I finally completed Atlas-X! I'll post sometime soon. next day or so~ Still have to take photos and such. But here we are! I figured I would show off my first version of it and compare to the finished one. Enjoy! From this... To this...
Thanks for the info. In fact they could have simply done it straight from the very start and avoid a patchwork of band-aids mechanics (like physics). Working on a good foundation spares lots of hassles along the way, and we have seen these all along with patches "adapting" content to make it fit together.
I remember this... Finally I got rid of the artefacts and can use more than 5 textures... There will be lots of retexturing...
Using an HV as a mobile base has worked well in the early game. Piloting it became much easier with practice. I've managed to map roughly half of the starter planet and thanks to the extreme range of the mobile scanner I've found plenty of wreckage, minerals and POIs. Today I reached the point where I needed things that the HV's constructor can't make. Luckily, I found my way to a crashed capital ship that has enough goodies for several games. I only needed to core it and install a small generator. Here's the ship with my trusty van conversion HV: Spoiler: Capital Ship Devices
I'm looking forward to this. I've had an eye on that ship design for awhile and it looks like y'all did a bang up job.
hull is all Commanders handy work, i still suck at CV hulls LOL i did the entire insides but ill do it tomorrow since going to be a lot of images....
The Gun Turret is actual a low Level def Base. made of Concrete. Level 3 gives you all for it The other one is also a small base. I call it a Defense Grid, made of concrete too. Unlocks at Level 10. Can be submerged under the surface until only the guns point out. 1 Gun Turret in the center as support for the 28 Sentry Guns. Intended for Critter infested areas or part of a defense network around rural places where cannons would destroy the peaceful character of the settlement.

I started a new game today and hit FF a bit, but when I got to the Titan wrecks I was swarmed by hordes of spiders. The HV exhausted the ammo I had added and I had to back off to craft more. My meat stores are full now. Spider burger anyone? That was the spawn rate on Medium? My second project today, updating the HPOD HV's into mobile bases for 8.x. I had to sacrifice a few cargo boxes, but the clone chamber and medic station fit. Also, considering the scarcity of Sathium in the starter system, I stripped anything requiring it out. I will update the existing blueprints when 8.x goes live.
I had a pleasant surprise when I tried to transfer fuel cells from a water generator back to my inventory. Shift F works! No more clicking and dragging. Awesome!!!
The fastet way is certainly to just pickup the Generator and than the fuel cells that are dropped in neat little box
Three days ago I started a game to see whether an HV would work as an early game base. Here's where I started: And here's where I am now: I still haven't had to build a base. I found a wrecked CV with an Advanced Constructor that only needed a core and a small generator to be in business. I used that to make better gear for myself and the HV. Next up is POI assaults.
Hey! Great job! I just "brought down" one of the Spaceship Graveyard inhabitants... a Hakon...boy that thing dropped like a stone when entering the athmosphere
