I got in the mood to make an airplane-style SV and ended up making a whole family of them. From left to right, you've got a cargo version (the one that's most practical for actual survival use), a gunship, and a passenger transport. I'm particularly happy with the passenger variant's interior: The gunship turned out pretty cool too. Sadly I discovered that you can't actually mount guns sideways on an SV, I had visions of an AC-130-style gunship and they were shattered by reality. I'll probably put these on the workshop soon. I've also got some other projects going. First up is an HV that's inspired by real-world hovercraft and which really reminds me of Soviet military stuff for some reason: And finally, a monster CV I've been working on for a while. The hull is almost finished, now it's mostly just the monumental task of decorating and configuring the interior stuff. This hangar shot might give you an idea of h ow massive it is:
I took the excellent Argentspire Reginery add on, and turned it into a quad furnace setup. Which involved quite a bit of rebuilding and internal design. Argentspire Quad Refinery
Was looking through all the boats today testing them properly, notice Mantra 420 and Sting 360 both showed little flashes of water in cabin from time to time. This was due to being just slightly over weight for the given hover thrusters. Resolved by adding more hovers to mantra as she had the space and has more size and weight, extra 3 hovers was essential. Resolved by removing 2 o2 tanks and 1 medium thruster from the sting. The sting had no o2 station anyway and for its small size I think 3 medium thrusters pushing forward were too much. Both seem to be comfortable again now, no wet wooden floor haha Made minor repairs and tweaks to some of the other boats too, also updated the old yacht v1 v2 v3 for 0.80. Speedboat v4 was just finished being converted and I like it, now at 0.80 like all others. Had to remove the radar dish on top though as its weight was just too much for the current rear hover setup and there is no room to put anymore in there. All these vessels are on display in my server "The sea of Manhar" at the fixed start point on a dock in middle of the sea if anyone just want's to see them all in game in one place Will let you ride em around if you ask nicely
Perhaps a "secondary" cockpit just for the guns? A sideways cockpit to go with the sideways guns. Technically, you can put guns on backwards on a blueprint. But it won't fire backwards. My solution that has worked? I put a cockpit that faces backwards to match the guns. Now to use my guns I will have to switch to the cockpit that matches the guns, but now I can use those guns.
Nexus Station Update: I still have a lot left to do but I'm making good progress. The station is looking a little more respectable these days. Spoiler I just finished redoing the park. Spoiler
Next on my "To-Do"-List is a pretty hard Nut. At least for me. I intend to build the next Base on my List: The Tactical Command Center. Also an Imperial Installation, not build to impress but to intimidate. The shape should give some kind of a Star Fort...but we all know the build engine does not provide the right stuff to build Hexagons on a big scale. For completeness I ll add a previously posted picture to give some feeling for the extend and size of it. The Outpost was in the NC-Version and the SP-Version intended for Level 3-10 mainly built of Concrete. The TCC goes more towards 10-15 because of T1-and T2 Devices, and the use of Armored Concrete. Will me take a while as I built it in Survival Mode on the Arid Planet
worst part about empyrion there are not enough shutter/ or hangar door sizes... so for now just a place holders ( hopefully we will get biggr doors in next updates )
Greetings Today I was inspired by one small SV: This is Original: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=832836249&searchtext= And this is created by me from the very foundation: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1442919746 Compared to the original template, I'm going upstairs has more equipment has Warp drive
And the ikkle boat is now on workshop. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1443291554 Sunspot S26 (ignore the s12 in pic, was random number for test) 26 foot 2 man speedboat with fridge, cargo box and constructor. She is very light so even at 0.80 you can see a few inches of the bottom layer above the water line. This just means you have room to add some extras before sinking it
I haven't really been in the mood for empyrion lately, but today I finally hopped on to release my new hovertank, the T4-Peril A surprisingly sleek design for my standards, but one I feel is great nontheless. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1443394763
The Station update is probably about 90% finished at this point. I'm just working to finish the other 90%. Every time I think I'm getting near the end I find something else that needs doing that wasn't on my list. Currently working on putting together all the shops. I didn't think there was that many but apparently there are.
Ok so cant just have 1 type of small speedboat so here is a second variation on the design, its a faster version with a thin roof visor, extra glass either side, constructor relocated, rear end tweak, 3 speed control panel ! Still 4 blocks of empty space under the hood and 1 in the trunk. I give you the Treleste 26, the slightly more expensive sports version !
Collection updated, nice new background pic, the 2 speedboats are in. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1425067582 I know this is a galactic survival space ship game and I do thank you all for putting up with my boats lately ! I really want to see somebody else make a small speedboat. Only took me an hour to make that first one last night. The bonus of this is you can gradually increase the size and shape of that one hull to make a whole range of boats pretty quickly if you wanted like what I did with the Aerie, sting and mantra. You have a billion boat pics on google to inspire you, you have my work here to show you that it is possible. If anyone wants to take it as a challenge then do so ! I know there is not much call for boats in empyrion as a galactic survival game, but they are taking downloads and quickly creeping up the HV most popular of the week chart xD Lancia 980 especially ! Not that any of that matters to me, i simply build these boats because I now know its possible to create nice boat designs. I have always loved seafaring especially on a platform called second life where I did a lot of sailing with some awesome boats If people want them or not is beside the point, I am on a seemingly huge creative inspirational role here with these boats and I intend to continue until the tap runs dry ! I feel its getting close too haha this is why I want someone for the pure fun and love of it, to make a cute little speedboat and then maybe even lead on to making a couple more based on its initial design. Much love people ! it is the community and their/your work that has inspired everything I do here. It is the developers and their work that has made it all possible. This game is amazing.
