Finally I’ve been able to outfit and finish my new hover vehicle. Morgenroete's ATV Over Lander - S This is the Level 10 standard edition of the Over Lander hover vehicle. The Cabin is pressurized, equipped and it now comes with a fitted a 30mm mini-gun for defence. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1605449294
I should have worked on my first (SV) SPQR Eridanus but... as I intend to start a new game I thought it would better to build my FIRST Hover Vehicle. I took ideas of its form and shape from a HV on the Workshop which was my default starter HV for the last Year. So -> (HV) SPQR Carrus Additional Pics for Stats and how Light and Texturing looks like If stepping out of the Seat and close to the windshield I am able to release the Drone HV not yet released on WS
<chuckle> I guess great minds think alike. It looks like you did a similar spotlight setup to what I pulled on a previous build. I'm guessing that the top spotlights shoot straight ahead and the bottom ones are aimed at the ground?
Started working on a portable clock, 7-segment indicator is a-ok. Still wrapping my mind around latches and other background concepts, without a real timer it may be impossible to run it on delays only.. Zero is not a separate signal but a state of no signals. Kinda intuitive
As for what I did in Empyrion today... If it fits I sits. (I could not find a landing pad large enough)
You could use a door pulse generator, which will give you a 1 second clock (not sure about its long-term stability; there'll probably be some drift over time).
I wasn't planning to work on my Goose CV at all. Not what I needed to work on. Not what I wanted to work on. But as popped into the game to start building something for the fun of it, there was the Goose sitting there in front of me. I can't even remember why I spawned it in this creative saved game. Slipped over there to check it for violation of the CPU maximum. A fair bit over just as I guessed it would be. The dilemma for me? To get the Goose under the CPU max, I have to use L thrusters. Which means it violates my original plans for the Goose. The Goose wasn't supposed to require erestrum or zascosium. So I can get the Goose under the CPU max, but I would need to accept a change in the parameters of materials to build the Goose.... Well, I have some time to ponder that. Old and new parked really close.... I think it looks better with the M thrusters, but it costs too much CPU. [edit] Went to orbit with my SV parked on the Goose. I knew that the Swallow is built for 2.0 g, but I forgot the 2 g thrust is the bottom thrusters. So when I pointed the nose to the sky, I watched my distance to orbit increase. I was falling! Then I remembered how I built the Swallow. Instead of pointing the nose to the sky, I aimed to climb at an angle. Amazing what a difference that made. Now I was climbing at a good rate.
Readied my 'Slicker' for the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1604497794 After some more practial excourses with my faction mate raiding some POI's, figured it does a nice job vs up to 8 Alien turrets (+ some sentries) HOWEVER, due to the small size, it is difficult to use it as fighter, IF the volume is ON. It has 2 CC with 1 CE each, so 2x 250l = 500l = 4 small ammo boxes. (thats 2 more than previously) After some test flights on medium (1.5-2g) gravity planets, figured it redlines.. So i've installed 2 more engines (7.2mw), now it handles well in up to 3G, where only an artistic flight stlye with loopings and screwdriver-turns will redline the engine. The 4 small cargo containers can only be physicly access in space, since we cannot crouch or lay under the SV, but since it has 'WiFi' who cares I really hope they push a volume update, and dont forget the sandbox aspect of the game in the meantime….
At one point I said that I would never make a CV smaller than the Courage. When I said that, I could never see myself doing this: Considering the Goose might not end up being the CV I had set out to make, perhaps a cheap freighter could be my consolation prize?
I finished the (SV) SPQR Eridanus - also not yet released on the WS - it has become a Heavy Transport/Dropship with "some" guns and Warp. It comes at Level 20 because of the mounted weapons but by removing those you can have it at Level 10 I believe.
Would be awesome if they gave us a lcd display with the i/o gate system I was just playing with this lcd gate simulator in this flash based page http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6652874004103168/lcd-display-and-logic-gates Might be useful for some if we ever get the LCD feature ^-^ OOh imagine a weight counter for ships ^-^ @Pantera
I made a box ..that moves! It's on workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1606387731 Lvl 7 CV, stores 1,280,000 SU, 45 m/s lift (easily increased with CV S thrusters) Was attempting to make a POI-salvager HV (basically re-making the old WorkerBee hv) and quickly realized that it's not really feasible unless you have a CV sized box to unload into nearby (the more efficient / common sense thing would be to allow CV multi-tools to be used on planet) so I made this box CV to go along with the salvager HV. It's pretty much done but I need to do a bit of survival testing and might re-paint it to match the box. It's made to tilt fully left/right by toggling hover engines and raising/lowering hover height. (so it can both mine dirt around POI's and Multi-tool stuff down in the ground

Made some improvements to my on my hover vehicle today. Morgenroete's ATV Over Lander – S - Ver 1.1 is now available. Added rear cargo area for them extra-large items. To increase manoeuvrability and balance. I’ve removed the harvesting module from the front. Finally I've upgraded the thrust for forwards and backwards.

I love that with the diagonal angled spotlights we can actually achieve two different angles of illumination...
