniphurr's hover racer (and base) challenge. I'm still debating on what to call it, and I'm still tweaking it, but this is what I have so far.
As the Space Combat scenes are in principle done (minus more PDA-Fu) I decided to go live with it and hopefully will get some Feedback to make it even better! So please test it, give Feedback and Rate if you like! Thank you! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1340808407
I was working on a variant of my Argos Transport with a bigger, front facing landing bay but it ended up looking like a Jawa Sandcrawler. NOT the look I was going for. Back to the drawing board on that. In the meantime I thought I'd go back to working on this: The interior is largely done aside from textures which I'm still in the process of figuring out and I've no idea how I'm going to handle the thrusters yet. I wish we had 4 way texture rotation. It really bugs me when they don't line up so I end up not using the textures I really want to use.
After a bit of a hiatus, I figured I would give the ZeroG racing HV challenge a go. Got the framework done, needs a splash of colour and a pedestal
I'm big fan of old 'pre-alpha' and 'alpha 1' things in game - from time before I started to play Empyrion From today's perspective all those bases & vessels made from early days basic shapes to me does look like something from 'the past', so from time to time I take some of them and rebuild them... Who knows, they could be useful in future scenarios & gameplay! Old gun-towers are perfect for new bigger planets especially when talented people start to make properly handcrafted worlds - even I can think 100 different uses and positions for them! During the december I started working on them & also few other old POIs to make a set, and I did make a good progress on them - but then a 'good MP server happened' so I 'lost' at least two months of EGS life on in Now Lift Pizzas re-did them officially and they are coming back in game for real, so I decided to finish what I started and in the same time to make them in some aspects a bit like Lift's. Reds are big-gun turret defencive outposts, Blues are sentry-gun only communication bases, there is a Drone Base and Supply Base, and I will make also base for troop transport, vehicle service depo, and maybe patrol vessel base... I did play a bit with markings & colors, and I have some general story for them and for other 'playset' to counter this one
Great work! there are some really great creations being made for this challenge! We have a few shown off over on our Discord here is the link if you are interested as we would love to have you over there! https://discord.gg/86rUrYu
not much of a griper and i never usually complain but i was hoping this community would be mature and understanding then i forgot there is trolls in every community T_T not i wouldent give two **** if they commented why they hatted it but no they just give a thumbs down, its really stupid and childist of the person to not give feedback on why you think it sucks, ever since i had my aegis HQ ontop of the workshop all my aegis work has been getting 7-10 thumbs down with no reason why, i eve said in my baikal publish give me a reason why you hate it so i can fix it, but after 10 hours my baikal now going to 15 thumbs down with no explanation, im being trolled and attacked by a small part of the empyrion community, then i, just in case looked back on my other work, more down votes then last time i looked at it, so i figured its trolls and stuff but keeping one of the front page by down voting makes me think the attacker is 1) a troll, in witch case i cant say anything to a abuse victom, 2) a jelous builder who dosent think of himself to much and instiead of inspiration gets angry its not there work, or 3) other vet builders not wanting me to show off my builds. not like i said im normally not this triggered im not in this for YOU with my aegis builds i plan to use these but i like sharing, what im triggered at is the fact i deal with this "thumbs down with no explanation" bull on EVERY one of my builds im not quieting building or anything but its very annoying any time i get a build done that same day minimum of 3 thumbs down every time. anyone else getting trolled the same way? if so whats your opinion on it?
Did the "Elysian Dream" for the challenge here: https://empyriononline.com/threads/challenge-single-t1-large-generator-cv.36688/page-7#post-225719 Will post it tomorrow
My Racer for Jenniphurrs Challenge is finished. My first try wasn't bad... but I've seen Jennies old Phantom SV... and I needed that thingie... The Result: A pure RACING Machine, pure Thrust and Agility Power: and the best, it comes with an excellent First-Person-View!! Spoiler: but see yourself: yes, at the background that was my first try... ;-)
I also made a racer - it's prototype Grand Prix version of Python, Turbo GP! Not sure is it finished... Red lady in background is Python TR (Turismo Regulare). They are produced by Doobs Hovermotive Works Factory! Their motto "We are proud, in our Chrome"
I was debating creating something but here I see someone else beat me to the number 13. First I really ought to finish my CV. Still, I was tired when I got to finally play EGS again, so I stayed away from texture and paint work. My first draft is not pretty, takes forever to stop and side thrust is nearly non-existent. Was thinking I would eventually make a selection of concepts hopefully gaining skill as I go. Maybe something would eventually look like a racer. Sort of how I did my mini BPs, created a whole number of concepts and then narrowed the field down to just four to refine and complete (still have two of those to complete--so many incomplete projects and I keep getting easily distracted with new ideas). Spoiler: The distractions just don't stop It was nice to be able to do something other than sleep and work. Granted, I was tired when I put together this draft. Actually cleared the top light on my "boost meter" twice.
After a long break I felt the itch to build again when a shape popped up in my mind, and this is how it manifested. I think the exterior mostly complete there is not much to show from the interior yet, certain parts of the layout finished there.
I am forever in awe of your unmatched architectural mastery, Rama. That's not a POI, it's a work of art, and it would shame me to fire upon it. Loving both of these. Though rucky, maybe trade the "vent" textures on the wheels for that ribbed "garage door" one (bottom row, column 2)? Just a thought, looks wicked either way. As for me... been trying to make good on a SV/CV combo for a friend ("civilian" stuff, in the same vein as the Aetheria), but sadly I've been slacking and spent all last night playing around with my own contribution to the HV racer craze. I've been in absolute awe of Jenn's craft in particular, and decided I'd try leveling up my own skill with wall-block shapes... not sure if the XP grind has paid off, but... Still got a bit of work to do on textures and the front end. Might need to do some weight-shaving as well - right now it's 30m/s rear, 10m/s other. Current working name, "Starlight" (#83), though I've yet to find the right spot for the LCDs.
very fatigued lately little to no sleep, and its effecting my cognitive functions, ill be inactive from building and survival for a a few days.
Don't worry about those few thumbs down. Haters gonna hate... it is not their purpose to give valuable feedback. Every moment you spend writing this long text is pretty much a waste of time. Besides: it is Steam we are talking about. I am pretty sure who ever did this might not be on this forum here. So don't expect an answer from those who troll you. Answering needs guts to be exposed to the public, that is not what a hater/troll is about ;-) So what do they say? To make trolls vanish drag 'em into the light. :-D
well trolls usually dont trigger me, only reason Dawg did before he was banned was he went on a rampage with death threats on my workshop items, screenshots and even joined my clans TS3 threatening to hack it. i did a study with my uncle who is a therapist, we came to the conclusion that more then 70% of trolls are a victim of there family abusing them, giving them depression and bad thoughts, trolls or bullying is a cry for attention and help in most cases, ya sure its the wrong way of doing things, but how would they know, there smiling and enjoying us being pissed off to make them feel better so they dont have to think about there father beating them or worse, so i pity trolls if anything, only troll that really gets to be are the "meme masters" very annoying, there goal usually is just attention and to make friends that do same thing.
Pitying the ever living hell outta Trolls is bout all we can do. For the Topic: I have a Race Entry done for Jenn's Challenge... but it's Classified till I can get it submitted to reduce the risk of losing out on the Number I picked out for it. Next, making its Display Area. One Sneak Peek tidbit about the Racer I can give as a Teaser is that I succeeded in following through (Hopefully) with my idea of making it a Racing Truck!
Oh yeah..... an A-Team racevan. Or a race-tank.... or think "twisted metal" style strange => Icecream truck. Sooooo many mad ideas right now. I actually a transportation HV that looks like a flatbed truck with he opportunity to build on the back what ever you like for transportation. But don't worry, i don't think about using that. XD A race truck would be neat though.
